These posts are absolutely perfect timing for me. I’m looking to start replacing an old Synology Diskstation I bought back in 2016 that has worked for me flawlessly. I really appreciate everyone sharing their details and experiences here.
I sent someone a screenshot and they asked what wefwef was because it showed the name in the top left of the screen shot as like a ‘go back to your last app’ link. Turned into a short painful discussion that I was happy to be over. Sometimes I think people are purposefully obtuse though and it reminded me why I don’t talk about technology with most everybody I know IRL.
Exactly how I ended up on debrid, I don’t know what the hell I’m doing anymore, I don’t mind paying but I got fed up with everything getting fractured and torn apart due to greedy ass licensing, I wouldn’t have even minded the price increases if it was one, maybe two, services but it’s absolutely ridiculous. I remember paying for up faith and family for a month to binge a show I wanted to watch and really started questioning how dumb I’d become. I got my moneys worth (imo) since I canceled after a month but I don’t have any desire to play the subscribe and cancel game either and it’s become pervasive if you just want to watch something. I knew it would get bad but I’d hoped for better, like Netflix and another competitor fighting for distribution supremacy kind of like Steam. That went to compete shit and I was naive af.
No I’m with you and have always kind of wished that’s the direction more EVs would have gone. I have a minivan for all the shit going on with kids and I love it but I have to drive six hundred miles half a dozen times a year so they can visit their mom. A higher range EV that I can refill with gas would be a game changer. Instead I got an electric golf cart that is street legal I use for the majority of my local commuting so I only drive the minivan a few times a week. I was really just being a turd because your first comment said 3 HP and the next one said 5 HP.
Maybe truth is they started talking about doing a car like that and by the time it was ready for production they ended up with a regular ICE car because they nearly doubled the HP of the generator every time the design got reviewed like you are doing now. Before long it will be a tiny 98 HP generator…
I really appreciate your comment but yes, I use frigate on an HAOS system. It works incredible and I have six of their cameras running along with four others from a different brand. The other four I can manipulate completely via Firefox on HAOS. The Reolink cameras just have no other option than doing the initial setup and advanced configurations from windows. So I keep a lab pc connected to that environment just so if I want to tweek anything like fps, resolution, network settings (IP, gateway, etc) that I’m able to do so. The web interface once enabling the https service on the camera has garbage capabilities compared to my other cameras. It’s not a huge deal, I haven’t had to get into them for advanced settings in a few months but it really annoys me that I can’t do initial configuration and advanced settings from Linux.
I’m trying to figure out what to do with my lab workstation. If I want to mess with the settings of my Reolink cameras windows seems to be the only stable option sadly. I’ve tried their android software and it’s garbage. The web interface is very limited after enabling it in the settings via their software. Wine has not worked well for me. It’s an isolated lan so it’s not a huge deal but I really wish there was a Linux build. I love the hardware and don’t want to replace the physical cameras. Just so stupid they won’t support a Linux client.
What are you referring to? I have a 2022 Kia and I press the lock button then hold the start button on my key fob to start it. Same sequence to turn it off.
I subscribed to the app my first year with the car mainly because I was able to reimburse it at work. It was nice being able to start remotely no matter how many floors away I was in the winter but since I work from home now I didn’t maintain the subscription anymore.
I think I see the problem. Theirs no path to step 4 in your workflow.
I’ll never lose sleep over it and don’t care for the whales but I do directly donate $15 a month, sometimes individually but often times to 2 or 3 individuals. The only service I pay for otherwise is realdebrid. I started donating as I got to a comfortable place in life and am happy to contribute that subscription plus my $15 a month donation to the project, creator, artist w/e. I pick based on the content our household is consuming or projects I want to support.
At the end of the day I don’t think anyone needs to justify anything. Even if pirating is considered to be immoral, which I’m not arguing, it would still be the least immoral practice in the process compared to all the shit that takes place with large commercially developed content.
If things ever got stupid I’d just play crossword and do puzzles, I’m not so attached to electronic media that I’d pay over $50 a month for the entertainment.
I was pretty pissed about the whole situation. I checked with two ISPs prior to buying the house and both told me cable internet was available at the address. Turned out the cable terminated half a mile down the road towards the town and they wouldn’t pay to extend the run, or even let me pay to extend it. Then I tried to enable the hotspot and received a pop up saying my plan didn’t support it. I was further upset when I realized I could only share to five devices once I added that to my plan which made me more determined to figure something out. I don’t think I would have stumbled onto the solution if I hadn’t been so upset and determined about everything. I didn’t want to do satellite because latency and all of them having monthly data caps. Being on the internet with dialup is all but useless. Even news articles back in ~2015 would take a solid five minutes to load. Couldn’t stream anything obviously. It was hell. Before I moved out I had setup a yagi antenna pointed at a T-Mobile tower and was getting full bars and pretty respectable speeds considering, comparable or higher than cable would have been. I did end up having to setup a pc fan near the dongle to keep it cool though because it would get really hot. My first one started smoking and died. The second one lasted three years before I ended up moving.
Yeah they charge for tethering. When I lived in a rural area with only dial up, only eight years ago, I got an Ethernet dongle I could plug into my computer and setup the connection to an old cellphone then unplug from the computer and plug that into the internet port of my router so our whole house could share the T-Mobile unlimited data and the cell phone only saw it as one device. Just left the phone plugged in where it got the best service. Even with the hotspot addon (+25$) I could only connect five devices. That added up a lot faster than I expected so the dongle ended up being my work around.
Awesome! Thank you!
This is the setup I’m using. I ordered a tablet as a dedicated device and looking forward to it getting here. We’re all iOS phones and tablets so I needed something else. In the Meantime I have an old android phone I tested it with but it has a swollen battery that split the back open so I’d rather replace it and I’m pretty sure a decent tablet would be snappier so it’s been an investment but only a couple hundred bucks total. I’ve cut paramount, Disney, appletv, hbomax, Hulu, and faith & family. I had no reason for all the bs and it just really crept up on me over a few years after I got a good job. I’m keeping Netflix because I like the standup comedian stuff, it’s only $7 with T-Mobile, and I’ve also made a mint on them in stock so w/e.
The only thing I haven’t been able to find was my kids wanted to watch elemental. I’d love some more categories to find stuff when I’m in a mood but not sure what to watch. Was thinking maybe theirs a website I could find that would do that better anyway though and just search for it once I find it.
Since mr fantasy land can’t find it in himself to thank you for all the knowledge you shared in this interaction I wanted to make sure I took the time to. Thank you, I learned a great deal from your comments and your ability to communicate information is superb.
Oh yes, let’s worry about saving the intellectual capitol of paper boy, frogger, etc. It’s meaningless bs that’s why it doesn’t matter.
They’re video games, who gives a shit. Most things are lost over time.
I’m not a new Linux user but am a new Linux gamer. I landed on endeavorOS a few months ago and like it enough I converted my other two desktops over. Whether it’s just dumb luck or not it has been noticeably more snappy on all three of the workstations I put it on than anything else I was using. It’s honestly kind of eerie, after putting my work laptop (windows11) away for the day and jumping on one of my systems they are so responsive now that sometimes it feels like it’s predicting what I want to do before I do it.
