I think entirely separate VMs in different VLANs might be a bit much for a beginner to setup correctly. The Isolation that Docker and it's networking Provides might be enough to start, no?

Is there a good way to watch the streaming services on your TV without trusting either Google/Apple/Amazon to not spy on you with their hardware?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago

I have an Nvidia Shield TV. With 150$ its outside of your price range, sadly.

But: I've been running this thing for 7 years now and its still trucking. Compared to other smaller streaming sticks that have become unusable because of bloat firmware updates over time.

You can install custom firmware on it, but my understanding is that when you want streaming apps like Netflix or Disney to give you more than 720p output, you need the official OS.

If you want to Dodge the ads on the launcher, there are alternative launchers that can simply be sideloaded.

I don't use Jellyfin but I have all my movies on an SMB share that I'm accessing via Kodi. The hardware is strong enough to decode any format you throw at it.

 

Last year, the company I work for was looking to hire a Senior Backend Engineer. Above all, we wanted our interview to favor candidates that are good fits. Now, after working with our new hire for about 11 months, we know that we succeeded. This is how we went about designing the interview.

You just have to put in a little more effort. I have avoided Amazon for a year now by buying from smaller shops found through price comparison portals. Also, I buy more stuff in the local brick-and-mortar shops. And I buy less bullshit. All in all, my live hasn't gotten any worse.

I feel like the takeaway here should be that the experience of contributing to the project was not great. That's it.

There is value in complaining, even if you don't have solutions. You can only make people aware of the consequences that their actions have caused by telling them.

I don't even take issue with him posting this publicly to his own Dev blog. I think its a perfectly fine piece of on-the-job experience OP has shared. Maybe in a few years he would like to come back to it with a different perspective.

I do however think that OP posting this here (and apparently other boards) is a choice I don't agree with. I think OP would have been better served writing a response email to the maintainer, explaining how they felt. Beyond that, what can one do?

I have a de-googled LineageOS (absolutely no google packages or play services installed) with microg and Aurora Store. I use N26 and it works fine.

Ich sehe das Couch Argument genau anders herum. Ich kann mich auf der Couch mit dem controller nur entspannt hin setzen, wenn es sehr casual games sind.

Sobald das Spiel schwer oder gar kompetitiv ist, sitze ich verkrampft auf dem Sofa und mit ist der Schreibtisch mit vernünftigem Stuhl viel lieber.

Oh thats nice. I think this will do for now. I'd love to get the full recording at some point with moderators talking and ads and all that for maximum nostalgia though 😄

I run NixOS my Pi HomeServer. It gives you a lot of flexibility, if you don't mind reading into how the config/build process works.

My server configuration can be found here https://github.com/LukasKnuth/homeserver

Thanks for getting back! Unfortunately, I'm looking for video mainly, because that's how my mum remembers watching the entire thing on her first TV.

Do you think podman could replace Docker Desktop on my Dev machine? Its become so bloated...
