  You can either describe what you want, or show a picture of a haircut that you like.

  You could setup imapsync and sync your Gmail to a self hosted IMAP server and just never delete your mails.

  Does anyone know if there is a way to use mythtv as a TV backend for jellyfin?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any MythTV Users Here?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used it back in the day when I still had analog Cable TV and a digital capture card. MythTV was a pain in the ass to setup. The UI was horrible and if you were trying to setup satellite, it could get really complicated if you didn’t know what you were doing.

  That being said, MythTV is probably hands down the best digital recorder I’ve ever used. Like for LiveTV it sucks, because channel switching takes ages until it’s built a recording buffer. This might be less of an issue on SSDs now, like I said I haven’t used in ages. But MythTV had some of the best features in terms of scheduling recordings, avoiding conflicts and skipping commercials.

  Once I started using MythTV, I stopped watching live TV entirely. Since I simply just recorded stuff I was interested in.

  I’ve used MythTV, TVheadend and NextPVR. MythTV has the best recording features. TVheadend in combination with Kodi has the fastest channel switching, which is great if you just want to channel hop. NextPVR is decent and IMHO the easiest to setup out of the three. But is lacking in certain areas.

  Sure, somebody has to keep an eye on AI. (Pun intended).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Street Fighter Vs Mortal Kombat⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I always loved Tekken more, because a good match between skilled players looked like something out of a choreographed kung Fu movie.

  At least up to the PS2 era. It was also slower paced so you had to be more strategic. I always thought all the little character story movies were a lot of fun. SF feels very bare bones in comparison. But I stopped paying attention a while ago. MK had a distinguishing gimmick with the fatalities, but the general character design never meshed well with me.

  Do you have a NAS at home with enough storage? You could use wireguard to setup a vpn tunnel, then mount your NAS’s storage on your vps via nfs and using cachefilesd. If your upload speed is sufficient, this can work pretty well without too much waiting for a stream to start.

  That’s a trend that needs to die. I blame MacBook airs and ultrabooks for this nonsense.

  Laughs in ThinkPad running Linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a way to know how much i am spending/going to spend with Amazon S3?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Short answer, no. Nobody knows. At least not unless you can accurately predict exactly how many API calls and how much data you will transfer.

  Serbia is relatively easy to emigrate to. Getting a passport is not that big of a deal there.

  If you have a big screen TV and a good sound system, I would say no.

  I use mailcow for self hosting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting the mutant home server gaming in a VM (Proxmox as a Home Server)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I usually shy away from VMs because I have to dedicate a fixed amount of resources, e.g. ram.

  I tend to rely on docker or bare metal services on a server. But I don’t use a server for gaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting the mutant home server gaming in a VM (Proxmox as a Home Server)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I missing something here? Why use a VM for gaming?

  I’ll take Linux with proton any day over all that faffing with windows and a GPU pass through.
