Synapse

I haven’t encountered this problem myself.

This isn’t exactly what I recommend. Only in the case the hardware is bleeding edge, as in, it was released less than 6 month ago, then check in which Kernel version it starts to be supported, as well as check the Kernel version shipping with the distribution you are interested in installing. Distro Kernel version >= Kernel version where the driver starts to be included, no problems. Otherwise, check a distro that has more frequent upgrades.

Things to check: GPU, CPU, WiFi chip, Ethernet chip. In windows you can find the information in the device manager. On Linux (e.g: test with a live USB) the command lspci with display the information.

A common case would be: I am interested in Debian because I heard it’s the most stable, will my AMD 5070XT work with that ? Probably not very well, better Check Ubuntu non-LTS or Fedora.

I am not recommending op to modify the Kernel from the Linux distro, just consider this point in choosing the distro.

Don’t know if it’s underrated: margherita. Simple, delicious.

Ok, thank you for the explanation. Probably not a project I would use, but it’s very cool that you share your project!

I am not sure to understand the goals of this project. Is it only to interact with radarr and sonarr via CLI instead of accessing the web interface? Am I missing something?

FOSS driver only, the choices are AMD and Intel. Nvidia is out of the picture.

Of coursenouveau drivers are still around and under active development, but as far as I know the performance if still very far from reasonable expectations.

There are some plug’n’play solutions out there, all off-the-shelf NAS you can find nowadays will have an “app store” type of things that will let you install Jellyfin and others Webservice in one click.

The DIY way is cheaper, more flexible, more powerful, but it’s a journey and it can be very frustrating. I too, regularly spend hours if not days on problems that end up basically as “I’m an idiot and had a typo in the config file the whole time”. It’s a hobby for me, I don’t feel like it’s wasted time, I enjoy it, I’m learning stuff.

This, plus self hosting jellyfin and *arr and I basically have a better service, with no ads, nice UI, access from all my devices, offline access, 4K resolution, music streaming. Basically the all-inclusive premium plan, not exactly for free, but for a very reasonable cost.

If you want to bring more people to Linux, preaching is really not a good way to do that. We are not a religion, we are not a cult. We are an enthousiastic bunch or nerds :)

Avoid behind judgemental of people that use Windows, Mac or other proprietary software. Do not talk about Linux in length when it was not solicited.

Instead, you can show how enthusiastic you are about all the cool things you are doing with your computer that happens to be running Linux!

When people around you, do make the choice to switch, of their own will, then offer your help with all the patience and understanding you have.

All the best 🐧🐧🐧

My work mobile is Samsung and anytime I hear the default Samsung ringtone anywhere I feel a stress spike.

Yeah, I think breathing accounts for $1440.

I would take steps income. Going for a jog twice per week, assuming I’ll be taxed at the same rate as my current job, I’ll still earn much more money for way less time investment, plus I would be fit and I enjoy running.

I have a good experience with the NVidia shield TV (2017). Jellyfin app work great without tinkering and HEVC deciding is supported by this device, minimizing the need of transcoding.

The experience outside of Jellyfin needs some work though, to get an ad-free experience. Once Projectivy Launcher and Smart Tube installed and configured, I am fully satisfied.

I haven’t played too much with Raspberry, I think HW decoding is still a point of pain.

Oh ? I thought this was a new flavored vodka. You saved me a click right there !

I use 2 VPN with my setup:

1. The private one, hosted on a VPS (OVHcloud). I set it up my self. It’s a bit of work, as you need to take care of properly setting up firewall and reasonably security this server as it is directly facing the Internet. OVH provids some good guides on their website and you can find other resources. You can rent the lowest tire VPS and deploy Debian and Wireguard and you’re all set ! This VPN is for connecting to my NAS at home from outside, and also for secure Internet browsing from public WiFi. This is my own VPN for me and myself (plus my family to a lesser extent).
2. The one for Torrenting exclusively Linux ISO of course. This one is a Nord on subscription, and the benefits is not really privacy IMO but rather to be drown into the traffic of thousands of other users.

I am a little bit bummed to see the RAM is soldered and the storage options are limited to SD card and eMMC. But it definitely looks like the most mature Risk-V computer one can get at the moment.

I had to control my laugh during a meeting :D

Sometimes I just hate the autocorrect on my phone… I meant to write “shot glass of rhum”

You can make banane flambée !

• Split the bananas length-wise as good as possible, they should split in 3.
• lay them done in a pan
• heat it until hot, no need to cook them too much
• sprinkle with powdered sugar
• prepare a shitshot glass of brown rhum and some matches (or lighter)
• pour the shot on the bananas and light it on fire !!! 🔥
• turn of the heat, let it extinguish buy itself

Et voilà ! You have delicious caramelized banana desert!

This may be a simple coincidence. Maybe you had similar YouTube suggestions in the past but you didn’t pay attention because they come at random times. Like if you drive a Honda Civic, you tend to spot all the Honda Civic in the street.

There would be an interesting experiment to make though:

1. Take a snapshot of your YouTube recommandations
2. Choose a subject that has nothing to do with any of the recommandations, let’s say “travel to the Bahamas”
3. Hold a conversation with someone with both your phone’s present, mention several time going to the Bahamas.
4. Check YouTube again, si if the topic of Bahamas is appearing.
5. Choose another topic not covered by your recommendations, let’s say collecting stamps
6. Put your phones away, have a conversation about collecting stamps
7. Check YouTube recommandations
