Option 1: lose money

Option 2: more money

Google: chooses option 2

Do any of these services make recommendations for what you can watch next? The way Last.fm shows what other similar people like…it would be good to have something like that for TV and movies tailored to my tastes.

It’s human nature for people to feel upset by their message being undermined…but they should be able to get over it.

The bigger problem I have is that the downvoters don’t know how to USE downvotes. Instead of downvoting inaccurate content or engaging in any reasoning, people just downvote what they personally don’t like and disagree with. Which is bullshit.

I’m reading a green text post here, and then the comments are analysing the situation as if this is r/amitheasshole. What’s going on Lemmy?

That city is one of many in civilisation 6.

Sunday: when we’ve got a party planned for my 4 year old’s birthday with his nursery friends.

Saturday: my father heard this is happening, thought he could invite some people to our party; and now we have extended family coming from out of town who say they will come on Saturday and stay overnight.

Linux Mint is the common suggestion and a solid option.

I tried a lot of distros myself and I’m 10 months into switching to Linux. My personal suggestion would be OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

Thanks. I’ll check it out. The downloaded files were 35GB for 1080p resolution. Don’t know what the hell it was doing.

Synology NAS. I think it is a DS220+ or something like that.

You can make a DIY NAS with an old cheap PC. Or pay a premium for Synology and they make things a bit easier (although setup can still take quite a learning curve if you don’t know about this stuff).

I’ve used Mailbox.org for years as a service that replaces most of my Google services at once. I know you just asked for email and Mailbox is worth checking out.

For keyboards, 60% layouts can be bought prebuilt. If you want something smaller than that then you’re likely looking at DIY build territory or maybe a one handed gaming keyboard.

For a mouse, you can get really tiny portable mice that are low weight. If you want something that doesn’t tie you down to finding desk space, then you can look at trackball mice (fine for strategy games, not great for FPS).

1. Mostly Lemmy/Reddit/social circle recommendations

2. Download

3. I used to download directly to my phone and watch there. Then I got a NAS and started copying from my phone to the NAS. Then I set up download software on the NAS to have it always on. Then got Plex set up. Then the Arr’s (although these are janky and I end up doing a lot of manual additions).

4. Plex

I would highly suggest getting a NAS and playing around with it. Self hosting is complicated, but I got it as a “dumb” network drive on my LAN. Then slowly I started adding on different Docker containers and added to it. Each setup was a painful learning process of errors and troubleshooting, so don’t try to do everything in one go.

You don’t even need to be a pirate for self hosting. You can buy dirt cheap physical media on eBay and rip it to make a pretty huge personal library on the cheap.

Efficiency is making the same structure work for dual purposes…like garbage disposal + procreation.

Lemmy as a Reddit replacement.
