The idea that Linux is not susceptible to malware is a really dumb take, in my opinion. I work in security and see Linux machines get popped all the time. Also, wine is good enough that malware will run under it.

Gimpydude ,

Telegram is and always has been shitty. WhatsApp is shitty too. Use Signal instead.

Gimpydude ,

This is the correct answer. Both Alice and Bob approve.

Gimpydude ,

For this type of use (larger scale group chat) I would agree. What are the flaws with signal though?

Gimpydude ,

Try getting a used server. You can find one on labgopher. For the budget you have, don't expect something great but it'll be a start.

Gimpydude ,

I get passwords. Why not bookmarks?

Gimpydude ,

Makes sense. Don't cross the streams.

Gimpydude ,

ClamAV is alive and well. Immunet != ClamAV even if that was the engine Immunet used.

Bringing the cancer of the MODERN WEB (TM) to one of the last bastions of the old web (aka the real web!). How Kafkaesque. ( www.youtube.com )

This girl acts like Wikipedia owners don't realize this shit. It's about principles. Modern web is simply cancer that is eating out the planet from the inside, one TCP segment at a time (although with HTTP3 and QUIC we gotta call it a datagram!)....

Gimpydude ,

It's like Ligma but different

Gimpydude ,

You should take a look at getting sas enclosures. They're pretty cheap, like $200 for a 16 bay. That will be so much more reliable.

Gimpydude ,

God-tier shit post. I hope this becomes legendary copypasta.

Gimpydude ,

Yes.

Gimpydude ,

There is. Look at Streamfab (same company) as well as AnyStream. Both are great products.

Gimpydude ,

What do you mean? Just pay a subscription fee. Or am I missing something?

Gimpydude ,

No, just go to one of the websites and subscribe. It's dead simple.

Gimpydude , (edited )

Seriously? I'm subscribed to eweka and news hosting for nntp, as well as nzbgeek and nzbfinder for my indexers. Nzbgeek has a lifetime subscription option. You can get anything you're looking for. It's a simple subscription process.

What are you considering as 'top tier' that won't take a subscription?

Some sites for reference:

Gimpydude ,

Then what are some of them? What are they providing that the others don't?

Gimpydude ,

Fairly accurate except that Wine predates Codeweavers. They do contribute to Wine but Codeweavers did not make Wine.

Gimpydude ,

I mean, I pay for Usenet access.

Gimpydude ,

Look at getting a sas array. They're expandable and hold lots of drives. You can pick one up for around $200

Whisparr is so much better with Postgres for its data back end

I have a library of videos that I’ve downloaded with whisparr running in a docker container. I’ve had a problem with the sqlite DB getting corrupted on a daily basis. I followed the guide on switching to postgres and it only took about 15 minutes, including setting up a postgres server. I really recommend anyone running it...

Gimpydude OP ,

I totally agree. I’ve been using it on and off since the 90’s but I’ve never known that you can use it with the *arr apps.

Gimpydude OP ,

I’m going to move my others to postgres as well. It’s dead simple and so much better.

Gimpydude ,

Not criticizing in any way, but what’s the attraction of IPTV these days? Aside from sports, I just don’t see the attraction. Lots of free sources of live TV out there.

Gimpydude ,

That’s a long read. Here’s what I do

  • Install Lutris or Heroic
  • Install your game
  • Play your game

Fitgirl and steam unlocked are your friends.

Gimpydude ,

Well played my friend!

Gimpydude ,

Yeah, makes sense. I’m an old timer so I’m used to rolling my own. I definitely see how the details are useful for someone starting out.

Gimpydude ,

Personally, I’m not a fan of the Kodi interface. To each their own.

Gimpydude ,

Sure, but the basic mechanics don’t change much and I don’t want to take time with it. I want something that just works the way I like.

Gimpydude ,

Sure, but the thing is Jellyfin and Plex both work pretty close to what I want without having to customize anything. I’m happy for everyone that likes Kodi, it’s just not for me. I’ve used Kodi on and off from back when it only ran on the Xbox as XBMC. I know what it’s capable of. I just don’t want to put that effort into it.

Gimpydude ,

They’re good apps. I recommend getting it if it’s more that a few things you want to download.

Gimpydude ,

Yeah, the UI is a bit clunky. I like Any stream much better, and there is Linux support.
