I'm running it decently on a Raspberry Pi 4B. No less latency than a commercial cloud solution like OneDrive in my experience. Could be faster, though.

I just use dietpi's configuration lol

I moved from a 1080p monitor to a 1440p one for my main display and it's actually really worthwhile. Not only is your daily computing sharper, but multitasking becomes easier because smaller windows are still legible.

IMO it's a lot easier on the eyes when things are sharper, too.

1080p is still more than enough, but I think 1440p is worth it for a screen you're using for hours every day :)

I'd keep the physical library around and just digitize as and when she asks for specific stuff. You'll probably never back up half the library. That or stick it on a HDD out of the way and transfer the few she wants, then tuck the drive in a draw forever in case she wants something else.

Jellyfin must have a feature like Plex where certain user accounts can have certain libraries attached? You could use that to avoid having to look at those crappy movies in your library.

I don't really have much of an issue with family recommendations but I do tell them that the space isn't unlimited so if they don't watch something they asked for I'm likely to remove it for something we WILL watch. In your case, you could at least have leverage to get her to narrow down what needs hosting and what doesnt.

If I'm looking up something general, like some actor or tv show, then DDG is perfect. If im troubleshooting some weird software issue then i find it doesnt always list as many results, as if it hasnt indexed as many sites.

DDG at least now means I can search random shit without it suddenly being inserted into my social media algorithms like some kind of psychological torture.

Google used to list sites with backlinks highly, it was their first ever search algorithm iirc. Once people learned you could game that by planting useless backlinks, Google realised it was a bad idea.

Somehow, they've reinvented this all over again with parasite SEO that fundamentally works the same way. All they did was add some "domain ranking". Now, unreliable-but-popular sites coughredditcough will always score highly regardless of quality, because Google deemed them superior.

Yup agreed.

China, like the US, hasn't got the means nor the motive to track billions of people abroad; they both have a hard enough time keeping tabs on people domestically despite years of expanding their respective police states.

Of course there's always the propaganda and soft power stuff but again, every single state is doing this, but the insinuation is that Europe or the anglosphere in general are the only propaganda-free places on Earth!

Willing to bet money this was posted on hardware that actually does have backdoors to some 3 letter agency in the US, to much more personal consequence than any metaphorical Chinese government spyware

With reddit getting worse, these kinds of vapid "i only post snark about [insert US designated enemy]" users are gonna be all the more common.

that's good, surprising though because technically it's not their policy

if it had a lifetime license I wouldnt actually mind paying!

im sure there isnt a malicious reason why many fingerprint reader drivers are proprietary

It's no accident that many of these games are releasing their anti-features only after millions have purchased them and missed their return window.

EA did the same recently with Kernel anti-cheat in games they haven't serviced in years, games that actively cannibalise their latest titles!

Less players means less server running costs. Helldivers 2 might turn back or end up with this disastrous policy (for consumers) but until we have regulations on this, many companies will see the benefit of rugpulling software.

finally. cant wait to receive dozens of P U S S Y I N B I O messages

So instead of one dumb guy founding Tesla and running it into the ground, TWO dumb guys gave everything over to another dumb guy to run it into the ground. Masterful gambit !

i like the very subtle bend in it. Just a tiny bit so you know it's about to give in at any moment.

The end goal of wayland is that you shouldn't ever have to know what it is.

When you leave reddit, a corporatised and astroturfed bot farm you're gonna get less liberal and right wing stuff that only existed to make money or exert political influence.

If you're really upset by it you can filter lemmy.ml which is gonna be the main source of left wing posting.

I've been using wayland on my laptop somce the new year and beyond some driver issues that were purely on AMD's side (and not entirely Wayland exclusive either) I've had no problems.

Stuff like application scaling works so much nicer on Wayland, and X11 just wasn't very stable when handling fullscreen games to the point where I'd set games to borderless or even windowed mode to stop it crapping out on alt-tab
