Technology@lemmy.world•Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto?English
1·9 days agoI was worried enough about buying a used car in five years, thanks. Nov I have to worry about having the shit infotainment systems that were disappearing on top of having to pay a subscription to release my parking breaks??

Technology@lemmy.world•Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch modelsEnglish
2·10 days agoDo you disagree with me thinking it’s silly to through around credentials on the internet or just how I communicated it?
I did edit after posting to tone it down some but perhaps not enough?

2·10 days agoIt’s pretty silly to through around credentials.
Here’s a video of an OLED TV updating in slow motion. The pixels are on in between updates so it really doesn’t matter how fast it’s updating it’s not going to cause headaches or any of the problems that we used to associate with strobing style displays. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=54E3uUEryZM

1·10 days agoNo, I meant what I said. The article says “hz” and so do other phone manufacturers offering the same feature. It may be marketing wank or technically incorrect but that’s what it’s referred to as.
But, hz of a monitor is not like a car blinker or CRT televisions where it’s off in between the updates. It is on in between the updates, it’s just not the new image. In which case it doesn’t matter how slow your performing the updates because the pixels are just on with a static picture in between the updates.

Ditto. I guess they both just hate this particular accent ¯_(ツ)_/¯
TrueNAS supports cloud backups on a schedule to Backblaze; easy to setup, failure alerts. Then with Syncthing or the like you can have a 2nd copy of data on another computer.
I keep anything of importance replicated to most of my devices all the time (photographs are on laptop, server, phone, documents on all three and a media machine encrypted with version history). Then the server does snapshots for easy data recovery back in time, and a cloud backup nightly to Backblaze for off-site-ness.
HexOS is not cheap, but it’s a nice wrapper around TrueNAS. It supports a simple interface for just enough to cover most simple use cases. Then you can drop into TrueNAS if you want something more advanced.
Though I would love to help, I’m no better with a list of unfinished projects :| I could help setup something over a call at one point but I am probably not a good person to keep you accountable.
I use TrueNAS (HexOS) to host Immich (Google Photos), Paperless NGX (Google Drive sort of), Headscale (Tailscale VPN), Syncthing file sync, Backblaze cloud backups, Emby, etc.
I would recommend Emby over JellyFin personally. I have used Plex, JellyFin, and Emby. Plex is removing the point of using it, JellyFin seemed constantly broken for me. Emby worked the first time, and has continued to work without issue since.


They changed to a random person and gave all abilities to quietly upgrade everyone’s installs to the one maintained by the new random person. Then the new random person disabled things that allowed us to verify the app provided is the same one built from the Github repo. And now the new random person doesn’t communicate well.
