Tumbleweed users RISE UP!

I took the networking TCP/IP fundamentals class for my first MCSE in 99, and the instructor wouldn’t shut up about how IPv4 would be replaced within 5 years.

I can’t help but chuckle at people who think they have to pay for ad free YouTube.

Install Firefox with Ublock Origin, or preferably LibreWolf which includes it.

That’s it. Haven’t seen a YouTube ad in…. ever.

I need to get a new VPN setup. Been using OpenVPN through OPNsense for years but I’m fed up with the abysmal performance of the OpenVPN client on iOS. Open to suggestions but it has to be fully self hosted.

I don’t know what to say except I’m sorry you’re ok with that kind of behavior.

Because he’s a racist shithead.

Screw that guy.

This is so cool, now we’ll be able to tell our kids about how when we were young only the graphics cards were stupid expensive.

I think you pissed off all three Cinnamon fans.

The right drugs will get you a real girlfriend.

I guess you are saying you only run Kodi? Yes it is Kodi with the jellyfin plugin talking to a jellyfin server that is the source of the few woes I have with it. Honestly it works really well, but when something is wrong I would say due to the UI it’s beyond most non-technical people to sort it out easily.

I mean, it’s free and it does work, so I won’t complain, but I wouldn’t push this on any but my most technical friends.

I use Kodi with the jellyfin plugin, but I can’t recommend that for ‘normies’ because the interface is not simple, and I still have glitches with it.

I’m also looking for a solution like yours, but wanted you to have that feedback.

Haven’t heard of that, I’ll look into it, thanks

Yes but I’d still feel gross. I’m probably over-principled. lol

Thanks! Lots of good stuff here. Appreciate your time writing that out!

I used to do custom ROM Android phones but Google is persona non grata with me for the rest of their existence, sadly.

Then why did you comment?

I’d love to, but I will never give Google another dime, including buying hardware that I’m going to overwrite the OS on.

I can’t talk about cloning or migration since I always greenfield when I redo my OSes, but definitely recommend installing Linux first, with the Windows drive disconnected, then connecting the second drive and installing Windows on it. That way Linux owns the bootloader. This has been trouble free for me.
