Or the ever classic: launch one version behind the current Android version. Provide security update once a year and then taut that it’s aon OS update.

Samsung A9+ goes on sale for about $150 every once in a while.

Kids FireHD tablets are generally lower than that. There’s not really any difference between the adult and kids version tbh.

Absolutely. My wife flew to her parent place with our toddler and I dont have any idea on what to watch.

All I’m watching is nursery rhymes since they’re catchy as all hell.

ThinkPad T450s (my old laptop)

OS: Arch Linux DE: Plasma

Services: Arr stack for gluetun, sonarr, radar and jackets Jellyfin for videos Gonic for audio

All 3 of them are run using docker compose

This has the same energy as my spouse yelling at me because jellyfin went down

Not really an open-source approach, but I found that irium Webcam is generally a lot better if you’re just wanting to use your phone as one.

For some reason scrcpy just doesn’t work well for me.

Me too, please!

I don’t think they use an indexable compression as well, right? That essentially kills stuff for me.

The easiest way to host is not TB/PB sized archives but indices and slices for those.

It easier for a lot of us to download a few gigs and share that, rather than download TB/PB sized archives.

Just share the info hash, that should work inplace of the longass links :)

Prequel in spirit or are the events tied in?

If you have to ask the question, then the answer is always NO

Dpending on what you need, there are plugins which can detect intros, change UIs etc

Thank you for an interesting discussion! In particular I like the fact that you listed out a lot of sustainable practices!

Probably if you split tunnel the vpn connection from mullvad to your torrent application and not run the vpn for the entire laptop’s network stack this could be done.

Alternatively, dockerize the entire vpn+torrent (+jellyfin) setup? That way the container gets the vpn but you can still access using your host ip for jellyfin.

Its really good in North America given that it is from Cornell. Gets probably a bird or two wrong out of hundreds

When I’m in India, its a kinda of a swing and a miss, but they’re constantly improving it.

Not necessarily, generally the defaults for most of the tools tend to be sane, but when you have a swiss army knife with dozens of attachments, you’d still need a manual to figure what is what.

Note that many tools use ffmpeg under the hood so users are generally never exposed to the various options. But sometime if they need to, cheatsheets like these are really useful.

Can confirm this works ony S22+

Absolutely! Sometimes its just easier for me to keep jobs in a single list and run them on a big fat node rather than array submit and block half the queue!

Love posts like this, because I can plug a tool that I revently found!

Its called ParaFly and i use it a lot on HPCs. Doesn’t really have a multi-node support, but it also offers logging and resuming of jobs.

So your point 3 is essentially this: ParaFly -c commands.txt -CPU N where N is the number of jobs you want to run in parallel
