These are some great suggestions, I use several of these already but I hadn't heard of Coffee, Droid-ify or Geometric Weather and all three have been added to my phone. I really appreciate Coffee because I've been manually updating the screen timeout each time I cook and it's a pain to switch it each time, this quick toggle is a definite quality of life improvement. Droid-ify and Geometric weather are slick and I really like their look. Thanks!

A DDL (direct download) implies you are downloading it from a hosting site and storing it on your personal computer. A DMCA notice is sent when you are hosting the file and providing it to others.
Per https://www.legalzoom.com/articles/i-got-a-dmca-notice-now-what
"Copyright infringement has become so prevalent that sometimes you are not even aware that you are infringing on another person's rights. Most of the time, copyright infringement is an innocent mistake—such as reposting an image on Instagram that you like and want to share. Other times, the infringement is intentional. Either way, if you infringe on someone else's copyright, you will very likely receive a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notice."
Further down the site
"Your next steps
Once you receive a DMCA notice—either directly or through your ISP—review and confirm the alleged copyright infringement listed on the takedown notice. If you can confirm that there is a copyright infringement, you should proceed with taking down the identified material."
This is the same reason you aren't at risk to DMCA when using Usenet/IRC because other people are providing you the files or downloading (not uploading) from google drive shared files.
If you use torrenting (which implies you are seeding back to other people) or upload to google drive you can be at risk to receiving a DMCA takedown notice and then you'll have to decide whether to fight it or delete it.
So long! Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out!
I never used the command line with Kopia besides starting it up in server mode and used the web based GUI to configure, it was pretty simple to get everything setup that way. You may want to give it another try using Kopia in that mode.
Spot on, federation and decentralization is the right path forward. Users create the content and should own it, the output of our time and typing has value and shouldn't be siloed away in corporate money making machines run by sociopaths. It should belong to the people to help us connect to each other.
Home is where the heart is and for now, my heart is with lemmy! 🏴☠️
Kopia has been working great for me as well. It's simple, versatile and reliable. I previously used Duplicati but kept running into jobs failing for no reason, backup configurations missing randomly and simple restores taking hours. It was a hot mess and I'm happy I switched.
Same here, the engagement level is well worth the transition and I'm tired of corporate silos, federation FTW!
This channel has some great videos for beginners and although the text to video is pretty expensive for gen 2 and potato1 is way too limited for now, it's all pretty exciting.
I've been following this thread because I was having the same issue:
What works for me is doing a search, getting the no results found, then searching again immediately and it shows on the second attempt
I've used Plex for 10 years+ and Jellyfin for few months. Plex handles media recognition great and has an easy match function for the videos that aren't automatically recognized or need to be fixed. I have a few friends/family that I share my library with and it's easy for them to get connected remotely using their phones and roku/firestick without any issues using their plex accounts. I have the lifetime pass so my mobile devices connect for free but it there may be cost to install the mobile app.
Plex has expanded their free/ad-supported movies/tv shows but I have enough content I haven't explored it much. My server isn't very powerful so I can only have 2 streams going at once for my library which is mostly x265 content with a bunch of x264 content as well but that's enough for my needs.
I use a roku as my main client and besides some flakiness with the wifi from time to time it works fine, responsive and you can use the mobile app or http://remoku.tv/ as remote controls too in addition to the physical remote.
I use Aegis for important apps and store all non-critical ones in vaultwarden. It's a good trade-off in my opinion of having the convenience for less important things but still be secure and not having a single point of compromise for my critical, sensitive apps.
