  • Strange, I am rarely experiencing any lag on my four year old mid-range model, browser included. Maybe we have a very different perception of what lag is? Or maybe you have an insane amount of background processes running that bogs down your phone?

    Camera is not great, but I always have a good time looking back at pictures taken with it and it is certainly much, much better than what I took 10 years, let alone 20. If your flip phone took better pictures, something is wrong and there could be ways to fix that.

  • Printers for Linux

    Jump

  • I got the Epson ET-2815 (non-cartridge, tank-based inkjet). Works pretty well with Linux (they have drivers available, but not officially supported). Had to set it up on WiFi via app (which was an annoying process) first though, but I could have just wired it up and then I wouldn't need that. Maybe it is possible to somehow set it up on WiFi some other way after you have connected directly?

    Got tripped up once because I could not connect to it via the utility software (while printing still worked). Turned iut that was due to me being connected to VPN, and for some reason the request went through that (which I think is a little suspect...), so it couldn't find it. So I have to disconnect VPN to do that. You will not have access to this heavy self-cleaning program on Linux, but you should probably avoid it anyway because it wastes a lot of ink and deposits in this sponge you then would need to buy and replace every now and then.

    Biggest issue I had was that it stopped printing some.colors after a while. Had to do a manual cleaning by opening it, removing these dummy cartridges and connecting rubber tubings to the nozzles and pump isopropyl alcohol through. Was a lot of research and took some time to get working again. Think maybe my humidifier was the issue, as it tends to deposit some white powder around my home that I think caused a clog. We'll see this winter as I fire it up again.

    EDIT: Printed a fair amount and the tanks lasts a long time. If you go inkjet, then this is the economical choice. More expensive upfront, but much cheaper in operations. But you still have the drying issue wich could cause you to have to do what I described above. Or print regularly at least. If you don't need color, laser is probably your best bet.

  • To this day I still can't understand what all the "need" for incredibly high-end phones come from. Gaming? That's the answer I've gotten before, and that just leaves me wondering why anyone would want to game on a phone to begin with. Are there other use cases for a phone that actually requires anything top of the line?

    My phone was considered "mid-range spec" when it was released 4 years ago and it is still perfectly capable for anything I would want to use a phone for.

    As for pricing - remember that there are other things than pure specs baked into a price. A locked down phone (i.e. no way of unlocking bootloader) riddled with spyware is likely cheaper than it otherwise would be from a company that won't be able to keep monetizing you as a product after your purchase. That's not to say that there is no such thing as a price mismatch, but matching price vs specs does not tell the whole story.

  • Do you run the files through something like MusicBrainz Picard first? I want to uniformly tag all my music anyway, so I would do that regardless of which media server I used, but it could be doing a poor job if it does not have a MusicBrainz ID associated with it?

  • What kind of issues are you experiencing with Jellyfin? It has worked perfectly for me, but I see the sentiment repeated many times so I guess it's not that uncommon to experience issues. I run it via Docker, mount volumes like I do with other media types, and add properly tagged music in an Artist/Album directory hierarchy. No special tweaking.

    Jump

  • You can export your data from Spotify, and use that as a basis for downloading songs via for example yt-dlp (this can be automated), or slowly build it up again over time in whatever system you set up by buying the albums/compilations containing the songs.

  • The state of Linux phones in 2025

    Jump

  • You can run Android apps on a Linux phone via Waydroid, but banking apps could be an issue if they force these Google intrgrity checks. Grindr probably does not?

    Anyway, you should be able to fire up Waydroid on your Linux desktop and test this beforehand. I have never done this myself, so I might have misunderstood something.

  • Everytime I try to start something with Linux I fail.

    Jump

  • If I were you, I'd make sure to tackle one thing at the time, and set aside some time to figure it out, where the goal is not to for instance play games, but set up a game for play later. That way you can focus on the first part, instead of trying to rush that. So for example, when you are trying to set up Home Assistant, spend time just getting Docker to work first. I've fallen into that trap many times before, where I ended up not reading the messages properly because I was impatient and just wanted to get to the end fast. Once you get more familiar with Linux, this stuff gets quicker because more of the steps involved with any task is familiar to you already, and the troubleshooting threads you find on different forums are less Greek.

    For specifics:

    1. For Docker, when you feel ready to try that again, I'd recommend setting it up together with a GUI, like Portainer. If you follow the official guides to install Docker and then Portainer, you should have a web UI accessible that makes dealing with containers easier. I generally like doing things in the command line, but for containers, I prefer to have a GUI.
    2. When it comes to Home Assistant, I'd honestly go for either Home Assistant Green or Yellow from Nabu Casa (you'd support the Open Home Foundation directly this way). If you want to set it up yourself, I'd go the route of a dedicated single board computer, like a Raspberry Pi, and use Home Assistant OS. I tried to set it up as a container as well before, but there are certain limitations you avoid by just running their OS directly on dedicated hardware. It's been running smoothly for me since I set it up on my Raspberry Pi 4.
    3. It is good to learn about Wine and Bottles, but I'd start out with Steam (and Proton), Heroic and Lutris. I've had much headaches getting stuff to run properly on Heroic and Lutris, but I think the trick here is to avoid Flatpaks for these sorts of things, because there are many dependencies, and you are dependent on a good permissions setup for Flatpaks. Your mileage may vary though, I'm sure there are plenty of people with painless experiences with Flatpaks here.

  • BOSS RC-5 and Linux compatability?

    Jump

  • I got a reply from someone who had got it working under Wine before, so I will go ahead and order it. I will check if the drag and drop-approach works then as well, which would be preferable for any custom tracks. I'll update on what I find out when I get the pedal!

    And thanks for the link to the community, I will definitely follow that one. I fear this can become a very expensive hobby, I have gone from 0 to 3 in a short time, and I find myself wanting ones that I currently don't have the skills to make proper use of...

  • BOSS RC-5 and Linux compatability?

    Jump

  • From the tutorial video I saw (for Windows), that is how you would do it. But it seemed to me that it was not as simple as just dragging in the files, and that you had to use the software to write the files. Another reply here gave two solutions that had worked, so I am just about to order one now. I can update here with what I find when I just browse the file structure.

  • Your fav guide/method for securing Jellyfin?

    Jump

  • What does Jellyfin have to do with that? If you implement acess control in the reverse proxy, requests from non-whitelisted IPs are just not forwarded to Jellyfin.

  • I have mine behind a revwrse proxy (Nginx Proxy Manager), and use a whitelist to allow specific IPs or IP ranges access so my family can use it.

  • They rely on it, that does not necessarily mean that they have written it. I have never heard of Murena being involved in the development of Nextcloud before.

  • How do you like it? We've set it up as a test at work, but we don't really do much office-type document collaboration, so we haven't really tested it much yet.

    What? I don't think this is accurate?

  • Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time?

    Jump

  • I use Nginx Proxy Manager and whitelist my remote users. They all have static IPs though, so its a workable solution for me.

    Before I used a whitelist I would go through the access logs, and could never find any attempts to exploit the endpoints - only some random bots trying to find some admin page assuming it was another service. Not saying you shouldn't take it seriously, but you are likely not subject to these attacks the moment you expose it.

    That said, there is a discussion about these endpoints on their repo. At some point they will be fixed (my impression is that they are hampered by legacy Emby code). When they do, you could do this more securely.
