I mean Amazon did this for their mp3s. It was literally just an id3 tag with a unique identifier. Not hard to remove but “good enough” to keep regular people from overly distributing it. You’ll never win against the real Pirate community no matter what you do, so just give people real incentive to buy and actually own.

Grimm Fandango (one of the best games ever made) along with Myst and Riven also run on Scummvm!

Cdparanoia to make sure I get a good rip. Then flacenc to convert to flac. Then Picard to tag and organize it.

Windows 95 crashing for the 5th time that day corrupting another high school paper.

I knew nothing about Linux, but bought a red hat 6 cd and installed it. I never dual booted or ever went back.

This was in the day of getting a modem that actually worked on Linux was a PITA as everything had turned into software based winmodems. And it wasn’t like you could just order one online. You had better have hoped Best Buy/circuit city/compusa had something.

Lindows. I can’t believe it still exists in some form…

I also have a framework 13. It has been great! I run the latest fedora and everything works great out of the box.

My only annoyance is fedora disable hibernate by default and now that s2idle is the default instead of s3, too much battery is used while sleeping. That said, it isn’t difficult to enable s3 and hibernate.

I use s3 deep sleep which then hibernates after and hour. Works great for me as I don’t do work on my personal laptop so I’m only using it on evenings and weekends.

Mine are also Futurama;

• Hypnotoad - Server
• Morbo - Desktop
• Nibbler - Laptop

It generally works well for me. I am running an older version of frigate that uses the COCO model (I think you can have custom models now).

You can specify different object along with thresholds. My dog occasionally shows up as a false positive, and the only time it misses a person is when it is really dark and the person doesn’t enter full frame long enough.

My fan rarely turns on even as a developer.

I have a framework laptop that I run Linux on. It has been a fantastic machine so far!

Me too. I use it with Frigate NVR. What other things are people using them for?

I run jellyfin (along with about 20 other self hosted services) on a fitlet2

If you are running Jellyfin on a computer at home you’ll need to configure your dns with your dns provider to point to your home public ip then configure your router to forward port 443 to your Jellyfin server.

If you are ok with Jellyfin being public, then I would just put it in front of an nginx proxy. That way, your nginx proxy will handle SSL termination. With SSL, your ISP won’t be able to inspect the traffic directly.

If you are running docker, then I’d recommend jwilder/nginx-proxy and its lets encrypt companion jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion. It makes putting things behind an SSL proxy very easy! This of course assumes you have a public IP address through your ISP and aren’t stuck behind CG-NAT!

A second option is to keep it private then use a VPN (this is what I do). Wireguard can be a good option although setting up each device is a bit manual, since you have to generate key pairs for each of them. This also requires you have a public IP through your ISP or have a public box that bridges your public VPN to your home network. That said, it works really well.

Tailscale is a free, but commercial option built on top of wireguard that makes set up a lot easier. If you are stuck behind CG-NAT this is probably your easiest option.

Interesting. I don’t see this issue.

I have a dedicated music player with all my favorite music for offline listening (fiio x3 and also a pinephone with lollipop)

I also have a Jellyfin server and use finamp on my phone. It isn’t public so I have an always on WireGuard vpn.

For my stereo, I have a raspberry pi hooked up. It runs mpd and mounts the same music directory as Jellyfin using nfs.

The raspberry pi also has an nfc reader and I have nfc cards with printed artwork on them. Tapping them to the reader starts playing that album.
