Same. Haven’t had the need for full blown VMs at all. Passing through the iGPU for transcoding took a bit of time to figure out, but works great. I do have an Arch LXC container for some apps without a deb repository, though, to keep them updated through AUR.

What about Nokia 8010 or RockTek G2? Been looking at one of these as a jellyfin client, but also retain the possibility of using streaming apps. Otherwise I’d probably throw kodi on a intel N100 based box (some of these can be had fairly cheap)

Yeah, good point. It’s not a clear-cut black and white issue after all, and currently absolutely tilted towards the lobbyists/big media

My thoughts exactly, thanks for writing this comment. The discourse in here is a bit one-sided

Good point on not pirating and promoting the alternatives. Didn’t occur to me that a user pirating is one less user for competing products or free software

Man, what an echo chamber of anti-corporation and anti-copyright sentiments. I pirate myself, because the services for tv/movies are not convenient, but I don’t delude myself into thinking it’s somehow justified. If I could get any movie or series on demand like spotify I wouldn’t pirate (if I could afford it). I fail to see how anything else would be ethical to the creators of the content.

Trying to find something to watch on Netflix was exhausting. Basically looking up every show on the mobile for imdb rating / rotten score etc to see if its worthwhile. I don’t watch that much TV, so I’m not going to binge any crappy show or movie

I was curious and looked up the origins of ‘ham’. Apparently it originates from “ham-fisted” describing second-rate morse-code skills of telegraphists before radio was a thing

Gah, this is the reason I havent set up nextcloud. Cant tweak the all in one docker thing to my needs, and a manual install cant easily be updated. Too much hassle when I just want to use nextcloud memories

Torguard has worked well for me
