The pro version adds only the ability to change some cosmetic parts of the app, and the free version has no ads at all. I bought the pro version some years ago after years of just using the free one, purely to support the devs. Monetisation done more than right.

Again people on Lemmy show that they can’t do basic reading and interpretation. For fuck’s sake people, it was obviously sarcasm.

Ah yes, the famous communist fascist… You liberals are just insane.

Same. I’d pick my home turf no questions. I like pasta and chinese food, but I’d miss rice and beans way more than those.

You can use Chris Titus tool to make a debloated usb before even having to install it. You download the official .iso from MS, and use his tool instead of Rufus to burn a debloated minimal version to a bootable usb.

You do know that above 50 USD taxes are 92% right? Check it out, a product for 1000 reais will have 900 reais in taxes. It’s bonkers. But technically, it has always been like this, but it wasn’t truly enforced/audited. Now that they are collecting the taxes at the point of sale, you pretty much pay for two products to buy one.

Below 50usd the taxes are considerably lower, and just above 50 usd they get a 20 dollars rebate on taxes, so it’s okayish to buy.

I bought a seagate 4tb drive, cheapest 4tb at the time, on Amazon if I’m not mistaken.

Oh, you’re lucky then. NET/Claro locks down all their modens for consumers, and I know that most other ISPs around here do the same.

Nothing of the sort in Brazil. Stuff only gets replaced when broken or completely outdated. And any stuff that might work gets poached by insiders before seeing the light of day. You might get some stuff if you work in IT, out of question for anybody else.

Here people sell 2nd gen I5 + rx 580 pcs as “gamer pc” at 70% the price of a modern system. It’s absolutely bonkers.

Hi fellow Brazilian!

Yeah, second-hand here sucks. You can get x-99 mb + cpu combos on alliexpress for 400 reais though, old xeons are good for server/jellyfin, just not very efficient. For Jellyfin, my biggest money sink is in HDDs. 4tb drives are 700 reais each, and there’s no second-hand refurbished stuff in the market, so you have to buy brand-new. For a GPU I have an ancient 750ti, but I’m looking to buy an intel A310 card if they drop lower than 800 reais. At the very least you’re looking at 3000 reais in pc parts for a server though. Mb + cpu + ram is somewhat cheap if you buy from china through alliexpress, but GPUs are a no go there. Keep in mind that when buying from China you have to avoid products above 60 dollars (around 350 reais) because of the super high taxes. If you want to buy domestically, I’d recommend a b450 AM4 board + a 3200g or something around that. You can avoid buying a dedicated GPU with a 3200g or similar, and get a nice modern platform, but the cpu will be quite weak for game servers, with inadequate support for pcie lanes, memory channels and sata ports though.

Also, for a game server, it’s very likely that you’ll have to work around being behind CGNat. I currently only self host Jellyfin inside my own house because of that, it’s just a huge pain in the ass to deal with it. There are solutions though, I just haven’t bothered. I’m still in the process of buying hard drives, so right now it’s not a huge priority.

Edit 1: wording Edit 2: forgot to talk about psus… Just don’t buy anything chinese. The MSI Mag 650w is the king of cost x benefit here in Brazil, nothing comes close, it’s usually around 300 and rock solid.

I just realized it’s on the post. Sorry for that. This looks like a solid thing, for sure. Since we’re talking, do you ever worry about people making use of the privacy features for nefarious purposes?

Do you have voice calls/group voice calls and streaming already in or in the roadmap?

Do everything outside the walls. I had the same problem in my house, I literally killed all the wires inside the walls and did a whole new installation in an industrial style outside the walls. It’s way better for maintenance purposes anyway.

Yeah, no amount of UPS is gonna fix a problem like that. It’s more than time to rewire their whole electrical grid at home. That’s quite literally a disaster waiting to happen.

I usually convert pdfs to epub if its something I actually need to read and not just scan/browse. Often I would bother to even edit the epub in Sigil to fix any problems with the conversion.

Network chuck has a really easy to digest series on how DNS and subnetting works, there are also free courses from free code camp on the topic, but those are less digestible.

Yeah, I just use the fork.

I just use Obsidian + Syncthing + MEGA. My obsidian folders are on my mega synced folder on my pc, and they are set up to use syncthing to push updates to all my other devices (2 phones and a tablet), but you can have as many devices as you want. It’s all free as well, and the cloud service can be any that you like.
