Absolutely!
And I’ve had companies offer me a discount on product, rather than a full refund or replacement. I always refuse and state how disappointed I am. They pretty much always follow up with a full refund or new product.
Hell, I even ordered an indoor spin bike, complained that it used non-standard crank arms, and they refunded me $100 to replace the crank arms and pedals! Just for stating that I was unhappy with one aspect of an otherwise great purchase.
I’ve had Amazon listings where the title, description, specs on the box, specs on the product, and the reviews ALL had different information.
Who creates these listings? AI?
That said, I strongly encourage anyone who shops on Amazon to complain about issues in your reviews, and contact the seller if ANYTHING is wrong with your product. I have a 99% success rate of getting replacements or a full refund while doing this (resulting in basically a free product), even if the issue is cosmetic or a personal dislike. Just be honest.
Floccus is what I use for bookmarks.
Works across pretty much any browser and on Android (maybe iOS, I’m not sure). I’ve got it set up on my Synology NAS through webdav, and it’s been reliable.
I do also use Linkwarden, but that’s more to collect web pages, and not just bookmark them. The archive feature is great, since it doesn’t rely on the page still being live to work.
Linkwarden and Floccus are very different, IMO.
Been using this for a few weeks on my synology nas. Absolutely love it!
I use Rustdesk for 99% of my remote desktop needs (RealVNC only for my Raspberry Pi).
I will add that self-hosting Rustdesk makes it reliable and fast. When I use the public servers, it was not a good experience.
I’m running it off my Synology NAS through docker.
Was using Mull and now with Iceraven. Add-on support for both has been awesome.
Of every device, individually from what I just had to experience.
It should always be opt in.
My wife is using Smarttube on a TV that has one of there Chromecast dongles, but our main LG TV doesn’t have that option.
I’ve been using FreeTube through Windows on a MiniPC, but it’s not an elegant solution. LOL It does work, though.
I’m using pinchflat
Well. I just installed it and the folder/file structure is definitely better! Now I have to figure out how to get Jellyfin to “see” the download directory. LOL
Thanks for pointing me to another solution.
EDIT: Got that sorted out. Goddamn, it just works! Thank you!
do you re-watch enough YT videos that you need to archive your subscriptions?
Well, if I can get it working, I would much rather be watching via Jellyfin on my TV and not whatever crappy, privacy-invading, ad-shoving Youtube app I’m forced to use.
But realistically, I want to keep some how-to / maintenance videos archived, because I’ve lost track of how many times they went “private” and can’t be accessed anymore. Some really niche product use/maintenance videos tend to disappear.
I have no real interest in data hoarding vlogs or other crap. Just informational stuff.
Yes, that’s the first one I tried.
Maybe I’ll keep trying, but I don’t want to commit to tube archivist until it plays nice with jellyfin. 🤞
I appreciate that! Thanks.
I’d rather update anything that’s old, as long as it stays on the same OS version (Bullseye and not Bookworm).
With newer versions of Raspian or any version of Linux, there seems to be a software update GUI that makes this pretty easy, but I’m taking stabs in the dark with this legacy version.
Nothing on there says it needs a legacy version, but I may be overlooking something.
It took several attempts (with failures) to get it installed on the latest Raspian version, then after some digging I saw that the requirements said to use “An SD Card with the 64-bit version of RaspiOS installed (please use Bullseye)”.
With Bullseye installed, BirdNetPi works just fine, but it is old and comes with old software.
I pause videos to read what’s on screen.
An add-on that screenshots on pause would fix this. But yes, I understand the use-case as I do the same. Google doesn’t give a damn (about users).
An add-on that simply overlays a black box when you pause is easy enough.
Synology user running some docker containers.
Very, very little maintenance. If there’s an update for something on docker, a simple click in the container manager, and it’s done. Yes, I can automate, but prefer to manually do these as many of the docker apps I use are in high development and I like to know what’s changing with each version.
Synology packages update easily, and the system updates happen only once in a while. A click and reboot.
I’ve tried to minimize things as much as possible, and to make things easier for me. One day, someone in my family will need to take over, and I don’t want to over-complicate things for them, lest they lose all our family photos, documents, etc.
I probably spend more time keeping the fans on my actual NAS clean of dust, than I do maintain the software end of things. LOL
edit: spelling
I’m curious to know how many of those men wanted kids?
We all know that men don’t have a say in whether a pregnancy will continue, so I can see at least one explanation that could easily account for the tension in those families, and the observation you’ve had.
Also keeping mind that this was in family court, not the average family.
I know some spectacular fathers who put in way more effort then their wives. Don’t throw all men under a bus.
The Phillip OneBlade is especially good if your skin is sensitive to razors. It doesn’t give a “razor clean” shave, but that’s the point.
It gives businesses a very easy to way to set up monthly payments, one-time donations, accept forms of payments other than e-transfer (which many people don’t want to use), allows for international purchases without being penalized, and more.
Other options are available, but they are neither easy/cheap/convenient for the business or any better for the customer.
