Read the documentation.

"Generally speaking Gatekeeper needs to sit between your LAN network and the internet. It can either completely replace the router provided by ISP, or sit between the ISP router and your LAN network."

Isn't OpenOffice deprecated or mostly abandoned? I'm sure it will works, though.

Where should I check?

Sure, but I don't see any of the leadership at the museum advocating against that law.

Read the whole article, it's actually pretty good. It outlines 3 methods:

• Google's Android backups: this is the "standard" backup method
• SMS Backup Plus: convert your texts to Gmail messages for a long-term, searchable archive (this one seems more like what you want)
• SMS Backup & Restore: Store your messages in a backup file that can be restored later as needed

Sci-Hub is ENORMOUS, about 100TB. If you want to help preserve it, you can torrent and seed one of their many 100GB chunks.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. But as you can tell from this whole thread, it's not going well. LOL.

I'm seeing a lot of confusion. Here are some key takeaways:

• LBRY Inc is shutting down.
• LBRY (without the Inc) isn't going anywhere. It's decentralized, they literally can't shut it down.
• Odysee isn't going anywhere either.
• LBRY Inc is apparently being shut down for "violating registration provision in securities laws", whatever that means. I think they were handling crypto funds in a way that the SEC argued was illegal, and they lost in court.

Context: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/16/lbry-closes-odysee-cryptocurrency-tech-sec-fraud-extremist--

Odysee is not shutting down.

It depends on whether or not you're transcoding, how many users you have, and your resolution. If you're just direct streaming 720p/1080p content to a couple of people then even a Raspberry Pi is fine. But if you're sending transcoded 4K streams to several people simultaneously, you need some horsepower.

There have always been multiple definitions of "open source". That's why it's always best to specify. If you mean FOSS, say FOSS. Don't use an ambiguous term like "open source".

Incorrect. People have been calling random software open source since the 80s, because it's a very vague term. The new definition that you think is gospel wasn't invented until the OSI was formed in '98.

Buy yourself a new gaming rig, and use your old gaming rig as a server. That's what I usually do.

Or, see if you can get an old office PC for a couple hundred bucks on eBay. Anything that's around 5 years old (10 is pushing it) and has decent specs (maybe an i7 and 16GB of RAM) should work fine as a Minecraft and Plex server. Then you can get a cheap (ideally less than $200) graphics card and be good to go.

Bottom line, a "server" is just a PC that's serving things. You don't need enterprise grade hardware. If you're new to hosting, I'd advise you to start cheap and then upgrade to better hardware in a few years when you KNOW what you need. No need to get something really nice and expensive right now.

To run Minecraft and Plex? That's not really the ideal use case for a Synology.....

Do you need smaller words? OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE IS OLDER THAN THE OSI.

There's a maximum file size, I forget what it is. And it also can't handle zips in multiple pieces.

You speak very confidently of things that happened long before you were born. If you actually read the article, I wouldn't have to spell this out for you. OSI was founded in 1998, and "open source" was a term coined in the 1980s.

I could form the Spaghetti Source Initiative tomorrow and claim that all open source code is now called Spaghetti Source, and you wouldn't give a shit about that, would you?

Stallman was a champion of open source software and free software (which were always two different things) long before OSI formed.

They can get forks taken down from legit places like GitHub, but this is the piracy community, isn't it?

Anyway, have you actually used the app? It's fucking amazing, it works flawlessly in my experience. I played with it for an hour and immediately gave them ten bucks, it's better than NewPipe, ReVanced, everything I've tried.

It's not open source.....but the source is open.

Have you used it? It's like NewPipe except that it's better in almost every way. The ONLY downside is that it's just old-fashioned open source instead of FOSS.
