I think the larger content creators will push back against this, precisely due to the timestamp issue.

No but content owners could directly DMCA stuff that’s hosted on usenet, they just don’t.

They absolutely do, which is why the vast, vast majority of content is obfuscated, necessitating the use of indexers.

I’m using Tuxedo OS. Based off Ubuntu, but without snaps, and using a up-to-date KDE desktop environment. I don’t like Cinnamon.

Side from being really out of date, yeah, it’s a good distro. Once they finally finish Cosmic Desktop, I may give it another look.

Pretty much all this. I do use my OS drive to dual boot both windows and Nobara. Grub does the heavy lifting. Windows plays along fine.

Highly highly recommend Nobara over Mint if you’re primarily going to be gaming. It’s a fork of Fedora by Glorious Eggshell Eggroll (the guy behind Proton-GE), who himself works for Redhat.

It. just. works.

v40 should be out within a week or two of Fedora 40 dropping on the 23rd.

Edit: Wrong Egg-thing

Android has root, you just gotta put in a little bit of work, and give up your Google App goodies like RCS chat and Pay. (you can get them working too, but Google’s getting better at detection/blacklisting spoofed device fingerprints making it a cat and mouse pain)

I found it to be less of a headache to just embrace transcoding. Buy a refrub SFF PC with an 8th gen or better Intel CPU, and enable QuickSync in Jellyfin.

No kidding? Didn’t think it was possible anymore. I have that exact model, gotta look into it – the homescreen ads drive me insane (and wifey won’t let me just buy a Shield).

Most YouTubers aren’t actually tech literate?! Say it ain’t so! /s

That’s not entirely true. If you have a really old firestick on a really old firmware in a drawer somewhere, there was a way to flash a custom Android build on them way back. That’s long been patched out, though.

Raw version

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Then get a Lenovo Legion Go

Just download it from MS directly and use it unactivated (select “I don’t have a key” when prompted). Why anyone would f- around with their OS, of all things…

If you care to activate, it’s trivial to get a grey key or to find an activation script (though I think they patched out the script – even though MS Support themselves used it)

also amd cards work with linux much better

It’s gotten a lot better with the Open source Nvidia drivers and the latest Kernel. Fedora 40 in March is ditching X11, and it’s expected that Nvidia cards ought to work fine.

I’m an AMD guy myself, but Nvidia isn’t the headache on the penguin like it used to be.

Regardless, your best use of your $100 is to change the CPU to the son-to-be-released 5700X3D. That 3D cache is amazing.

The Ryzen7 5700X3D will be $249MSRP at the end of the month. That’s your $100, right there, and it’ll be one hell of an upgrade.

Windows supports Android apps. You can use Newpipe there, too. I mean, I don’t know why you would since uBlock works fine, but you could.

I bought the Aoostar R1 and freaking love this thing. Throw in 2 drives (I bought 2 refurbished white label 10TB drives I got off Bezosland for cheap) and threw Proxmox on it. Serving up my SAMBA shares, running PiHole and Jellyfin, all on separate LXCs. She’s a beauty.

Bah. Put a good cooler on your CPU and you’re fine.

Go with either a 12th/13th Gen Intel (non-f), or a 7000-series Ryzen (do not start on a dead platform with AM4/5000-series Ryzen!). Since podcasting doesn’t need much graphical horsepower, hold off on the GPU and use the integrated graphics on the CPU to start. Use that GPU money, instead, for your monitor and peripherals - I like the Audiotechnica mics (2100X is a good budget one).

Once you do plop in a GPU, it’ll feel like you’re getting a brand new computer, again. Then you game in earnest.
