  • "Happy 18th bu- domin"?

  • Technically yes, but actually no. CEC is horrible and it's considered a genuine miracle when someone ever gets it working.

  • Yeah, jellyfin isnt the greatest about handling the space around a movie. I also have similiar issues. I usually end up playing the movies in vlc and pressing 'c' until the video fits the screen best.

  • It's weird seeing a town i grew up next to show up on the news. The context doesn't surprise me at all though. Having it described as 'a rural college town that has been rapidly drawn into the expanding orbit of Dallas to its south' is even weirder. Sherman is 45 minutes away from mckinney, much less dallas. It's more of it's own town than anything else.

  • Which makea it the #7 most used email client in the world. That is not niche.

  • I can only assume they don’t drop the hammer because they can take a cut instead.

    you have way too much faith in a government agencies ability to see, understand, and act on a situation.

  • Im sorry, but, for things like games, raid isn't really going to give you a perceivable speed increase. Most games today get the most use from the random read, where raid does best is with things like sequencial writes (large movies, etc).

    Raid0 will add to your throughput, but your seek times will still be the same regardless of how many drives you add to it.

    Here in the us, a 2tb ssd is less than 50$. Im sorry its not the same where you are at.

    I know the others suggest raid0, but since youre doing three drives im gonna suggest raid 5 instead. You don't lose out on read performance compared to raid0, just write speeds. More importantly, one drive failing wont actually break anything.

  • Similiar amounts for the literal absolute best. Most people don't spend more than 1500 total though.

  • I have found that a combination of litebg.se (an active rarbg clone) and torrentgalaxy has been enoug for most of my needs.

  • Heck, that's practically the unofficial linux motto.

  • Meh, i hate the design too, but i can absolutely support someone looking into making their linux install more personal.

  • Ignorance is not stupidity.

  • The entire purpose of my inquiry is to not sit here and waste each others’ time going back and forth for hours on end over text trying to figure it out. It’s for us to be able to have a discussion and so that you can see what I’m doing as I’m doing it.

    I only post on forums because if everybody used discord and other non-searchable communication mediums, the internet would be a complete failure, or about as available as peoples secret mushroom spots. I promise you that the issues you face are not original. Everybody else who comes across this thread looking for a good place to start is going to be pissed because there's only one or two listed, when there could have been an entire thread full of good places to start, with commentary about specific tutorials and why they suck or what parts a new person could get stuck on.

    These forums are not just for you to use as a dump to vaguepost and hope someone will spend several hours of their life cheering you on while you figure out how to do stuff. They are for everyone in the thread, and everyone who comes after while looking for similar solutions. Trying to take whatever support you end up getting away from everyone who comes after you is called pulling up the ladder after yourself, and is the exact opposite of why forums exist in the first place.

    If people had actually been rude when you asked a basic question, it would be different. But it isn't. You're not trying to engage with the way this forums actually works and it really shows. As far as I can see, most everyone here is trying to help. You just don't want the great help that is being offered. You want an unpaid private tutor who will cheer you on and sometimes give you a tip to make things easier, while you avoid doing things like reading the manual, looking through tutorials, or heaven forbid, googling what aomething is.

  • We know. What you're asking for is the wrong to thing to ask for, here in these forums. Aint nobody got time for walking a strqnger through thw entire install process of five or eight different self hosting programs. My own personal process has taken several months and is still ongoing.

  • You said that you have an issue with some software (you did not even bother to specify which)

    Actually I did.

    You didn't. You very specifically asked for someone to commit to helping you personally with nonspecific issues rather than asking for help from a general group for a specific issue (which would have been more likely to get help).

    posted what I’m trying to achieve

    I did.

    Maybe, but what youre trying to achieve isn't getting a helpful answer for a specific question. You're trying to get someone to commit to helping you for an unspecified amount of time with an unspecified amount of problems. CriticalMass is telling you that is a bad way of obtaining help for a problem anywhere except in school and a job classroom. This is neither of those.

    why I’m unable to do it so far

    Did that also.

    Maybe try reading more carefully before calling someone out for some bullshit.

    No, he read your post just fine. You just don't like the answers you're getting. Asking for help with a specific thing is exactly what these forums are for. Asking for help getting started is even okay. We love sharing a good tutorial for getting a new user started with a specific software.

    You aren't doing any of those things. You're asking for someone to spend hours of their time, in a call with you, to walk you through a process that has hundreds of online tutorials already out there. You're also getting mad when people tell you that what you're after is not what this discussion forum is for.

    Maybe try reading more carefully before calling someone out for some bullshit.

  • I use it for exactly that to keep my porn sites off my search suggestions.

  • It's funny, i had the opposite idea. The beginning / middle was very mid, but the ending managed to pull the movie from a c+ to an a-. The emotional climax that tied it all together was the only thing keeping the movie going.
