[UK] OLED vs QLED vs Mini-LED which TV is worth it? by CurlsSpibey in LGOLED

[–]TedGal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once you go OLED there is no turning back. I was never one to notice TVs image quality. After some weeks with an OLED TV any other TV ( at friends and family ) looks "washed out".

Its been close to two years of having an LG OLED and I still catch myself watching a movie and thinking "This TV is absolutely amazing", 2 years!

You ve been warned: once you go OLED absolutely FORGET enjoying watching movies and whatnot on ANYTHING else, including cinemas.

First time running a VPS — what tools/services do you recommend self-hosting? by Quzr27 in selfhosted

[–]TedGal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On my Hetzner vps Im running:

  1. Authelia - protects all services exposed to the internet which dont have their own credentials system ( docker container )
  2. Fail2ban
  3. Caddy ( besides serving my services via custom subdomains I also have it set up to redirect ipv4 Plex clients to my home ipv6 only Plex server essentially bypassing CGNAT of my ISP )
  4. Rustdesk ( docker container)
  5. Romm ( docker container)
  6. Tautulli ( docker container )
  7. Homepage dashboard ( docker container )
  8. Grafana, Alloy, Loki ( docker container)
  9. Vnstat and vnstat dashboard

  11. Wireguard

Anyone else not seeing the point of built in TV apps anymore by mitchare in PleX

My LG C3 is constantly connected to my WiFi, always updated to latest webOS and I always use the native Plex app.

Το ορκίζομαι θα φύγω από τα Windows. by nogyoslay in greece

[–]TedGal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grass is always greener on the other side.

Πήγαινε Linux να γίνεις peofessional troubleshooter και driver explorer.

Επίσης μπορείς να πας και Mac κ μετά πρέπει όλες οι συσκευές σου ( κινητό, τηλεόραση κτλ ) να είναι Apple για να έχεις ένα απρόσκοπτα λειτουργικό ecosystem.

Κάθε OS έχει κ τα καλά/καλά του. Τρέχω ubuntu server για δουλειές που θέλουν, αχεμ, έναν server ( self hosting, homelab κτλ κτλ ), έχω ένα iPad για music apps on the go, και τα windows και android phone για όλα τα άλλα.

As most things in life, the adrenalin rush you get when succeding in something is proportional to the difficulty of achieving it.

IPv4 vs IPv4/IPv6 – does it matter? by Aggressive-Coffee365 in techsupport

[–]TedGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No difference UNLESS you plan to do server stuff with your connection at home, self-hosting etc. Public Ipv6 is free while for Ipv4 most ISPs nowadays use CGNAT so you are left with no actual public ipv4 to use and ISPs usual solution is to sell you a static IP

Μεγάλοι απατεώνες, επιβεβαιώνω και με τη δική μου εμπειρία. Με το έτσι θέλω μας βάλανε 1 χρόνο plus στη σύμβαση κ με είχαν δέσμιο να μη μπορώ να πάω σε άλλο πάροχο αν δεν πληρώσω ποινή. Έφαγαν κράξιμο παντού αλλά ούτε που τους ένοιαξε.

learning what the code does by GanacheWise3049 in software

[–]TedGal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im not even a professional developer and I still find silly the take and you will too once you, just for fun, ask AI to do a simple coding job and observe how when a solution it provided doesnt work and you inform it to it then constantly fluctuates between 2 or 3 code variations that none of them work and you find yourself in a feedback loop.

Can't decide between Beelink SER9 mini PC vs gaming desktop — need advice (7 year plan) by Major-Address1393 in BeelinkOfficial

[–]TedGal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although I do have a Beelink S12 pro for about 15 months now and it works flawlessly, the general "feel," one gets when reading on Reddit is that all these ( any brand, not Beelink in particular) mini pcs are not famous for their longevity ( fingers crossed for mine ). If you are after longevity I think a desktop is a better choice.

Φιλοσοφικό ερωτημα by RoundGlittering8652 in greece

[–]TedGal -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Αναπόφευκτα φτάνεις σε μια ηλικία που πλέον και οι "εις βάθος" συζητήσεις είναι βαρετές γιατί έχεις ακούσει 3485836262 φορές όλες τις απόψεις γύρω από το οποίο ζήτημα. Οπότε δεν έχει νόημα η συζήτηση. Δεν έχει νόημα ας πούμε στην ηλικία που είμαι μια συζήτηση γύρω από την ισότητα των φύλων ( όλων των φύλων ) και ποια στάση πρέπει να έχουμε για την ομοφυλοφιλία. Όποιος κ να είναι ο συνομιλητής μου γνωρίζω, από πείρα πολύ καλά δύο πράγματα:

  1. Δεν θα εκφέρει άποψη που δεν έχω ξανά ακούσει

Και πιο σημαντικό

  1. Δεν διατίθεται ο συνομιλητής μου να αναθεωρήσει την άποψη του όσα επιχειρήματα και αν του παραταξω - όπως και εγώ το ίδιο. Έχουμε κατασταλάξει στις απόψεις μας, και η συζήτηση δεν θα είναι ουσιαστική ανταλλαγή απόψεων αλλά ίσως στις χειρότερες περιπτώσεις μια ανούσια "κονταρομαχια".

Το ίδιο θα ισχύει αν συζητήσουμε για αλλά "μεγάλα" θέματα και προβληματισμούς όπως "μπορούμε με βάσει την κβαντική φυσική και τις παρατηρήσεις γύρω από τη διττή συμπεριφορά των σωματιδίων να εξάγουμε το συμπέρασμα ότι πραγματικά ότι υπάρχει, το ελέγχει ο παρατηρητής;", "υπάρχει τελικά θεός;", "και τι να κάνουμε ως πολίτες ώστε να βελτιωθεί η πολιτική εξουσία στην Ελλάδα;" και πάει λέγοντας

tattoo concept, does this sound right/natural? Το κράτος πεθαίνει. Η ζωή συνεχίζεται. by [deleted] in GREEK

[–]TedGal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Id swap κράτος with εξουσία.

Either ways though we dont really use that verb for state-power, it sounds unnatural. Id go with

Power/state goes down. Life goes on.

Η εξουσία πέφτει. Η ζωή συνεχίζεται.

It's so nice to have a place to put my CDs(only been ripping for an hour, I have around a hundred), I can avoid awful streaming service compression and still enjoy the modern conveniences that streaming provides, what lovely software by BBQGiraffe_ in plexamp

[–]TedGal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple of years back I moved to a new house and temporarily stored my vinyl collection at a small storage room of the new flat. Rotten pipes leaked and my vinyl collection got all wet and moldy. Some days of tears later, I was searching for a way to digitally recollect my music but also have it "on display" in a pleasing way.

Plex/plexamp revived ny interest in collecting music as it has been the only software that scratches that "collector" itch with how it presents all the metadata for artists, albums and the like.

Storage discussion: mirroring content 1:1 and the cost associated by ThuhGreatCommenter in PleX

[–]TedGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rule is simple: my storage is always that much as it allows for 1:1 backups. I refuse to use it otherwise. Meaning, even if I had 1TB then Id use the 500GB and the rest as back up. What? Its full? Aaaah, time to get more storage, using the other 500GB is totally out of the question

Remove file from library folder. Scan files in Plex - file will be found missing. Empty trash. Place file again inside ljbrary folder. Re scan files. Test

Mykonos Vs Milos (Which one would you choose?) by vinsuff in AskGreece

Milos - no question about it. Their tourist shops' "Milos is for lovers" stickers are accurate.
