I’m so fed up of these cookie popups requiring a few extra clicks to reject, are there any extensions that will automatically opt out or reject additional cookies?
This add-on is built and maintained by workers at Aarhus University in Denmark. We are privacy researchers that got tired of seeing how companies violate the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because the organisations that enforce the GDPR do not have enough resources, we built this add-on to help them out.
I’ve been seeing all these posts about Linux lately, and looking at them, I can honestly see the appeal. I’d love having so much autonomy over the OS I use, and customize it however I like, even having so many options to choose from when it comes to distros. The only thing holding me back, however, is incompatibility issues....
Huh? You need an open port and a TLS certificate, that’s about it. If you’re CG-NATed you need some form of proxy in front, but that’s not Jellyfin’s fault.
It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.
Well I’m just about fed up with streaming bullshit. I currently have a home server that’s just a raspberry pi4 with a bunch of docker containers and it served my light usage well....
Unfortunately I’m not familiar with the US market, but in Europe we have sites like Geizhals (“Skinflint” in the UK) that are excellent at listing electronics, so you could source them for cheap: internal drives, external drives
As for what drives to use: If you don’t need redundancy/parity, then a single 12 (14, 16, 18, whatever you need) TB SATA drive will probably beat everything else pricewise. I’d say that leaves you with roughly $300 for the system itself, if you need to buy a new one.
but doesn’t have any way of adding a bunch of drives
Well, you only really need one or two drives. Are you sure it doesn’t offer any SATA connections?
What about PCIe? You could use a cheap HBA card then.

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it.

Man, I loved that game. It was the last NFS I played, everything after that sucked donkey balls and required an Origin installation.
Any tips on how you got it to run? I have the ElAmigos release and I think I tried it once but didn’t have any success on the Deck.
Also, slowly, their catalogues are removing some tracks due to licensing issues and I’ve already lost 20 songs from my library.
Honestly, this is what will eventually bring me to abandon Spotify. It sucks so hard not being able to listen to that one weird niche song you stumbled upon, but instantly fell in love with. And they never tell you “Hey, our license for this song is running out in six weeks and we won’t renew it. Better listen to it again while it lasts.”.
I wish I could just buy all the songs I favorited on Spotify and not have to deal with any of this absolute nonsense.
At the same time their recommendation engine is extremely good and that’s what makes it hard to abandon Spotify completely for me.
