oops straight to stage 4.

but wait stage 3 looks daunting

this has been pretty sweet! i just wish the hba didn’t take so long to boot

I’m interested in learning more about nixOS but until i get there, proxmox all day

poop.

well my truenas is a vm on proxmox, i assume I’ll figure something out when it is time lol

i don’t think so

pangolin might be cool for this?

core or scale? are they getting rid of core??

yooooo mopidy is an awesome server to feed MPD and you were correct about MPD being able to run on this device!

im subbed with freshrss and for the first few weeks, it was a full article each Friday.

now, it’s just like you’ve posted.

i may have been late to that site but i do feel like i saw the seeds of enshittification sprout right before my eyes

i didn’t care about just grabbing the 720p 600mb video file back when i was watching on a little laptop screen.

it does not hold up on the big stuff.

kinda same applies to audio?

crap sounds like crap on a phone speaker, but so does hi quality stuff.

noise and low dynamics are more noticeable on more powerful, louder gear.

just spitballing here, not an expert!

yeh

pixel is meh

GrapheneOS is fucking amazing

i spun up a snikket instance, with a domain and caddy, all that jazz.

the chat is really just about perfect.

we use the conversations xmpp app, and the only issue is that our phones don’t really see that app as a respectable calling app. the phones let other sounds play over the call, like GPS voices, or if a regular call comes in while we’re on a call, it hijacks the audio system until we decline or answer.

Otherwise it’s been pretty sweet!

truenas as vm on proxmox

snikket is prosody’s little sister. docker ready

I was truenas on bare metal for the first year or so, but now I run a truenas VM in proxmox, then use those pools as mounts onto the proxmox. it is really cool!

Until I was in the middle of figuring out how to automate backups of my vms, which paused TrueNas, which was the destination of the backup, was a fun 20 minutes getting it all back running this evening lol

really?? 70? that is really awesome. things have changed so much since you came into this world.

pangolin is really cool!

this is great! i was intrigued by nix and nixOS early into my linux venture and this has probably pushed me to start moving my stuff from Debian, though i am kinda addicted to proxmox.

but the way you’re doing truenas is how I’m running my stuff too. way more planning on your end really cleans it all up!

well it’s really developed to be a 10ft interface, so yeah the touch controls aren’t ideal. handles just the same as it does on TV, on a phone with a remote or game controller though?

i just use the individual streaming apps on the phone if it’s in my hands.

the OP asked for a device recommendation, My point was that it can be any device that runs the same program that works easily from the TV.

all these windows 10 PC’s going in the dumpster soon could be given a new life with LibreELEC.

but i am curious though, are there other single apps on phone that work better with local media and streaming services?
