now that is interesting. does it work with IR, or wifi/bluetooth only? if IR, are the signals of these buttons standardized, so that I can expect it to work well if I order one?

to me the reason I don’t want a mouse is I need to move it on some surface for it to work, and even then it’s handling is much less accurate than at the desk, and its a chore to target that little button on the screen. from this point keyboard based navigation would work better, in apps that implement it well. I can imagine using a keyboard, but most other people I know would not accept that, because it’s too big.

so far the best option I heard is a normal TV remote but with a keypad and trackpad on the back. but do those work with IR, are the signals of these buttons standardized?

oh! lol

thank you. this creates it, but is there a way to view or edit its current configuration in a similar format? and this is not persisted, is it?

I’m the former, but most of that I’m not doing by hand. jellyfin transcodes when it wants, I’m not dealing with that. resources are monitored, a simple setup, so that if something happens I can look back why it happened. I also want alerts if something is predictably going to break down soon. with the latter school of thought, you wouldn’t know if a disk was throwing smart errors for half a year before completely breaking down. but I don’t have failover, I don’t have the hardware and don’t want the power bill for that. but I have reverse proxy because then every web thing is configured the same predictable way, plus I trust it more to handle the standards well. so most things I do, I do it because I think it to be valuable to me, not just for the sake of doing it.

homelabbing is the means to an end to me.

30+ jobs in 20ish years?

do the files get modified after uploading? some filesystems can deduplicate based on contents, maybe it wouldn’t take double space that way.

Graphics are really nice.

trailer graphics are always nicer. you can make an in-engine render with irreal graphics settings if you can allow a few minutes long clip to be rendered in a few hours at 5 FPS

but since that comm doesn’t allow piracy they replaced the link with a youtube link.

So here’s an alternative for people who don’t like Youtube

what? are they also replacing invidious links with youtube links, inserting their own “si=” parameter to be even more “nonpirate”?

I generally like some things that syatemd gives, but is there an easier way to create timed automations with systemd timers?

with cron, its just a single line with the recurrence pattern and the command. with systemd, you have to create a timer unit file with several lines, a service unit file with several lines, put them in the right directory, reload systemd, enable the timer. timers are not difficult, but much more convoluted than the crontab. if you have to make multiple pairs, or update something in them, it gets old fast.

is systemd available for windows and mac?

it seems it has already been

when did they last insist that? possibly they changed their mind, until not too long ago there was not much linux phones out there to spend development time on.

as a user I have, if it happens before clicking the accept button. even when there was no choice.

I can count on one hand how many times I clicked the accept button.

It is clear until that point, but how do you set up full control with that? afaik by default nothing listens to the input events generated by the IR receiver

my solution is smart TV with restricted VLAN. then it can use jellyfin or whatever I feel like. but I can’t recommend that to the average joe, who does not even have any network equipment capable of restricting a port to a VLAN.

Seriously. any recommendation that does not solve this problem is at most a tech demo. remote control, preferably without the fragile smartphone. and no airmouse, that’s terrible even on my LG TV. hardware side it’s simple, get an USB IR receiver, or use the HDMI-CEC signals coming from the TV. but there is nothing to tie it into the linux desktop.

why is it autistic to care about things being bad? those should receive the shame who willingly accept and forget all the bullshit imposed on them.

and how will you control it with the TV remote? don’t say to use the mouse and keyboard from the couch because then I rather won’t turn it on at all
