Sub 5" screen, 3.5mm jack, removable battery, 2-stage camera shutter button.

My old Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact had all of those, except for the removable battery.

What's next? Are they going to try to remove The Last of Us ? :/

What is the recommended way to watch the Star Wars series? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] root@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

Another vote for Machete order. Simply put, it is a good way to watch the original trilogy, experience the story plot in episode 5 and get the back story in the subsequent trilogy.

Watching it in episode order for new viewers will mean they will experience episode 5 very differently.

If only my phone battery lasts that long. LOL

I download and read pirated books because I am in the process of writing a new and transformative novel.

Add to that a monthly subscription just to play online. Even crazier.

I just want Sony to re-release the Xperia XZ1 Compact with updated internals.

I remember using the pencil trick on my old AMD Duron processor to unlock it. 🤣

I don't like horror games but Viscera Cleanup Detail I can accapt.

The only horror elements are the aftermath of a big and bloody gun fight and you're tasked to clean up the mess. ;p

Using curlftpfs with jellyfin to access media stored on old NAS? (aussie.zone)
 

Hi all. Very new potential jellyfin user trying to set things up.

I have one of those mini fanless mini PC boxes with Proxmox and pfsense installed. Jellyfin has been installed as a lxc via one of the helper scripts. Set it up and it works fine.

I'm now trying to set it up to access an old Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ that I have lying around. It's been setup with SMB/CIFS as well as FTP access. I'm considering disabling SMB/CIFS access since I think I don't need that anymore. I think the NAS only supports TLS 1.2 protocol and it's probably safer to disable it security wise. After searching around, I've come across curlftpfs which seems to be able to mount a ftp server as a local directly which i can then use as a library for jellyfin.

Is this the best way or is there a better alternative I can consider?

Thanks.

Noticed a strange occurrence where my monitor buttons will not react to presses when certain conditions are met (aussie.zone)
 

I have an Acer XV340CKP monitor connected via Display Port to my GPU. I also have a old LG W2253TQ that I use as a secondary display. It only has a DVI and VGA port. I have a DVI-DVI cable together with a DVI-Display Port converter to connect to my GPU, which is an Asus RX6900XT. I am running Nobara 38.

I have observed that if I were to have my Acer monitor powered when I switch on my desktop, all the monitor buttons do not respond. None of the menu buttons, not even the power button responds. When I switch off the desktop, the monitor stays on. The only way to power it down is to unplug the power cable.

However, if I were to only have the LG monitor powered when I switch on my desktop, all the buttons on the Acer monitor works.

I believe everything was working previously in Nobara 37. I think this issue probably started happening in the recent month or two.

Is this even possible, where the graphics card sends a malformed signal to the monitor and prevents the buttons from working?
