Zulip is great, it’s very powerful and works well even when you rely on their hosting. The only issue I have with it is its ui could be better but its not something you can’t figure out. Search feature isn’t always the most reliable so that practise isn’t gonna work there.

Stop using mysql, you have postgres.

I use it to regularly push a new version of a PDF planner/calendar in December.

Get one of those miniPCs with the Intel N95 or Intel N100 chips. Install Kodi on Ubuntu or libreelec Install the jellyfin plugin and you’re good to go.

You can control it via one of those remotes on amazon with a USB dongle and it powers on the TV and the device.

You’ll have to install the artic theme on jellyfin and mess with the view options a bit for something more polished but once done it just works I’ve been using mine for 3 years and it’s been pretty solid.

IMO this is what ai should enable for more people. What did your brother provide you foundationally to make things easier?

How’s your experience been?

This… This is half of it haha

+1 for matrix. Also check out schlidichat which is a nice client for matrix forked from Element

God avoid SMR… (Unless you know what you’re doing in which case you wouldn’t be here)

Is it just you, any transcoding? Have you tried it without the USB drive?

My bad. What are you using the drives for?

So 2 HDDs one SATA and one via USB in RAID? Can you remove the RAID drives and test it out?

Also what size are the drives and what’s their capacity?

What kind of drives do you have in your RAID? Is it SMR?

All great advise, but you missed pray that you’re not the target of some 0 day exploit.

Oh yeah you dont need to do all that anymore. Most things work easy. I find that better cause i dont want to run anything outdated or unpatched in my local network. The stable base helps with that. My issue is when i need someone else to compile new version of software to create a package. I find that method on debian and ubuntu to be tedious.

i think of slackware as a distro that gives you the tools to build your own distro. Every slackware user seems to have their own unique workflows which is a double edged sword.

also yeah sometimes you wanna spend time with people i feel that. Congrats on the toddler!

I find building packages from source to be easier cause thats their preferred method for third party software.

i treat it as a stable base that i can build on top of.

You can use slackware current
