He's an imbecile and knows nothing about tech. I watched him interconnect buildings then run Windows file transfer to test it. You know, instead of a legitimate tool like iperf. He constantly gets shit wrong about linux as others pointed out. Videos I saw on Android TV boxes were also extremely inaccurate so he could push Google's product. Like literally everything he does with linux and android is dumb as fuck. I thought at least he was accurate with the gaming industry videos as I don't know enough about it. But then that gamernexus video dropped and I was like holy shit... this guy can't do anything right.
It's better to setup ACLs instead of VLANs, VLANS can accomplish the goal, but that's not what they are meant for, whereas that is exactly what ACLs are meant for. I do this with all of my IoT devices. Not a single IoT device has access to WAN, yet I can still remotely access and control them all with a WireGuard tunnel that my phone autoconnects to as soon as I lose access to my WiFi.
It's crazy when you have to protect a device that you purchased from the manufacturer so you can use it the way you want. I'm in a similar situation with my Firesticks where I block them from updates. I have removed the shitty ad-infested default dashboard/launcher and put my own clean launcher on it. But Amazon began resetting it with updates and started blocking the ability to change it. The solution was to block the update servers domains to those devices on my network, I lose Prime Video and some other Amazon specific stuff, but it's worth it. I don't have a dogshit dashboard... I have a clean dashboard iwth only the apps I want: Kodi clients for my NAS, jellfyin client for my NAS, S0undTV, TiviMate, SmartTube... that's all I need, and all I want to see.
I setup Tasker to do it before there was any other options but now there are apps that will handle this. I've not tried them because my Tasker script works perfectly but I've noticed this one browsing f-droid and it looks appealing: WG Auto Connect - https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.marionoll.wgautoconnect/
It has the most sane defaults out of the box, and can literally run ciricles around GNOME as far as setting keyboard shortcuts. It's crazy you're so in love with the most neutered, asinine, uncustomizable DE in Linux and even admit how dogshit it is so why are we still discussing. You literally admitted it.
A synced copy of data doesn't protect against accidental file deletions... that is why RAID isn't a backup, that is why snapRAID isn't a backup, that is why syncthing is not a backup, that is why any kind of synced copy is not a backup. Let me know if you're still struggling with this VERY basic concept... that has had it's own little phrase parroted for decades, "RAID is not a backup."
Lmao, you even admit hoe dumb it is with the system tray. And you're wrong, I can have XFCE exactly hoe I want it in a matter of 15 minutes, using only the settings apps, and it will absolutely dog walk the workflows of GNOME.
You do realize that it actually does a lot more than that right which is what makes it a proper backup system, right? If all it did was sync a copy of data then it wouldn't be a proper backup. As I already pointed out, so let me know if I need to slow it down further for you.
You can't connect it temporarily?
My TV stays on the same input.
Why do so many people do this incorrectly. Unless you are actually serving a public then you don't need to open anything other than a WireGuard tunnel. My phone automatically connects to WireGuard as soon as I disconnect from my home WiFi so I have access to every single one of my services and only have to expose one port and service.
If you are going through setting up caddy or nginx proxy manager or anything else and you're not serving a public.... you're dumb.
What kind of shitty TV takes 30s to turn on? Ive never seen one take that long. Smart functions have literally nothing to do with how fast they turn on. In fact a lot of smart TVs, especially with Roku built in, don't even really ever power down completely, and when you press power the screen is on and ready almost instantly.
I mean... just don't connect it.
I also think Android has the best apps... SmartTube, Tivimate, and S0undTV can't be beat and have no good alternatives on other platforms. I run 4k firesticks that I blocked from updates long ago so I could have my own launcher/home screen instead of the ad riddled default one, but want to upgrade eventually. Been wondering lately how well AndroidTV on x86 runs... couldn't find anything on YouTube.
A copy of data isn't really a backup, that's also why RAID isn't a backup. You should have proper backups with something like borg or restic.
iOS users think the same way born from ignorance. But hey, if you don't mind inefficient workflows and an extreme lack of customization to fix that, then GNOME works.
What is it?
Oh, I get it! I just have to reprogram my brain to the GNOME way instead of the much more efficient way that I actually want!
Syncthing-fork has been recommended over Syncthing for the last few years. That's what I've been running for about that long with no issues. I like having access to a copy of the actual files on the NAS too which a borg backup doesn't provide unless you do an additional borg mount. Syncthin-fork does other things too, light keeping a keepass database synced on devices. But yeah, nothing syncthing can do over a scheduled rsync script... I just have not found that to be as reliable on Android as it is in Linux.
Syncthin-fork has never stopped working for me. I would notice because it also puts my pictures into a folder that gets read by immich and I often check immich to look at my photos. I run immich differently than intended where I don't do the photo backups with it. I only use it as a gallery client on my existing organized directory structure of images. It only has read only access.
My issue is he's a large channel and their videos are consistently inaccurate. I've never watched a video of his on linux or android or android tv and couldn't find numerous flaws. He is a huge channel with a lot of influence and he's prioritized pumping out inaccurate videos instead of doing the due diligence and research. I feel with as large of a channel he has and as much influence he has, he has a responsibility. Instead he's doing the tech community as a whole harm. Literally every video I've seen from him regarding linux or android was extremely inaccurate or missing beneficial information. I always wrote it off as he's just a gamer bro and that's more his niche but then the gamernexus video dropped and showed he was even getting that wrong. LTT has done more harm to the tech community on YouTube than any other channel.
