Yeah that looks cool. I will give it a closer look tomorrow :)

Cool, I’ll check this out. Always a bit of a ball ache when I need to access the server while lying in and too lazy to get up. Using vim on a phone is always an adventure in patience.

Oh, that’s actually good to know. I guess it makes sense for when you don’t have a good connection as well.

Same. Self hosting it sounds nice, and I self host a handful of services, but I don’t want to be stuck without passwords in another country with a dead server at home because a power cut happened at some point.

Compared to something multi threaded, yes. But there are obviously a number of bottlenecks that might diminish the gains of a multi threaded program.

Oh I’ve actually heard of Pluto.tv and watched it somewhere.

I’m not trying to make a point, I’m just curious how many this impacts and so on. I imagine it will go down similar to Netflix account sharing crackdown; generally viewed unfavourably, but will convert enough users to pay for it to be worth it.

How is Plex used if you aren’t using it to stream your self hosted media? I remember seeing channels and such before. Is all the official stuff licensed content? I can’t imagine their offering is very competitive.

Most recommended cameras are from China unfortunately. While I would prefer to not support them economically, they seem fine security wise.

No Hikvision from Amazon, good shout as I was looking at some of them there.

Oh, that might prove a bit difficult on a Linux machine. I guess I’ll have to borrow my room mates computer :P

Thanks for the shout about Frigate’s documentation. There’s a lot of good information on there!

I’ve used Zotify. It downloads from Spotify directly in .ogg format. It fails a bit here and there, so requires you to watch that everything actually downloaded, but it beats any random YouTube quality video other programs would find otherwise.

Thanks for asking, made me go look again. I had mixed up Lemmy.world owner Ruud and the creator of Lemmy itself and admin of lemmy.ml. Ruud seems chill, lemmy.ml less so.

There’s a bit of choice paralasys when joining Lemmy. Even if you know how the fediverse works you won’t have knowledge of the culture and relationships of different instances.

I joined Lemmy.world because it advertises itself as the vanilla flavour of the fediverse, so it makes it an easy pick for someone like me who didn’t quite understand how it all hangs together.

But I do agree with you, and I’m looking to migrate after some concerning things have come up about the lemmy.world owner.

Edit: confused the owner of lemmy.world and lemmy.ml.
