Nextcloud isn't for backups?

Sure it is, if you use rclone. Might take a while with a slow ass upload speed though.

Shared Crate hosting is fine, if you aren’t uploading passwords or bank stuff or anything super important. Just pictures, and that I share some, who cares.

If you care, get a dedicated server, and use the encryption. Enjoy spending more than $15 per month on it. I’m keeping MEGA too though. But pictures will be shared from Nextcloud from now on. Except, I probably won’t take anymore.

Victrola is junk if you are wondering

The only reason I got the one I got, was for the Bluetooth output, and it no longer works. It’s either connecting to who knows what, or just doesn’t work anymore. No records yet, was listening to the radio, the other reason I bought it.

I could get a Bluetooth transmitter, but that’s around $30. Not sure I care enough. I might just let it collect dust, and do nothing with it. Too lazy to send it back, and it’s massive.

If you just want a record player, somebody said to buy the 1 by ONE Belt Drive Turntable with Bluetooth Connectivity, Built-in Phono Pre-amp, USB Digital Output Vinyl Stereo Record Player with Magnetic Cartridge, 33 or 45 RPM for less than I paid.

Ahh software radio it is, sucks cause it uses CPU. Might make games perform worse sometimes. Also, too lazy to stream it from something else, and use the CPU of the other device instead of the computer playing a game.

That’s what I get for being lazy, junk. Now to lookup the thing to stream the software radio, it’s a command line program.

All the Bluetooth output does is blink, then stops blinking, like it’s connected to something, can’t figure out what. Also, can’t figure out what the cable coming out of the back is for, is that an antenna? No fucking idea. I unplugged the junk from the outlet. Had to put it on the thing the soundbar is on, don’t think any of my shelf’s are big enough. It isn’t heavy, another sign it’s junk. And the buttons feel cheap, like junk.

I should have looked for a Bluetooth output radio instead. But I’ll just stream it over my network, since that’s free.

Don’t believe Amazon reviews, they are all lies. Look it up on Reddit, the brand name. They say it’s junk too, and it is.

1Mii B06TX is a Bluetooth transmitter.

Supposedly, Victrola will wear out records sooner too. I couldn’t get it to connect to my computer, my headphones worked at first, not anymore. If it connected to my computer, I might be able to listen to the radio and play a game. But the multipoint bluetooth on headphones is useless, doesn’t play sound from two things at once. Another option, would be a long ass cable. And plug into soundcard.

Hmmmm, that might be cheaper then that transmitter, but plug into one of the SBCs, if they have a line in input, or use a USB thing. Then stream that over the network. Easier to just stream software radio over the network, no cable needed. I have everything needed. Well, I might have a cable somewhere, or used to.

Got network streaming working using this a working fork of this.

I was going to use some NodeJS crap, but was taking too long, and probably only does mono. Now I wonder how to uninstall all that nodeJS crap. I’m lazy. Too lazy to type sudo apt remove nodejs npm and then the autoremove command. I ran the commands anyways.

Now the router can stream music too.

To play stereo on 105.7M, use http://xxx:8001/105700000/1. Works great, and might kill the router, if it gets too hot. Nice. Then I can buy a new small computer. Under 20% CPU, probably fine. And that installs a service file, so you never have to SSH into it. I’m using VLC, a browser could work, no idea, didn’t try.

Now that’s better then the Victrola crap. Which might still work for records. But still need a FM transmitter. I’ll see if my mom sends the one she bought back. Same model as mine. Might be a bad thing. Does she need the radio? If not, buy the 1 by ONE Belt Drive Turntable with Bluetooth Connectivity, it’s cheaper.

AMD RX 9060

If you go to AMD’s site, it says starting @ $299 for 8 GB, the 16 GB one is $349. I wouldn’t get the 8 GB one, you can’t really do AI with that one very well.

Not sure it’s worth buying at all though, my GPU works fine. Probably less then 16 GB of VRAM, but who cares. If I buy it, it’ll be the last GPU I buy. No idea when it’ll be available to buy either. If not before the end of the year, it ain’t worth buying.

