Can’t answer sorry

Comparison of self hosted photo library https://github.com/meichthys/foss_photo_libraries

Did you try darktable? Pretty decent open source alternative to lightroom

Kodi

Long time I haven’t ordered any creality filament but they were not great few years ago, hopefully they are better now. Filament is sensitive to humidity, store in a dry place especially open spools. If you pinch filament in half and it breaks, that means it is really humid and you will have some printing issues, if so you need to dry filament. Another advice unrelated to filament is to watch some videos to learn how to operate, maintain,… The more you watch, the better. Get in some discord forum for ender 3 or creality printers so you can get some help from people who owns same printer.

I can’t remember any name but search for f2f (friend to friend) p2p. Basically a private way to share files over p2p to limited people you have accepted without any use of tracker like P2P use

Oh ok, the first thing that comes to my mind is Kodi. Depending your pc it might be a bit slow but that should work.

Edit: are you on linux or windows? If windows, you should really consider linux. Old pc comes back to life with linux as it needs way less ressources than windows

I guess you meant something to act as a remote desktop? Something lightweight better than a remote desktop for your use case is to setup a FTP server or a samba share. You will then use some media player client to read from there

There is many different instances, maybe try another one

Haven’t used it much but as another option, you could try some firefox addon like libredirect so it will open some redlib instance.

You can go to Annas and search “piracy”. Not sure how much materials you will get but there will be some

I don’t know about jailbreak, but you can sideload games/apps. Will send a link in mp

It already exists for quest (vr head set) which is android base, so I guess we will see one for phone at some point.

Here is a part of the kit to give you an idea

One or two hours? Sorry but I don’t think you realise exactly what’s need to be done here. It’s not like some other kit which are partially assembled, and the assembly process is probably the main key part to get very good print quality. Can’t recall how often I’ve seen people trying to diagnose some print errors while the issues were not due to calibration or settings but due to assembly, so being focus and taking all the time you need for this process is crucial as it isn’t like assembling some IKEA furniture. Does 30 ish hours sounds a lot, yes but if it the time that person needed to do things correctly because of its lifestyle and knowledge/confidence, that’s perfectly fine. Would some other do it in way less time? Sure, but maybe they have mount several before and know exactly all the key points to look out, they will recognise every single piece on one sight and will need way less time to think about the next step and how to do it correctly.

Check brave history and you will see the amount of controversies they have. I personally wouldn’t believe anything Brave says.

Might not help you a lot to decide but something to take into consideration… While bambulab printer is close to plug and play (can’t talk for there others you mentioned), because of closed source, finding fixes to some issues can be sometimes problematic. You can find documentation but way less than other printers as they hide a lot of knowledge…

Your friend may not have issues with it yet but it if you go on bambu lab discord server, you will see that many people are having issues. What I mean is all printers can have a lot of different issues so don’t believe that if you take a p1s, you won’t have any problems. 1 person may not have much issues for a long time but meanwhile 10 people will struggle.

By the way, some may think “another bambulab hater blablabla” while reading my comment but I have 3 printers and one of them is an A1, so no, I’m not a hater, overall I like it but that will be my last bambulab printer for sure.

Cool, enjoy

My guess is that your issue is from torrentio, I don’t use it but heard a lot recently about instability. You could try comet instead of others.

You already had some good advices but something I haven’t seen mentioned. If you use Kodi (and probably a couple others media player), you could use some sub plugin like open subtitle (forgot other names) to fetch subtitles on the fly when you will play video. It can be hit or miss at first, but subtitles name are like release name (title, quality, release group). So if you often encounter a release group that do your sub language. Try to download video from same release group, so you will have better chance that audio/sub sync properly.

This apart, +1 for private tracker as already mentioned, you may need some searching to find one but worth it.
