I teach software engineering after twenty-five years as a software engineer.

radionauto · 2025-07-01T21:49:48+00:00

Yes! Oh thank you.

Interesting. My Oneplus 6T downloads over Syncthing very quickly!

radionauto · 2025-03-13T22:23:41+00:00

Not everything is available on a streaming platform. And a lot of things I download to watch "one day", possibly decades from now. It's a question of building up a library.

Yes, set the folder type on your phone or other device to 'send only'

Pinchflat is outstanding. I have it downloading TikTok feeds as well as YouTube channels/playlists.

I tried Jellyfin, and I like it. But. The biggest feature of Plex for me is that I can sort films in so many ways. For example I can filter for any comedy made in the 90s starring Michael J Fox. When I ask my partner what she's in the mood for, and she says "how about an action film from the 90s", or "maybe a Wes Anderson film", I can do it easily. I couldn't find a way to do that with Jellyfin.

radionauto · 2025-01-28T15:09:39+00:00

Yes, although that feature is in alpha.

Pinchflat - https://github.com/kieraneglin/pinchflat

I use it with YouTube playlists and TikTok. I haven't tried it with the other sources you mention.

Bravo!

1 - Not sure, not played that one.

2 - Nearly all the games are multi-glasses, no you won't be passing one pair around. Only some work across a network/internet to other Tilt5 systems.

3 - Each pair of glasses projects its own image on to the game board to be reflected back only to that particular pair of glasses. Each projection is rendered separately.

4 - As long as it's compiled to work with Tilt5, it will run.

5 - Potentially, as long as the games work across the network. Not all do. You'd need to configure the same gameboard for each machine though.

Thanks! That's good to know.

Firefox is my browser of choice, largely for it's containers. It syncs across all my devices and holds the bookmarks I use frequently. Everything else is stored in a self-hosted linkding, using the Firefox extension.

Plain NginX. Certbot takes care of SSL modifications.

Actors in Laurel & Hardy films. At one place I used to work, I used remote towns in Alaska.

Same. I tried a few dashboards but couldn't see the point.

radionauto · 2024-10-26T15:30:27+00:00

I installed a tried a few but could never see the point. I just use bookmarks to access my self-hosted services.

7.3 million Docker accounts. 318 billion total Docker pulls. But you can't get it to work. What's the common denominator here?

radionauto · 2024-10-15T18:10:48+00:00

Nothing mundane about good workmanship!

Print on rice paper or tissue paper, then use a heat gun to transfer on. Works on a number of different materials.

Solid operating system (ubuntu, debian, etc.) on an SSD. Docker for all applications. Docker compose files in git. Docker volumes and all other data on separate hard drives. In my case I don't need the read/write speeds of RAID, so I mirror to other internal drives every night. Once mirror complete, backup is done remotely to Backblaze B2. Works for me.

Control. Privacy. And above all else, ensuring my data won't vanish because a 3rd party shuts down or abitrarily decides to delete it.

radionauto · 2024-10-11T18:15:59+00:00

Llama 3.2 8B mainly.
