Ohh what a neat page! I was unaware, thank you!
It won't block them, but I started to feel like recently DDG's results were awful. I couldn't find simple things. I've switched to startpage and had a much better experience. The results feel more aligned with what I want and I feel like there's less crap. Its probably confirmation bias hah, but its working.
If you're into micro managing an empire and freedom it really is a great game. Its a bit janky but it has charm. Itll never feel like the game is forcing you in any direction. You can easily just fly through space mining rocks if you wanted.
For locally hosted LLMs maybe? They eat a ton of VRAM.
He said, not leaving strangers alone.
Oh yeah, I didn't take it that way, no worries.
They come and go though. Usually there's a solution pretty fast when it happens.
I believe they tend to roll these out in batches. It creates less uproar than hitting everyone at once.
I just got the same warning on FF with uBlock. Both Freetube and NewPipe seem to be fine though. I guess Freetube it is until uBlock is patched.
Edit: Also, glad I'm not the only human watching Grossi's videos today lol.
I never thought I'd miss xlookup... But here I am. Calc isn't bad, I hate the ui but that may just be years of excel muscle memory getting to me. But calc does 99% of what I need it to. The rest of libreoffice I never touch.
don’t feel comfortable with you using it to speak to or about us
This actually is relevant, but wasn't part of your initial statement. If you don't like people using the term to refer to you then people should absolutely make an effort to not use that term when referencing you.
Saying there's some mental gymnastics on my part is a bit of stretch, it's how the word is defined in the dictionary. All I needed was to read. There's no disrespect here, if you don't like it then using the term to refer to you would be disrespectful, but I haven't done so.
I don't see the issue with using the term "guys" in the plural when referring to a group regardless of sex. That would align with the definition of the word. I'm pretty sure that's how they meant it.
Thank you. This is more aligned with what I was hoping for. I wanted a way to access these services but still lock the device down as much as I can. Thank you for sharing.
Actually this is a more clear idea of what I was looking for. A device I could get these apps on and still have control over the device.
Thank you for the tips! This seems like it may be a good option.
Was actually unaware of SmartTube. Looks like it may cover that part for me :). I had also never heard of LineageOS, I'll take a look there too. I have a Pi4 laying about I was going to use.
As for FireTV I may just end up going that rout, I was just curious what the options looked like. Thank you for taking the time to enlighten me :).
Actually hadn't though of this. Thank you!
I do have a pi-hole set up, but alas it won't stop YT ads.
Media Center Question - Jellyfin/Steam/YT
Evening Lemmy,
I have run into a small hiccup in my self-hosting journey. Youtube on my TV in the living room has ads... and they become more unbearable by the day. To that end, I'd like to set up a Raspberry Pi (Or something) to run as a one-stop for media. Ideally, I'd like it to have YouTube (Or more likely NewPipe/FreeTube), Steam Link and access to my Jellyfin instance. More ideally, I'd like this to be controllable with a controller (TV Remote, Steam controller, doesn't matter). The reason for the latter is that I'd rather not create too much trouble for my wife when she uses the TV.
I've done some looking, and I seem to be able to get an Amazon Firestick to run NewPipe, and Jellyfin, and maybe even the Steam Link but from the stories I've read it's... less than ideal. So, I was hoping there may be an alternative.
The goal is to get all three in one system, with decently user friendly functionality.
Has anyone set something similar up, and could you point me in a direction
Bold of you to assume that you're not the one in the mirror.
Exactly! Pirate Software talked about this a while back. Steam doesn't want you cutting them out, and then them still being responsible for the bandwidth to download and host your game.
Linux Sound Device Manager
I've recently switched my primary PC to Linux (Specifically POP_OS). Overall the experience has been incredible. Far less difficult than I feared.
One area that has been a constant annoyance is sound device management. The abilities to independently set volumes by program, and switch between sound devices easily (as opposed to going into settings every time) have eluded me. Perhaps I'm just missing something, but my assumption is that there's a packaged solution for this. I've looked around and seen a few recommendations for pavucontrol, but wanted to check here and see what other people use and why. I'm open to suggestions.
First Real Self Host Setup question
So I finally finished gathering the hardware for my first real homelab. I currently have a pi that I run nginx, searxng, and pihole, but I'm looking to move to something more hefty. I'll probably leave pihole and nginx on the pi. I'm wanting to set up plex to host things for home use as well as a way to store photos, Documents, etc locally. Ideally my friends and I play games like valheim and icarus and I would like to be able to use a vm or container to host game servers when needed.
My hardware currently consists of an amd 4650g pro, 16gig ddr4, amd a520 mobo and 2 1tb m2s.
My question is I'm considering setting up proxmox for this but I wanted to see advice before I go to far. Is there a more preferred option? I'm not too hung up on cost but ideally I don't want anything to run through like a host page off my network or something. And I would like something that will allow me to expand storage since 2tb isn't really a lot
Pi-Hole and Searxng Question
Hey all,
I'm relatively new to self hosting. I set up a SearxNG on my local network and then recently set up Pi-Hole. Searx is running in a docker container and Pi-Hole is not. However, after setting up Pi-hole the IP I use to connect to Searx now directs to the default the default placeholder page. So my Pi-hole runs on 192.168.0.19/admin and Searx used to run just on 192.168.0.19. I'm guessing there's a config somewhere that I can change to make both work at once I'm just not sure where. Google was less than helpful (or maybe I'm an idiot lol) so I was hoping someone here may have run into a similar issue.
Search Engine Privacy
I've recently learned that DDG does not follow its own guidelines for privacy. I'm curious what search engines people here would recommend. I would prefer a search engine that not only respects my privacy but also doesn't hide or shadow ban content it doesn't like. Any recommendations?
