    Cheap domain name and VPS sellers for Pangolin?

    . .top Was thinking that 'surf' would have been fun, but I decided to go for whatever had the cheapest registration and renewal costs. Was initially thinking of a Batman themed one, but couldn't think short and sweet enough.

    Cheap domain name and VPS sellers for Pangolin?

    I got a cheap deal and it got processsed immediately, so thanks! I'm streaming from Jellyfin from the server, which might be a little dicey and go against Oracle T&Cs.

    Cheap domain name and VPS sellers for Pangolin?

    I've got a small Rpi4 server setup, which runs Jellyfin, Paperless and Wallabag. I plan to add Audiobookshelf and maybe one or two more small things to tinker around with. My current setup with tailscale for remote access isn't convenient for my less tech savvy folks who wanna access it. I plan...

    Other Any decent site for buying a Kobo ereader from? mx2games, desertcart, ubuy trustworthy?

    How is the comic reading experience for you? I'm used to reading them on my ipad on Chunky, but have been curious about what the colour e-reader experience is like, especially perhaps for manga as well. Koreader is pretty, pretty cool on my jailbroken paperwhite. Wireless calibre auto transfers...

    PC Peripherals Which Printer ?

    I'm not sure about other series, but the HP 3630 I have has become a little bit of a nightmare to use. Doesn't allow you to print via phone unless you use their stupid app which requires a mandatory registration. Got around it by sending prints via the laptop, but still. Don't think I'll go the...

    FS: Video Card Scammer / Dont trade

    I do personally know of one case where the cops actually were able to find and freeze the assets of the scammer, and eventually the person got their money back (around 80k), but it was a long process. The cops did seem like they wanted their palms greased a little to eventually access the cash...

    Goodbye Avast, and good riddance; Hello, Bitdefender.

    Advice on RPi4 Jellyfin Setup

    Not yet, but I'll look them up. Currently running pi-hole locally on my windows device, will upgrade to a network wide setup when I've got a redundancy to back it up.

    Goodbye Avast, and good riddance; Hello, Bitdefender.

    I believe they call this 'enshittification' these days. Fitting.

    Goodbye Avast, and good riddance; Hello, Bitdefender.

    Ah, I picked up a Bitdefender family plan for around 2.7K. Might have to see these other options mentioned here, since they say they'll change 9K (!) next year.

    Goodbye Avast, and good riddance; Hello, Bitdefender.

    I've only recently started getting into containers and the like, though I've run everything 'bare-metal' so far. Will look into proxmox and the like soon and do this migration. That was also in the running, but I flipped a coin and picked bitdefender. The anti-Russian stuff played a role...

    Goodbye Avast, and good riddance; Hello, Bitdefender.

    I know, I know. You don't really need an anti-virus, just common sense and windows built-in security. Or just switch to Linux. But I mess around too much with random things and sail a little here and there and I needed a a plan anyway for my parents- so I thought it's best to be safe. Plus, I've...

    Amazon silently removing download and transfer options of your Kindle books from 26th February.

    This move by Amazon finally got me to jailbreak my kindle using Winterbreak. Quite easy, all things considered. And KOReader has a flawless wireless sync with Calibre, which is just fantastic. No more hit and miss 'Send to kindle' nonsense.

    Any tips on saving mobile plans?

    Makes sense. My father recently had to get a post paid airtel plan, and everyone at home already has airtel, so I'll try and see if we can transition to a more economical family plan at home too. The mobile data pool sounds particularly good. And I won't have to keep recharging my younger...

    Any tips on saving mobile plans?

    Damn, this thread has opened my eyes. I always thought getting the cheapest pre-paid yearly plan was the way to go- think airtel has put it at around 1.9-2K now. Data recharges have also becoming a little irritating, since they've putting monthly limits, rather than till then end of the plan's...

    Your favorite Android Launcher ( Paid or otherwise ) and why ?

    Man, I just learned about Nova becoming spyware. That sucks, I've been using it since forever, transferring my setup across phones for the better part of a decade now. I'll try blocking the spyware like some members above have done, but I might shift to a FOSS one as well. I've looked at stuff...

    Any Extreme Privacy Enthusiasts Here? Share your setup.

    That does sound cool, will have a look! I've seen the name pop up when I've surfing around the self-hosting sub-reddit, but never checked it. I like the name though, always liked that animal.
