Youtube Music ReVanced should be good, it’s the legacy of Youtube Music Vanced, which has served me well for years, even after its takedown.

Yeah I know I should, and it’s on my list, but I haven’t changed it yet lol. I’m making it work like this and if I can stretch it until they replace it for a more capable model, that’s money that I don’t have to spend on it.

250 active connections is the limit with my ISP provided router. You can get beyond that, but it causes a lot of instability, and eventually, the network fails and the router reboots.

On another note, I don’t limit my bandwidth at all and I’ve managed to get uploads/downloads of up to 142% the speed which I should get.

Not really, at least not because of the data access. Drives mainly die because of their age.
SSDs will basically not degrade by reading them, they only degrade when you write to them.
HDDs can get degraded because of data access, but most HDD deaths are caused by bearing failures or head crashes, which are more of a matter of power-on hours.

What all of this means is that if you already kept your device on 24/7, your drives aren’t gonna degrade noticeably faster by having your torrent client accessing them all the time.

You don’t get warnings in Spain, I have never seen one or met anyone who saw one. And I have seeded hundreds of TiB of linux ISOs from a home computer.

Yeah it sounds so bizarre to me… What do you mean your ISP is constantly snooping all your encrypted traffic or trying to de-anonimize you by making undercover peers? That doesn’t sound very net neutral…

There is scripting on them, and afaik it’s actually javascript. It’s a limited version of it (the actual specification was supposed to allow for data sending and receiving, and complete arbitrary code), but it’s enough to run code. A madlad has ported doom and linux to PDF, and you can fully run them on a compliant enough pdf viewer.

(My bad, I wanted to reply to a higher post, but I’m gonna leave this here cuz federation is sometimes weird with deleted comments)

Blender was made for Linux, the compatibility issues happen with windows (they’re still really rare, blender is an amazing program).

Dunno about houdinifx, I don’t know that software.

And I’m assuming you mean Unreal Engine with ue, in which case, game engines not only should work on every platform but they’re especially tested on linux cuz many developers use Linux.

As long as you are in some way connected to the same network as the TV (by cable, wifi, black magic…) you can use jellyfin.

I haven’t used it yet, nor any other ChatGPT based technology.

The only AI I’ve used is Google Gemini (pretty similar to ChatGPT), and it’s been for completing assignments in a way that makes clear I don’t wanna do them, because it’s still pretty noticeable when you use AI for anything.

Nah they just spend too much money on lawyers so they need them to always be doing something.

Dunno why it’s down, could be them forgetting to renew the domain or another issue. I don’t think that was on purpose.

However, owner and devs are using the downtime to change some infrastructure internally, and that’s why it hasn’t come back up yet.

ETA for recovery last tuesday was ~a week, so I’m guessing it will be back up soon.

Oh lord please have mercy! Blacklisting the file extension right now!

Perhaps even attomanagement

When you’re connected to a webpage for 40+ minutes you’re being exposed to all kinds of info stealers, trackers, cryptominers, etc.

If you just check what you’re downloading is an mkv, you are pretty much risk free.

It’s not even coffee. It’s artificial sweeteners with a bit of sugar and some more sweeteners.

I dunno. But if AirPlay works by sending your screen over wifi, it might be a bandwidth issue. Streaming video from youtube to your phone and then from your phone to a TV can be quite intensive, especially with modern phones being 1080p or more, which takes more bandwidth to stream to a TV. I’ve had this problem on a slow wifi on Android, and there’s not much you can do to fix it besides upgrading your router.

However, it doesn’t mean that’s exactly what is happening here. Certainly someone could be throttling video quality on purpose and we wouldn’t really have a way to prove it. With how shady and monopolistic big tech companies are, I wouldn’t put it past any of them (google and apple)

B-but capitalism breeds innovation!
