Is this a hardware question or an open source alternative TV experience question ? :/

The later, the most promising alternative comes from KDE: https://plasma-bigscreen.org/

Haven’t tried it but I have my eyes on :) This will probably be your best bet as soon as Google goes Apple style closed ecosystem ^^’

You could probably start this interface on boot and have a similar TV experience as Android TV box where you can put Jellyfin and other apps.

You still need to configure some controller or remote to navigate the interface !

Your only limit is your own imagination on Linux :) !

I hope we will get there any time soon ! Discount HDD !

3-5 years? I’m not sure about that… I got 4 Industry Red HDDs from my job… They have over 10 years of full load and they don’t have a single reallocated sector count, reported uncorrectable errors or current pending sector count.

I guess consumer grade HDD have some kind of programmed obsolescence ?

If anyone here can explain to me what conscioussness is, please go one :) I’m not talking about the definition written in some text books, nay !

No one here can give me any proof that an ant is or isn’t conscious (in there own way) ! We are unable to understand beeings on another levels of consciousness…

It’s not a question if something is conscious, but rather what kind of consciousness.

Whatever, i’m just babling my head out 🥴😴

I mean, you have to be very thorough when manually curating your medias.

That’s short compared to how much there is to say about the arr stack :))

You could probably use it to download legal torrents (movies, series) but they depend on metadata providers for all the data.

I thinks It wouldn’t be that useful for something else than piracy (torrent&Usenet) but I may be wrong here.

Yeah, I had the same feeling before I discovered how powerfull it is.

It’s not that hard to keep it well organized manually I guess, but you have to be very thorough and always keep the same structure when you do something ! I’m not at all an expert in scripting or programming on Linux and i’m relatively new in the Linux familly so I guess Im lacking a lot of basic skills in that matter.

I did appreciated my manual setup for a while. Also I did learned a lot of new things (what are inodes, files, hardlinks, softlinks, mount points, ffmpeg, mkvtools…) But now that I have that new basic knowledge I can take away this mental charge and just let it run whithout the need to overthink things !

I think it’s the best course of action for my learning Linux journey :)

Keep it simple, stupid my friend :D

The arr stack is kinda tricky to get started and understand how it all works together, but as soon as it clicks, it’s awesome !!

Can’t exactly say what, but I kinda got lost and what helped me out was to slowly work one arr service at a time and understand what they actually do. (First only Sonarr after awhile I added prowlarr, then radarr and now slowly testing Seer !)

Trash guide was also helpful specially for custom formats. Just take your time and don’t try to much to make your own custom formats… Have seen alot a of people on private trackers blow up their ratio without noticing it.

Best advice I can give you is to just play arround with sonarr or radarr alone and try things out and see what they do ^^ Or try to read and understand the official documentation but you will have a better grasp while doing things :)

Edit: Ohh and forget about asking chatGPT… It will mostly output outdated information an cause you more trouble and leave you even more confused !

Huh? That’s just a myth… They are just like every other folks, blinded sheeps who sometime go into the streets doing nothing 🤫

Had any of the last decades street walks any important impact? Like Farmers? Nothing… Gillet jaune? Nothing… Police? Nothing… Get this bastard out of Presidency? Naaaah…

So yeah, Historically, French people are known for their revolutionary bloodlust, but that’s long gone.

Nobody mentioned this but route only the necessary traffic to your router (all your self-hosted services) with wireguard’s split tunneling (just set the apropriate allowed_ip networks in your wg config).

You could set it to 0.0.0.0/0 and send all her traffic through your router but this could potientially choke your own network and make her own speed slow down.

Wow… Never thought about this ! To bad my battery died years ago ! Craptop still going strong though 👍💪

There’s no bookmarking functionality :( however, they are grouped by directorty structure. Most important part !

However, not sure it works witb emags ://

Eeeewww ! YouTube’s audio quality is TrasH ! If you want to respect your ears and those arround you…Just dont download musique from there… It’s not worth it !

I’m not talking about flac grade quality… But minima off 192k mp3…

Thats harrrrsh !

limited content compared to Netflix

Not sure if this is actually a key difference. You can have as many content as you want on your service, if you have the needed space ! But the point is, when self-hosting your ARR stack, it’s more about QUALITY vs QUANTITY…

How many times have I seen people looking for something to watch and bing scrolling Netflixe’s front end.

For the rest you’re on point !!

Samba is great, but it’s hell when you need multiplatform support… I have some weird fruit thing going one to support MacOS :/

I can’t remember why, but I gave sshfs a try but stayed why samba.

or something like documentaries

Huh? You haven’t watched a lot of documentaries this last decade I guess. I wouldn’t watch any under 1080p and If I could 4k (for those filmed in 4k) If I had the TV and proper device…

Yeah !! SLSK, nicotine+ is the best way to get your music. Can’t believe it exists for so long an only heard about it here on lemmy 2 years ago.

However, YT-DLP has it own merit with youtube ! There are some great YouTuber’s out there doing some very good journalism, science and other stuff ! And archiving them with tubearchivist, tubesync or pinchflat is the best we can get anyway !
