This is the nicest way someone’s put it. I’ve tried to switch to Linux three or four times but until there is a distro that makes it plug and play like Windows or mac its going to be a tough sell. I consider myself tech savvy enough (I can google things, and for goodness sake at the bare minimum I can cut and paste into the terminal) but the barrier for getting Linux to work is too high right now for a very large part of the population.

I have W10 computer running the arrs and my plex server that I’m going to have to figure out as I can’t get W11 on it.

I want to do it so bad!.. but I think I’ll probably just end up getting a new, used computer that can run W11

I’m a teacher. I’m looking forward to summer vacation starting June 29th where I get to have 66 days off to be with my 3 kids. They’re now at a really fun age and I can’t wait

4 years ago next week marks my mom’s diagnosis and the 10 months that followed. Watching your loved ones go slowly insane and become unable to speak and move in such a short time (she was mid 50s) when they should be healthy changes you. Everything I look at, everything I think about is now looked at under a different lense. And given my age, there just aren’t a lot of people around me who have any idea what it’s like and assume it’s just handling the pain.

Like… no. I’m different now.

Before the reddit api, I used to read around 24-28 books a year depending on length (Sanderson’s tomes will always change that number because it’s like reading 2 or 3 regular books)

Last year I hit 35. I didn’t really read books over 1000 pages much last year but I definitely know I’m reaching for a book when I would normally doomscroll reddit.

Thank you. I am seriously considering this instead as I think I minimum spend around $40usd buying 4tb blocks on sale. If I forget to grab during a sale, that bumps to $45 per tb

I’m kinda over this conversation. I posted asking for input, not someone being argumentative. If you had a stronger argument, maybe I’d change my ways and look into what you’re saying. I politely tried to say I hear you, but I’m good with what I do and you keep digging. At no point have you said anything that makes a strong case, helpful to what I asked or isn’t dismissive. Have a good night

I imagine it must be nice living in a place where your government doesn’t care. Enjoy your free torrents. I’m ok with a few bucks here and there

I’ll answer this one.

I tried it years ago, ran into issues. Posted on reddit, bunch of snobby assholes just shit on me for not being as tech literate

Two: I use Chromecasts on everything and there’s no Chromecast app.

I’d overlook number 1 because I don’t get that feeling here on lemmy. But I definitely need a Chromecast solution

I used to pay for a VPN and torrent everything but I’ll be honest, $ for $ it costs the same or less AND there is way more selection. I’m ok to pay a little for a better service. I don’t have to figure out what’s streaming on what and I get high quality tv and movies for pennies on the dollar. Even if I went the “free” route I still have to pay for a vpn

Are there any drawbacks to h. 265?

I mostly watch Plex on my home network, however I use a Chromecast to watch Plex remote from my location with slow internet. Would this be an issue? Would it make the experience better?

I’m running two external tens and I just bought an 18. I’d love to save some space and I’ll have to buy a drive for a long time.

This looks cool!

Unfortunately I don’t know anything about Python or docker… Thanks for the link, maybe I’ll try and figure this out on my next holiday.

Hmmm… Maybe I’ll have to try this on my next holiday or long weekend and play around with it

So right now, I have Radarr and Sonarr automate everything to plex.

Is there a way, I can automate:

I add to Spotify playlist (I would keep Spotify free as it is good at finding things for me)

Something detects it

Something downloads it

It shows up in PlexAmp

Ive been paying for Spotify premium because I need it for my job and I don’t want to spend a ton of time tweaking and naming things. I’d rather use PlexAmp and stop paying if possible but I’d like it to be easy (with a little work here and there) like my arr+plex setup.

Am I asking for something that doesn’t exist?

Just discovered this last night. I will never go back to the bloat that is the Chromecast launcher. Holy fuck is this so much better.

Plus, allowing it in accessibility options

Thanks! I needed to go back to the accessibility settings 👍🏻

You

Have made my day, most likely my week. Ads aside, I friggin HATE the Chromecast UI

Now, let’s pretend that I’m 5 yrs old. How do I get this to. Be the default launcher? I’ve already combed through the settings options and can’t seem to figure it out…

• Late Night with Seth Meyers
• Last Week Tonight With John Oliver
• The Daily Show

I usually watch monologue / opening segments and pass out during the boring guest interviews.

Should probably make an effort to know so many as a Canadian but only know the one conversion

Teacher here… band teacher here. Where… you know, you don’t want food and shit getting in the instruments.

If a kid did this, I’d die. Way to go man, hand out some cashews. Sometimes you have to reward the commitment to the bit.

I always joke when kids are late ( holding food evidence that is why theyre late) that if they didn’t bring enough for everyone, then they’d better bring some for me. Well, egg on my face. One day a kid showed up with a shamrock shake for me. “welcome back” was all I could say 😂
