Sounds like you’re pretty familiar already! I use OMV for my NAS and have several NFS shares for various services. It’s a solid solution IMO.

It will change. They know they’re gonna have to figure something out about those of us who aren’t paying monthly.

Because some of us bought the lifetime Plex Pass for cheap many years ago and it’s what our family is used to. Plex also passes the “wife test”, and my kids use Plexamp on their phones for music.

Not gonna stop me from ditching Plex in the not-too-distant future though, once I figure out Jellyfin and another local music streaming app that doesn’t have an interface stuck in 1997.

🤞😉

So I already mentioned this in another comment section, but at this point, Ukraine needs to absolutely fuck shit up for Russia despite ceasefire talks. It’s plainly obvious that Putin has zero interest in playing by the rules (lol) and that every one of his “we need peace” talks is in bad faith.

Is that even still used for medical purposes?

Uh, yeah… Very much so. Pretty much every family has a bottle of it hanging around somewhere.

Eric literally said “🤷‍♂️” when asked the same in the r/Pebble AMA today.

First and foremost: Do not expose your host system or the OMV admin interface to the internet. Ever. Doing so is only asking for trouble. Only expose services that have been properly isolated from the rest of the network and host system. Everything else you can access via VPN, or locally.

Secondly: OpenMediaVault beginner’s guide by DB Tech. Him, Craft Computing, Hardware Haven, and a few others whose names currently escape me, are all solid sources for learning how to host things at home.

After OMV, I would start with learning Docker and other containerization methods, and VMs.

Valid points, honestly. I have the iPhone because it’s what work provides me. So I made it work for me. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

My personal device is the Pixel 9 Pro XL, for what it’s worth.

I responded to either one of your comments here, but I can say that FaceID is pretty damn good for what it is, and it will not unlock for any of my coworkers while in a cleanroom. FaceID uses more than just the camera, as it can see through sunglasses.

And FaceID is absolutely atrocious if you wear anything on your face, which I often do, like sunglasses and helmets, or if you’re laid on your face.

About that… I work in a clean room, which means everything except my eyes and nose are completely covered - including wearing safety glasses over my regular glasses. My work phone is an iPhone 12, and in that situation, its FaceID still works most of the time. I can’t say the same about my Pixel 9 Pro XL, as its face recognition needs the entire face.

But I digress…

I’m pretty sure that most recently Ukraine has been hammering Putin’s oil production ability, so Putin agreed to not get his ass kicked for 30 days.

I’m of the opinion that Ukraine should just fuck shit up anyway and end it once and for all. That’s exactly what Putin has tried to do every single time he “agrees” to a ceasefire. Why would this time be any different? This is just Putin being the absolute fucking coward he really is because he’s getting what he deserves.

No fucking shit. You’d think after 26 goddamn years that other world leaders would finally see through his lies.

Can someone just fucking kill Putin already? I’ve had enough of this asshole’s pot-stirring bullshit.

Yeah, Pebble watches have a pretty loyal fanbase (including myself), and the r/pebble subreddit has been active for years despite the fact that they’ve been defunct for almost a decade. Google open-sourced the OS in January, Eric made announcements about creating a new company to make new PebbleOS-based watches, then yesterday his website (link in this post) started a countdown.

Now here we are.

I’m going to wait and see how these new watches fare in terms of reliability. I wasn’t a fan of the Pebble 2 and it’s issues, but that’s supposedly been resolved. These new units use essentially the same design, but with better materials and reinforcements.

This isn’t Pebble, Google owns that. This is Eric’s new company, Core Devices, the spiritual successor to Pebble.

Go outside and talk to several random people. That’s the average person.

Yes, but the average person doesn’t give a shit about the technical definition. You know what is meant, don’t be pedantic about it.

Some laptops (Thinkpads in particular) are capable of limiting the battery level via a Linux application called tlp so it doesn’t go pop when plugged in 24/7.

Freeware = Free software

Technically true.
