I have a storagebox at hetzner. My script does:
I can access the storagebox by password, too. So this is my disaster recovery in case my house burns down with all my devices. I’ll just buy another laptop the next day, and me and the Mrs can admire all my code and our wedding videos within a few hours.
My day-to-day stuff stays in sync via syncthing on my two laptops, my desktop and my home server. They all run btrfs, so I won’t be syncing any flipped bits around.
Home server rsyncs from my VPS once a week. When that’s fine, it rsyncs itself over to a hetzner storage over sshfs+gocryptfs.
Four copies at home, one in the cloud.
At that price even ChromeOS would be a better option. You still have all your android apps, plus that little Linux container for most lf your other computing needs.
I’ve tried libreelec on a raspberry pi 4, but it just doesn’t pass the wife test.
We have a thomson streaming stick 140G (EU branding for ONN). We just use jellyfin, smarttube and our national public service streaming apps. It’s in apps-only mode, but Google still injects one ad on the home screen. I didn’t bother with a custom launcher just yet.
My wife avoids updating her devices for as long as possible, because “updates only break things”. I think I’ll keep this news to myself, because otherwise I’ll never hear the end of it.
I finally nudged her from a pixel 4a to an 8a for Christmas, so it is on its way to the retirement drawer.
Sweet! Tempo is the best subsonic client I’ve found for Android. Hoping to use it for a long time.
It’s a protocol for hosting music libraries.
Think of it like your personal Spotify backend.
I’m running navidrome to serve music to tempo on my devices.
Depends on your setup. I’m a btrfs guy, so I’d go with something similar as your other reply. It’s just as easy to remove/replace/add drives. They don’t even have to match in size. Just remember to balance after doing modifications to your array.
Whatever you get, get at least two and do RAID1/5/6. They will break.
Speed shouldn’t be an issue for streaming media.
Inspired by xkcd’s thing explainer I generated a list of how often words appeared in subtitles on opensubtitles for my target language.
I whipped those into a database, added manual translation for the top-1000 and started quizzing myself with a tiny php script.
It was more fun to code than to actually quiz myself. I think I played the top-100 before I got bored.
WebRTC isn’t necessarily a bad specification.
But that history shows how they draft a specification, implement a service around it at a fast pace (in this case even with a takeover), and many years later the draft turns into a än official specification.
Other browsers have no choice but to fall in line behind the draft if they want to stay relevant. And they did.
IE did the same shit with their marquee-tag back in the day. Last I checked it still works on Firefox. (It’s still not in any w3c specification)

I don’t think I could summarise it better than that Wikipedia section.
I’ve recently switched from Firefox’ vault to bitwarden.
I’d say it works 50% of the time. On desktop Firefox it just doesn’t manage to autofill things some days and I end up copy-pasting my credentials.
On mobile is happy to present me with suggested logins for a page. If I have one, pick or generate one, then it’s all dandy. If I decide I’d rather not, then there’s no way out of that view. I end up force-killing Firefox mobile. Maybe the app works better than the browser extension.
The Android client seems to have dropped a few player engines in a recent update. Previously there was an option to use libvlc, omxplayer or a third option that I can’t recall. Seems the developer opted to go with the worst option.
The AndroidTV app can use external players such ss VLC. I went with kodi as a client instead.
Companies can go ahead you even without those two points.
But now Firefox has a leg to stand on when new standards would be forced upon them to prevent piracy and kiddie porn.
The age old argument of “Your browser is being used to bankrupt the movie studios and abuse children. What are you going to do about it?”
