MATE gang rise up!

Do XP next!

I used to use Kodi, worked really well.

Asked Perplexity, got this back, seems right.

When choosing a Linux distribution for a Home Theater PC (HTPC), several options are tailored for media consumption:

1. LibreELEC: This is a lightweight, fast, and easy-to-use media center distro based on Kodi. It’s designed for dedicated media center PCs and supports various media formats. LibreELEC is simple to set up and runs smoothly on older hardware[5].

2. OSMC: Another Kodi-based distro, OSMC is known for its automatic media library updates and support for remote control devices. It is designed to be lightweight and efficient, making it ideal for media playback[5].

3. OpenELEC: Similar to LibreELEC, OpenELEC is a “just enough operating system” designed for running Kodi. It is suitable for embedding into a media center setup[6].

4. Ubuntu MATE: Although not specifically a media center distro, Ubuntu MATE is user-friendly and can be configured with media center software like Kodi or Plex. It offers flexibility and stability for a media center environment[5].

5. Linux Mint: Known for its ease of use, Linux Mint can also be used as a media center with additional software installations. It provides a full desktop experience with the option to install Kodi[7].

Each of these options provides different levels of customization and ease of use, making them suitable for various HTPC needs.

This is actually a really good idea. 🙏

Someone really needs to justify their job?

Yeah, those have always been tricky to get working right. I just don’t bother.

Literally cloudflare tunnel, sorry my dude.

Not sure how different the cloud one vs self hosted one is. TBH I’d skip self hosting a Kanban board.

I’ve been using NoMachine a lot for remote desktop and it works great! SSH for everything else tho. Never really liked VNC, was always a RDP person.

So glorified help desk folks… Kids these days don’t have a clue how anything actually works…

Same, just use FolderSync to get photos to it. Works like a cham.

I definitely don’t think they are in beta. What type of logs are you trying to get?

Get DataDog if you can afford it. Shit magic. NewRelic is nice too, and cheaper. I used to use GreyLog and it was ok, Loki def was less work to maintain.

Yeah, they are super pro FOSS. TBH no one makes a better IDE than them for professional settings. I wish Adobe did things the way they do them.

Absolutely. Plus if you run a open source project they will give you the whole suite for FREE.

AWS Fargate, amazing, AWS ServerLess,… Da fuk!

What the fuck is a “lamba server less”, and why is my cloud bill so fucked? 🚒 🔥 💰 💸

😵😢😥🤯

LinkedIn is for posting a link to your resume. Unless you own a business or are a sales monkey, it’s a waste of time.

Ah, neat. Been wanting to add all my peeps on Flickr to it. I’m curious how their “magic” option works. Also might be able to do neat stuff w their API.

I’ve looked at other options as well over they years. I just ended up with Inoreader. You get 150 feeds for free and the interface is amazing. Also works with a ton of different apps.
