Microsoft is not freedom. It's vendor locking.

I didn't pre order. I waited for review embargo to lift, then I bought it today.

This isn't "early access", this is Bethsda squeezing money out of game pass subscribers

If you're looking for a round about solution, you can use whatever IPTV provider and link it to your Jellyfin.

This only makes any sense if you're already using Jellyfin, of course

My phone is 2 years old for me. I bought a oneplus 8 refurb in 2020 for Christmas. Unlocked and outright. I got it because my Galaxy S9 before that was Verizon locked, and I just got off my parent's phone plan. Verizon is very expensive.

I'll still use my old phone from time to time. Mainly for dual account Pokemon Go, or plug it up to a TV to watch something that doesn't support cast, like Newpipe.

I'll keep this phone as long as I can. It's on its last update, though. I'll use LineageOS when I can.

Browsers will never have a higher requirement. It's the particular websites that will use newer technologies that older browsers may not support.

It may not be a mainline browser, but there's no reason you couldn't grab a new browser made to allow your currently out of date phone to use newer features, or at least the features your phone supported at launch. A cursory search on fdroid showed at least 1 browser with a requirement of android 4.4+.

The main thing to remember is that every website doesn't take more power or newer technologies than the last. It's only very specific situations where anything will need more power than something had 5 years ago. 99% of my apps could run on anything probably just fine. Email, Music, Audiobooks, VPN, 2FA etc. Most of those probably have security checks requiring a minimum OS version. Meaning they would actually work for longer on a phone with longterm OS updates than a phone that's much stronger.

With the obvious exception being games. But I would never recommend thinking long term about games in any circumstance.

This is weird to me because I used to have go to lan parties at my friend Owen's house

Fun fact. The Wii 2 was called the Wii u because the Japanese word for 2 is 'ni'.

Required memory 2GB? I have a Thinkpad T420. I'll be installing this soon.

Turns out they work, and this is the solution I used. Thank you very much

Exactly as right as half of Americans

You wouldn't pirate a pirate, would you?

Debian is great for my server.

I use MX, based on Debian, for my laptop so I only have to remember 1 update command.

My laptop is ancient, and I'm not getting any more out of it than I'm getting with MX

I run everything through Picard, personally.

My main music source is deemix. Flac with perfect tags

Back up the stuff you wouldn't want to have to do again. I back up my music thrice, and don't back up my movies or TV unless it's particularly rare or hard to find. I back up my nginx configs, and my apps folders, with all the docker configs and app files, manually. Every couple of weeks, since having a slightly out of date version isn't that bad.

That would explain where the pyramids came from.

The correct answer is to assume their encryption doesn't work and encrypt it yourself. This is true for all cloud storage. Use something like veracrypt.

Walk the plank

Good luck. Reach out if it gives you problems.

Don't put your jellyfin inside of your gluetun container

Have you looked into gluetun? It has killswitch by design where the connection does not occur without a valid VPN.

It's very nice. I'll be happy to elaborate if you need me to.

I assume it all works on arm, I haven't specifically checked.

I figured you wanted a 4th person telling you to use Gluetun. The biggest advantage is that it can run anything through the VPN. Not just the torrent client, but also radarr, sonarr, slskd, etc
