One of the human rights I left off the list was a right to environmental protection. I figured surely that doesn’t apply. But indeed accessing the 2nd-hand market is important for environmental protection. So it’s a good point. I hate being excluded from that marketplace as a consequence of my decision to be FB-free. That would probably be something that would trap me in FB if I had an account.
Thanks for the tip! The #Telestar.de website has the same problem I’m boycotting #Silicondust over (Tor-hostility). I appreciate the information nonetheless, as it’s still useful to know my options.
I never heard of Plex but from my quick gander it seems like a different beast for a different purpose. Correct me if I’m wrong but Plex looks like a Netflix alternative service that needs a media player comparable to Roku, AppleTV, Amazon’s Fire<stick? or something> and an unlimited high-speed internet connection.
MythTV is open source PVR software enabling offline people to anonymously browse a database of broadcast TV schedules and record shows/programs using a tuner. AFAIK, MythTV is the only open source game in town for scheduling recordings. It’s somewhat indispensable to people on capped/limited/shitty internet connections. The recording can indeed be stored on LAN-attached NAS storage and some media boxes can then then play the content.
I could really use a MythRadio of sorts as well because streaming radio is also a non-starter for measured rate internet customers. But it seems nothing exists. There was a DAB radio with a record feature but for whatever reason that thing was discontinued early on.
Even more exotic is a Nintendo wii hacked to serve as a media player, which then plays from a MythTV server. It worked, sometimes. Really flakey though. Sometimes the samba connection would randomly fail, sometimes the FTP connection would fail. It was great to repurpose the wii but i can’t be bothered to work out the bugs to make it reliable. Just a novelty. I also applied the Roku hacks to make an old Roku useful for the same purpose. But again it was hit and miss.. couldn't handle most MythTV videos.
#protonVPN now says that it is not possible to fetch all configuration files in one download. Apparently this capability was silently removed. Did anyone else notice this?
We need someone to copy those files into a git project for transparency and ease of use.
s/exit/edit/ ↑ I’ll write my corrections like this in situations where I cannot edit the content.
Ideally there would be a service that expands on what downinspector.com does. Something that tries to access an URL from various kinds of IPs (CGNAT, Tor, VPNs, public libraries, various regions) to establish whether or not the file is reachable by all people. Then ideally lemmy could be coded to treat links based on whether exclusivity is detected.
In principle this would be in the domain of the #OONI project. But I doubt they have anything like this. E.g. OONI tracks whether a country blocks a domain (https://explorer.ooni.org/domains), but not whether a domain blocks a country.
Hopefully it’s a chatbot, which can bring interesting opportunities for consumers. If you can trick a chatbot to make a favorable statement, it can be legally binding.
True but Amazon would have done the math to begin with. So a complaint would not cause them to do extra math and complaints are probably unlikely to change their calculation.
I boycott Amazon already but if I were an Amazon customer I would not be motivated to help their business by giving them useful customer feedback.
Nonetheless, the complaint was an important factor here.
IMO not enough people complain. I’m ½ tempted to setup a system that mass prints postcards complaining about the countless enshitification of websites.
It sounds useful. Though it doesn’t replace or compete with mythTV AFAICT.. it sounds like something that would work with mythTV. Plex could probably sling content that mythTV collects from the air.
