Honestly I’d recommend buying refurbished drives and using them in a RAID array so that you can easily replace one for cheap(ish) if it goes bad.
before anyone says “RAID is not a backup” yeah I know but you can’t deny its capability to function as such. 3-2-1 always applies.
Set up an alert for when the drive you want goes on sale/in stock
Yeah it’s a shame the path Garmin is going :(
Also: Garmin recently enshittified by simultaneously adding an AI slop component that works by taking all of your recorded fitness and location data and doing gods know what with it, as well as a paid subscription tier to their obligatory smartphone app – the latter after explicitly promising for many years that they wouldn’t. So not only is their hardware expensive (and their owners are now rightly pissed), they’re also liars. I would not give them any money until they shape up, if I were you. Assuming they ever do…
Gadgetbridge works with most Garmin models. I have the Instinct 2 Solar and have never created a Garmin account or downloader the app.
Are you doing things through docker compose? If so, feel free to PM me or reply here with your compose file and I’ll help as best I can
If you just want an internal webUI with video playback, I absolutely love MeTube.

It uses yt-dlp as a backend and has a lot of configuration and supports a lot of sites.
Exposing this to the outside isn’t a good idea because of the risk of DMCA or someone abusing your hard drive space
Does it have to be pterodactyl? I have two servers set up with Docker and they were very easy to set up.
I use this: https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server
I had some weird issues with my 3080 Ti on Fedora 41 and 42 and have recently switched to a 9070 XT.
Most games ran fine, but other programs acted strange while games were open. Space Engineers, Escape from Tarkov, and a couple other titles wouldn’t allow me to use other programs. The cursor would stay the same as in-game, even when alt-tabbed, and the Discord UI would become unresponsive.
I had several strange issues with my monitor flickering that didn’t resolve until I uninstalled and reinstalled my drivers.
I had a horrible issue with Minecraft and other OpenGL games that caused a strobing white screen while playing. I forgot how I resolved that one.
I had to reinstall drivers several times. I don’t know how much of it was self-inflicted or just how it goes on Linux.
None of these issues have come up while on my 9070 XT.
If you’re not opposed to doing it yourself, you can sign up for a free trial to Tidal and rip it.
I’ve never heard of xpipe until now - I just set it up and this is amazing
I saw this in “all”
People here don’t like Nintendo for their treatment of modders and emulator devs. Nintendo is a very litigious company and shuts down any fun project related to their IP.
The gold standard for transcoding these days is a newer gen Intel CPU with integrated graphics.
The integrated GPU on those intel chips can do Intel QuickSync / QSV which will handle a dozen streams at once without breaking a sweat.
So far the closest thing was Plasma Bigscreen, but it’s still in development.
Functionally, it’s the right thing I’m looking for, but it’s not polished enough to fulfill my needs.
If this allowed folders and a GUI for settings, I think it’d be a winner.
Yeah another user mentioned this - definitely my #1 choice if it were fully released.
Oh fuck yeah this looks like the one.
Probably gonna do Fedora + KDE Bigscreen.
EDIT: It’s not released yet due to inactive development… bummer.
Wife would not approve of this because she loses her phone all the time. Also the kids don’t have phones.
I am looking for a solution that can be controlled by my remote
Do you use steam big picture mode?
I’d prefer not integrating Steam too much, since this is a shared computer that my kids also use.
I do like the UI of big picture mode, so if there were something similar that could be used by a remote or controller, that’d be top tier. Steam games could be added in via shortcuts
You can buy twice as many drives, though.
