Well, yeah true it started like that. But still Jellyfin followed the open source path. I’d expect that under the hood there would be very little left of what was Emby, it was just a starting point. (https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby , before they changed the licensing and removed any further work to the GPL 2 version).

Also Emby is at 4.8.1 now and has been making leaps and bounds in changes lately.

As I said, licensing was the issue for Emby, and the easiest solution was to change their license. It wasn’t just to make money, it was about being able to handle licenses from other software, such as Fraunhofer

no. Jellyfin aims to be totally open source.

Emby is not, and the reason it works better. They pay the licenses for mp4 etc. earn it back from those who support, but it never was truly open source.

Jellyfin is open source, and that is the reason they have “problems” (licensing issues, that you have circumvent if you look hard enough).

For set and forget, Emby and Plex are the choices. Emby does not have a bullshit money making agenda, and is the better option - currently.

“obscure Emby”… You don’t get out much, do you.

Emby is a direct competitor to Plex, and its better. It doesn’t require and internet connection to work, doesnt force signup, its completely self hosted if you want. The dev is responsive, bugs are fixed quickly.

It does have subscription options if you want, none are required for full functionality.

Emby is not FOSS, but neither is Plex.

I know this is not useful for most use cases, but if you login to the desktop on the ‘remote Wayland’, locally first then RD will work as expected. So if you can change the behaviour of the remote desktop to stay unlocked (IE its in a secure place where others cannot just access the device), then and RD will work with Wayland.

I use NoMachine (since I manage all sorts of devices, and its nice that there is a client and server for everything including phones/arm) and it works for me because many of the machines are actually VM’s and I can keep the desktops unlocked and logged in. NoMachines solution for Wayland - is to disable it and use X11 !!

But I wish many of the RD developers would just embrace Wayland and add/rewrite code to support it (If it is in their scope, I don’t know) It might not be, since I am aware of Waypipe and Pipewire, but I’d assume that RD devs would still need to include support for that.

Resources is a nice aio flatpak for system monitoring.

Reset forgotten supervisor password

If you forget your supervisor password, Lenovo cannot reset your password. You must take your computer to a Lenovo Service Provider to have the system board replaced.

dont know about traditional board games, but if you have a 3D printer look for “3d printer [game name] pieces”

connect 4, mouse trap to name a couple.

I bet boggle and stuff like that are out there as well.

Let me offer another thought, if you are literally hanging on to windows for this, you could set up a VM in linux for this task. This is how I manage win only apps like my security client (camera vms). You have a license for windows, make it more useful. (and no rebooting to swap!)

Or, a little more controversial, choose another player instead of Apple ipod. Plenty alternates that just work with linux.

I used to have an ipod 20 years ago, and there was a linux “itunes” application, but I doubt its still maintained, or apple has made it impossible for 3rd parties to manage an ipod.

lol! I was actually planning on using ‘yerr’ in imply the American accent! Changed my mind and got it wrong! :P

“what yerr gunna wanna do next is…”

“next, what your gonna do is…”

NOW.

Oh yeah, I like a good horses doovers while mingling!

I’d just go back to cocaine. What is the question here?

I can mould the old shower soap in to the new shower soap like an absolute boss.

I use Bitwarden for pw manager and 2FA. I use that to create a random password for anything I sign up to.

I am fortunate enough to run my own mail server, so for every signup I don’t trust, I make a new email address and only use it for that one thing. You can do facetube+normalemail@someplace.con if you cannot run your own. This at least lets you know who is leaking your info.

I generally try to run as much FOSS as possible, I do dual boot Win/Linux because unfortunately we still have companies not providing for both OS.

And if I go out in the public, I wear a cricket box.

Sorry, I needed more words to be functionally accurate.

But fine, thanks for asking.

just shove the soap wherever it needs to go?

And this folks, is why I remind my family - Just because it’s soap, doesn’t mean its clean…

I always wash from top down, with the exception of hair I do last. Since I practically have none (bit of shampoo every few days) I don’t think this matters unless I have been shat on by a bird or something!

Neck/ears/face etc first (after a good pre-lather - see above, then a post-lather), then shoulders armpits, arms etc, then belly, balls and bum, down the legs to the ankles. Like someone else said here, I’m 190cm and at this point I am already uncomfortably prone! Feet are always dancing around in soapy water so they are fine, and I never got toe jam so it must be okay.

Strange. Chrome based browsers do not allow autoplay in most cases. If the site specifically default mutes the video then autoplay is allowed. I believe Firefox adheres to this as well. I don’t know anything about Safari.

Will not autoplay: <video controls autoplay>

Will autoplay: <video controls autoplay muted>

If the sites you visit autoplay unmuted videos, they are circumventing html somehow. So this means you can probably use uBlock (or ABP) and its element picker to remove the element/video, but that’s also annoying if since you won’t ever see the videos, and something you do want to watch comes up.
