Swarfega,

Me either. Not that I’m advocating this BS practice!

Swarfega,

Actually, the OS runs from SD and for mass storage I have a single USB drive. The container’s data is stored on the USB drive along with the docker-compose.yml file. So if I lose the SD it’s just a case of reloading the OS, installing docker and docker-compose. Configuring the disk to mount on boot and then running docker-compose to get back up and running.

Docker data is sent via rsync to a Pi Zero should the USB drive fail. Plex/Jellyfin content I don’t care too much about as they can be “obtained” again 😉

From the first boot it’s only a few lines to get docker installed ready for running containers. Containers are awesome!

Swarfega,

There isn’t a problem. It just consumed more memory than I’d have liked.

I’ve just powered on the container and the system went from 1.75G to 2.47G consumed. This is when it’s idle.

I’ve just stopped the Plex container and memory usage is now 2.40G. Plex is definitely more lightweight in comparison.

Swarfega,

I’ve been running Plex on a Pi 3 and now Pi 4 along with multiple other containers with no real problems. I don’t transcode obviously but have no issues with performance.

I also installed Jellyfin last week to run side by side but ended up uninstalling as even when idle the memory usage went through the roof.

Weird. I’ve been trying to find a distro I’m happy with and was setting Fedora KDE up today. Ran though my bookmarks and found no videos played on Twitch. Had to install codecs to get it to work. I hadn’t seen this in previous distros. Is this specific to Fedora? Other than this hiccup I’ve enjoyed it so far.

I liked how straight forward Linux Mint is but prefer KDE Plasma. Plus Mint seems quite far behind in versions.

Swarfega,

Yeah, I don’t recall seeing that and installed it about four times.

Swarfega,

I started this way today but kept coming up with an error with rsync during install. I tried in Virtual Box and had the same error. I gave up and just installed Fedora in the end.

Swarfega,

Not that I know of

Swarfega,

That’s all I ever see on my wife’s phone in Chrome. Just a smiley face. Personally it bugs the shit out of me. I close any unwanted tabs.

Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I...

Swarfega,

No bloat? Stay away from Samsung then.

Swarfega,

I hate reading the Americans now typing “y’all”.

Swarfega,

That’s typical journalism on ITV and Channel 5. BBC has its moments but it’s not as bad. I simply can’t watch news on these channels for this reason.

PC died. Trying the legal options.

And fuck. I really miss plex. I’ve had Netflix and Hulu forever as family won’t let me cancel. Decided to sign up to Paramount + for some Trek. Twice in lower decks it didn’t save my watched episodes. Doesn’t mark episode as watched if you exit during the credits. And multiple playback issues....

Swarfega,

I read on the Jellyfin site that the Pi5 has no hardware encoders…

jellyfin.org/docs/…/hardware-acceleration

Since I’m only streaming locally (on a Pi4) I don’t need to record anything but still.

Is that confirmed now? It was actually a major reason why I decided against the iphone when upgrading my phone this year.

Swarfega,

You can also enable the easy list for cookies in uBlock Origin. It misses some but for the most part it works.

I’ve ran Pihole for years but switched to NextDNS. It gives me more control over my kids access.
For example scheduled access to YouTube and Roblox. Also, since it’s a public service it means I can block them regardless of network. So for example when we are on holiday. My eldest worked out he could use network data on his phone to avoid the Pihole.

Oh, and it’s DNS over TLS so queries are now encrypted rather than plain text that regular DNS.

None of this will block YouTube ads though. For that I use NewPipe or Firefox and uBlock Origin.

Swarfega,

Why not just :wq

Swarfega,

Can confirm. Used to lick them as a kid

Swarfega,

Duolingo is one hell of a spammy application. I uninstalled it just because it was so noisy.

Swarfega,

I don’t get where OP is going with this either?

Swarfega,

This is the case with bike lanes at times. They gather debris preventing you from using them. It’s frustrating.

Swarfega,

What do you need, our permission or something?

Swarfega,

But who wake them up?

Helping others privacy through self-hosting?

Hello all, I’m relatively new to the realm of self-hosting. Over the past few months, particularly in response to recent events, I’ve been actively advocating for privacy, security, and decentralization. Initially, I began by implementing Nextcloud for my family and friends, and later expanded to include services like...

Swarfega,

The greater good

Swarfega,
