Simple Answer: No

The moment you need to think about what distribution you need to choose from is where it’ll stop any (dumb)user. Most people want a simple process with very little thinking.

If you are interested in learning linux and willing to take the time to understand the entire process that comes with it then yes.

I was in a similar boat. Initially, I ran debian with docker but later on decided to check out unraid. It’s pretty easy to get setup, and you have a lot of docker containers pre-configured, so you can just click and install. I have it notify me whenever something goes on with it, but outside of that, I don’t tinker much with it.

Only two weird things about it though…

1. You dont install unraid. Instead, you run it through a usb. More specifically, the usb has a specific config that’ll then load everything to your memory.

2. Recently, they redid their pay structure so not too familiar with the changes but you do have to pay for unraid.

Check out Tranga as a direct replacement to Kaizoku.

Awesome, appreciate it.

I believe Tachiyomi was meant to download the manga and view it on Android?

Correct

I forgot what Komga was, is it a downloader?

Similar to something like plex, jellyfin, kavita, etc. Its basically a manga media server. Not a Downloader

For downloading, I ended up trying out “kaizoku,” which is unfortunately no longer maintained. Acts as a frontend for a service called “mangal,” which seems to no longer be maintained as well… Does the job for some websites at least.

The initial pitch will require ID to access porn but then it’ll branch out to any site that hosts NSFW content. Before you know it, every website you access will end up having your internet activities directly tied to you via your ID, and they can further use that data to train whatever models they got cookin up next.

Wish we could just implement some form of federal standards that are aimed towards protecting US citizens’ data instead of just banning a service like tiktok because “China bad”.

Try things out. Get an old pc with some old hard drives no one will want and get to it!

Just install whatever on it and start asking yourself what you want to do with it.

I started on Ubuntu Server and ended up on Unraid. Caused alot of problems along the way but in the end I learned alot to where I dont stress too much when stuff goes south.

Also, when you truly do invest into a proper server. Consider the drives you are buying are gonna die one day. It may take years to happen but it will happen!

For syncing to multiple devices, I would recommend syncthing. Was pretty easy to set up and haven’t had any issues.

Gotta consider users on windows download random programs and blindly follow an installation wizard.

I can’t imagine Hamas being the sole reason behind this decision. Of course at face value it is but feels like they are taking this opportunity to do this for some other reason.

Terrible nonetheless but worried about what else is to happen due to this.

Whats the email? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Honestly, I’m ok with it. Piracy shouldn’t be something that anyone can see. More something people find after looking for it. Yes there is the con to having less users but the more users we have the more risk we take on.

It’s funny how everyone said they would give up on netflix once the whole password sharing was tossed out, but here we are with netflix hitting higher numbers and no one leaving. Every streaming service out there is gonna follow the same practice since it’ll make them more money. If you dont agree with how they are doing things, then leave. It’s the only way to influence their decisions.

Installing Windows is easy, but once something goes wrong, troubleshooting becomes more challenging. You have an error code? Yeah, well, try these 100+ things that are the same things you gotta try with every other error code out there. None of those things worked? Well, reinstall windows that should fix it.

Granted, I have plenty of experience with linux at this point to where I won’t stress when something fucks up but ive dealt with my fair share of windows issues as well. The majority of the time, I end up reinstalling windows…

Initially it was just using overseerr and letting everyone that use my server just request what they wanted. I would also just explore overseerr once in awhile to see whats new.

Now though, I have several lists configured in both radarr and sonarr that are made by mdblist that will add the latest popular films/shows. Due to this usually I can just check my server and I’ll already have either the show or the movie without doing anything.

Pure capitalism allows many to abuse the system and that results in what we have today here in the us. Overtime politicians have continued to do patchwork to simply get by for the next one to take over and scrap whatever agenda the previous one had in play. Which makes the problems worst and in turn takes longer to address.

We need both legislation and accountability for alot of things but it seems to be impossible to get both of those things. Hell, I dont care that your rich. Just dont bring everyone down with you when you take that one gamble and it causes everything to crash!

The judge.

Leaves everything behind to become this great lawyer but when the unfortunate happens he has to go back and come to terms with what he thought was once lost.

Not sure why I keep watching it but I do enjoy how it develops.

Depending on how you look at it then yes its not free. Though you could use something like Libretube to prevent both ads and any form of analytical data from being collected.

Though other alternatives like revanced manager prevent ads and give premium benefits. Not sure about the analytical instance of it though.

I worked at a phone store for 4 years and even though many people will say they dont care much for you having an android they will freak out the moment you say you have one. First thing they say is GREEN BUBBLES and then I have to deal with a rant on why they are iphone and what I use instead of so and so app.

In our family, consisting of myself as the oldest, my brother as the middle child, and my sister as the youngest, our birthdays fall within a month of each other. At some point, my mother befriended this particular individual and their family, resulting in them frequently visiting. However, both my brother and I never really liked them due to their behavior, while my sister seemed to be held in high regard and became their favorite. Personally, I didn’t mind this as it meant dealing with them less.

On the occasion of my sister’s birthday, they came over to celebrate and brought along a trunk full of gifts for her. Of course, she was overjoyed with everything she received. After showcasing all the presents for my sister, they surprisingly announced that they also had gifts for my brother and I. They handed us a bag, and upon looking inside, we discovered Arby’s frisbees inside. Apparently, on their way to my sister’s party, they had eaten at Arby’s, and the frisbees came as a bonus with their meals.

Now whenever I see them I think about the fucken frisbee!!!
