#8 And as a sidenote I took them as hand-me-downs and only stopped using them this year.

I bitch about this every time I’m drive anything but my old truck that still has these!

slow clap

Everyone needs to go watch the movie ‘Barfly’ right now. Its about Charles Bukowski and it’s awesome

As far as I know there is no requirement for them. I assume based on the hardship to absorb the workload

In NY any private company with more than 100 employees is required to provide 12 weeks of protected time off to mothers,fathers and adoptive parents. The state collects an extra paid leave tax from our payroll that pays around 70% of your salary while youre out. You have 1 calendar year from birth/adoption to use the leave

Thanks for the reminder, sometimes I forget to support these important pieces of software.

I feel like us old people need to give a little extra to pay for the next generation of young tinkerers so things can continue to be free

Its comical that in the last 25 years Linux has gone from a nerd-only tool to something that a 10 year old can install on an air-fryer and still we deal with this bs

I’m really going to miss Self-Hosted, it brought a community of us weirdos together. I hope someone fills the vacuum left after ep. 150

They’ve critiqued themselves on this. None of us are completely pure. At least they have an active matrix channel

I feel like its better than google. I switched to DDG a couple years ago. 6 months ago I did a trial run with a self hosted search that only used google as a back end, the results felt like garbage

I have two TV boxes, one is a Raspberry pi 4, the other is a pi 5. I installed KonstaKANG’s android port for the Pi’s. Depending on your familiarity with flashing the Pi’s this video from Explaining Computers offers a way to get Konsta installed through PINN. Once they’re up and running they act just like a cellphone. This remote works really well.

Install f-droid, and/or obtainium, and/or Aurora Store and you can install whatever apps you want on the box.

I don’t personally use Chromecast, so I can’t vouch for that working. Mine is more centered around consuming Jellyfin (jellyfin android tv app), youtube (newpipe), podverse, and Radiodroid

I really liked Kodi, but could never get it to correctly sync across devices so I finally went the android route. I’ve been pretty happy

Feel free to pick my brain if you have more questions

I dont think I so much want this for my phone as for my homemade AndroidTV boxes. Losing the Linux functionality after switching from Kodi/libreelec had been my biggest pain point.

Can’t wait to see my TV boxes show up in my Beszel dashboard!

Fuuuuuckkkk I wish I could degoogle again

Don’t be evil, lol
