If the only reason google doesn’t have a monopoly on web standards is because firefox “exists”, then I think Google does in fact have a monopoly on web standards. Other browsers exists besides chrome and firefox ones, some like Konqeror even work pretty well for how old they are, but I think firefox is eventually going to see the same fate as netscape slowly becoming more and more irrelevant, and unlike netscape they can’t exactly sue Google for anti-trust (at least not without losing 90% of their funding)

LibreWolf is better, includes ublock and no tracking by default.

There are good chromium based browsers too, I’m not aware of Vivaldi having any major controversies or shady business decisions in recent years, it has a built in adblock thats independent of chromium’s upstream.

If you disqualify every browser due to its upstream having issues then you should probably revert to using CURL or something convoluted like what richard stallman does. Every browser that exists today is a fork of some browser that previously was good but started to suck.

Nginx was the easiest to setup for me at the time and I’ve no reason to fix what isn’t broken.

I guess I’d ask where the jellyfin shares are at?

I run my own and I’d love to share it with more people

Keylogging or screen recording basically.

You can use any DE you want on just about any distro you want

I think ts great! Sound quality is as good or better. Ive always discovered new music more from yt than Spotify personally so it has about 10+ years of my listening habits to go on and it dies a good job finding new stuff I like

While downloading is technically locked for free {even revanced) users ther are appa like newpipe or ytdlp that you can use to rip the audio in various formats. .

For organizing large collections and playlists I think both Spotify and YouTube are not really good but yt music on the desktop/webui is great where Spotify has a better interface for their mobile app. This might be more of a me problem though because I prefer organizing my collection offline using something like ex falso and musicbrains picard.

In terms of music library size they are pretty much equal, I used soundiiz ($5 service) to export and sync my library from spotify to yt and it got most everything, playlists included.

I think overall it might take some adjusting to if you’re very used to Spotify and its UI but its a very suitable replacement.

Just canceled mine today, hardly used it the past few years anyway because of funkwhale and yt revanced.

I have a google TV device and I didn’t even know they had a free option FROM google, but Pluto and tubi already have ads so not really surprising google would too… I just use jellyfin and smart tube, haven’t seen ads in ages.

Isnt that basically what a number of kodi and stremio addons do?

I’ve had good luck using phind.com for things when I need help because it actually cites sources which give you further context.

However, I don’t get why you would ever use Lidarr. Why would you ever download music using torrents? You can use tools like spotdl and yt-dlp to download songs from YouTube music and Spotify, it’s faster and more reliable; I have had some issues finding torrents of music from less-known artists.

I make use of deezeloader, deemix and/or streamrip, which is what I use because unlock Spotify deezet, qobuz and tidal (supported by streamrjp) have true lossless flac audio available.

Lidar can be extended to work with them instead of torrents.

How do you mean they are spamming?

Mint is a good alterative. It has an xfce edition.

Not Compatible with what exactly? It works on my 20 year old ipod using rockbox, any modern players should support it.

Since FLAC tend to be around 1444kbps I use 144kbps opus and that makes them abour 10% of the size.

Using a live usb is the correct answer since compiling a custom initramfs would require one anyway and just add more steps… Not sure what gives you the impression using a liveusb is “more complicated” but its not.

Can you upgrade the desktop? What speed is your laptops WiFi?

I just use rsync manually until I have syncthig working but these don’t really solve slowdown issues and aren’t mounted. I would look into a better NIC and/or storage for the desktop or possibly your router.

Try using something like iperf to measure raw speed of the connection between your 2 systems, see if its what it should be (around 300-600mbps for wireless to wired locally) and try to narrow down where the bottleneck is.

Frp or nginx are both available on openWRT to do what you want.

Does your device have a headphone jack?

Glad you found what you need. Ive never needed any browser plugins to use JDL2, it just works with copy and past and monitors your clipboard,
