  • I agree with this, but would like to add for OP that diversifying is not always a bad idea.

    I have a NAS that is mainly running as just a NAS with a few containers to help me download and categorize stuff. It has a AMD CPU, so no HW transcoding, so I added a N100 to host Jellyfin on the side. That little NUC can also run HA, Heimdall, PiHole, Tailscale or any lightweight container with ease. I do it with Proxmox LXC’s.

    If I wanted to host game servers, I would probably build a server for that on its own anyways, just because it would be more power hungry and need modularity for future upgrades/changes.

    I guess the point is that there is no «one server does it all» for me. I prefer to have servers more suitable for their tasks than having one beast doing everything alone. Makes it suck less when stuff breaks too.

    Otherwise I think the comment above is on point.





  • Not a problem. Google Play is still available, with all apps you have today. If you want to run that, then it works allmost like stock but with more control over everything. Only thing missing is Google Pay and I strugle with RCS messages. I never use SMS so I don’t care about that one and it could be just me.

    Alternatively you can run Google Play Services in a different, sandboxed profile if you’re going for privacy.


  • This is my biggest fear as well.

    We in Europe need to focus on our own security and military future without being to dependant on our unstable partner overseas.
    He won fair and square, which means that this was not just some fluke. It can and probably will happen again in the future.

    If the GOP asks Ukraine to surrender what they have lost, I hope both Zelensky and we as Europe collectively give him a fat middle finger in return.
    Russia must lose!




  • 1: The official Android app didn’t work?
    That’s strange as I run it on a Samsung and Pixel straight from the PlayStore. What were your problems?

    2: This is not required as long as the profile is set up wthout a password.

    3: This depends on the client and codecs supported by it. Newer phones support most, or is able to transcode. Weaker/older units are not.


  • I can’t speak for all Samsung TVs, but I have the Q9FN65 from a few years ago and it has been offline almost since day one.
    Never had any nagging at all and all the pre-installed crap could be removed.

    My biggest gripe with them is the lack of Dolby Vision. Samsung wants people to use HDR10+ which is their own version, but it’s not widely supported. Otherwise it’s snappy and functions well.
