Install a 12-pack of wd40 in my window, got it!

Maybe, like magnets?

Thanks, but I couldn't figure out where in Flatseal this would be possible.

However I managed via the Discover software center, you can actually select to install from flathub or flathub (user), the first option seems to install it for all users.

Woah, thanks for that. Didn't have time yet to look into it and this is quite helpful!

I think that's just you, dude.

I see, thanks. Then I will lookup how to install some apps globally. Won't need everything but a base set of apps that all users will need.

Just installed Bazzite and it seems to work well so far.

Then I added a second standard user to the system and thought they'd have access to all software I just installed for the main user. But that doesn't seem the case, Bazzite prompted me to install all those again for the second user.

Is that just a thing with immutable distros or did I do this in a wrong way? I tried looking this question up, but I couldn't find any info on multi user setups with immutable distros.

When there is a train station and a McDonalds you will find questionable people. So much truth in that.

So that works with the latest Jellyfin version? Do you happen to use the Findroid client, does it work there too? I guess I will give it a try either way. Thanks!

I am a bit late to the party in that I only today updated to the latest version. I now see that the intro skipper plugin from confused polar bear (or whathisname...) isn't working anymore. I guess that was bound to happen after the archiving of the repo.

Is there a working fork out there? I found a few threads here and there but the only forks I saw people mention seemed to also stop working after 10.9.3? Or did that get fixed?

It's OK. He moved on. To the spot on the other end of the lot.

This guy has been living in East Germany since fucking 1985. It saddens me to read this. Fuck the AfD.

Alternative to RaspiCheck (raw.githubusercontent.com)

I have a small self hosted setup at home with a RaspberryPi and an external HDD, just enough for what I need.

Some time ago I found a pretty sweet app which from the name implies its mostly working when you use a RPI OS, to monitor the RPI from your android phone: https://github.com/eidottermihi/rpicheck

Its called RaspiCheck (picture in the post is the one from github), and unfortunately it is seriously outdated and development ceased. It is still working on my current phone but I am well aware that's not going to last.

So I am wondering what else is out there that could fill the gap it would leave.

I am using it for 2 things mostly:

  1. monitor system stats, like simply seeing the system is running (I know, like ping), but at the same time also showing memory, average load, temperature and so on.
  2. sending SSH commands, and this is where the app really shines. Using a terminal on the phone is not impossible, but boy is it annoying. In RaspiCheck you can define commands, with placeholders, which allows you to send those to the RPI just by tapping them. So for example I got my backup set up that I can mount the backup drive with one tap, a second tap runs the right backup script (I have several I can choose from by filling the placeholder I leave in that command) and then unmount with a third tap.

I got other commands I like to reuse a lot set up in it and its really useful to me, let's me manage the RPI from my phone in an easy way.

So back to the question at hand, is there anything else like this out there for Android? If possible one app, FOSS preferred. I am pretty sure there are browser-based solutions, if there is no dedicated app other than this, then I guess that's the next best thing. What are you using in your setup that you can recommend?

I have been planning to install Kinoite on my laptop, dual booting with Windows.

However depending on what I read online, it is either not possible, not recommended, tricky to setup or it is just a matter of setting partitions up before installing Kinoite. Broad range of opinions and no good "tutorial" how to do it.

Anyone having direct experience with that?

Let's work from home when the kids are sick, thank you great company that I am allowed to slave away for you while taking care of my sick kid! It isn't even a US company it seems.

Edit: guess I should have posted to unpopularopinions instead!

I just wanted to add I cut off the photo of the person on purpose. She is posting that with her sick child in her lap and that photo has been taken by some other person, not a selfie. If you are not feeling that the content of the post is bad, you hopefully still agree that presenting your sick child in an almost professionally looking photo to the world for LinkedIn clout is not great.

I don't play this but it now features Banana guards and maybe other AT characters.

Not going to spoil what that is though...

Finally made it through after starting long time ago (like... a year back). Was just watching a few episodes at a time when I felt like it and it was my first rewatch since it finished airing.

Can say it really held up well! Definitely rewatchable more than once! Lots of details I forgot about, like the whole deal between Finn and Huntress Wizard. Still think he should have gotten together with Canyon, Billy's ex, they had a good vibe.
