  • KDE Manjaro running on 4 or 5 of my machines, pure stability. It sounds like a hardware issue.

    Here are my suggestions to diagnose this.

    Option 1. Setup an ssh server, connect from a second computer (or phone via Termux), execute $journalctl -fe, and observe the journal from your second device when the crash occurs. That should help pinpoint the issue.

    Option 2. If you don’t have a second device, use a non-gui tty, access via Ctrl+Alt+F1. (Usually terminals are available F1 thru F6). Once again execute $journalctl -fe and observe it during the crash.

    Tbh option 2 may just be easier especially if you have minimal knowledge of ssh. Good luck, ping me back if you find this helpful and would like more perspective, and apologies if this doesn’t help you.

    If the entire computer crashes, boot into a terminal and browse journalctl history of previous boots, sorry I don’t have these commands off the top of my head but if you need them and ask I will get them for you.

    Yep. Democrats are complicit. Check out the podcast episode “Americas Hidden Duopoly” to learn more, it’s the Freakonomics podcast I think.

    I’ll try to scrounge up a link: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/americas-hidden-duopoly-2/

    We all know our political system is “broken” — but what if that’s not true? Some say the Republicans and Democrats constitute a wildly successful industry that has colluded to kill off competition, stifle reform, and drive the country apart. So what are you going to do about it?













  • I actually run nox as my primary client because my server is headless so this is certainly relevant. Well, sort of headless, I broadcast a vnc server then use mullvad to manage qbittorrent thru localhost:8080.

    Or if I wanna manage it from a different computer, create a ssh route to the server from that computer, and well… do the same thing as above.

    The limitation was that I need to open a web browser for both of those scenarios, and I just want to do everything thru the terminal. I know, I’m weird. Ideally I’d love to have a fully featured CLI interface but for now just simple stuff.

    Just don’t wanna go reinventing the wheel. But if my project is original then I will continue to work on it and share it once it’s a bit more polished. The community can always use more projects, right?



  • I have an LG TV. Yes, the jellyfin client app is available in the LG store. You’ll just need to install it and tell it to connect to “IP_OF_YOUR_JELLYFIN_SERVER:8096”.

    Alternatively, the Jellyfin server can broadcast as a DLNA server (in settings somewhere) and your TV’s Jellyfin client may automatically detect the server in that case.

    Speaking to your other question, I use a Sabrent hard drive bay with some 20TiB drives setup as raid 5 logical volumes. It’s a good setup for me.


  • Break your system down with a block diagram. Define the minimum functions and properties for each block. Then create an inventory from that.

    In short, break down your problem into smaller bits. No one knows your requirements and vision better than you. You can do it.

    I use a laptop connected to some external drives managed by a Sabrent 5-Bay Hard Drive Docking Station. The laptop runs Ubuntu Server and hosts media via Jellyfin on raid5 logical volumes shared between disks (to increase read speed).

    I learn by writing documentation. Learn how you learn, that information will be priceless in value to you.




  • It should be a legal requirement to have the options : Yes, No (and don’t ask again unless I go to options and explicitly change my mind).

    There is a popup on OxygenOS (one of the reasons why I use LineageOS) Android whose options are “Agree” / “Exit”, with the implication that Exit just means they’ll ask you again tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, until you give in and Agree intentionally or accidentally.

    I cannot help but draw a parallel in my mind between that behavior and rape.
