Brave is (or at least, was) a good browser technically (as good as any Chromium implementation), at least while it still has the ability to turn off their crypto crap, the proxy/vpn integration and run a “clean” version, but I highly doubt those options will remain forever the way their wankbag of a CEO seems to want to go with it, he can not be trusted.

So no I cant say I trust them anymore, they will make money from you, in increasingly devious ways.

There are many, many better “Clean” browsers out there like Librewolf that are a better way to go.

I’ve been daily driving a Fold3 since launch and while I love it and it’s the right device for me, I highly doubt they will ever catch on as the mainstream choice, regardless of display/form factor advancements.

I was the guy that carried a phone and a tablet basically everywhere for years, then used a Note9 for years which wasn’t quite big enough to replace the tablet so I went all in on the Fold3 after a couple of generations of working out he kinks with the Fold 1 and 2.

Now I’m stuck buying expensive folding phones for the rest of time because I don’t think I can ever go back to a flat device.

Proxmox HDMI output for one VM-container

Hi everyone, I’m planning to experiment with my first home server (jellyfin,nextcloud,bitwarden etc) running on a “old” Thinkcentre i5-7th.

Yes and quite simple if your equipment supports it, the other VMS will not have access to the GPU if you do that.

a direct adaptation of Foundation would never have worked, I’ve been enjoying the show but I’m not fully sold on how they’re doing it. I think they are going too hard into ideas only introduced in the later books (written decades after the main trilogy) that changed certain characters, making those later revelations too obvious and damaging the characters somewhat by doing it, but that’s just me having read the expanded asimoverse books recently, mostly it’s been fun.

What I would love to see is more isolated original stories in the foundation/empire/robots universe, it feels like an untapped treasure in that regard.

Australia, 1000 down but only 50 up, AUD$140 per month, there are slightly cheaper plans available but the guys i’m with are super good to deal with.

I was on 100/40 FTTN (but getting full speed due to a good line, lucky me) and earlier this year I took up the free upgrade to FTTP, went super smoothly and the install was even done neatly.

Currently just NZBGeek and NZBPlanet, I also get a fair bit of content from animetosho’s free usenet index.

That NZBPlanet one is an API key I happened across on an unsecured sonarr instance I found in a random google search ages ago, sonarr and radarr used to put all of your details in obfuscated plaintext so you could just right click the obfuscated passwords and api keys and see what they were in the search google for “2f34fw” entry, that was fixed in more modern versions. Secure your shit guys. Pirates will pirate your piracy sources. if they update their keys I’ll lose it, but they seem really good so i’ll just pay for it if that happens.

the google TV is probably your best bet without either breaking the budget or buying questionable off-brand android boxes (many of which have been fount to have malware included)

You can indeed add a usb-c ethernet adaptor if you have a pass through power USB-C hub/breakout, or the simple solution is to buy the official chromecast ethernet adaptor that is integrated into the power supply. they are available from Google directly, or compatible knock offs are on amazon.

Total cost of that rig of dongles and adaptors is still significantly less than an NVIDIA Shield, even the basic tube model.

yea they don’t mask your purchases, though it would be nice for that to be a more easily available service.

I do like that my banks app automatically categorises things based on those descriptions so I can get analytics on my own purchases to keep track of spending, but sometimes you just want to mask a purchase without having to go through something like PayPal.

Permutation City (1994) - Greg Egan (lemmy.world)

I had no idea what I was getting into when I started this book, but it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. In general I like hard scifi that goes as in-depth as possible about the fictional science. I think this book kind of took that concept to the next level. There are still characters in this book, but I think it...

I’ve read the orthogonal books as well as perihelion summer and a few other shorts but didn’t get around to diaspora and permutation city, which many consider his best. They’re on my to do list.

He’s not great at character and relationship but he has some of the best ideas and worlds.

I recommend his website, he goes deep into the math and physics of his worlds, great read for any physics nerds put there.

You can use a kindle with non-drm ebooks without any major work, jailbreak and root not required, just drop them into the right folder on the device via USB, if they aren’t supported then Calibre can convert them.

OR look at any of the dozens of non-kindle e-readers out there that are more open, Personally I have an Onyx Boox Note3, it’s a bit older now but works beautifully for all formats of text, comics, manga, and as a general android tablet.

Intel and ASUS Agree to Term Sheet to Take Intel NUC Systems Product Line Forward (www.intel.com)

Hot on the heels of last week’s announcement that Intel would end their NUC line, Intel and ASUS have struck a non-exclusive deal that will see ASUS assume manufacturing, sales, and support of 10th to 13th Gen NUCs. ASUS will also be able to develop future NUC designs; all under a new business unit called ASUS NUC BU.

