I did have a weird issue with my printer under nix, turns out it was a bug. I guess 1h time investment is about right.

But that also meant that my Laptop and my GF's PC were a 0 seconds time investment.

I think that's neat :D

"Confused Jellyfin / Subsonic noises"

Nvidia Shield. The bigger one.

Yes, it's a couple of years old at this point, but it's still the best device of its kind.

Not to mention the remote is FANTASTIC.

Because while he dresses it up as scientific theories, he's just spewing unfounded conspiracy theories?

Because this stuff is a conversation starter in the same way that "the moon landing was staged", "the earth is flat" and "chemtrails turn the frogs gay" is?

Because instead of actual scientific education or archeological documentaries, this is the shit that gets funded? Because who knows how many people will now believe that his fanfiction of a theory is a legitimate interpretation of humanity's history?

I'm sorry, I don't mean to come off as condescending, I really don't. But his entire "documentary" is deeply unserious at best, and an outright lie at worst.

And possibly a drinking problem afterwards

That idea is just as ridiculous.

If you want an entertaining, well researched rebuttal from an actual archeologist, check this playlist:

Kimai is a great option

Funniest thing is, this video series ultimately landed him the job as lead UX designer for Musescore, lol

Ohhh I have a feeling you will enjoy this video:

It's about a dofferent piece of software, but still highly relevant.

Inhave the original A5 from Supernote, and while the device still works just fine after 5 years (also I think I never had to change a nib even once), I've grown disillusioned with the company.

It came down to the A5 or the rM2 for me hack then. I liked everything about the A5 better, EXCEPT that the rM2 allowed you to mod it and access it via SSH.

The A5 runs on a slim version of Linux. So I asked Supernote if they'd consider opening SSH for users. And they said "Yes! It's actually in our roadmap for the next release!"

And that's been the answer I've been getting for the past 5 years. The last update for the device was about 3 years ago.

I love that the tablet is running plain Linux, but it suuuuuucks that I can't use it to its full potential because the sync options suck.

And Smarttube Next on the TV/firetv/Android TV.

 

Basically, the title. After years of inactivty, I'll be taking music (cello) lessons again, with my teacher of yesteryear, from whom I've moved half a country away.

She has suggested Zoom but is open to alternatives. I don't particularly like Zoom, plus I have a feeling better quality can be had through a custom solution - but I'm at a bit of a loss as to what exactly would be a good fit for this project.

Maybe Jitsi? Does someone here have experience with it and could tell me if it's possible to set something like a "target" audio quality?

For hardware, I basically have two options. Both are already in use, for different things, and have sufficient processing capabilities - albeit no GPU:

  • host everything at home. Plus: lowest possible latency from me to the server. Not sure how much that is worth though.
  • root server in the Hetzner cloud: much faster network speed. Again though, not sure how beneficial that is, the ultimate bottleneck will always be my upload speed (40Mbit)

OK, I realize that this post is a but of a random assortment of thoughts. I'd be really happy about suggestions and / or hearing about other's experiences with similar use-cases!

Hi,

not sure where else to post this. For a while now, I've unsuccessfully been trying to get WireGuard to work with Crunchyroll.

Setup is as follows:

  • dedicated server hosts a wg-quick instance in [neighboring country]
  • OPNSense acts as peer on a single IP
  • I have a rule for routing the entire traffic of some source device via that IP

This works just fine. Handshake successful, traffic is routed via the server. traceroute shows the server as the hop immediately after my device's local gateway. The connection is stable, and fast.

...except for Crunchyroll. The site / app itself is fine, but I can not, for the life of me, get a video to play. It just keeps loading forever.

I don't think this is an issue with CR recognizing that I'm not where I say I am - looking online, it seems pretty easy to use CR with a VPN. I've also tried from multiple other devices, all with the same symptom.

If anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear them 😅

EDIT: ~~It was MTU. Had to manually set it to 1500 on both devices.~~

Nope, still the same issues. I was using the fallback interface there briefly.
