I named mine after Rocket League cars.

Ah. I use it on X11/i3.
Oh yeah, the OBS thing. Yeah, I guess these are the reasons I’ve felt like Flatpaks are a bit more stable than AUR packages. They might take up more space or whatever, but it’s nice to know they work like they’re supposed to, especially commercial stuff like Spotify and Slack etc. I just wish Flatpak software integrated better with the rest of the system without extra configuration.
Cool. Could you elaborate? Because I only do this because of some kind of gut feeling… 😅
One note about Waterfox is that I would have liked if it was added to the official Arch Linux repos. I installed fine with the AUR, but still.
I tend to go with Flathub before the AUR, if available. 👍
I tried Zen on Arch. Wouldn’t even load pages. I’d avoid it for a while. 🤷♂️
1·14 days agoI think that is incorrect in my case. Plex did not come preinstalled on my TV – I installed it via the LG app store on the TV itself. Same with Jellyfin. I have both, and they both update when there are updates available. I have the latest versions.
My TV supports direct play, both in Jellyfin and Plex, so I am streaming 4K HDR with Dolby 7.1 over WiFi 6 without any buffering issues ever. Streaming is not the issue. The navigation lag and startup time for Plex only is the issue.
I use the one for WebOS on my LG TV.
The web client and Android client are lighting fast compared to the TV. Like normal apps loading normal content.
The TV app on the other hand takes like 20 seconds just to get past the splash screen, and then another maybe 10 seconds to show first content. And navigation is laggy af. Just absolutely brutal.
Someone once said this is intentional to get you to buy new TVs. I don’t know. Not all apps do this. Jellyfin e.g.
Plex is unbelievably slow to start and navigate through my huge library on my TV. Jellyfin flies.
The search is also much better on Jellyfin on my TV, because I can use the system keyboard which supports voice to text via the remote. Plex on the other hand has no debouncing, so pressing each key just makes a new search and it’s slow as sh—.
I also had it outperform Plex when Plex couldn’t play an audio language track where Jellyfin could.
However, it doesn’t seem like Jellyfin is as good at figuring out duplicates/versions of the same media? It shows up as two identical posters of the same thing without any discernible info until you step into the media page of the thing (movie/episode).
All in all, a very good complement to, if not replacement for, Plex. 8/10. I’m proud of them!
It would’ve been satisfying had I not wasted my entire summer 💀
Reminds me of when I was in University and catching up with some lab work over the summer to get a passing grade. Was doing some 3D programming assignment and I spent I think 5 weeks debugging my stuff.
Turns out I needed to transpose two adjacent lines of code. No syntax errors, no runtime errors, just graphics pipeline not outputting what I expected. Was a nightmare. And not even satisfying to figure it out.
Yeah, for scripts that should be the norm. It really helps with legibility and maintainability, not having to have the manual open for 5 programs while tweaking stuff. 👌
Alright, cool. Thanks for replying!
Any way to get YouTube’s recommendations as well, and not just subscriptions? I mainly watch stuff from my recommendations, which are usually exactly what I want to see. Been honing my alg for decades. 😅
Do not look up at the sky. Do not make noise.
Very good advice. I think it sounds like you came out of all this with a lot of insight along with the inevitable damage/baggage. And that’s honestly a bit of a win. That’s awesome.
Thank you for sharing. I hope this helps others who are going through the same thing, or are putting their kids through the same thing.
And I’m actually so, so sorry you had to go through that. I can’t imagine the anxiety. I love you,
manperson. You’re strong. 💯
parenting decision of theirs
What do you mean their decision was? Did they make you promise to do better next time? Curious, as I’m a parent. 😅
Bravo, dude. I like 'em.
