It would be nice if they could do the update with a single reboot. It is annoying to type LUKS password multiple times.

I have the keyboard plugged into a monitor and accessing the USB hub is seriously complicated, so that's not really an option for me.

But I could try locking the system. I just hope I won't lock myself out for few hours, because I have pressed Enter multiple times while cleaning it.

It would be nice if there was a button or some app that could temporarily disable the keyboard, so it could be cleaned without accidentally changing settings for a running app, writing your boss you are not coming to work on Monday, firing few nukes, or wiping your whole system.

Thanks. It looks like Plex does have more user friendly features, but still no info about relations. That's a bummer.

It is really important to know the watch order (even if I had to specify it manually). When I think about it, Jellyfin probably fails even for the simplest watch orders like The Lord of the Rings; not to mention Stargate (Movie 1 -> Show -> Movie 2+3).

Maybe I have missed it somewhere? The UI is pretty confusing.

I never had the chance to try Plex, but how does it compare to Jellyfin? What kind of features does Plex have and Jellyfin does not and vice versa?

Examples of basic features I'm missing in Jellyfin:

  • Create a user-defined collection (like group of favourite movies)
  • Adding user-defined tags
  • Filtering by tags or any meaningful filtering
  • Filtering by languages (however this could be done by using combination of 2 different plugins that add tags and create collections)
  • [Important] No movie/show relations (e.g. The Lord of the Rings 1 -> 2 -> 3)
  • No way to know if movie/show belongs to any collection

I'm really glad that me and my friends decided to build new PCs the second we saw the first rise in RAM prices. It would have been hard to survive this on our 7-10 years old builds.

Hey guys,

I have created a few guides for editing save files for the Colony Ship game that I have been playing. It may be a little bit late after the release, but I still hope someone finds them useful.

Here is the website link: BiscuitGuides

I have been inspired by the original guide that I found on the Steam Community page and I wanted to say thank you and post the link there, but thanks to the Steam's nonsense restrictions I cannot do that. I would really appreciate if someone did that for me, so it could help more people.

And that's why the only correct choice is a piracy. We just cannot afford to waste that kind of money on unfinished games. Especially while the economy is getting worse and worse.

Or one could play FOSS games. However, in such case I would still recommend supporting the developers as much as one can, if the game is enjoyable. Usually, those games are better than any AAA game that came out lately.

Interesting. I haven't noticed any change, but it is possible I haven't been paying enough attention because I don't use my phone when I'm sititng in front of PC.

I'm running GrapheneOS on Pixel 8 and my battery usually last around 4 days. It could probably last longer if Element (Matrix) wasn't running all the time on the background.

For that long? There are only a few left:

  • Firefox
  • Thunderbird (not loving it, but it is ok)
  • 7zip
  • My own app for sorting and moving files
  • My own password manager

If I include games then:

  • OpenTTD
  • Quake III Arena (for LAN parties)

There were more that I loved, but I have stopped using them a month ago. (Because I switched to Linux):

  • MusicBee
  • FastStone Image Viewer
  • MPC-HC + madVR
  • StrokesPlus
  • Q-Dir
  • Malwarebytes Firewall Control
  • Input Director

This looks like a awesome organization system app. I may decide to use it in the future for insurance purposes when I move to my own place. But I feel that it is a little bit cumbersome to use for my use case. Thanks for the suggestion.

That looks great for storing documents. However it is not really suited for storing receipts with multiple items and does not really track warranties. Still, good to know about it at least, thanks.
