  • Plex is discontinuing its “watch together” feature

    Jump

  • I really try to move to Jellyfin, but there's always some papercuts that block me. Tried it last weekend again, and:

    • It just can't find most of my movies in the NAS share. They never appear in the library.
    • The music player cannot play all my files. DSF files are transcoded to AAC. Also finamp streams AAC and not Opus, and uses more data than Plexamp did.

    I also tried Navidrome for music. Weirdly it had hiccups playing some files, and DSF was again a problem.

    I really want to get out from Plex, but I use Plexamp so much and it handles my huge music library really well it's hard to switch :(

  • Phoronix forums are insane

  • I actually went to read older posts one day. They are actually much better compared to the more recent posts. Now it's just trolls and shitposting.

    LWN is where it's at for Linux discussion.

  • My Switch to Linux is Happening Today

  • Have you considered other distros? I've had lots of success with the immutable fedora variants, which offer great stability and NVIDIA drivers in the base system. If you need apt, you create a new Debian container in the box buddy and make that container be your default when opening a terminal.

    Gnome variant: https://projectbluefin.io/

    KDE variant: https://getaurora.dev/

    Gaming variant: https://bazzite.gg/

    They are all the same distro with different desktop setup and default apps. You can install one of them and seamlessly switch to another one without losing any data.

  • Experiences with zfs deduplication?

  • What are your Homelab goals for 2025?

    Jump

  • Yeah... So I'm in Berlin, and in Germany the internet operators finally are building fiber everywhere. The provider who lays the fiber to our street is Deutsche Telekom, and they promise to pay everything: laying the fiber, bringing it to our house and bringing the fiber to every apartment for a two year monopoly on fiber internet after which it's up for competition using their cables. What needs to happen next is our landlord (a Swiss company) and house management company to agree on these guys to come in, put little fiber dividers to every floor and drill a hole to the walls so we get the fiber cable to our apartment.

    Of course this being Germany, they are very slow on agreeing on that, we might need to go to court and for sure we need to talk to our neighbors who own their apartments to push them a bit. I'd expect us to get the connection maybe before end of 2025. But eventually it will happen...

    Jump

  • I am doing exactly the same as what the OP is doing. In addition to that, I will unify my beelink mini PC proxmox server and our old Intel atom NAS into one rack server with AMD EPYC, proxmox and truenas in a VM.

    I sure hope our landlord and the Internet operator can agree on the operator finally bringing fiber cables to all apartments. Then I would have fast enough uplink to my homelab.

  • Lineage OS 22.1 (Android 15) Released

    Jump

  • Graphene only works on Pixel phones. Graphene is more private and secure, but might be too many issues for people who do not care about such things that much. Lineage has better support for different phone models, and you can make it just like a normal Android OS, that just happens to provide updates for your phone years after the manufacturer stops sending them.

    Neither of them is better than the other, it's just about your priorities. Get Graphene if you have a Pixel and you value privacy and are willing to tinker with it a bit if some apps don't work.

  • Linux kernel updated to 64 bit time quite recently. In 2038 I can guarantee somebody in a very serious business is still using an ancient RHEL and will have issues.

  • Y-10K

    Jump

  • And not using 32-bit integers to calculate time. Which is still a thing in many many many codebases written in C or C++...

  • This. I keep following many kinks in the fediverse, but I'm just a quite normie gay cis man myself. It's important to understand how different people are, and be ok with that.

  • YSK that if Americans live outside of the US for more than 330 days a year, they don't have to pay taxes on $125,000 of their income that year

    Jump

  • Depends. For example in Finland the filing is done for you every year by the tax authorities and tax is deducted every month from your salary. Once a year you get either money back or need to pay more if your work situation changes during the year. You can also correct them by saying "hey I paid this bus card" etc. and get money back.

    In Germany it works about the same, except they charge you quite a lot more every month. Here you do not have to file, but if you do you usually get a lot of money back. Filing is more complex than in Finland, so you might want to have a tax advisor to do it for you.

    Jump

  • You still need to file every year. An advisor at least here in Germany can do both countries, but you pay a premium for that.

  • Linux Sys Admins, do you work on Linux or Windows office laptops?

    Jump

  • Not a sysadmin, but a programmer. My work machines have been:

    • 2003-2008 Windows 7
    • 2008-2011 Ubuntu
    • 2011-2019 Arch
    • 2019-2024 NixOS

    Probably going to keep using NixOS. This is a very cool OS.

  • systemd is all you need

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm also one of these people silently enjoying systemd and wayland. Every now and then there's fuzz on one of these. I shrug, and move on still enjoying both of them.

  • It's your first date and she/he asks what type of music you like. What's the guilty pleasure you won't tell her/him about?

  • Steely Dan. The worst part would be I won't stop talking about the drum solo in Aja.
