People into Jellyfin use smart TVs? I haven’t connected mine to the internet.

What have you tried to find an instance? Looks like PeerTube.wtf has open registration.

Far Cry 3 is what got me into FPS. Cyberpunk is also, of course, great.

I used NGINX with Certbot and haven’t had to manually touch anything HTTPS, it’s great.
- Comment on Installing **self-hostable** services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ??? 6 days ago:
You can still go to your mom’s house and get your data, unlike if you’re renting a VM.
I’m also completely not arguing that renting a VM isn’t self hosting, I’m certain I’ve said nothing of the sort, I’m just arguing that it’s worse than owning your hardware and data.
- Comment on Installing **self-hostable** services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ??? 6 days ago:
That’s not really the point I’m trying to make, I’m not sure where this disconnect is coming from.
The question you should be asking is whether or not I can more easily access my home than a data center, to which the answer would be yes.
If the entire world disappeared aside from the plot of land I live on, well, I’d have larger issues, but I would still be able to access my data, until the generator ran out of gas of course.
To answer the question you did ask that, again, is not relevant to the point I’m trying to make, is yes. I work from home, and live in America where we don’t have third places. Additionally, most of the services I self host are home automation and data backup based. Sure, I wouldn’t be able to access Immich or Home Assistant while away from home, which would be annoying, but the end of the world? Not really. A lot of people intentionally don’t make their HA/Immich instances visible to the internet.
- Comment on Installing **self-hostable** services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ??? 6 days ago:
I’m not sure what the disconnect is here. In both scenarios I’m reliant on an ISP. In the scenario where it’s on a data center, if my internet goes down or the data center goes down, I am shit out of luck. I am not capable of accessing my data. If it’s hosted at my house, I still have the ability to go home and access my stuff. One seems much better than the other to me. It’s the difference between being able to access your stuff and not.
- Comment on Installing **self-hostable** services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ??? 6 days ago:
Sure, but if stuff goes really south, I can still access the stuff on my hardware from my home. If stuff goes down, I cannot access the stuff in data centers, period.
- Comment on Installing **self-hostable** services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ??? 1 week ago:
This feels like a bad faith argument. If the internet goes down, I will be able to access my servers and my data. If those services were hosted in the cloud, I wouldn’t not be able to access my data at all. Obviously one is better than the other.

That’s true I suppose. The only thing I can think of is check deposits. I only do that like once per year, so I could just go to the ATM or use an old Android device.
- Comment on Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores 1 week ago:
Exactly, which is why not having to checkout at all would be nice.
- Comment on Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores 1 week ago:
Because I’d rather be doing anything else at home that I can’t do while in line at the grocery store.
- Comment on Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores 1 week ago:
The issue isn’t self check or in person or whatever for me, it’s having to wait in a line at all. Being able to just walk out takes so much less time than checking out.
- Comment on Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores 1 week ago:
For me, it isn’t the interactions, it’s the inconvenience of having to wait in line and either wait for a checker to scan my items or scan them myself at self checkout. I don’t mind small talk with the checker, but faster grocery trips would be awesome.

I’ve yet to try a Linux Touch distro on a phone, but couldn’t you just save a shortcut to the website?

If they’re up 150% and it was 1000 before, it’d now be 2500. Your point still stands, of course.

USPS > UPS > Amazon/DHL/etc > FedEx
If Amazon is doing better than you at serving the customer, you need to look deep inwards.

Interesting, I’ll have to play around with that.

I do, temperatures are often below freezing in the winter.
- Comment on Electric motorcycles with solid-state batteries seem to be coming soon. 4 weeks ago:
I wasn’t saying it was a common thing to see others riding (which it is, as long as there isn’t snow on the road), I was just saying people who ride aren’t rich just because they own a motorcycle, and that it’s possible to ride in the winter.
I’m not sure what your point is about Asian countries, I am aware that two wheeled vehicles are a means of transportation.
- Comment on Electric motorcycles with solid-state batteries seem to be coming soon. 4 weeks ago:
Sucks in a fun way if you’re a certain type of person. I’ve ridden through a lightning storm where my motorcycle couldn’t go past 55mph due to a headwind. It was exciting, and super fun.
- Comment on Electric motorcycles with solid-state batteries seem to be coming soon. 4 weeks ago:
TIL I’m rich because I own a $2000 motorcycle, and that it’s only a toy for use in the summer. I can’t believe that someone just mansplained riding motorcycles in poor weather. Rain gear and insulated clothing has existed for a long time.

Anyone looking to set this up should note that the instructions are slightly incorrect, the URL when adding the repository must be updated to the new repository location, there’s a PR for the change.
Additionally, I’ll mention that it just didn’t work for me, whereas owntracks worked flawlessly. The errors it provided were of little help, so I’m not sure why it wasn’t working. I’m planning to continue using owntracks for now.

Hi, this looks awesome. I just got it set up, and it’s working great, however I cannot get the Immich integration to work. Here’s the error I get when I paste in the domain and the freshly created API key. I’ve tried the API key with all permissions as well as with only the required permissions.
Connection failed: I/O error on POST request for “https://my.immich.domain/api/auth/validateToken”: my.immich.domainAny ideas of troubleshooting steps I could try? Thanks for sharing such a cool tool.

I must assume you’re talking about LG and Apple laptops both.

I believe the gram is know to have decent build quality. I’m sure it doesn’t compare to an M series Mac when it comes to performance and battery life, but at least I could put Linux on it.
