I've never had good luck with NFS on a high latency connection. SSHFS still works fine even if the server is on the other side of the planet.

SSHFS is secure and works well over the internet. If you only want to access it over the LAN, then NFS is a much better option.

The trick is to use autodl-irssi or autobrr to download the torrent the second it gets added to the tracker. As long as you have a very fast internet connection, you will usually be over 1:1 before it finishes downloading.

That's the word of this decade.

There's also a PPA if you don't want to use a flatpak. Just be sure to uninstall it before upgrading to Mint 23 to avoid any issues.

yt-dlp is a fork of youtube-dl, which was released in 2006.

Yes, a used PC can work great for a home server. Just don't go too old or it will be power hungry. Obviously you will want one with an integrated GPU to save power too. If you want to run jellyfin, make sure it supports hardware video encoding, preferably AV1 or H.265.

Any Japanese made surround sound receiver and speakers than you can pick up from a thrift store or craigslist will sound way better than the modern junk. It will have a big, heavy power transformer and linear amplifiers. There will be no internet connected spyware either. If you find one from the 90's, it will likely have a phono preamp for your record player too.

Did they ever fix the GPIO issue?

There's also a qBittorrent search plugin for it, so you don't even need to open the website.

It should play in VLC or MPV, but HDR looks like crap on a regular monitor. Even after tone mapping, it will never look as good as something filmed in SDR.

I hope lots of people will post videos of them destroying the listening devices in interesting ways.

It's never worked for me either. The ClearURLs addon has a function to copy a clean URL and that works great though. It's open source, so maybe someone could turn its cleaning function into a program that could be used for the clipboard.

The majority of their users are bots, which don't care how they are treated.

Just flip the switch on the back of the power supply after shutting down the computer or turn off the UPS.

OCR makes a lot of mistakes, so unless someone bothered to go through and correct them, it's only really useful for searching for keywords.

If they wanted to do that, they would have added a filter to hide games with kernel level anti cheat from the store.

What would they use it for? The 2.5 seconds of latency would be too high for most uses. Cooling will be very difficult with no atmosphere. Solar power will be hard since night time lasts two weeks. Radiation will damage electronics unless they bury them.

Be sure to use constant quality mode too. Set the RF to around 16-18 for SD video when using x264 or x265. The lower you set it, the higher the quality is.

Nice, now your computer is mining crypto for someone else or part of a botnet.
