Whenever possible, yes. Unless I don’t have cash with me, then I may sacrifice.

For online purchases I need to give my address anyway and name so I can pick the package so there’s no way around it.

Whenever possible I always use a random fake name if really required to fill a name form.

No, I don’t want random companies to have my legal name, I reserve the right to be anonymous both online and offline

If you have the skills to setup a Jellyfin server you also have the skills to setup wireguard.

My parents just got fiber and they don’t even have a public address (ipv4 or v6) which just adds another layer of headache. thanks west virginia…

That’s a very specific use case.

Good thing my Jellyfin is behind Wireguard.

Consider doing the same if your usecase permits.

Unfortunately VMs aren’t a solution for my use case since I need no latency realtime audio or GPU acceleration

The complication comes from when I need to use proprietary windows-only software for whatever professional or recreative reasons.

Free (as in freedom) software is great for 90% of situations, but there are things free software just can not do.

Wine exists but it’s mostly focused on video-games, and honestly, it’s such a pain to get a windows program to run on wine that I prefer to just have a second SSD with Faildos and boot from it when I eventually need to use such programs. Which I make sure to unplug the ethernet cable when I do.

Please do that to my friend, please do that to my friend.

Ofc I respect his freedom to use whatever apps he chooses to use, what do you mean?

Anyway. Please meta, ban my friend from meta and make sure to track his device ID/IP/cookies etc so can can’t make a new acc.

The phone makers want nothing to do with it and are actively fighting it in court as best they can.

Doubt. This way they have excuses to farm user data.

But you cost money monthly, require insurance, taxes, food, human rights.

Machine is a one time purchase.

I find that most my old cassettes still play, can’t say the same for the CDs.

It looks like a DeLorean model that refused to render properly

Lmao

This sounds really cool. Does that actually work, did you do a comparison? I would have expected that most RAM usage comes from rendering the frame and not sending it, or does waypipe somehow outsource that as well?

I haven’t tested yet, it’s something I plan to do this or next week.

From what I understand, waypipe should use minimal ram, all it basically does is forwarding an image, sound and inputs, all the heavy lifting is done on the server side where the application actually runs.

“I have a hammer and I hate it’s not hammering, any cool ideas involving nails?”

You see, I have the exact same problem as you, I just can’t stand seeing hardware going unused. Specially computer hardware that deprecates. But I think before thinking “what can I do with this hardware” you should think “do I have a need or a problem that can be solved with this hardware?” And if the awnser is “no” then maybe consider selling the GPU or giving it to some friend who needs it.

My Jellyfin works without a GPU, just my old 2nd generation i3 is enough to realtime transcode video to my phone, maybe I would need upgrade of I had more users, but I’m it’s only user.

Do you have multiple users on your server where you require GPU acceleration, if not there’s no much reason to use GPU accell anyway (which is usually trickier to setup)?

Still reporposing the computer to use as a server seems to be a good idea, because I at least can’t stand the nightmare of using USB hard drives, I’ve hard really bad experiences with those lousy cables and connection. But if you do that. That leaves you with another problem. What to do with the raspberry pi?

Also, I just recently also built a new PC had the same problem of not knowing what to do with my laptop, I came to conclusion that the best thing I can do with it is to run background chat applications on it and maybe web browser via waypipe. So it just looks like a window on my main PC and this way I have ram on my new PC that I may need for some heavy workloads like blender rendering.

If that happens my phone becomes useless for me, I have to either sell it or throw it away.

Peertube, but lacks content.

It seems that every few weeks some developer makes this same mistake and a news is published each time.

But why would anyone want to buy a chromebook? When they can buy a real computer for the same price?

If battery life is such an issue, just buy a powerbank.

The low price

Dude, there isn’t anything low about that price. That’s the point, with 600 dollars you can get a very decent computer from pretty much any other brand with at least the double of ram.

You see, you can get an used thinkpad for less than half the price and still have twice the ram.

It’s just a scam product for people who know nothing about computers and will pay for this trash because they simply think “apple a good brand, right?”.

That’s the thing, even used Pixels are almost twice the price of what I paid for my new phone.

Back when I bought my phone I considered that route. but then since I can’t replace the batteries on new phones without risking destroying the device. And there’s a big probability that the phone comes with an almost dying battery.

I also understand that GrapheneOS can’t be installed on any “unlocked” phone, it needs to be OEM unlocked and most sellers don’t know/specify, so ended up considering too expensive and too much of a risk.

That’s nice, but how much will those phones cost? Will GrapheneOS be an option on the low end devices or will they only support “some” devices, which happen cost as much as a Pixel anyway?