Lots of bad stuff will keep happening, so there’s no need for a GPU. Not all will be political related. At least global warming is a hoax, even though that’s what will wipe out a ton of people. LOL. And fascism is better then socialism. The people that voted for this, don’t know what either are.

Nice

Want to decrease traffic to your site? Use a DDoS service, like Bunny Shield, and set it to the highest level. All them bots can’t get past the challenge. Or at least, I assume that’s why only 4 unique visits yesterday. Could have all been me too.

Also tell trolls to go away. There’s no reason for this site to be getting over 1,000 unique visits a day, and going up. Not anymore though. Should have redirected it to a porn site instead of putting go away on it. And kept it that way. LOL.

Oh wait, only the ones hitting the server on the server stats. Some bots are still getting through, just not hitting the server, nice CDN.

They say that like it's a bad thing

Single forever? Not possible, time doesn’t exist. Also, more like only for the rest of whoever’s current life. Unless whoever has all their memories in their next life, good luck. And all the other people have their memories too. So really, good luck.

That’s a good way to stay on Earth forever, don’t let go. I should have let go when I had the chance.

Just watch The Last Shaman, he had a gf, and didn’t anymore, he realized that isn’t needed. Well, for him anyways. Clearly he didn’t really love her, as he might still be with her.

Letting go is better then having a lover.

Firefox likes breaking itself

The bar that has the address bar, I can’t click, it works for a while, then just randomly stops working. So I can’t even click some extension icons. How many times do I need to restart Firefox a day? Might be time to give up on it, and use Vivaldi. Also, OpenWebRX+ makes Firefox slow, well that is the audio from it lags sometimes, cause Firefox is using an ancient web engine. Probably works flawless in Vivaldi.

Don’t leave OctoPrint open in Firefox overnight, that messes it up too.

So I guess Firefox became the worst browser somehow.

openSUSE package mantainers broke nomacs

[WARNING] [theme] Directory with themes was not found! Report the issue to package maintainer(s). [INFO] [theme] CSS failed to load from: “/var/lib/snapd/desktop/nomacs/Image Lounge/themes/Light-Theme.css”

LOL, that folder doesn’t exist. Just installed with Flatpak, and now it works again. The only image viewer I like in Linux.

No theme, makes it not work correctly, you have to wait or click to load the image, zooming in doesn’t work, going to the next image, and you still have to click it and crap to make it work. Not worth anybody’s time.

I finally investigated the problem properly. There’s a bug report on their Git, somebody using the AUR package, had the same problem.

Legacy Box?

No thanks. If I needed to convert old photos and videos to digital, I’d do it myself. Not hard, and I don’t trust some company with my data. NameCrane has email hosting with file storage, probably better then Mega, I’m just too lazy to cancel Mega and signup for something else.

A better plan, is to use two services.

But there’s really no point, the end times are coming soon, thanks to rich assholes.

Maybe Mullvad exit nodes not so great on Tailscale

SSL errors on my own site. Did the IP get blocked somewhere? No idea, but changing the exit node fixed it. But if you do while playing an online game, you have to restart the game, put me on a different server too, so I didn’t get to play with the same people.

If my host blocked it, I could still access the control panel. I think I’ll blame Bunny CDN. Too lazy to email anybody about it.

Might see if there’s a Tailscale docker image with a proxy in it, so I can use it just for my news downloader, not my entire connection. I don’t use Docker, Podman is better. Uses the same images.

LOL radio person is younger then me, depending on when this aired.

I could always go back to regular Mullvad.

Apple Watch isn't that good anymore

No blood oxygen sensor, and they won’t resolve the issue. Also, they won’t fix the bug that has the wrong time on notifications, so no sound when you get it, because it says it’s from yesterday.

Someday, I might get a Pixel phone and put GrapheneOS on it. If you really want to give Google the finger, buy it from Back Market, Google would get $0 from me, and no spyware on my phone when I put GrapheneOS on it.

The new Pebble watch is better and cheaper. Not available yet, but should be better then an Apple Watch.

Both Apple and Google suck now, they bow down to Trump. Kind of funny Apple did, when they claim to care about the environment, like global warming.

Sucks you need a Pixel phone for that OS basically. Might not live long enough to need a new phone anyways, so no worries.
