  • I torrent a lot on Linux and use Qbittorrent. Surfshark has a great VPN on Linux.

    If you want to get into it then Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr and nzb360 ($10) with Jellyfin is a great stack to manage your library but needs a bit of work to set up. You can then use the phone to download and search and watch it with an android TV app.

    I had some issues setting it up with a ublue fedora immutable distro which are pretty non-existent on most standard distros.

  • Maybe but probably not. People that develop applications can save a major headache by choosing flatpaks so the ecosystem will gravitate towards it.

    At some point new applications that didn't launch a Linux version will do so but only on flatpak and older applications will start moving towards flatpaks since it's less dev time.

    It looks to me as inevitable that the best versions of an app will be a flatpak but if you're on Ubuntu based system you can probably get by for very long without them.

  • Does anyone know whether this is actually possible under the current treaty without unanimous approval of all member states? I know it fits with EU values but I'm not sure these matters are an EU competency (i.e. area EU can legislate)

  • I decided to read up on it since it looks a bit mental but once you know why it makes a lot of sense.

    Plasma is charged and needs to be contained with magnets because it'll melt anything it touches.

    To use the magnets uniformly on a donut shaped cloud of particles will cause the particles drift and hit the wall because the donut has particles traveling short distences close to the donut hole and long on the rim. The particle will eventually drift into the wall and destroy the reactor.

    So fuck it, squash the donut and twist it around and now all of parts of a cross section traveling around the donut are traveling equally long distance.

  • Jellyfin is not there yet but it definitely can be. It can be done pretty easily without any centralised server.

    1. Sending people magic links to their accounts on their phones that auto log them into Jellyfin.
    2. Make IP dictionary to have people type "cat mug door end" which pings the server with a login from an IP.
    3. Show QR code.
    4. Scan with an authorised app which pings the server to authorise the device on behalf of the user.

    It's passwordless 4 word input + phone scan that can be optimised for TV pretty heavily since you only need make something 10^12 unique to account for all IPv4.

    It will take around 15-30 hours to code though for a person familiar with Jellyfin on android TV and server.

  • I mean it's not that crazy if it saves you a trip to whatever store.

    Going to a single place to replace something can take an hour so we can subtract that. Getting paid $5 an hour for a fun activity is also an absolute steal.
