It supports HDMI CEC so I just use the remote that came with my TV
- Comment on Jellyfin Dongle 3 days ago:
It’s a little bulkier than a Chromecast but for my TV at home I use a Raspberry Pi 5 with Konstakang’s Android TV LineageOS images installed. It works pretty well and I could see it being fairly portable.

Thank you for your work on this! I switched from Tempo to Tempus after seeing one of these updates a few weeks ago. It’s great to this is being maintained!

Wish I could opt out of having LinkedIn entirely. It makes me so annoyed that so many jobs require you to have it in order to apply

It might be too late for you, but for anyone else who stumbles across this:
The easiest way to transfer emails is just log into a client like Thunderbird, let it download them all, select all, then drag and drop them all to your new provider. If you have a lot of historic emails, filter by year and do one year at a time

Pretty sure Wikipedia has a single button that changes all present tense to past sense. Someone who’s more familiar with it correct me if I’m wrong though.
- Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack 2 months ago:
I scrobble all my navidrome activity to listenbrainz, which gives a weeks playlist of recommendations. You might have to wait a few weeks before it can establish your tastes depending on how much music you play.

- Comment on What's your thoughts on this? 3 months ago:
Data centers use massive amounts of power. Reducing that power consumption would be a net positive on the environment.
That said, looking at the site, I can’t see anything that suggests they’ve done any research into that. Instead they seem to be promoting their research into keeping kids safe online, with the only mention of the OSA being a short description in their recent June report with no comment about anything to do with it’s obvious shortcomings.

- Comment on Games Where Nothing Happens (SPOILERS for various game plots) 3 months ago:
Most people wish that game could be erased from the timeline IRL too
- Comment on Which of theses games should i play? 3 months ago:
The server should still support mods fine. You’ll need to find a launcher that supports your OS, your mods and drasl-based authentication.
Texture packs will be fine, you can change them in game
- Comment on Which of theses games should i play? 3 months ago:
Something that may influence your decision: Minecraft by default requires a Microsoft account.
Look into Drasl if you want to set up a Minecraft server without needing one

Does this mean they’ll finally be adding calls to the web version?

- Comment on What else should I self-host? 4 months ago:
I’m no expert, but I read that self hosting your own instance doesn’t actually help with privacy since the search providers still track those requests and if you’re the only one using it, that’s just tracking you with extra steps.
Of course if you use a public instance, you have to then trust that the instance isn’t tracking you

Hmm funny how Sam Altman is one of the few people responsible for creating that problem and now he’s selling the solution to it

This is the business on Google Maps if anyone wants to leave them a nice 1 star review
Google probably tracks the link reviews are coming from to detect review bombing though, not sure if we can find a way around that.
(Note: a previous, now deleted, comment I posted contained a link to the wrong business, please don’t use that link if you still see it for some reason)
- Comment on how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days? 5 months ago:
I worked around that by making a smart playlist in Navidrome with all my tracks sorted by date added. In Tempo you can then download the entire playlist.
- Comment on how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days? 5 months ago:
I have just set up Navidrome from the first time and I’m using Feishin as my Linux desktop client. I installed it via nix because it isn’t in the Fedora repos as far as I could tell
- Comment on Docker is renaming a mounted drive 5 months ago:
It sounds to me like one (or more) of your containers is referencing something on your storage drive, but Docker is loading before your drive gets mounted. When Docker sees that the folder its trying to access doesn’t exist, it creates it, blocking your drive from taking that name.
To fix it, you would need to make sure your storage drive is mounted before Docker starts, how you do that is down to you and your particular setup though.

- Comment on UK to ban sale of disposable vapes in response to soaring waste and safety risks 5 months ago:
I’m not sure if this ban is actually going to work. I’ve heard rumors that manufacturers of these are just going to start putting USB ports on them and making them technically “refillable” with no plans to actually really support that so people will keep treating them as disposable anyway.
- Comment on How I use Pinchflat to avoid podcast ads 5 months ago:
I’ve had a pipeline in mind for exactly this purpose that I want to build when I get around to it:
- Download the audio file from RSS feed
- Self hosted AI transcription model (with output that includes timestamps)
- Self hosted LLM to recognise ad sections and return the start and end timestamps as json
- ffmpeg to slice those timestamps out and stitch the rest back together
In theory, this should be able to remove ad and sponsor sections of any length completely automatically and there’s nothing to stop it working on videos too

- Comment on What's a good HTPC OS and software? 5 months ago:
I’ve found Android TV to be the most usable TV OS tbh. I use Konstakang’s LineageOS Android TV 15 image on a Pi 5 which is source available (non commercial only licence). And Projectivy Launcher (closed source but is by an indie dev and better than the stock Google one). The Pi is CEC compatible so I can control it with my TV remote no problem, and I use Moonlight to stream games from my PC.
If you already have hardware, there may be an Android x86 TV release somewhere but I haven’t personally tested any, and you have to make sure the apps you want support x86 (all the open source ones like Jellyfin should)
