yes? you can legally purchase a plane without a license… did you read my comment? purchasing != using. You don’t need a pilot “under current contract” you could buy a plane and taxi it around the airport if you want without any licenses.
You can, you just need to hire a pilot if you want to fly in it. How do you think rich people fly around in their jets? Do you really think the pilots own the planes?
I think what you want is either plex or Jellyfin which will give you a nice UI to browse your already downloaded files.
Now how do you browse new releases and figure out what you want to download? I just setup https://overseerr.dev/ to go along with sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, nzbget, transmission… it’s a lot of different services but they all work well together. Now to look for new movies, I or my family goes to Overseerr to request downloads, then plex to watch.
I had a coworker come to me with an “issue” he learned about. It was wrong and it wasn’t really an issue and the it came out that he got it from ChatGPT and didn’t really know what he was talking about, nor could he cite an actual source.
I’ve also played around with it and it’s given me straight up wrong answers. I don’t think it’s really worth it.
It’s just predictive text, it’s not really AI.
I’ve been listening to A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs and let me tell you, the music industry can fuck right off. Small indie label? I’ll probably buy it, but one of the major record labels? Set sail mateys.
If you are looking for FOSS, I highly recommend joplin. It’s simple but works well. I used it for many years until recently I switched to Obsidian. I dislike that Obsidian isn’t FOSS but I’m using the free tier and the community plugins really make it so much more powerful than Joplin. They both store things in Markdown so I’m not locked down to their ecosystem which I think is a requirement for any note taking app.
It used to require a PlexPass membership. Now it doesn’t.
I just think as someone new (like the OP), setting up vanilla pihole is a little easier.
Not all I self-host but pihole, plex, & homeassistant are certainly my most used.
It seems that as of right now at least, signups are still open.
If that’s the case it’ll be the first nintendo platform I don’t buy since the original NES. I still buy physical cartridges and if that’s no longer an option I guess I’m just a retro gamer playing emulated systems.
Yeah, but now a lot of people I convinced to use it, no longer use it because they just want to use one app.
Currently? No, because I quit reddit.
But when I was on reddit, I used Relay For Reddit Pro.
Yeah, the mesh features is really nice.
I’ve been using Home Assistant for a while now. I do recommend setting up a VLAN that can’t communicate with the internet which is where any wifi devices live. However I really like ZigBee and/or Z-Wave devices as they don’t require any internet connection.
Lights alone are a game changer. Timers never really worked well for us because we’re pretty far north of the equator and sunrises/sunsets have a pretty big swing. I currently have the lights come on 1 hour before sunset so it adjusts to this swing without me having to do anything. Then I have a button on my nightstand that turns off all the lights that aren’t night lights.
The downsides are that it can be expensive. You start with a couple of light bulbs, maybe a couple of outlets, next thing you know you are pricing out how much it will cost to change all your switches and trying to figure out if they all have neutral wires or not. You’ll start watching youtube videos of people’s setups and looking for ways to do more with your smart home. It’s a fun hobby but can be a lot of work.
I mostly like it, I think there are still a few things that are rough around the edges and there have been some scaling issues with the massive influx of new people (I think mostly to be expected, we’ll see how things are going forward)
I think the biggest question is will more people move over? Reddit was what it was because of the people there, not because of the software. If we can develop a similar community here, I see no reason to go back to reddit.
Same with firefox
