I like this perspective of yours, and while I don’t think I’ll join you on your instance (I take it this was an open invitation, yes?), I’ll look into ways to hide votes on my client.
Although I do wonder, would you prefer everyone to return to long strings of “+1” and “agreed” posts?
This looks promising, but I can’t get it to work.
Wireguard, even though they explicitly mention it in their tutorials, doesn’t have an allow/block list for me, so I can’t allow the proxy network bridge. Curious those settings are gone. Too bad!
Much obliged.
I agree, it’s a good solution. Just not worth the downsides for my situation currently.
Really? How does that work? Maybe it’s time to look into Tailscale after all…
Thanks for the ideas. I’ll consider it, although my use case doesn’t really warrant carrying a router around.
Thanks for the link. I am on Graphene, and if a fellow poster in here is correct that doesn’t help. Bummer.
No harm in giving it a try, but I personally wouldn’t bother with a selfhosted solution for it. Especially if you’re not sure it will work out.
Well, paint me green and call me a pickle. More power to you if it works. 😊
Tangent, unsolicited:
Music lessons over video call, that has to be a real pain. I can’t find it now, but there’s an Adam Neely video where he talks about why online recording sessions can’t work, as transmission latency works against the immediacy needed to play music together. He said it better than I can.
Except if your idea is to play in turns, but then capturing the thing you want to show… Can’t you find another teacher closer to you?
Installing the Jellyfin add on into kodi takes a few minutes. Nothing much to consider, just try it and see if that changes anything.
I have a similar setup (rpi with OSMC, media hosted on file server) and prefer using Jellyfin as the source for all clients, as it keeps track of watched status across everything. It’s not perfect, but better than without Jellyfin.
Oh boy, 2017 can’t come soon enough!
I think your heart is in the right place, but I wonder how you feel about tools and their quality vs. cost.
There are many easily made arguments to pay extra for quality, as you pay less in the long run, which is an idiom (“cheap tools you always buy twice”) but also very true in most cases. Then what about paying extra for ergonomics, reducing strain on your body and preserving health?
And then there’s the question where the line is between a hammer and a table tennis racquet.
Again, I think your heart is in the right place. There are few things more ridiculous, I feel, than absolute beginners of a sport in full brand gear from head to toe, even the stuff nobody who really practices the sport won’t actually use. But then you’ve been playing table tennis for a few years. How much is your current gear holding you back? True it takes a lot of effort to learn about what you like and need, but it definitely pays off. Why don’t you borrow a racquet from one of the other players once in a while for a match to get a feel for what you like?
This file compresses so well. 🤏
What is this doing in Technology?!
Grindr faces massive fine for “allegedly” “sharing” “sensitive” “user” “data”.
Haven’t seen your laptop, but if it’s anything like mine it’s a very lousy boat.
It’s that, plus “notifications can disrupt your sleep.”
“A much greater issue [than the blue light] is likely to be the content viewed,” says Peirson. “Reading work emails relating to impending deadlines is clearly going to cause anxiety, and anxiety is strongly related to insomnia.”
