    Since i'm a console player mainly i find myself trying to use a controller when playing pc. However, i recently started playing half life 1 which didnt have a controller option and its gotten me more used to the idea of using keyboard and mouse

    Bodhi Linux. I have an old hp desktop and it only has 2 gb of ram and 2 cores. I wanted a real lightweight distro and settled on arch linux but one day i tripped and knocked the tower over. When i booted it back up i had the infamous blinking underscore. I tried reinstalling arch multiple times and it kept failing, so i tried a lightweight arch based distro called archbang, same issue. I tried manjaro same issue.

    At this point i wanted to try something not arch based but wanted something that came with minimal preinstalled programs like arch. Research led me to bodhi which is a light weight distro based on ubuntu. Installed with no issues and been using it ever since, about 3 years now.

    Don't know what i damaged on the motherboard but it must have been something integral to arch based distros, but i'm kind of glad it happened because i love bodhi now

    It has allowed an ancient computer to do so much. I've run matrix servers and web servers, written my own webapps to run on it and so much more

    They are both media servers. Plex is closed source and requires you to make an account with them to use whereas jellyfin is open source and requires no account.

    Basically when you set them up you just pick a directory for movies and tv shows and any video files in that directory can be streamed thru the app or web ui

    I prefer jellyfin because of the differences i mentioned earlier but i use both (you can point them at the same directories). I haven't really had any issues with jellyfin performance but run plex as a backup.

    Plex has plex shares too where you can stream other peoples content from your server. Idk if jellyfin has that feature

    Arr and stremio serve different purposes. If you just want to watch content yourself then do stremio.

    If you want to keep certain movies yourself and want to supply a streaming service to friends and family then arr is better.

    Arr has ability to watch your content with no internet.

    If your into foss software arr is also way to go

    Nice. Just want to point out that there is jellyseerr for jellyfin as an alternative to overseerr.

    There is also reiverr which is new which allows managing sonarr,radarr, and jellyfin (basically it providers an interface to watch jellyfin content and also add episodes and movies to sonarr/radarr. I use reiverr for me as admin but it doesnt do requests as of now so i keep jellyseerr for my users

    There is also watchtower on docker that automatically updates your images

    And finally there is rdt-client (real-debrid torrent client) which is a real debrid client that pretends to be qbittorrent and allows sonarr/radarr to download from real debrid instead of torrenting it

    Hmm, i think you can work with firewalled. Mine shows as firewalled. Have you configured your browser to use the http://localhost:4444 as http proxy?

    If you have try to browse to the following addresses:

    http://localhost:7657 (this is the i2p router webui and if it doesnt load then either i2p is not running or is in a broken state)

    http://localhost:7657/i2psnark (i2psnark is built into java i2p and if the previous link loaded and this one doesnt then you dont have snark, which may simply be a limitation of androidl

    http://notbob.i2p (i just picked an i2p site, this one is an index of multiple i2p sites. If it doesnt load but the first one does, then your router is not working properly or your browser is not configured properly)

    http://localhost:7070 (if this loads then you have i2pd installed instead of the java version, i2pd is not built with snark)

    I suggest you install i2p on a computer as all this stuff works out of the box

    Did you install i2p or i2pd?

    If it is the java version (not i2pd) you would access in browser like this http://localhost:7657/i2psnark

    You can use arpwatch. It reports new mac addresses on a given network interface.

    Here's my setup. I have a raspberry pi running pihole and unbound. I set that raspberry pi as my primary dns on my router. Now in order to use the internet all devices will make dns queries over wifi (you can use a wired pi as well) to the pi which means it will also see all devices using your wifi and notify you when a new one shows up or if an ip changes mac addresses.

    Keep in mind these notifications use smtp (email) and you most likely need a mail server to receive them.

    I have a matrix server on my network that has postmoogle (email bridge) that can receive the emails from arpwatch and send them to me as a matrix message

    1. Doesn't really matter imo. Internally maybe slightly faster, maybe some games require internal, but i run games on my external, loading may go slower unless you have a nice chunk of ram.

    2. Seed

    3. What do you mean by safer? Both can be dangerous if it executes code. If you mean getting caught torrenting leaks your ip address (hence why people use vpn)

    If you dont want to spend money there is i2p, set up an i2p router, configure a browser to use it, http://2.postman.i2p is a tracker there, just paste the magnet into i2psnark, no vpn required.

    Note it will be much slower download

    You can get started here: https://geti2p.net/en/

    Tor typically discourages torrenting. But i2p has torrenting capability built in and has there own trackers

    Marketing mostly. The vpn makes an encrypted tunnel that you're traffic goes thru. If using https and vpn there are 2 layers of encryption. It's not false advertising bc an extra layer doesn't hurt. Now if your sending password over http it would help but you shouldnt be using a site that sends passwords over plaintext. I would say vpn is mostly to either hide your ip from websites or to hide internet activity from your isp

    These data suggest that COVID vaccine hesitancy is associated with significant increased risks of a traffic crash. An awareness of these risks might help to encourage more COVID vaccination.

    I think this is rather silly. You find a correlation between vaccine hesitancy and reckless driving and that is supposed to make people want to get the vaccine? It's not like the vaccine makes you a better driver, they even later mention that it is most likely due to the fact that these individuals neglect safety precautions in multiple areas. Getting the vaccine will not change these statistics

    Ok, so by visiting a server you are sharing your IP (obviously you could use VPN/Tor to prevent that). By clicking your username I can see your posts but I cannot see what you view. I'm not even sure if a server admin could see that, but they could potentially correlate your IP with the pages you request. However, I don't think a server admin with federation would be able to see what you visit since the federated content is duplicated on your home server, so i think it would still only be visible to your server's admin. Not 100% sure tho, hopefully someone will chime in that knows more

    But this is a great example of why you need to find a server admin you trust, because servers could also run modified lemmy code or be tracking user data, etc

    Well part of my unpopular opinion is that the story isn't that bad. To me the flashbacks arent so bad, it makes sense that samus was rebellious, she was young at the time and going through a phase but it also explains why she is a rogue hunter.

    The part that is annoying is the present timeline where samus has completely abandoned the rebelliousness and will risk her own life in order to not disobey orders from someone who A) isn't her commanding officer and B) she disobeyed in the past
