In this day and age where most of not all modern media library management software can decipher almost anything without any problem, is that really an issue?

I know I can’t escape Google’s Orwellian surveillance entirely but I limit what I can, and adblockers/ trackerblockrers play a huge part in this.

Revanced is pretty much perfect for my needs.

And SmartTube on my Android TV.

Its an in house utility… But I would assume something similar already exists out there

Its a very simple low ressource video server utility that I’m using for easy access at work.

Its basically a stupid low footprint plex-like local web server that uses the browser’s internal HEVC support to play and cast to my TV.

With MS hinting at SAAS for Win12 with Copilot, this will be a good test.

Nobody can profit off “monthly usage credits” or without a subscription.

At least not until the tech becomes more affordable.

Firefox doesn’t have native HEVC support. So I switched to Opera because no other browser except for Safari has that feature.

Supposedly Edge has it, but couldn’t get it to work on my media server app.

I tried Opera on a few of my devices lately and frankly I’m impressed by the responsiveness. I still can’t get rid of Firefox but I find myself moving over to Opera more and morem

Much like GIFs, MP3s will never go away.

Sure there are better alternatives, but widespread adoption over decades now is hard to gloss over.

Why the fuck another hike? The country’s economy had a net regression for the first time in years. Houses, food and rents prices are unhinged. Another hike won’t do anything to help this.

VLC but it wasn’t love at first sight, but it opened a whole new world of FOSS to me

To this day I still don’t know why the fuss about VLC, I prefer MPC-HC

Fuck these guys.

They’ve been staying in an illegal airbnb that had absolutely no windows. I hope the guy who rented the thing rot in a prison cell for 25 years

As much as I would love that to happen, this is basically a death wish

What now? Will he be replaced by one of Putin’s token? Seems like his men were respecting him

Fucked around and found out.

Why? I mean it’s much better to have the messenger app without all the facebook BS.

Its very easy to disregard facebook in 2023, but Messenger is still one of the more prominent messaging app.

Me and my gf got it last week. She got hit pretty hard and had to take a few days off work.
