I don’t believe those tools download directly from Spotify. They use the Spotify api to gather the metadata then they download the files off YouTube.
As I’ve seen others say, probably what you want to do is download them off Tidal or Quboz. Those YouTube rips suck.
I use a Beelink with an N100. Runs PopOs. I use Plex HTPC on it. Hardware decoding isnt working at the moment but it plays everything fine except HDR content so I’m avoiding that at the moment. Pass through audio work perfectly. I also stream sports on it, play mini games and roms with my kids using Lutris, and Moonlight for the more demanding games.
I used to use Kodi/LibreElec on it but that was such a miserable experience. Constant crashing and (3 or 4 times per day) inconsistent glitchy audio passthrough. The plex integration does mostly work but would also occasionally crash resulting in my stuff not syncing back to the server for days. Playback worked perfectly though.
Is that working better now? Every time I’ve turned it on in the past, half my devices lose connection.
So I’ve been interested in running one locally but honestly I’m pretty confused what model I should be using. I have a laptop with a 3070 mobile in it. What model should I be going after?
I think thats the case for most of us. But for some like myself, it does mean I have to do the monitoring myself now. I can’t complain it was a free service. But it did warn me about a renewal problem before the cert expired, so it was a useful service for me.
Would you look at that, its still $0 for me.
Right exactly it can be as expensive as you want it to be. I have 2 12TB drives going. But you absolutely could just buy a $200 mini PC with a 1TB drive in it. Write a simple shell script that purges content first in first out. Cheap.
American here. Suffering as well. Had to add filters to Voyager yesterday.
Thanks I barely used them out of convenience and now I’ll make a point to stop entirely.
Do you have any more information on the waydroid android tv build? Very interested in that.
Probably just data hoarding downloading tons of content that will never get watched.
Ya I wanted so bad to like Kodi but no matter what I do it crashes at least a few times daily. Constant audio sync problems and lockups as well.
Absolutely on the shorter games. I just do not have time for 30 to 40 hour games anymore. 8 to 10 hours is the sweet spot for me. After that I get bored and the game feels like a drag.
At the end of the day LLMs take in historical data and use it to predict what comes next. Just like humans do. But I guess we can disagree and leave it at that.
I didn’t say that at all. What I said was LLMs solve problems just like a human does. Pattern recognition. Then I asked you to provide an example of one thing a human does that doesnt boil down to pattern recognition. The words we speak and type are patterns. The decisions we make are based on patterns we learned in the past. Thats really all I meant by it.
Can you expand on that?
Right? I see comments all the time about it just being glorified pattern recognition. Well…thats what humans do as well. We recognize patterns and then predict the most likely outcome.
I mean, this place is filled with a bunch of missionaries asking if yove heard the good word of Linux on every Microsoft Windows post lol
I discovered recently that github will flag your account for using a proton alias.
Your not supposed to just trust it. Your supposed to test the solution it gives you. Yes that makes it not useful for some things. But still immensely useful for other applications and a lot of times it gives you a really great jumping off point to solving whatever your problem is.
