Gnome Slander

The older games still hold up at least. I’ve been playing through Emerald again and it’s been a lot of fun.

There’s also quite a few good ROM hacks out there too.

I hadn’t heard of Moonfin before, it looks promising as an Apple TV client. Any pitfalls with it?

I’ve got an X220 as my secondary laptop, currently running Debian. It’s had several mods/upgrades and it’s still a very useful machine.

Containers as a private browsing replacement?

Maybe you could improve this by using two separate Firefox profiles? One for the normal tabs you keep open all the time, and another for the temporary ones which you can apply much stricter data retention settings to?

Stepping Away from Streaming with the Innioasis Y1 Digital Audio Player

1mon 14d ago in technology from gardinerbryant.com

Every smartphone platform has media player apps available that can play locally stored media files. Seems a better idea to me to use the device already there just in a different way.

There’s also plenty of great media player hardware on the used market if people really must have a dedicated device for this.

How is Jellyfin on Apple TV 4K?

1mon 18d ago in selfhosted

I’m using Jellyfin with 2 Apple TV 4Ks, one newer and one older. As other commenters have said there is no complete official Jellyfin app for Apple TV.

Swiftfin is the in development new app for Apple platforms, but it still very incomplete. Basic video playback works, but there are a lot of missing features like music and live tv support. The interface is functional but still fairly crude, and in the current version there’s a lot of ugly overflow issues in the UI. Video playback has always been reliable for me though. It will improve as development progresses but for now it’s very much a work in progress.

The other option is Infuse, which has a much nicer and mature UI, but also isn’t fully feature complete for Jellyfin. It also a proprietary app with a subscription to unlock all features. I’ve tried the free version and it seems to work well enough, video playback was smooth.

I think there are few other small apps but I haven’t tried them.

I wish there were better options for clients as the Apple TV is the best streaming box I’ve found but the Jellyfin support could be better.

Apple Has Given Up on the Vision Pro After M5 Refresh Flop

I was at an expo once and a marketing guy I was with said similar as we passed a VR booth. He said that VR users looked like people flailing their arms around with buckets in their heads, and that it would be very hard to sell the experience to outsiders who hadn’t already tried it.

Unfortunately it also seems the use cases are still fairly limited even when people do try it.

I just hope the shockwave doesn’t knock down the rest of the economy with it.

Networking changes coming in macOS 27

AFP has been long overdue for retirement. I do wish Apple would improve their SMB implementation though, it’s had performance issues and weird bugs for ages.