It appeared on my server in 1080p (8gb) and 2160p (28gb DV HDR) a couple of hours ago via Usenet.

Definitely a proper release and will trickle through to public trackers soon.

Just checked, there is a public copy on 1337 that is already about 12 hours old but it’s much smaller file size.

Faceman2K23,

Definately a network issue in this case.

2mbit sounds suspiciously like it is falling back onto the relay service, which means plex cant communicate through it’s normal ports.

If you are trying to play on local devices on your home network, this means there is no route to the server other than via the WAN, that is a router issue too in most cases, but can be caused by an authorisation issue.

Perhaps you can also try adding your local LAN (and any other subnets you have players on) to the “allow connections without auth” box in the network settings on the server. you can add individual IPs, or ranges like 192.168.10.0/24 for example.

Faceman2K23,
@Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Docker Bridge networks usually have their ports mapped through to your main network so unless it is very misconfiguration that is not where the issue is likely to be.

I’d look in your router settings for client isolation perhaps. Can a computer on your network ping another device?

Also if you haven’t already, install tautulli which will give you more detail about what is being played, how and why it is transcoding, and perhaps the problem can be identified there.

You can get by with just the tachiyomi app on it’s own as it has multiple sources built in, but I run FMD to automatically scrape for series I follow, that downloads them, compresses them with jpg if needed, packages them into a standard CBZ file, cleans up the filenames then those files are picked up by Komga for management and metadata, which does have a web reader that works fine (and if you use it on multiple devices it keeps track of where you are up to in a series), but also can be connected to Tachiyomi to read from, though you lose the cross device tracking if you use a third party app.

Faceman2K23,
@Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

It’s good to learn, because it will become more common as time moves on, particularly if you get into the datacenter/cloud/ISP industry. It’s less important for the general home user, but it is important to understand how it works and how to use it safely.

Just treating it like IPV4 with more address space is dangerous though. you need to think differently about security and firewalls as it is as if every device has its own dedicated WAN address and could be open to the internet without you knowing.

I get a fat /48 network, just in case I need one septillion, two hundred and eight sextillion, nine hundred and twenty-five quintillion, eight hundred and nineteen quadrillion, six hundred and fourteen trillion, six hundred and twenty-nine billion, one hundred and seventy-four million, seven hundred and six thousand and one hundred and seventy-six individual IPs.

IPV6 is pretty wild, we could effectively give every service connecting to every client, in every direction, for every single individual bit its own dedicated address without getting anywhere near using that address space.

I have a near constant stream of currently airing TV shows and basically every semi popular movie coming through in both 1080p and 4K where available, with old files being upgraded as they come available, so I tend to average 100-200gb per day of Usenet traffic. My torrent traffic is tiny, maybe 50gb per month.

The HA Nodered add-on works very well, make sure you install the Nodered companion from HACS if you want full functionality though, especially if you use the HA dashboard, it makes adding custom buttons and sensors that are backed with Nodered super easy.

I use it to manually implement controls and feedback for devices that have no official integration, or have poor integrations. You can do a lot with the simple modules and visual coding, but the real power comes with the function nodes where you can write your own code and make it as complex as you need.

I dont need a fancy UI for jackett since it’s only needed for the API.

Prowlarr does have the ability to do a search of all indexers including usenet, combined into one results list, which is very nice for finding rare or niche things outside of Sonarr/Radarr.

So I have both installed and configured, but only ever use prowlarr for manual searches cause jackett is working and i’m too lazy to change all my settings in my 6 separate ARR instances.

no it’s not an upscale or anything like that, you’re just making the file bigger but the audio bits/samples are 100% identical to the already damaged source file from youtube.

Of course they do, no matter how good the physical camera and lenses get (and they have improved a lot in the last 10 years) you still cant fight physics, the size of the parts in a phone camera mean you are always working near, or well past the diffraction limit so there is a physical limit on the detail they can render, no matter how many megapixel you throw at it…

The average phone buyer doesn’t give a shit how much AI enhancement is going on in their photos, if on average their photos look better, they will buy it regardless of whether it’s “real” or not. honestly this isn’t really much different to any photo you take on a modern phone, they already use AI enhancement for texture recovery, sharpening, face and subject detection, “cosmetic smoothing”, etc… etc… etc…

They do say they are using AI enhancement so they aren’t really lying… at least not in the legal sense. People that actually want to take photos of the moon will still use real cameras.
