I kinda hate to agree with the other suggestions here, but entry level and even dedicated NAS products are pretty expensive for providing something you can very easily DIY for significantly cheaper even with the latest hardware.

Was in a similar boat and just ended up taking an old HP desktop and added some cheap HDDs. I ended up playing around with proper Fedora for some LVM cache tricks and running some other services, but the common suggestion for this is SnapRAID and Nextcloud.

Went to through the entire effort of making an arr pirate ship only to realize there is jack to watch, and I would rather just spend $12 to see a movie in theater once a year, since that’s about all I ever see something new worth watching.

As usual the most useful thing that has come out of it is just getting easy access to old and foreign media which otherwise impossible to access online anyway, so now my career of sailing the high seas turned into yet another media archive collection.

The real crime here is people paying cash money to see this slop in theater. I mean I guess $12-15 is not that much, but why not use that for a different movie or even a better form of entertainment? I feel like people settle for mediocre value way too much, or find it valuable enough despite some genuinely excellent alternatives to choose from.

Literally anything, logical or not.

Reddit bans you even if you make a blank comment lol.

Forgot the “Thinks his skills at hitting 100m targets will allow him to fight the government in a civil war situation”

Finally the stupid floating jet engine looking turbines from Big Hero 6, except IRL they actually look good.

Would that make Bart Nite Owl lol?

D by far has the widest available palette, it includes the silk road which is the thing that fueled C, B, and E.

Right? Couldn’t pay me to use Disney. Even Netflix I only liked during the DVD era. Streaming selection was always crap with maybe 1 actual show or movie you wanted to see.

Yeah but uncensored brainrot is still better than propaganda brainrot.

One of the reasons tiktok became so popular is that it didn’t go around banning entire swaths of content under the guise of “healthy content” like Facebook (Insta), X, and Reddit do.

This isn’t even a Trump issue specifically, Biden wanted TIkTok to do the same. Either follow policy demands or sell to an American owner.

Are there even any dumb TVs anymore? The current lineup from CES 2025 is LG (OLED), Samsung (OLED), and TCL (MiniLED) which have great image quality options, but I’m fairly sure all are using a “smart” platform.

TCL doesn’t bother with software and uses Google TV. Samsung uses Tizen which is linux with another junk UI, though less painful than Google. LG uses webOS which I’ve heard UI side is better, but its still a junk UI on linux.

There’s more *arr tools that aren’t aggregator automation tools than there are aggregator automation tools.

Also It was only funny when using an existing words like "sonar, “radar”, “lidar”. Jellyseerr is dumb, even Jackett was pushing it.

I guess it makes it somewhat easier to associate them as part of a group of software, but now we have stuff like Homarr that is entirely unrelated, but still a useful tool.

KDE gestures?

I know they reworked it completely a couple of years ago, but I’m an insane person who uses XFCE in touch mode so I wouldn’t know lol.

Pakistani?

Proxmox or even just lazy old KVM GUI for anything that needs to be deployed manually in a VM (Home Assistant, WIndows VM, etc.). Otherwise you can even just spin up whatever manual service you want to run on an LXC container or bare metal host with the correct security settings with systemd and selinux if you want to be extra careful.

Docker/Podman (the superior one lol) is just an automated deployment system in container form (like Ansible). It great for automated deployment without having to manually configure the installation process and worry about upgrades, changes, etc. You can even easily create your own images on the fly just for the purpose of having it run a single service inside a container.

Proxmox equivalent would be like using Terraform/OpenTofu to deploy VMs to do the same thing. Its possible, but just not that common because of the reduced overhead with containers, and well supported deployment images with docker/podman specifically.

Generally speaking, I’ve seen proxmox used more in lab environments were you want to emulate something like a complete network of machines whereas docker/podman has become the defacto server deployment platform.

You’re just much more likely to find software with a published docker container and default docker compose script than the same thing in Terraform or even K8s/K3s.

This would be funnier if it were emacs since that’s the one that has a metric ton of plugins for all of these

Not even a new thing either, just much worse now. I know a mod who got banned for making a post about boycotting Israel in his own sub of very obvious anti Israel supporters.

Admin banned <1 hour, wiped his post with almost a hundred comments, and then threatened the other two or three mods to fall in line or face the entire sub getting banned or mod replaced.

About 4 years ago, left reddit shortly afterwards when a similar situation happened to r/dankvideos where the admin team nuked ~6 months worth of posts and banned the mod for not moderating content to their agenda.

Yeah the only environment it seems to fit is the military which sort of makes sense for how often you get smoked long before you ever see combat or even just active duty.

And even then most military people have a cleaned up citizen dictionary for whenever they’re not with their buddies.

Anything outside of that just seems excessive and vulgar for no apparent gain or reason. Even funny and wildly profane comments online don’t use expletives as much as some people do IRL.

There has to be wordplay and emphasis to make it justied (or funny like the gorilla warfare copypasta), otherwise it just comes of the same as ending every single sentence or phrase with “lol”.

Sounds like a rockchip board like orangepi haha. It’s funny because they actually have some killer hardware, but documentation on kernel drivers and DTB boot chain is sketchy at best.

I will pay hard cash money for some devs to bring postmarketos to quality hardware vendors.

I’m all for buying a pinephone, but man are we missing out on the full potential from some genuinely good OEM hardware stuff like razr flip.

Aside from google doing google things, android has been a bloated java pos toy OS for nearly a decade now. It completely wastes the full potential of superior hardware by running everything on a shitty JVM known as the ART that was designed for when devices had <512mb of RAM. A Nintendo 3DS can do better multi process tasking than modern android which regularly kills app threads for no reason other than to screw with you because you dared to switch to a different app for 5 seconds.

Android was supposed to be the big apple killer because of its closeness to a desktop OS with heavy emphasis on widespread features and functionality. Even technically speaking, rooting got you there if you wanted to run whatever straight on the linux environment or swap kernels.

Its nothing but a ripoff iOS clone now. Android 7/8 was probably the peak of development and usability, and even back then people were complaining it didn’t have groundbreaking improvements like 6 or lollipop.

People will use every one of these horrendous messaging subapps but scoff at the idea of downloading signal or even whatsapp.
