Bodhi Linux. I have an old hp desktop and it only has 2 gb of ram and 2 cores. I wanted a real lightweight distro and settled on arch linux but one day i tripped and knocked the tower over. When i booted it back up i had the infamous blinking underscore. I tried reinstalling arch multiple times and it kept failing, so i tried a lightweight arch based distro called archbang, same issue. I tried manjaro same issue.

At this point i wanted to try something not arch based but wanted something that came with minimal preinstalled programs like arch. Research led me to bodhi which is a light weight distro based on ubuntu. Installed with no issues and been using it ever since, about 3 years now.

Don't know what i damaged on the motherboard but it must have been something integral to arch based distros, but i'm kind of glad it happened because i love bodhi now

It has allowed an ancient computer to do so much. I've run matrix servers and web servers, written my own webapps to run on it and so much more

They are both media servers. Plex is closed source and requires you to make an account with them to use whereas jellyfin is open source and requires no account.

Basically when you set them up you just pick a directory for movies and tv shows and any video files in that directory can be streamed thru the app or web ui

I prefer jellyfin because of the differences i mentioned earlier but i use both (you can point them at the same directories). I haven't really had any issues with jellyfin performance but run plex as a backup.

Plex has plex shares too where you can stream other peoples content from your server. Idk if jellyfin has that feature

Arr and stremio serve different purposes. If you just want to watch content yourself then do stremio.

If you want to keep certain movies yourself and want to supply a streaming service to friends and family then arr is better.

Arr has ability to watch your content with no internet.

If your into foss software arr is also way to go

Nice. Just want to point out that there is jellyseerr for jellyfin as an alternative to overseerr.

There is also reiverr which is new which allows managing sonarr,radarr, and jellyfin (basically it providers an interface to watch jellyfin content and also add episodes and movies to sonarr/radarr. I use reiverr for me as admin but it doesnt do requests as of now so i keep jellyseerr for my users

There is also watchtower on docker that automatically updates your images

And finally there is rdt-client (real-debrid torrent client) which is a real debrid client that pretends to be qbittorrent and allows sonarr/radarr to download from real debrid instead of torrenting it

  1. Doesn't really matter imo. Internally maybe slightly faster, maybe some games require internal, but i run games on my external, loading may go slower unless you have a nice chunk of ram.

  2. Seed

  3. What do you mean by safer? Both can be dangerous if it executes code. If you mean getting caught torrenting leaks your ip address (hence why people use vpn)

If you dont want to spend money there is i2p, set up an i2p router, configure a browser to use it, http://2.postman.i2p is a tracker there, just paste the magnet into i2psnark, no vpn required.

Note it will be much slower download

Tor typically discourages torrenting. But i2p has torrenting capability built in and has there own trackers

Been playing witcher 3 and hollow knight. Just beat final boss of hollow knight and now i'm going around clearing the rest of the bosses i missed

Why is the vpn necessary when you have https to the bank? Just to hide you're ip from the bank?

The combat is clunky but let's be real, does anyone play it for the combat?

[-] neosheo@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago

Honestly i just play the originals. I don't need a remake

Isn't it sad that we have to do all this to prevent our information being spread around the corporate world like a virus
