The android tv app is why I switched to Emby. I mostly liked jellyfin everywhere except the one place I would use it the most.

A few of the fixes for things that strongly turned me off were added as feature requests, but the devs seemed to blow them off as unnecessary or "impossible" (even though the "impossible" is done in every other android tv app, including Emby). Their perceived attitude really turned me off of it.

if it can upscale 1080 ti 4k, does that mean I don’t need my 4k collection anymore? It sounds too good to be true.

Because it is. While it does do a decent job upscaling, it's not some magical thing. Keep the 4k, and be pleasantly surprised when older content looks nice on the larger display.

Interesting. Thanks for the extra effort to help out an internet stranger!

I'll dig some more into these little buggers!

Awesome, thanks!

This little thing looks very interesting. What is the battery life like? Is the handwriting-to-text stuff only viable in specific apps, or can it be used in place of keyboard input?

I would probably use it just like my Kindle, keeping it in airplane mode until I actually need to download something (or in this case, upload notes).

Just a cheap and reliable bucket to rsync my local backups to. I'm leaning toward Hetzner, but was checking out filen after your suggestion, too.

An over-complicated solution I was tossing around with some friends was to set up a cheap NAS at our respective homes, and just rsync to one another. Then we can just sneakernet the drives if we need a recovery.

I'm in the same boat, actually. I'm hosting at home, but want to set up off-site backups, and am looking for something cheap and reliable.

As for the actual process, rsync is probably the best method. I just need to find a good host

I know you can register a google account with an external/non-gmail account. However, you can't transfer the workplace accounts, or reassign them to other things. Once you close your workspace account/subscription, they're vapor.

If there's a way to do it, that would be fabulous, of course!

honestly it’s baffling that I’ve spent 30 years on the internet and can understand so little of it

100% agree.

[-] Naate@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

Honestly, I had to google it, too :D

As far as I know, they mean "Personal Video Recorder" in a fashion similar to "DVR"/"Digital Video Recorder" like the one your cable company provides. It's a little misleading, imo, because it doesn't do any recording, but I didn't come up with the name, so who knows.

Sonarr (and the other 'arrs) is just a management tool. From the servarr wiki:

Sonarr is a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows and will grab, sort and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.

At a high level, you tell it where your current tv show episodes are saved, and add new shows as you want. It then automates the process of searching and downloading. But you still need to have an indexer and download client. If you're not able to find shows searching your current tracker/indexer, Sonarr won't have any better luck.

Finding a good source of the media you want is the most important part. If you're not comfortable with installing and managing your own server applications, the *arr stack could be overwhelming at first. The wiki I linked has a lot of good information to get you started.

Unfortunately, that's not an option. I'm going to continue using the same email address, and I don't want to continue spending the $30ish a month for services and storage I'm no longer using.

I've been a part of the google ecosystem for almost two decades now. I was originally given free access to their original gmail hosted domain way way back (in 03-05?) and I've been there ever since, watching it grow into the god awful thing it is today. Workspace is absolutely terrible for personal use, and has been for a while now. Unfortunately, being so deeply enmeshed, it's tough to break away.

Overall, I think I have everything I need set up between nextcloud and my host's email system. But the big remaining hurdle is how to handle the actual loss of the "google account". I've checked our accounts and they are no longer connected to other sites/services as the sole authentication, but I'm worried I'm still missing something. Yes, play store purchases will be lost, but that's mostly inconsequential anyway.

There is just that one big nagging sensation in the back of my head that I'm forgetting something. Are there any extra steps needed before I shut the whole thing down?

I've been getting repeated emails from my ISP about "exceeding my bandwidth cap" and they feel very incorrect.

My current router is a Cisco RV260, and it doesn't have a great way of tracking traffic. (There's a port traffic screen that does give tx/rx bytes, but no way to see any date ranges).

Is there anything out there that can give an accurate account of Internet traffic? It would be nice if I could see destination domain/IPs, just for kicks and giggles, but an overall traffic count is all I really need.

Thanks!
