Kodi with a debrid service works great for me, the one I use has had maybe 2-3 days worth of downtime in the 3 and a half years that I’ve been using it!

Eh the authoritarian capitalists who love the CCP generally seem to embrace the fact that China is authoritarian - they see it as a good thing!

Also depends on where the servers are - latency probably won’t be great if you’re on the literal opposite side of the world from the servers that you’re streaming the game from!

How long until Apple adopts RISC-V?

Lol I hardly think that companies like EA or Microsoft are “honest businesses” or “small artist[s]”, fuckers have made billions of dollars through their anticompetitive monopolistic bullshit.

It’s not the Pirate Bay logo so my bet would be that it’s representing internet piracy as a general concept!

It’s also on F-Droid if your TV doesn’t have the Google Play Services - I run LineageOS on my TV box!

Kinda hard to buy a Framework when they don’t sell to your country! Framework laptops are only available in a handful of areas, whereas Macbooks are sold in almost every country on Earth.

I used to be a big fan of Opera back when it was good but I wouldn’t recommend using anything made by them since they got bought out by a shady Chinese company that makes their money off of predatory payday loan apps with exploitative interest rates in a few developing nations. Firefox (and Mull and the like) are the best Android web browsers but if you really want a Chromium-based one then I’d recommend looking into using one that’s open source and not owned by an unethical corporation.

Not sure if it works for this specific gDrive error but usually when I wanna download something but Drive won’t let me I add a shortcut to it in a folder in my own gDrive account alongside a dummy text file, then I right click on the folder and download the whole thing as a ZIP.

You’ll probably have to use containers or VMs if you want to be able to control Kodi via the HTTP API (eg. remote control apps or the web ui) while also being able to access the Pi-Hole web ui.

For pirating with Kodi I’d recommend looking into a Debrid service combined with an addon like Umbrella or Seren and a nice skin such as Arctic Horizon.

AFAIK the most secure way to host stuff on your home network is to set up a locked down, firewalled VLAN for it.

IIRC Flatpack is also FOSS whereas the Snap server software is proprietary

Been a gnome guy for the past ~13 years with a bit of unity thrown in back when it was relevant! I’ve tried to love KDE repeatedly over the years but it’s never quite clicked with me - the customisation is great, but using it just feels kinda wrong personally!

I’ve got a few devices from athom, their stuff comes pre-flashed with FOSS firmwares such as ESPhome or WLED!

I’ve heard Power Delete Suite suggested as a potentially superior alternative, am planning to try it out in a few days time!
