I’m in favour of it.

Contrary to the last time this was proposed, the government is in control of it instead of private corporations.

This will also be an alternative to any of the current online ID verification, which involve sending photos of your ID, videos of it and videos of yourself to some random third party for verification.

They don’t know how to pause it during legal proceedings either

Yep, in favour. It basically boosts the watch time, because you literally spend longer watching the video.

FYI, the YouTube algorithm positively freaks out when you watch a video below 1x speed because of the increased watchtime.

I live in a country where making copies of movies and having them for private consumption isn’t illegal.

I wouldn’t blame the Jellyfin devs for this situation, they inherited a lot of bad code from Emby and are still cleaning it up.

I don’t have an issue with Plex. I don’t use it

Most of these require some form of random id to exploit, which leaves you either brute forcing ids or brute forcing a user account

I think Amazon and Qobuz both offer some music for purchase.

You need something other than your ISP provided router, otherwise you’ll be constantly limited by a few basic settings they allow you to change. Check with your ISP if you can use your own router directly, if their routers have a bridge mode or if you can buy an alternative modem that does bridging.

If you want a simple and cohesive ecosystem, Unifi is the one to beat. They offer routers and switches and you can manage them all from a single dashboard.

For an open source router, the best option is OPNsense. Get one of the multi port x86 boxes from Aliexpress (e.g. Qotom) and install it on that.

Personally, I don’t like OpenWRT, but that would be an option to flash a cheap consumer router.

TP-Link offers some great switches, look at their JetStream series. They’re usually a bit cheaper than equivalent Unifi switches as well.

As an anti-recommendation I’ll mention Mikrotik. Their hardware is great and they provide great value, but the UI is extremely confusing for newcomers. It’s all well documented (in the form of terminal commands, but the UI is basically built like that), but you need to know networking before you can find what and how you need to change settings.

That’s why evil-mode exists

You used the wrong icon. It should be emacs

Apple just recently made it impossible to install one torrent client from the Alt-store. They’re not any better than what Google is planning.

What did you use to acquire your Spotify music? They cleaned a lot of software that could do that a while ago.

Plus Tidal songs are easily downloadable in full FLAC quality for your personal archive.

Storage is very cheap. This only makes sense if they actually do the upscaling client side

I’d assume you need an admin account for every server and it uses that to create the users.

Proton GE already had an FSR upgrade option. Anybody know how that worked until now?

That’s a completely different VPN than what the rest the comments are talking about

You have the choice between ALVR and WiVRN for Quest or Pico headsets. Both work, though they have some rough edges. ALVR relies on SteamVR, while WiVRN uses the open source Monado backend. Both can play Steam games however.
