Self-hosted solution for FTA tv (lemdro.id)

I want to be able to access (watch and record) a couple of FTA tv channels on several devices on my LAN.

I already have a couple of USB tuners so I don't want to spend money on HDHomerun.

I did some research and most people recommended TVheadend.

I've also stumbled upon minisatip but there is almost no documentation for it.

Any recommendations?

Installed Debian on 2010 Mac Pro (lemdro.id)

I have an old Mac Pro that has been collecting dust for years. Today I bought an SSD and install Debian on the machine. It works flawlessly.

Further reading revealed that there is an active community around the classic mac pros and thanks to their modular nature they can be fully upgraded. People even upgrade the CPUs in this thing.

So if you like playing around with a PC like the old days, that is also Linux compatible, a Mac Pro 5,1 seems a good choice. AFAIK you can get it for cheap and a decent upgrade won't break the bank.

Problem with Chrome apps and task manager (lemdro.id)
submitted 4 months ago by mfat@lemdro.id to c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

Ever since upgrading to Plasma 6 (fedora 40) my chrome web apps have been misbehaving when I try pinning them to the icon-only task manager (is that still what it's called?)

1.They randomly disappear from taskbar although i have pinned them

2.Sometimes they are there but wont work (i get a weird "chdir: not found" error)

3.Pinned chrome apps work but wont survive reboots.

Have you experienced a similar problem? I've tried both stable and beta versions of Google Chrome.

It matters since a top 3 distro will identify with KDE Plasma desktop. This is not very common.

How to choose a computer/laptop/device that is better compatible with linux? Are there certain things to look out for when shopping? by mfat in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[-] mfat@lemdro.id 17 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

As a genera rule avoid Nvidia. Also google the fingerprint sensor and wifi model before buying. General advice like "Thinkpads are fully linux compatible" is rubbish. Take your time to Google all idiosyncrasies of your desired model.

Did we kill Linux's killer feature? by mfat in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[-] mfat@lemdro.id 14 points 1 year ago

If I use ubuntu I'm somehow forced to use them.

Even on Fedora the average user is presented with many flatpak results when they use the GUI software manager. Not everyone is technically adept enough to check the origin of the app. So it's kind of being forced on users.

All XFCE needs is better defaults in terms of aesthetics.
