  • Sharing Jellyfin

    Jump

  • I've used it about 2 years now. I have both Jellyfin and even had Invidious for a while. I don't even know it was against any terms until right now.

  • On August 15th, 2025, Steam will officially stop supporting Linux distributions with a version of glibc older than 2.31

    Jump

  • I'm on your side dude, I was saying chucklenuts up above was confused.

  • On August 15th, 2025, Steam will officially stop supporting Linux distributions with a version of glibc older than 2.31

    Jump

  • Dudes not worth my time to look this up for sure, but I'm fairly certain the statement was they'd support any Linux distro.

  • I don't think buddy knows the difference between a Linux version and a Linux distro.

  • FTTH upgrade - getting my LAN multi gig ready

    Jump

  • Well luckily for us all it's not :-)

  • finally got static IP from a new ISP

    Jump

  • Most ISPs (especially smaller ones it seems) just run a basic DHCP server with leases expiring at a set interval. As long as your stuff is on and working when the lease renews, you'll pull the same IP forever.

  • FTTH upgrade - getting my LAN multi gig ready

    Jump

  • Dang. Not the company I was hoping.

    If they're using an eero router, I'm going to assume you'll just have an ethernet cable from an ONT then into the router. Ask the installer if you need to use the eero or can you install your own router. That may alleviate some of your concerns.

    I work for an ISP and self host. I have more things in place to track my usage than any ISP would put just because I make myself the guinea pig for new equipment and want to know exactly what is happening. You will never use a full 8 gig (at least as of now, obviously in the future that will change). If the extra money isn't an issue do it, but if you can "girl math" the $30 price difference, stick with that for a year and spend the extra $360 you saved on multi-gig networking equipment, that's what I'd do.

  • Considering a refurbished Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q for use as a discrete HTPC / SteamLink console. Is this a good idea? Does anyone here have any experience with these?

    Jump

  • Yes please. What is QRD? Don't need much details, just a quick intro.

  • FTTH upgrade - getting my LAN multi gig ready

    Jump

  • Going from 100 Mbps to even a gigabit, if you're self hosting, is going to be a huge difference. If you want my opinion, save yourself some money, go with the lowest speed over a gigabit and gradually buy equipment with the money you'd save compared to the 8 gigabit plan.

    As for the router, can you either send a picture of it from the ISPs website or name the ISP? With 8 gig being the maximum, you're going to be on XGS PON and I have a hunch I know what equipment you're getting, but want to make sure I'm right.

  • Is Linux support still needed nowadays, or is Steam OS good enough?

    Jump

  • Agreed. Targeting handhelds with good controller support and also no DRM (or at the least, Proton friendly) is more important to me as a consumer than a native Linux version.

  • HP hasn't made an OMEN gaming handheld because of Windows, but they are open to making a SteamOS-powered handheld

    Jump

  • Any company that doesn't make everything free is terrible obviously. Never mind the fact that a major company is making an effort to not just use, but improve and support Linux for consumers in a huge way.

    Screw them for not doing more for FOSS software I guess.

  • HP hasn't made an OMEN gaming handheld because of Windows, but they are open to making a SteamOS-powered handheld

    Jump

  • That part came from talking about Valve opening SteamOS up to more than just the Steam Deck or other OEM partner devices.

    Valve will "let you" download an image and slap it on a desktop, laptop, smart toaster, or any other x86 based computer.

  • HP hasn't made an OMEN gaming handheld because of Windows, but they are open to making a SteamOS-powered handheld

    Jump

  • At the very least, the big laptop manufacturers making Linux handhelds means just from a cost cutting and resource perspective, there's a good chance laptop and desktop hardware support improves even further just because they reuse parts across devices.

    Hell, NVIDIA is probably watching this and wishing they'd supported Linux better in the past because now they have some catching up to do.

  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

    Jump

  • I've had Jellyfin and Plex running using the same media directory for a couple years now. I think I had to make a couple small changes for things like seasons of a TV show to show up correctly, but nothing incredibly difficult. Definitely worth setting up and playing with periodically so when you do finally get sick of Plex, you're ready to just switch.

    Only thing I use Plex for exclusively now is when I'm flying, Plex has the Netflix style download option and Jellyfin just downloads the video file. I like Plex's way better just from personal preference.

  • Diplomacy dies on live TV as Trump and Vance gang up to bully Ukraine leader

    Jump

  • Because they went in wanting to find a way to make Zelenskyy seem unreasonable. They have no intention of helping Ukraine at all and now it's going to be because he didn't immediately kiss Trumps feet.

  • Dumb question but if I download a movie from YouTube do I get "that kind message" from my ISP?

    Jump

  • I work for an ISP (smaller, not a nationwide company). We genuinely don't care what you use your internet connection for until we get a legal notice and then we do what's required by law.

  • Amazon Kindle eBook Bulk Downloader: for downloading your Kindle eBooks in a more automated way than is typically permitted, this tool can create backup copies of the books you've already purchased.

    Jump

  • Stopped buying books from Amazon years ago. Still had 120 there from previous purchases. Definitely couldn't just re-buy the books elsewhere.

    This tool got the last of my library moved from Amazon so I DON'T have to buy from them again.

  • New PC build -- which version of Windows 11? LTSC, IoT, ??

    Jump

  • It's the reason I dual boot, really. I periodically check to see if the programs I do want to use that work best on Windows work any better on Linux and it definitely gets better every time I check, but it's just not there 100 percent yet.

    And blaming users for no reason than Microsoft is a terrible corporation and how dare anyone use it is an awful tactic to get people to switch.

    I believe the Steam Deck has done more for running Windows programs on Linux than any other singular project (in terms of mainstream adoption, obviously Wine/Proton is the reason that even works) and they accomplished it by working WITH developers stuck on developing for Windows. Not by just telling those devs how awful they are and if they're looking for a half measure they can take to switch to Linux, they're on the wrong game store or whatever other response they've given.

  • Bookmarked this for myself later. THANK YOU!

    Nice to see someone not just shitting on Windows.

    Nobody WANTS to use Windows, but I also don't want to fiddle with 17 different options and 12 builds of Wine to trick my one program I need to run on Linux.
