Don’t lay all your eggs in one basket!

by plugging in a HDD I can only record a channel if I’m watching it and not record one channel while watching another

That actually makes sense if we’re talking DVB-[C, S or T] channels received through an internal hardware tuner. A tuner can only tune in on one frequency at once. To record one channel while watching another, it would need to have two internal tuners, which isn’t very common and, I’d say, not something to expect unless specifically advertised.

Also it has developed a fault where it basically shits its self every couple of weeks and the picture pixelates. It needs to be unplugged for a week and plugged back in.

Warranty?

It seems it has a single widget, “status widget”.

I’m not sure how to read the Plexus entries, and they don’t seem to be clickable. Would you mind explaining how to use the site in a meaningful way?

Thanks for your response. Much appreciated. Do I understand it correctly that I’ll be able to add more drives later in JBOD mode, but I’ll simply have to power it off before adding or swapping drives?

I’m in the same situation as you, more or less… I have three new 22TB drives that need an enclosure, preferably for JBOD (no hardware RAID needed) but I can’t figure out which ones are actually good products… I don’t mind using a random-brand product if it’s actually solid.

I find it very difficult to figure out which ones will support my 22TB drives. And for some of them, it seems, it’s impossible to add new drives to empty slots later (because of hardware RAID, I guess?), which has made me hesitant in buying one with more slots than I have drives, in case they can’t be utilized later on anyway…

I was looking at the QNAP TR-004 which was mentioned by someone else somewhere on Lemmy some months ago, but IIRC it would be impossible to use the fourth slot later if the drive isn’t included in the hardware RAID configuration…

EDIT: I have also been looking into so-called “backplanes” as an alternative, since they seem to do the job and are cheaper, but I’m unsure if I’ll need a PC chassis/case/tower for that to actually work?

If you find something good (products or relevant info), feel free to share it with me.

I’m not the person you’re asking, but I have some evidence to support the case that making it work without proprietary code is a problem. GrapheneOS, a privacy-oriented Android-based smartphone OS, write in their usage guide:

By default, GrapheneOS has always shipped with baseline support for eSIM, where users can use any eSIMs installed previously on the device. However, in order to manage and add eSIMs, proprietary Google functionality is needed. This is fully disabled by default.

eSIM support on GrapheneOS doesn’t require any dependency on Google Play, and never shares data to Google Play even when installed.

Edit: The fact that they haven’t implemented eSIM functionality without using the proprietary Google stuff, indicates to me that it’s either impossible/blocked or simply too hard with practically nothing in return to have been prioritised (yet?)

Why not? Ideogram is brilliant at it!

If you connect to Jellyfin through Kodi with the JellyCon add-on, you can sync audio, subtitles etc. when it’s playing.

While it’s possible to navigate through your Jellyfin libraries from within the Jellycon add-on in Kodi, I usually find it quicker to just use the Jellyfin app or webapp on phone/pc to find the desired media, then “cast” it to the active Kodi client. The Kodi client will then play it directly from the server, no video data is going through the casting device.

But basic internet permission is given to all apps without asking.

But it really shouldn’t be! And GrapheneOS, at least, always asks the user when installing apps that want network permission. If the user doesn’t plan on using any network-based features of the app, they can simply decline.

CalcYou seems great, and it’s on F-Droid.

Any recommendable and trustworthy sources for modded APKs? Installing modded apps from unknown sources always feels a bit sketchy…

AnLinux (Run Linux On Android Without Root Access) https://f-droid.org/packages/exa.lnx.a/

This application will allow you to run Linux on Android, by using https://f-droid.org/packages/com.termux and PRoot technology, you can even run SSH and Xfce4 Desktop Environment!!!

• Xfce4, Mate, LXQt, LXDE Desktop Environment Supported
• Install multiple distros without conflict
• Provide uninstallation script to fully uninstall distro

Kodi/LibreELEC + JellyCon add-on works great!

Since your app is open source, I think it would make great sense to either submit it to the F-Droid repo, create your own repo that people can add to their F-Droid client, or host the project in one of the places that are already supported as a source in the Obtainium app.

What does that mean? A beautiful shell with nothing valuable inside it?

Something like this, but for weed?

I’ve heard it mentioned as a “fly swatter” in my mother’s tongue.

Millennium Editions ruin everything!! 🤬
