  • It's in their docs. https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/index.html

    Follow the pages one by one, (ie install php modules etc, edit settings, install apache2, edit settings, etc etc). Follow the recommendations (eg. PHP8.2, don't try to use bleeding edge).

    You'll be running in no time, and have a properly updatable system using apt, and the nextcloud ./occ command.

    I would recommend using Debian 12 over Ubuntu variants. There are other guides, like this: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorial-collections/how-to-install-and-configure-nextcloud But you may have to "convert" some of the Ubuntu specific stuff to Debian, but actually there is probably no difference (php module naming convention maybe? Is that still a problem today?)

  • I read about this, and you will have the ability to turn the ad's off in settings.

    They are optional. For now.

  • Tbh, get a Brother printer for any OS. At least they don't buy into the shitfuckery that HP and others do with ink and firmware updates.

  • This is true, but something about being an Electronics Engineer makes you want to check. (I didn't even trust Philips to get it right, but they did.)

    I didn't go into detail, but simple Dashed/Solid line doesn't tell you the whole story. Those simple wall warts are not fancy switch mode, or even old school rectified. I measured 14VDC unloaded, which I can probably guestimate in experience, to be a 9VDC loaded reading.

    The actual reading on wallwarts are generally untrustworthy, unless its a thing from Samsung or apple, where the circuitry are what you would expect (switched etc).

  • I can tell you for certain, I measured my plug phiips (foil and 'one') and they are both 14VDC. So short answer is that the plug charger would blow up the usb trimmer you have (which is 5VDC).

    The reason I know this and measured them, was because I wasnt sure the two plug chargers were the same, and I didnt want to blow up my philips one.

  • no such thing as a quarter in Oz. So 20c. But I remember watching the 20c games go from that to 40c, 50c and then $1. For games like KISS, and Playboy none the less! (Other 70's style pinnies never got passed 50c because they were not popular enough, and newer ones were shadowing them in the 80's.

  • "video games" were mechanical, and you interacted with targets by manipulating a metal spherical pixel using, hand eye coordination, timing and physics. You were rewarded with multiple "pixels" if you were good enough.

    They cost 20c to play and you only got 3 lives.

  • Anyone still using LibreSSL and not OpenSSL, has only themselves to blame. Or their company or whoever is forcing it on them.

  • The only people that will really suffer from this is businesses. They will have to buy W11, and they will need to get supported hardware. However, businesses usually have rolling upgrades in place in the IT and have probably rolled out many already.

    As for home users, with each newer generation, they become more tech savy. I can tell you now, this won't affect as many people as you imagine.

    • 1: W11 is free to download from M$. You can choose whether or not to buy a licence. W11 cracks already exist, M$ is still using key management services, so something like KMSpico still work. There are also tons of activator scripts on github (lol, since M$ owns this!).
    • 2: Grab a copy of RUFUS. Use it to take the W11 image and remove all restrictions, and dump it to USB.
    • 3: ???
    • 4: Profit.

  • 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.

  • Tell me you are American, with out telling me you are American....

  • I'd pick prohibited transaction. I live in AU. NYSE won't let me trade there.

    Either that or "hate" - all redditors can get involved, but not you because you are not from the US. Sounds like communism.

  • I agree, it will take a lot of work, and I am all for balance where an AI prompt is ambiguous and doesn't specify anything in particular. The output could be male/female/Asian/whatever. This is where AI needs to be diverse, and not stereotypical.

    But if your prompt is to "depict a male king of the UK", there should be no ambiguity to the result of that response. The sheer ignorance in googles approach to blatantly ignore/override all historical data (presumably that the AI has been trained on) is just agenda pushing, and of little help to anyone. AI is supposed to be helpful, not a bouncer and must not have the ability to override the users personal choices (other than being outside the law).

    Its has a long way to go, before it has proper practical use.

  • Given the shenanigans google has been playing with its AI, I'm surprised it gives any accurate replies at all.

    I am sure you have all seen the guy asking for a photo of a Scottish family, and Gemini's response.

    Well here is someone tricking gemini into revealing its prompt process.
