I remember some time ago someone on here had created a site that allowed you to sign up for a time slot to DJ from their site with your own playlist. People could also write in to the DJ currently on and request songs as well.
There is also Funkwhale that allows you to share your collection and listen to others that choose to share as well.
A Zero would probably be way underpowered for the job. I’ve used a Pi 4 in the past and it worked ok, but choked occasionally.
My actual recommendation would be a small x86 box, something like a Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny. You can get them used for about the price of a Pi, and they’ll be much more reliable.
Whoa, I’ve never heard of this as an option. I watch YouTube on my PS5 and the ads are insane. How hard is this to set up and use? Would I just find smarttube somewhere online on my computer and then send it to the onn box via USB into the apps folder or something?
It runs Android TV, so you just need to get the APK onto your TV. You can download a file manager from the Play store (I use X-Plore) and use that to install the APK from via USB. Alternatively, you could download a web browser from the Play store (I use TV Bro) and download the APK directly on the TV.
Haven’t played Gostwire Tokyo, so I’m not sure exactly how it plays, but you might also enjoy the Witcher 3 and Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor/War. They both have good combat systems and skill trees (although they work quite differently), as well as an open explorable world. I’ve played Shadow of Mordor (Steam version), so I know that works fine on Linux
Shadow of War is so good. I put 80 hours into it years ago. I’ve been thinking about redownloading it again. Combat system is satisfying, movement system is satisfying. Everything is satisfying.
I’ve had this happen a couple times, and contacting the seller directly has gotten it sorted out. Even if they seem sketchy, they don’t want to take a hit to their reputation. If they don’t want to help, I’d escalate to eBay support.
If neither of them work out, then I’d try contacting WD. A refurb with no warranty is better than nothing at that point.
I hope there’s some great answers for you.
I have a massive collaboration playlist on Spotify, but that’s not private at all. YouTube is actually a good place to find mixs and playlists too. But those aren’t collaborative.
I’m not exactly sure what you mean by exploration but DayZ works on Linux. It’s an open world zombie survival multiplayer game with a massive map. I have 650 hours on this game and there are still probably few towns I haven’t ever visited.
This sounds cool. I did use the world exploration in the broad sense instead of a specific genre because I am truly interested in experiencing an interesting world,no matter to me right now if it is a survival game, or horror, or walking simulator… Thanks for the reccomendation this sounds great honestly. will need to check it.
People jokingly call DayZ a hiking simulator because it includes so much running in the woods between towns. It truly is one of a kind of game. I haven’t ever played anything else like it. The learning curve is steep though and I recommend watching few tutorials as trying to survive as a new player will be brutal. There will be alot of starving to death and dying to infections and diseases. Best would be teaming up with a more experienced player but trying to find ones that are friendly can be tricky.
But it doesn’t function flawlessly, at least not yet. I know of one pretty big online networking bug that affects me – You currently cannot connect directly to a password-ed server (by IP), it won’t prompt for the password and it simply denies entry. And since the multiplayer server browser is pure garbage, you can’t even properly search for the password-ed server because the search only filters the current page you’re on, and even pagination is flat broke.
This game has a lot to get fixed. This is my major hit list that I’d like to see fixed/enhanced:
Fix it so a client can directly connect to a server that requires a password without having to use the server browser
Fix the server browser so pagination works properly
Fix the server browser so keyword searching actually filters across all registered servers, not just the currently-loaded page
Fix the server so when purposefully not registering as a public server, it doesn’t show in the server list (my private server is not supposed to be listed, but I had a random stranger connect…and since I cannot password the server yet due to the bug listed above, they got on and built stuff before I could kick them – and I cannot destroy anything they made)
Enhance it so an admin can destroy all content irrespective of guild
Fix the in-game chat so it actually scrolls properly and can be user-scrolled up and down
Fix the pal AI and pathing, it’s atrocious
Enhance it so you can dedicate a specific pal to a specific job
Fix it so party pals will properly attack incoming raids outside of the base circle
Enhance it so storage bins can be labeled (without having to use signs)
Enhance it so if there is a security code on a door or storage box, it doesn’t allow other guild members access without knowing the security code (this would require a level of ownership to each crafted item)
Enhance it so stacks can be divided by an arbitrary user-defined number instead of only by half
Enhance it so signs can be placed on foundation pieces
Fix it so pals that fight intruders cannot destroy buildings and other crafted/placed items
Fix it so wooden “security” walls are are not so easily destroyed by a simple pal invader
Fix it so other pals and players cannot become invisible
Fix it so in-dungeon bosses cannot use an ability that would place them outside the arena, thus requiring restarting the fight (in other words, fix the collision detection so properly bound the boss to the arena)
Completely new to (just started looking into using) Linux. Steam Deck runs on Linux, so why is it so difficult to play games on Linux? I understand a lot of people probably don’t want to use Steam for one reason or another (pirating, access to games not available on Steam, etc.), but for those that aren’t anti-Steam, what gives?
If you’re concerned about privacy, you could build your own NAS. It’s more work, but also more powerful for the money. Wolfgang’s Channel on YouTube has quite a few videos about low power diy home server.
Well it definitely checks for updates, and it has services for finding nas for dummies that use outside communications. My router policy doesn’t allow it to talk to the outside, but certain docker containers hosted on the nas can access internet via raspberry pi proxy
Occasionally I let it update then close it off again.
I use unraid with 5x8TB drives, 1tb ssd as a cache drive for new transfers (writing to an ssd is faster, it then moves to the array after) 500GB NVME drive for appdata and applications and a 250GB ssd for VMs and ISOs
Ita easy to do in unraid, you set it up per share, so say you have a “media” share you can change the settings to include a cache drive and then set it to write to the cache drive first and then more to array. If you don’t have a cache drive or want to add a other you can do that by installing the ssd, booting up, stopping the array and adding in a new cache drive (you can add it to your existing cache pool to increase its size or create a new one and keep them separate for separate uses)
I think most people who have a large collection of movies have a NAS to store everything. I built mine with leftover PC parts after upgrading my main PC. Started by just throwing some extra hard drives into my old case, then incrementally upgraded it with used server parts from ebay, bigger hard drives, etc.
You’ll typically want to use something like Plex or Jellyfin to serve the movies to whatever devices you’re watching on. Then you’ll get into docker and the Radarr/Sonarr/*arr stack…

If you’re not comfortable with Linux and just want something configurable via a WebUI, OpenMediaVault is a good starting point.
