UNBELIEVABLE!

And they were never heard from AGAIN! Oooooooo It is horror month, and that’s pretty scary! :-D

Sounds like a 2000’s cell phone ringer.

Timing belt needs a good tightening is all.

LOVE my Jellyfin.

Buy a good inexpensive TV. The manufacturer can make them cheap because they’re losing money and hoping to gain it back with ads and analytics. Don’t connect it to the internet. Get a Steam deck or small form factor PC (Intel NUC or variant) install Linux, profit.

I’ve bought a few small form factor PCs, and again Steam Deck works great, for $300 and then a great TV. And I don’t have to put up with any ads, any crap applications that barely work, it’s just browsing ANY website I want, playing ANY PC game I want. It’s honestly the best outcome and I’ll never go back at this point.

Don’t let yourself accept the subpar TV applications that are just a website with awful frontends, that run like shit and that the companies creating these apps have 0 incentive to make properly because their app isn’t there for a good experience. It’s there to track you, just like the TV.

I mainly use Matrix for myself, my family, and have rooms set up for a community.

Discord I have and use as a couple groups of friends are still and basically every game dev uses Discord now and you have to go to Discord to find out any info about the game, look up tips/hints, or even report bugs. FUN!

Wife and I just had this conversation about drinking in the US. Legal drinking age is 21. So if you’re born Feb 29th, can you drink on the 28th? No. If your birthday is January 2nd, you can’t drink on January 1st. Only makes sense to me that it’d be March 1st, but I’m born in Dec, so not really my choice or opinion that matters. :-D Just saying.

I stopped using it years ago because they were going downhill and still collecting your private information. I run my own SearXNG now. It proxies from multiple sources, no ads, no tracking. I really enjoy SearXNG as it’s mine.

I just did an image search for adorable and saw this. It looks cute imo, of course don’t harm animals. Man this place makes me really not want to participate anymore.

I searched for adorable and look at imagaes and posted! Wow.

You mean that I did an internet search for adorable and found a cute picture and posted it?

He once breast fed a flamingo back to health! TO BILL BRASKY!

Wow! Thanks for sharing amd all the detail. Amazing stuff. Loved reading it.

This is literally the self-hosted community. I’m talking about self-hosted livestreaming platform. If you want to call it a blog + video, ok sure. Everything is basically a rehash of everything else. Just trying to share some self-hosted information. And I’m not the dev of Owncast or anything, just someone trying to make others aware of self-hosting software.

I’m not understanding what you’re stating. Me streaming a video game isn’t blogging. If you mean that there isn’t a list of folks all streaming, well there’s https://directory.owncast.com to find folks. If you mean only you can stream to it, well that’s not true as you can set up multiple stream keys and allow others to stream to it as well. So I’m really not understanding what you’re stating.

Nope. Full self hosted livestreaming. I personally use it to stream games. I started a communit at !owncast/lemmy.world and I’ve listed a few different streams. Some folks game, classic movies, music, etc. It’s your own self hosted Twitch or YT streaming, etc.
