For my docker containers I use what's up docker which not only alerts me when there is an update but also give a link to the changes, so I can have a look what's happening !

For my system itself... Just doing sudo pacman -Syu. Though that's not great, cause some updates can potentially break my EndeavourOS system... I keep sometimes an eye on the forum when I see some critical changes like the kernel itself or nvidia updates though.

The only thing I don't install via that way is Firefox addons.

Any specific reason why? Yesterday I installed LibreWolf and saw at the same time a few addons in the AUR.

Do you know what's the difference from an AUR addon or the official Firefox addon repo?

I guess It would be for security reasons because you never know if someone has tempered with the addon.

I get you ! And you're right. It's never to late though, until it is. We/they have been betrayed more than once by big tech and monopoly, so I think it's justified to feel a bit anxious when something out of bound to user's privacy/consent is implemented in the only real alternative we have right now...

I mean, sure Firefox is the only last bastion against big tech's monopoly and all forks are depending on Firefox... So that's not truely a real long term solution as alternative (If something is going to happen...). But as a long term Firefox user, I also have the feeling they are slowly following a dark/uncertain path.

Sure, right now it's not that of a big deal, but what if in 3 years it becomes a big deal? Imagine a scenario where all web browsers become controlled by one single entity? Wouldn't it be good to have an alternative? (Yeah there is Tor already) This is only possible in this kind of "hysteria" where some people take the lead before it's too late, otherwise we will be stuck for years without any working solution, while depending on big data's scrapper/hoarder riddled with ads and privacy invasive browsing...

Hope it make sense and that my arguments are somehow comprehensible? Not my first language so giving my best haha !

Edit: It's not a matter of if, but when (but I hope that doesn't apply to Firefox)

Edit2:

Just think about the Linux kernel, right now it's the only best alternative to Windows/MacOS and everything is perfect. But what will happen in a few years when Linus steps down? Will it still be as good as today? Will big tech take a step into the kernel? Will it become the next Windows/MacOS? Who knows... That's why alternatives are always a good thing to have before it's too late !!

Damn... DNS issue early in the morning... What a nightmare 😂! Hope you got enough caffeine.

Or you can stay on a sinking ship convince yourself "It's fine !" until it's too late?

Whatever chose your poison 🤷

LibreWolf is great ! Coming from ArkenFox, I found LibreWolf's override cfg a bit easier.

They also have a pacdiff cfg to see what changes from version to version without the need to roam arkenfoxes github repo for hours to find what changed or what to change.

I installed it yesterday to see how it goes :) If it doesn't fit, will go back to Arkenfox.

No sponsors, no ads, customizable and watch YouTube videos without a premium account?

Edit1: Lighter UI

Edit2: There's a way to use a VPN and split tunneling but didn't dug that far right now. So it's still possible to have the privacy feature if that's against your threat model/privacy concerns.

I think the best thing to do is selfhosting your own instance :/ piped is doing a great job with their script to install with docker ! Yes I know this takes away the privacy feature allowing google to get your public IP and other annoying metadata... However all the rest works as expected !

It has some quirks right now though... But they are very close in solving the issue (already done with LibreTube ).

Most of the telemetry can be disabled in the Firefox settings. Some of the web services depend on some Mozilla domains so blocking all Mozilla domains will probably break a few things here and there?

Other than that, with the current situation, I would already think to switch to a Firefox fork or other alternative.

Firefox is walking a very dark path right now and you can see/feel how they are slowly rolling the enshitification path :/

It really depends on your metadata/ directory structure. Even though navidrome doesn't care of your directory structure it's better to have everything neatly separated !

You can spin a docker compose (if you're a bit acquainted with it) and simply point to your external drive containing your media, just to give it a try and see how it performs with your media files.

Just give it a try and see how it works, however I would wait for the new scanner update before upgrading fully to navidrome which would give some new long awaited functionalities like VA list of all artist.

But I had so many services running it was a pain to maintain.

Are you talking about docker containers? You should take a look at what's up docker to maintain and keep track of your containers. I have approximately 20 containers and It was easier to keep track this way. If you're more in the 50/100 range... Yeah this sounds a lot ! :o

It was moderated :) Something illegal about drugs. I do get it when talking about synthetic drugs, but natures gift shouldn't be treated the same !

It makes me kinda uneasy to see Google way down the list... :/ This seems suspicious as fuck ! Not about the person who made the list, but when something so evil makes something so easy to unlock, make my eyebrows twitch !

Now I just want to host a web page and expose it with nepenthes...

First, because I'm a big fan of carnivorous plants.

Second, because it let's you poison LLMs, AI and fuck with their data.

Lastly, because I can do my part and say F#CK Y0U to those privacy data hungry a$$holes !

I don't even expose anything directly to the web (always accessible through a tunnel like wireguard) or have any important data to protect from AI or LLMs. But just giving the opportunity to fuck with them while they continuously harvest data from everyone is something I was already thinking off but didn't knew how.

Thanks for the link !

Now I understand what peak means... Season 2 so far was a total banger ! I rewatched all the current episodes thrice...

However, the last episode fight was not as good and way to speedy... Could have been a bit longer and more impressive. The first few episode fights were mind blowing.

Story wise I'm very curious where it's heading and I'm afraid to read the books :/

Yeaaah ! Counter-Strike 1.5/1.6 era with Day of Defeat and some Ricchochet for chilling off your nerves !

The best and only way for a 48 ride ! Although It can be the best ride ever, or the worst nightmare you will ever experience :/. Either way those experience are the two sides of the same coin !

After some fiddling arround my self I had some Audio sync/frame gone missing issues with ffmpeg, I would recommend to use mkvtoolnix to cut and merge your mkv files together.

Anime and .ass subtitles are a bit funky but that's not due to jellyfin but the player used while streaming in direct play. (In my case)

I had the issue where on my mobile/laptop some subtitles just disappeared or where strangely formated. After some digging arround I found out that VLC was the culprit and changing the default player to MPV or alternatives like Findroid (which uses MPV as default player) everything went butter smooth in direct play !

No idea about transcoding though :/

Wrong tool for the job ! Use Navidrome with your music library. There's even a new scanner rewrite in the working which will even further improve how good it is !

I don't know if it's bad UX or UI, but I do agree there's something really disturbing with jellyfin's options and tweaks... More than once I lost my way and had to click on every option button again to find a specific thing to disable/enable something?

Now It's easier after I have passed some time in the options/user menu, but some tweaks and options are not very intuitive.

Other than that, Jellyfin is awesome and I can't believe something as good as Jellyfin is free and open source. Thanks to all devloppers behind this, I hope they will stay true to open source and jellyfin will last forever !! But I doubt it.
