DIE GARGOYLES - dööm döm döm döm döm döööm dödödööm

You should watch less movies

Yep.

All hail the holy otter!

What am I looking at

git config --global init.defaultBranch main

It is the best alternative, no doubt.

Keine Ahnung, als Westfale fallen mit 1000 bessere Dinge ein als auf das Oktoberfest zu fahren… Aber ich denke schon, dass die da zapfen können und eine Stange Helles geht auch immer gut rein. Ich denke der gemeine Amateurbiertrinker wird aber wohl viel schales Bier trinken beim Kampf gegen ein 1L Maß

Actually eBay is quiet shitty as auction house nowadays. It is a lot if effort setting all the filters and they reset every time you do a new search. Fixed price and global shipment is standard, you really need to watch closely to not buy a product from China. I find eBay very inconvenient for what I used it in 2010 for.

It’s not that I don’t want to buy a mini PC. But for this little project I might abandon like my many programming projects a massive investment is just not worth it. I payed 300€ on a TV some years ago, I just cannot pay the double amount for a device I use for streaming. I might upgrade if Jellyfin turns out to be my companion, but then everything needs to work, remote streaming from outside my network included.

Thanks for your advice though. I will look into a used fire stick, but if I understand correctly, this would act as a jellyfin client for watching on my TV.

Nah, it’s a cheap Chinese TV with a random OS, so I guess I need to find a workaround. I don’t buy at amazon so I thought of another Pi.

Noted, RAM is important.

Okay, so without the need of transcoding I gather a Pi 4 or 5 may actually be fine? What about the rare case I get hands on a Blu-Ray, H.264 would not work?

Noted, remote streaming will be an extra step I can tackle after I created my setup, it may easily work or may not.

How do I find out what codec a file has? I guess there is a ffmpeg command to check and also to convert?

Does that mean I can rip all my DVDs to the H.264 format to be sure all devices can play the file? Is there a disadvantage using H.264?

With remote streaming I mean of course streaming outside of my network.

MediaMarkt is ripoff. So yep, eBay. Bought several SD cards and cables there this year. I can really recommend taking a look. It’s a bit of extra effort and sometimes maybe a couple of bucks more, but that’s a price I am willing to pay for ditching amazon.

As an example, the last time I bought an SD card it was 6,95€ for a San disk 32 Gb ultra

So first of all - I am in the EU and I live in a big city.

The most important step is to question your own consume. Often I don’t need a specific thing, or I do not need it within 3 days. But let’s assume I really want that thing.

It is hard to tell what I use instead, because there is no direct replacement for Amazon, but many smaller vendors instead, like how a market is supposed to work, if not controlled by US megacorps.

In general, for all the small tech stuff, in 95% of the cases the vendor on Amazon is also on eBay. Sometimes it costs some bucks more, but I am willing to pay that because subsidies due to people pissing in bottles needs to be compensated.

For computer stuff there is always some shop, I just use geizhals to find the cheapest option (which often is not Amazon). Mind factory comes to my mind.

For clothes I go to town, or order them in their online shops if I know exactly what size I need.

Books, I order them online in my local book store, and then I get get them the next day there.

Let me know what product interests you and I try to answer… But in general I am trying to limit my consumption and ask myself 3 times if I really need something.

that made him so furious that he recorded a TikTok video insulting us for two minutes straight – calling us criminals, vermin, Jews

That is not only a problem with pharmacies but a problem of the whole society. If we let Nazis conquer the public space, this is what happens.
