I started with a Raspberry Pi connected to an external hard drive. As my collection grew I built a server. It has NAS rated drives in RAID with a low end CPU and modest GPU. Now I have a large collection and everything is transcoded on the fly.
I also use the server to host Immich. So I no longer need to use Google photos or drive.
I wrote a bash script to check for updates to channels I like. It runs nighly via cron. If there is a new video it automatically downloads it using yt-dlp to my Jellyfin library. There is a yt-dlp flag that incorporates sponsor block. Since I download videos overnight large channels have already been included by sponsor block. So I get videos completely ad and sponsor free.
Everything is done behind a VPN. This approach allows me to completely bypass using a browser further protecting me from tracking.
When I wake up in the morning I have all the new videos from my favorite channels ad and sponsor free. I can watch from my computer, phone, or TV. If I’m away from my home network I use Tailscale to stream to my location.
The only downside I experience is not getting to watch the video until the day after upload.
I use ublock origin for my browser and use Mullvad DNS with content blockers. I don’t know what VPN you use but as long as you can set your own DNS then Mullvad servers should work.
If your router allows you to set the DNS server you can block ads network wide.
Do you mean Lion’s Mane?
No, it was to distract from the Epstein files. The benefit to Russia was not even considered by the pedo if chief.
Does anyone know a VPN that allows port forwarding that also is truly anonymous? I’m looking for something like Mullvad that does not require email and accepts monero.
I’m also open to recommendations for a seedbox that accepts monero.
I had one and only put gas in it when taking a trip out of town. On a road trip I would get about 38mpg. Not great for what is was but better than anything else I owned before. I had that car for 5 years and 120,000 miles.
The fact that I used 0 gas for my daily use brought the cars lifetime mpg to 163mpg!
Also, I learned the hard way that gas can go bad fairly quickly.
What worked for me was to mount with fstab by UUID and set the group ID to your video group.
UUID=“your uuid” /mnt/external exfat defaults,uid=1000,gid=“your group id”,umask=002,nofail 0 0
They were dried. I estimate there were about 30 tiny mushrooms in that 2 grams. I ate about 20 of them.
I have read that an abort contains the same amount of psilocybin as a full grown mushroom. If so, I overdid it by 18 mushrooms.
I knew they would be potent but didn’t think they would be that strong.
I once had APE aborts. I bought 2 grams and within 2 minutes, while I was still eating them, I began to feel it. I only ate about 1.5 grams and it broke my brain. It was not my first time with psilocybin but it was my last. I’m afraid of it now.
All that to say it does not take half an hour in all cases.
I never understood why windows updates take so long.
I can format and reinstall a linux distro in 10 minutes. I can update everything after that reinstall in 5 minutes.
On the same machine a windows update takes almost an hour. A format and reinstall can take several hours.
What is windows doing that takes so much longer?
Just because you pay a subscription to avoid ads does not mean your data is not still being harvested and sold. The big exception is now they have a payment method tied to a specific person not just an ad profile.
