Water can be like this when it rains a day or a couple hours before. Every river become like this when it rains. It is perfectly fine to eat fish from this river.

How do you play/stream media from your server during offline hours? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

If all the devices are in the same network you should be able to stream content even without internet. I had to wait for 5 days to my ISP set up my internet on my new address and I watched my jellyfin library in the meantime with no problems.

Small VPN Access Device? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I don't know if this would fit your needs but I just have a wireguard server and when I travel I just connect to my VPN from my phone and start my access point ..then all the other devices will be connected to my VPN through the phone access point (there is an option to let clients use VPN in access point settings) and watch jellyfin. For me this is the simplest and cheapest option I found.

Any Non Invasive TWS Earbuds/Manfuacturers? in c/[email protected]

Wait, you mean you need an app to listen to music in a Bluetooth earphone? It's not just connect it to your phone via Bluetooth? I don't usually use phones but I have some Chinese cheap phone I use sometimes that I just connect to my phone and that's it.

Yeah I've switched 3 times already but every once in a while the app crashes or fails the integrity test and I note in the worse possible time..when I need to pay for something. Looks like the best alternative is to have a cheap android phone just to do banking.

I've tried and could not use none of them without the website requesting the app to login or to verify the transactions

Yeah I did that because of the banking apps issues so I've installed magisk. Looks like I made a mistake.

All the banks I have an account need an app in order to login. I've tried to use them using the browser but they all request you to use their app as 2fa. So the app doesn't work and I just can't do shit using only my browser.

Hey guys, it's pretty much the tittle. I've been using Lineage with microg for a year now and despite using the majority of FOSS apps in my routine I still feel like I have to struggle to preserve my privacy and keep Google away from my data. Do you guys feel the same sometimes?

Every time I have to use a banking app is a pain ..I kept changing banks to the ones who I could use with Magisk but every app update breaks my setup and I have to find a workaround or change to another app. I just quit using banking apps and passed them all to the wife.Now even home brokers have been blocking me asking to use a "official android version"

Today even a government app we must use to get access to services and information started complaining about my play store.

I self host a nextcloud service on my old desktop that serves as a server but every now and then the updates crash something. Sharing calendar and notes is too complicated if you don't have a vps or a domain. I keep getting complains from the wife about how come I just don't use google keep and Google drive anymore.

After a year I'm starting to think that maybe my data is not worth the hassle just to keep big tech out of my digital life.. I guess Big Brother wins

What do you say? Am I too lazy or it is unpractical to stay away from big tech?

New to soulseek and have questions (lemmy.ml)

So I saw this post here a couple days ago about music piracy and got interested in soulseek. I've installed nicotine in a docker container and started searching for some music. I've found some pretty hard to find music and this album my father used to have in vynil when I was a kid. Cool. But the files had PRIVATE written on them.. Tried to download but the user did not share them with me. My question is: what's the point of sharing folders in a p2p program and denying access to these folders? I mean..just don't share it if you won't let anybody download it. Am I missing something in order to download this album?

Edit: hey guys I sent a message to the user asking if he could share the folder with me and he answered that he'd added me and I could download whatever I wanted! Great! Thanks for the help!
