This is my exact concern.

If I pay for the lifetime pass now, what’s to stop them from restricting even more features behind new types of subscriptions and paywalls. “We’re adding back the ‘Watch Together’ feature but it requires a Platinum Plex subscription and will not be a part of Plex Lifetime Pass users.”

Seems kind of inevitable honestly.

If you mean that you are using Proton VPN on your Raspberry Pi to mask your downloading traffic, then no that same VPN will not help you access services like Jellyfin on your home network while you are remote.

Instead you’ll want to use something like Tailscale (or Wireguard). You run it as a service on your home network and it then becomes your own VPN that you (or others) can use to connect to your home network when you are remote.

You could run Wireguard on the same RaspberryPi that you use for downloading but I would recommend against it assuming that you’re running Proton VPN right on the host itself (and not inside a container).

I’m assuming your phone has to be rooted for this right? Or is docker running without root? I didn’t realize anything like this was possible. This is interesting.

I don’t know the details but I’ve had to ban her account several times (from a number of different source instances) for sending everyone the exact same unsolicited private message.

I never bothered to figure out of if it’s actually malicious or just some nonce trying to drive up engagement. Either way it’s a weird quirk of Lemmy right now that she’ll eventually DM you…

This is basically how I do it too.

I used to be more creative but then I got in the habit of running more servers and swapping hardware more frequently so it got harder to remember what hardware I was actually connecting to. Now they get hardware based names and everything else is named by service-based Ansible roles.

Not trying to change your mind on giving money to internet grifters but having a cell phone is pretty much a basic tool of survival these days even if you’re destitute. Phones more than a couple years old are basically e-waste and cost nothing or are donated/trashed all the time. Even a WiFi only phone can be the best tool someone has to find shelter, food and get important weather updates.

I decided to go ahead and install KOReader and check it out. It’s pretty neat although I can’t find what you’re describing in the settings.

In any case I was hoping to find a way to do this without having to switch to a separate user interface.

How did you set the custom screensavers?

I ran the jailbreak on my Kindle PW6 following the instructions linked here but everything I’m finding when searching how to set custom screensavers is extremely out of date.

Anyone know how to set custom screen idle images after doing this? I’ve been wanting to put ‘Don’t Panic’ on my 6th gen paperwhite since I got it but it’s so locked down that wasn’t possible.

I use this extension to get SSH support for VSCodium It works great!

This is what I’m using and I haven’t found any reason to switch yet.

I use a Gnome implementation of this and it works great too.

I learned to write scripts on Windows Powershell and got spoiled by everything being an object so when I started writing bash scripts I think 90% of the work is trying to parse the raw text output of commands with things like awk or sed.

I upgraded to a new GPU a few weeks ago but all I’ve been doing is playing Factorio which would run just fine on 15 year old hardware.

Debian + Containers is definitely the way. Literally so stable it’s boring.

Same here. I love DuckDNS but after the third DNS outage taking down all my services I migrated to Cloudflare and haven’t had a single problem since.

I have yet to have any success with Bottles but I assume it’s because I don’t know what I’m doing and I’m trying with software known to be difficult.

I remote into a Windows PC for Fusion 360 and Affinity suite but if I could get those working on Linux I’d be in really good shape.

I’ve not tried GPT4ALL but Ollama combined with Open WebUI is really great for selfhosted LLMs and can run with podman. I’m running Bazzite too and this is what I do.

Wayland was subject to “first mover disadvantage” for a long time. Why be the first to switch and have to solve all the problems? Instead be last and everyone else will do the hard work for you.

But without big players moving to it those issues never get fixed. And users rightly should not be forced to migrate to a broken system that isn’t ready. People just want a system that works right?

Eventually someone had to decide it was ‘good enough’ and try an industry wide push to move away from a hybrid approach that wastes developer time and confuses users.

I’ve had exactly this happen to me. It was my own fault but it took a bit of work figure out.
