So I would need to put Linux on my device then put plasma big screen over that?

Yeh, agree. But for a lot of people they are the easiest option after Amazon/google/apple etc

Not everyone is techy enough to have means to pull components together and configure, And then put up with semi reliable solutions. People need to acknowledge this rather than downvote. It’s weird.

plasma-bigscreen looks nice, would it go on a RPI 4? and are they spy-ey? they have google as a patron.

Not sure why you got downvoted. I use similar Mi boxes. I hate google but the tv has a throw away tv email. I would love to not have google involved.

I then have productivity launcher which i quite like. If i am wrong happy to be pointed in the right direction. generally use stremio/jelly/smartube

I have been using Jellyfin, and finamp. Its OK but clunky. I generally use SLSKD as most my music is randoms. I have been using slsk-batchdl to bring my old playlists over. Its 85% hit so i am ok with that. I am not quite complete.

If i were to setup Navidrome would i be better off making sure all my files are on my drive and then setting up? and letting it organize?

My issue isnt what a new phone offrers, its what it is taking that is now the issue, and impacting my decision.

Also smart tube

How have these sycophants been allowed to seep into every position of decision making or influence.

How many using VRs how many paying.

They should change squatting laws and keep a very public list of empty homes

I think too many people think that negotiation is enough it’s not. Unfortunately we do need social tension as the rich recurrently take advantage.

I am ok with them becoming physically unsafe.

As a mother we care about all of their health physical and mental. It’s not unreasonable you ask the right questions when caring for them. Sometimes they can be vulnerable, same with elders. Having someone’s watch over events is fair.

I bought a little box computer (and some drives), followed a guide for linux and docker. It has a VPN setup on there too…that’s all i have. Not sure if your nas is drive or drive and computing, but NAS is the expensive part covered. I dont think i have any security…im thinking now i should.

You are not wrong, but my understanding (and how i use mine) could also be wrong

Stremio is for streaming

Jellyfin is a self hosted media manager and relies on you having the files…if you dont have the files downloaded/stored its gonna give you nothing to display.

I set aside a day last year and set up a self host, once up and running its actually quite low maintenance. I use it for stuff i watch regular or that I want to keep (viewed and managed by JF). Also my shows because it just picks up new episodes in the background. Convenient.

For casual streaming when i dont know what i want to watch/check out a new show…its stremio.

Ok yes thanks for the explanation.

I also think stremio is throwing out a lot more errors lately and am ready to start looking for a backup.

Self host is not for everyone.

So the Groypers are an ultra right wing movement who have grown their cause from the internet and it’s now manifesting in staffer positions of GOP?

Am I reading this correct?

And it’s too right for GOP?

Sounds like the AI owners who are telling us they are dangerous. Plastic Gangsters.

I will say though, i do love some dissent! keep it up.
