Do what I do. “Oh shoot, Jellyfin stopped, now I have to remember how to tell Arch to clear out its cached packages” (it’s pacman -sc if you’re me and you’re reading this in the future)
This is me… In general with Linux. So I have a whole section of my Obsidian vault dedicated to troubleshooting and setup steps for my server projects. It’s saved me hours of research already. Stupid brain…
This would have been exciting to me if it was like back in the PowerPC dying out days when my old elementary school gave away all their old macs from the computer lab and I acquired about half of them and installed Linux on them.
The link from Lemmy takes you to an email sign-up page instead of actual content that requires you click “No Thanks” first before you can continue. I should have stopped there but I didn’t. To bypass the sign up page copy the link and remove the “r” variable from the query string first.
The only thing I saw referencing Nobaru linux was a link near the top of the page to who knows where. The rest of the page is filled with words haphazardly forced together against their will, and it shows.
Have you learned nothing from paywalled articles and blogs from 2002? You get them interested in what you have to say. Make them laugh. Compliment them. Put in a little work first.
By then you’ll both be so into it that nicely asking for what you want to do is a mere (but neccessary) formality (consent is always required – Ed.).
Then after a few paragraphs you whip out the unskippable popup and stop the fun until they show you the goods, and they’ll give up that fake email address you want so bad willingly.
You don’t go right for it right out of the gate and shoot your wad immediately. It’s a good way to make sure no wants to check you out again. It’s just bad form. People talk.
If you are using Ubuntu, they have live patch available. You have to sign up for Ubuntu Pro, but that is free for individuals. I just heard about this and haven’t tried it yet ubuntu.com/security/livepatch
For KDE specifically I think there’s a dbus interface that can be called to switch it. You can find it with QDBusViewer or D-Feet.
I’d imagine XWayland would follow the same since it’s essentially a Wayland client. But if you ran the xmodmap under xwayland, that may have inverted it in xwayland, and it’s already inverted in KWin which would double invert it aka put it back to default.
Otherwise doing it at the evdev level will definitely work. It’s a bit of a nuclear option but if it works…
im honestly wondering why there are ai images in this article? they don’t contribute anything id prefer screenshots instead to actually see relevant stuff - like with the line about garuda’s ui. otherwise a pretty ok article
Off topic. Can I suggest you to also explore Jellyfin instead of Plex? Just give it a shot before you pay to Plex folks is all I am asking. Use whichever you find better.
I don’t mind suggestions at all, is there a reason to prefer one over the other? Is there Plex controversy? I just went with it because I had a buddy who used it years ago and I remember it being effective
Jellyfin is free and open source. To me that’s always the preferred option. Plus, it works very nicely. Haven’t used Plex in a very long time but when I tried it, I didn’t like it.
Yes, at the beginning of the pandemic it was discovered that Plex Inc had been tracking, reporting home, and selling user watching habits to advertisers. Basically the exact thing many Plex users were trying to get away from.
This inspired many developers (who were otherwise stuck at home due to said pandemic) to fork Emby and thus Jellyfin was born.
While remote authentication is the default, you can configure Plex to not require any sort of auth at all for local users. That’s how mine is setup, and we can watch content around the house even when our ISP is offline.
I also don’t get ads or anything else pushing other content - I only ever see my own. You just have to not show those things in the sidebar. So again, the defaults can be changed.
Definitely worth trying Jellyfin if it works for a particular case. I’ve tried Jellyfin, Emby, and Plex - but only found the latter to be reliable enough for OTA DVR via an HDHomeRun which is our primary use case.
Profiles work fine, but you might have to set things up initially with working Internet. No idea about watch lists or parental controls though - we don’t use them.
I really like the idea of COSMIC apps and rust powered cross platform dev tools. But I think that the design language of COSMIC so far still needs some polish, so far it seems like there is so much white space, like they’re afraid to show more information on one screen. :(. Also not a fan of rounded corners. I hope this changes soon after it matures a bit.
I don’t think you can say that because we haven’t published our design language yet. Only a handful of design mockups have been published so far. The screenshots here are not design mockups but a work in progress implementation. Hence the “In-progress” part of the title.
Rounded corners are a user preference in the Appearance page in COSMIC Settings.
