$20 Walmart Onn 4k. Degoogle it if you want or just slap smarttube and jellyfin/plex on it.

If you’re leaving Plex because it’s subscribeware, Emby is also subscribeware.

And now, that feature costs $240. Suddenly, jumping through hoops to configure Jellyfin’s external SSO plugin becomes a lot more rewarding.

it’s Element/Matrix if we’re lucky. Revolt is just another Discord - surely this single company will last! With Element/Matrix being an open protocol, it won’t be a “platform” you have to leave when it goes corporate.

On iOS your option is Safari and that’s what you’ve been using, even if the icon says Firefox or Chrome or Brave. It’s against Apple store TOS to have a web browser with an engine in it - they all have to be skins for Safari (Webkit). Different “iOS Browsers” will offer features on top of the Safari that actually does the browsing though, like account sync or built-in ad filtering.

The only platforms out there that are more hostile to open source software than iOS are like, game consoles.

Any downstream fork of Firefox. All the good of Firefox and Gecko (including addons), none of the Mozilla corporation. The most popular ones seem to be Waterfox and Floorp (for “most users”) and LibreWolf for privacy diehards.

You can copy your Firefox profile folder directly into a fork’s profile folder and have everything exactly as you left it (though doing this to Librewolf will likely overwrite some of Librewolf’s privacy-first default settings like purging history every time the browser closes)

On iOS you are already stuck with every browser being a Safari+Webkit skin. Even Chrome “Isn’t chromium” on iphones. But mobile iOS “Firefox” can still use Mozilla (or self-hosted) sync to desktop Waterfox (etc).

Okay but nobody in this thread criticized Ladybird for being incomplete. It was only mentioned by someone who dropped Firefox for Librewolf as something on their radar to maybe switch to in the future when it’s complete. If someone wants to swap browsers right now, Ladybird is not a reasonable consideration, but people are keeping it in the conversation as something to follow in the future.

The thing is, I don’t want Mozilla to be “really this shouldn’t be called selling” my info either. This was my call to jump ship to a fork that doesn’t give any data to Mozilla in the first place by adopting a downstream fork.

I probably already wasn’t giving Mozilla any data to “not sell” in the first place, since I’ve got telemetry disabled and used about:config to strip out all of their non-browsing functions. But why trust a “probably” that also inevitably needs more attention when they roll in some AI assistant nonsense I don’t want (or whatever) when I can just find a fork of their FOSS product that’s run by people that don’t want my data in the first place?

All my video media that’s easier to replace than preserve is on my NAS running openmediavault with mergerfs. If I lose a drive I can always just, you know, torrent the tv show again.

My main PC (everything except the Steam game install directory) is backed up through KopiaUI to a folder on that mergerfs array that contains media that’s difficult/impossible to replace. Daily incremental backups.

That folder is mounted on my PC through DOKAN, which tells Windows OS that it’s a local resource (it does this more thoroughly than just assigning a drive letter to a NAS folder through Windows’ built-in system). The PC, including the “sensitive NAS media” folder, is then backed up to Backblaze’s personal backup service ($99/yr, unlimited size with one-year versioning). The DOKAN step is required for this, since Backblaze doesn’t support mounted NAS drives or non-Windows systems (presumably they don’t want to use space on versioned encrypted backups of hundred-terabyte pirate movie collections).

Oh, and my phone does one-way Syncthing to my PC, thus putting its files on the PC for Kopia and Backblaze to do their thing.

Reddit was like that for ages before they implemented i.redd.it and v.redd.it. it’s the whole reason Imgur even exists, Reddit wouldn’t let you “upload an image” and would only aggregate comments and upvotes for links to external content.

That said, this Plebbit project raises more red flags than a Danish standing army.

I thought RAID1 enabled faster reads too, because both drives have the complete file. Writes don’t get a speed bump ofc, since those are still bottlenecked by the slowest single drive in the array

Check that your client is whitelisted by the tracker. Some trackers wait to approve the newest versions of qBittorrent.

I don’t run anything on the server because I don’t need to. I have my home server mounted as a network drive in Windows, so I just point Kopia’s database at a folder in there. It’s stored as an encrypted backup, and I’ve got the config for Kopia backed up in a few places (and the encryption key as well) so if the worst case scenario happens to my PC I’ll just reinstall Kopia on a fresh windows install + HDD, restore the config from the backup, then restore the backup.

I also have a backup target to an older 8TB drive that I leave with a friend and update whenever he visits for extra safety, if my whole apartment with my PC and server burns down I’ll at least be able to have an outdated snapshot and lose only a month or so instead of decades.

KopiaUI is fantastic and easy to use. I used to run Duplicati but it had database issues that kept coming up and forcing a sixty-hour rebuild process every couple weeks and I wasn’t happy with the idea of my PC potentially failing during one of those six days per month.

Child sexual abuse material - underage porn. For obvious reasons, you don’t want this to be something you’re hosting automatically out of your basement server.

Isn’t using an alternate discord client bannable under Discord TOS?

If peer tube has lag and doesn’t support high definition / multiple resolutions per video, it’ll never get enough popularity that storage / bandwidth become issues.

If funding enters the picture, capitalism means that it’ll eventually shift towards profit (or in some cases “not operating at a severe loss”). Something based on BitTorrent might be one of the only capitalism-proof solutions for handling video, but that of course has its own problems (most people that create video content like to be able to delete it, for example)
