Also grew up spending a lot of time in front of screens, vision is 20/15

I mean imagine migrating to a new server. One of my server has like 30 containers. Now my outage is 3 hours instead of 45 mins.

I’m not complaining, however. It is a free service they are providing.

Signal is the only app on that list whose app is open source. That means it can be audited to see if they are telling the truth.

You cannot say the same for the others and you just have to take them at their word. Should we take Facebook at their word?

Of course. Relying on a lighter kills your ability to start a fire without one. Its nothing new.

What’s your hardware for your HTPC? Does hardware decoding work in Plex HTPC flatpak for you?

My wife and I use it to chat privately and I host synapse inside our LAN so im not federated. Works perfectly for that, but I’ve heard a lot of people have issues with large groups.

Yes I agree. I was just offering a counter to the statement that Vaultwarden isnt as safe as Bitwarden. They both are encrypted but my vaultwarden instance is a lot less likely to experience a breach than Bitwarden. The guys with real skill are going after Bitwarden not me.

Just to play devils advocate. Bitwarden.com is a much more valuable target. My instance is behind a VPN. I think its actually far more likely Bitwarden will have a breach similar to LastPass then I will. But I agree with you mostly.

Your not supposed to just trust it. Your supposed to test the solution it gives you. Yes that makes it not useful for some things. But still immensely useful for other applications and a lot of times it gives you a really great jumping off point to solving whatever your problem is.

I don’t believe those tools download directly from Spotify. They use the Spotify api to gather the metadata then they download the files off YouTube.

As I’ve seen others say, probably what you want to do is download them off Tidal or Quboz. Those YouTube rips suck.

I use a Beelink with an N100. Runs PopOs. I use Plex HTPC on it. Hardware decoding isnt working at the moment but it plays everything fine except HDR content so I’m avoiding that at the moment. Pass through audio work perfectly. I also stream sports on it, play mini games and roms with my kids using Lutris, and Moonlight for the more demanding games.

I used to use Kodi/LibreElec on it but that was such a miserable experience. Constant crashing and (3 or 4 times per day) inconsistent glitchy audio passthrough. The plex integration does mostly work but would also occasionally crash resulting in my stuff not syncing back to the server for days. Playback worked perfectly though.

Is that working better now? Every time I’ve turned it on in the past, half my devices lose connection.

it really just depends on what hardware you are on. For example my Dell pribter was plug and play on windows . It took me 6 hours to get it to work on Linux.
