Do you have any other hardware between computer & monitor? (Ie a KVM Switch?)
The other post about display ID jogged my memory that KVMs (etc) don’t pass through the data (sometimes?), so just wondering whether there’s another factor here…
Not sure how it would only trigger this on updates, but just building a complete picture of the issue.
If you do find their site works on a other browser (and I mean, the browser, not due to an addon, etc.) then complain to the company / bank / etc.
If they take your complaint seriously then I’d persevere with them… if they don’t then they’re not customer focused and your business (money) goes elsewhere.
It’s not just browsing discussed there. Re-read that again with cybersecurity in mind… online banking shouldn’t be done whilst you’re sharing a browser with tiktok (as an example)
Yep, there’s private / incognito modes, but they just drop all the local session data, they’re not any more secure.
:) you don’t have to use containers, but they do simplify the install.
I don’t use containers.
There’s also no Setup.exe to download run where you just Next, Next, Finish.
So, instead, I have to install separate packages, configure them, deal with conflicting requirements, etc…
Did I have to learn Docker? No. Did I have to learn something else? Yes.
As someone else mentioned, spending some time learning what / how / why you’re doing will help massively later on. Probably why you’re getting Docker answers, they’re auto-suggesting it to start you off with something simpler…
Yeah, good summary - I’m not using the latest version, but LiveTV channel changing still takes a second (on a dual tuner machine), but, like you said, we rarely watch LiveTV now and if we do, we’re not really channel hopping either.
How well doea the NUC perform as a Frontend? I have a small TV in a spare room which could benefit from a separate Frontend…
Glad we helped you :)
I think Myth can record from the homerun boxes?
I’m lucky the OTA scheduling works well enough for me - only issue is that I can only see a few days ahead.
Ah, ok, you’re a bit of a contributor… I helped with a couple of patches and loads of wiki edits (that needed much love a few years ago)
TVDb is still hit & miss, but much better than it used to be.
And yeah, Myth’s not ideal for external streaming…
Yeah, I was kinda thinking about a combined Myth Backend / *arr box and then see whether Myth Frontend or Jellyfin worked “better” (for my use case)… just need a spare weekend to try it all out.
That’s me… Jedi Advert Avoider
Yep, still alive 🙂
Not heard of Tablo… I’ll take a look
Yeah, now it’s charity shops… walk in, pay almost nothing for some DVDs, rip the disk, return them to another charity shop…
Better business model than Blockbuster 😉
Yeah, Myth’s built-in internet browser is pretty dire - I have a 2nd virtual desktop to open a browser if I want to watch something via the internet, but I don’t bother with Netflix, etc…
No. Maybe it is where you’re located, but for me it’s fine.
Movies come from the high seas, so I’m not too worried about them, but there’s some good stuff on terestrial TV definitely
Yep, completely agree. We only (really) learn when we make mistakes.
I usually aim to do my “first” (of whatever) as best I can, but totally prepared to wipe & restart…
Well… of course only time will tell, but the fact that we’ve been doing that for sooo long… (me for ~20 years?) would imply that it might just be around for longer than snap/flatpak/etc
Of course, sometimes it’s disguised as yay -S…
That’s comforting to know.
I have kinda the opppsite: a machine that isn’t changing it’s hardware, but it hasn’t had updates in ~2 years (due to some issues with an AUR package back then…)
I wonder if it’ll upgrade…?
I’ve kept arch-keyring updating now & again… so it should work, but I know packages change dependencies so, it’ll be an interesting one (ie full backup first)
