a PC is better because of 24/7 reliability, better cooling, no risk of laptop battery swelling, easy RAM and storage expandability, and low idle power consumption

On the other hand

• laptops are sometimes recommend due to the battery acting as a built-in UPS. That means the system should truly be reliable 24/7, even in the event of a power outage
• with that said, you want to ensure that whatever laptop model you’re looking at supports battery bypass charging so you don’t risk the battery swelling that you mentioned. If the battery is full while plugged in, if the laptop is still routing power through the battery, yeah, you risk swelling. But if the laptop is set up to pull power directly from the wall without going through the battery first (only switching to battery power in the event that it gets unplugged or whatever), it’s no different than a UPS battery
• some laptops cannot be upgraded at all, but memory/storage are the two most common upgrade paths for the many laptops that actually are able to by upgraded with standard SODIMM, NVMe, etc. Just make sure whatever laptop model you’re looking at can be upgraded
• laptops are specifically designed to have a low power consumption, so I’m not sure what that point is about. Unlike desktop PCs, which are supposed to be plugged into power 24/7, laptops are intended to be used on battery power most of the time, so they want to make them last as long as possible on battery power by optimizing power consumption through efficient chipsets and whatnot. So even if you use it plugged in, it should still use little energy compared to a desktop workstation

With that said

• a desktop will undoubtedly have better cooling. Laptop designers sure put a lot of effort into creating very smart cooling solutions that work very well, but physics is physics. Comparatively, desktops are larger and more often, leading to naturally better cooling
• if a laptop has upgradeable memory/storage, at best, it will probably only have two slots for each. On the other hand, with a desktop, you often have the ability to use four memory sticks and a dozen storage drives.

If it was free, I could imagine downloading it once to try it out. But I doubt I would ever run it again after trying it once. It doesn’t seem like a more interesting or efficient means of selecting content to watch or anything like that. I would also be wary about giving a closed-source program access to my media library.

But if it costed any fee, even just a one-time purchase of 1€, I wouldn’t be interested at all.

Anubis is open source under the MIT license. If the branding is an issue, fork it, change the branding, call it good.

People complained when the Tesseract dev did that. Though that response may have been emotionally charged due to what was also happening with Tesseract.

All these comments about the URL being unprofessional or whatever, and I am just now realizing what they mean by that. I saw anubis.techaro.lol and didn’t get what about that was unprofessional. Professional tools can be named after mythological beings, etc. It wasn’t until seeing your comment here that I realized lol may seem unprofessional or something.

If you already have Syncthing set up, yeah, it’s probably the simplest option. No need so install anything new, set up a new account somewhere, start a new Docker container, etc. I certainly haven’t tried all the options out there, but I don’t have any complaints about performance with this Joplin sync solution.

Certainly.

1. Set up Syncthing normally
2. Within the folder that you are synchronizing with Syncthing, create a new folder called joplin or something
3. In Joplin, set the synchronization target to your local filesystem. Point it to your joplin folder that you created in step 2

Most likely not just any arbitrary APK

Lepton is intended to help game developers bring their VR Android games to the Steam Frame. Other usecases are possible, but were not the focus of development and may lack polish.

From what I understand, if you try to launch a flat application, it attempts to launch it in VR mode which is screwy. It best, not a useable experience.

But maybe some day. This certainly lays the groundwork to allow that functionality eventually.

If I’m not mistaken Jellyfin is actually a fork of Emby so they’re pretty similar, but one is a bit older.

Jellyfin forked from Emby in 2018 when Emby chose to switch to a closed-source model. Because of this, there are many similarities, but the projects continue to become very different from one another as well over the years.
