I think it has some sort of binary already in the archive. There’s a “start-tor-browser.desktop” you just double click to launch the browser.

I dont have a library that big, but I would recommend trying the Feishin desktop player if using navidrome. It’s a solid player in my experience, and has a smart playlist creator UI which the navidrome webui does not include.

This; Linuxserver Qbittorrent docker with gluetun to make sure all traffic goes through your VPN.

Thanks, I’ll check them out.

Thanks, I’ll take a look. Syncing is nice, but I’ll see how it fits!

Does anyone have current recommendations for an alternative to nextcloud file syncing/sharing?

I use it only for the below:

• synchronize some files/folders between some of my devices
• share files/folders with friends who don’t have an account; either with no password/account, or a password set at time of sharing
  • temporary/timed sharing so it is eventually no longer shared is nice, but not required
• use its webui like dropbox to upload files to my server from random machines (or download them)

And for that, nextcloud seems to be overkill.

I don’t see a lot of love here for the ESPP, so I’ll add my perspective. If your company is not prone to large fluctuations, then a quicksale with 15% discount is usually a good investment (if locking your money up for 6 months isn’t a problem).

Even without the min of start/end, it’s giving you a very good shot at 15% benefit for an average investment of ~3 months (your initial contributions are held for 6 months, but your most recent st ourchase for weeks). I don’t know of any investment that can fairly confidently return near 15% in 3 months.

So long as you are confident in your stock, my strategy is:

• contribute to the espp
• quicksale
• withdraw the money (set aside some for taxes if necessary) and invest it into index (assuming all bills/debts are paid off)

Yes, it is taxed as short term gain this way, but your salary/other stock incentives/insurance are likely already tied to your employer, and holding it a year is riskier than quicksale

This is the way

Symfonium on mobile Feishin on PC

I text my buddy, and say “hey do you wanna watch xyz, when you’re done with work?”. We hop on discord to chat and watch it. An hour or two timezone is not an issue, and for someone ‘local’ I’m probably not driving half an hour to their house after work. I do prefer watching together in-person, but thats not always as convenient.

Probably around 40% of my watching is via syncplay on Jellyfin, as I like watching with buddies.

Sans jellyfin you have to find a way for both of you to access the same file/stream and manually sync across snack/bathroom breaks or use the external and separate syncplay app.

I do like the external syncplay app but if I’m going to have to get the file to them anyways, why not just stream it synced? In my mind this is a really convenient feature.

It is not perfect, in my experience;

• on rare occasions, it gets ‘stuck’ and won’t sync correctly, so one will play but noth the other, pausing one unpauses the other, etc. Usually rebooting helps, but if not, I just manually sync
• there was 1 occassion which made no sense. I played a movie with a friend, we were watching together, but they were ahead of me by a whole ~15 minutes by the end of the film. Neither of us felt it was fast/slow or skipping anything.
• I haven’t had luck using syncplay on my TV. The feature exists but it doesn’t actually work.

But these are rare, minor gripes IMO. I’m glad Jellyfin has this feature.

I believe grayjay has a desktop app now. I think it may still be in testing, though.

Semi-related, but several years ago I had a good experience getting my audiobooks from audible with https://github.com/rmcrackan/Libation

It says it downloads songs from your Spotify playlist using youtube. Granted its not dling from spotify, but it is downloading the things you indicate on Spotify.

Not positivr, but the FAQ says its a delta chat client, and delta chat indicates you could host your own chatmail - so, hopefully.

Proof-of-storage based cryptocurrency. The article says when it became non-profitable, the drives were reset so their smart stats would appear new, and sold them as such.

Edit:

FWIW, site says you can check the FARM values with smartctl -l farm /dev/sda if you do have a Seagate drive.

Honestly, not sure. What you did looks close to what I’d expect reading the airvpn doc.

1. Is port 6881 something unrelated? I think only local ports go there (e.g. your webui)

2. obviously make sure you set the forwarded port in qbittorrent, then maybe try some external tool like ipleak.net which can give you a magnet link you can put in qbittorrent to see the reported geo location. Not sure if that perfectly vets the port you intend to use, though.

3. glueten->gluetun in depends_on

If you attach to your docker as you launch, you might see some helpful output from either qbittorrent or gluetun (I think the “-it” flags

allows the running of a script whenever the VPN changes port (see PR https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/pull/2399).

That’s an unknown, but welcome change. My experience for protonvpn was cludgy because you effectively had to run another service to spin and update qbittorrent’s port whenever it changed. Happy to see some form of baked in support for it now.

Most listed in some form elsewhere, but

• Ugrep
• ranger/lf
• tmux (splitting terminal and detatching/reattaching when I’m sshing onto server, etc)

I’ve also been enjoying Kate. It’s a decent text editor, but the ability to Ctrl + / to pipe selected lines through any Linux command (Uniq, shuf, etc) is a bit of a superpower for an editor

I love flexibility with regex, personally I use ugrep as it also allows utilization of boolean and/or/not logic for more complicated searches.

Do you have experience with either ranger, lf, or yazi? I’m wondering how broot compares. Big fan of file ranger, and this looks very similar.
