12·5 months agoShips are publicly traceable. I feel like every article should be contextualised with the following graph.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is *arr stack a real Netflix replacement?English
1·8 months agoAt least for me your argument is invalid.
- I installed Wholphin on my TV and it’s both a jellyfin and an (experimental) jellyseer client
- Here in Europe I have fast internet, so downloading the whole file is not really a problem. Also I configured my arr stack to prefer a certain size (on the smaller side) for each resolution.
- I remapped my Netflix button to Wholphin
Well actually it is very easy to spin up in docker and most of the configuration happens through env variables.
juicefs itself only exists on the client side, so you basically only have to install and configure the CSI driver with helm.
as it took me a few days to come up with this solution I’d be happy to share my config files.
Performance wise is quite fast on sequential reads (it saturates my 2.5G bandwidth) and slower than I expected on sequential writes (for me it caps at 60MB/s). Postgresql seems happy. I saw no visible performance degradation with Authentic, Immich and Opencloud. Nextcloud installation took ages. I’ve yet to try it with jellyfish and the *arr suite.
A simple NFS share would be faster, but it doesn’t support replication, failover and CSI snapshots.
I have two storage nodes and one is much faster than the other.
I’m currently evaluating a juicefs deployment based on two minio instances (one per node, replicated with async bucket replication) through a load balancer (sidekick) in failover. Because juicefs also needs a db for metadata, I went with valkey + sentinel.
Juicefs provides a CSI driver that supports ReadWriteMany volumes and CSI snapshots and manages both read and write cache. Performance is much much better than Ceph. In theory it should be riskier (because of the async replication) but in practice I haven’t yet lost a bit.

3·9 months agoBecause Ads are usually recognizable as such in your doom scrolling. Sometimes you can even filter them out with ad blockers.
Ads in AI response is more similar to influencers not disclosing their sponsored messages.

8·9 months agoEven if you are not connected to a WiFi network (so the toggle is off) background WiFi scans can still be used to track you by triangulating your position from nearby networks. This service is provided by Google for your convenience of course, so you don’t even need to wait for GPS to pick up and they can track you without draining your battery too much.
When I used to run a degoogled phone I was able to swap that service with an equivalent one provided by Mozilla, but they stopped supporting it after a while.
We need someone like the EU to forbid bank apps to require Google’s integrity checks so we can make modded Android great again.

11·9 months agoYou can find an older wired VR headset for cheap in the used market. Or even a Q2 if you are feeling fancier. Apart from lenses and resolution they are functionally identical to newer ones.
My first game was Superhot VR and I instantly fell in love.

You should be fine. Linux and BSD systems have te ability to load microcode updates at boot even if you don’t update your BIOS.
I’d be more concerned about the noise and power consumption.
Also the number and the max speed of your NIC is a factor if you have a fast internet connection If you run OPNSense make sure your NIC is well supported (I had problems with realtek and paravirtualized cards). Otherwise you can always add more NICs with pcie cards.



If you do the heavy lifting with external libraries in python, you are already running C code.
