Hmm. I guess it depends on your Blocklist and the TV type. For my Samsung, it worked perfectly.

This is literally the reason I set up a PiHole.

Do you pirate? And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Skotimusj@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Every company that owns media or copy protected information has one goal. To bleed consumers dry of as much money as possible. They lobby governments against our interests, track our data, and destroy the integrity of the product that they are selling to accomplish this.

For everything that I am interested in, I seek the best experience. I want the media I consume to be available, convenient, and unaltered. If I can pay a reasonable fee for that then I will. If not then I will seek other means. I am tired of corporations fighting to change culture and expectations to be "more profitable" rather than delivering a product that consumers actually want. I will continue to vote with my dollars (or lack there of) until this practice changes (which will likely be never).

Thanks for the suggestion! I don't quite understand what prowlearr adds over just adding multiple indexers to Sonarr/radar?

Thanks for the suggestions. I am looking into it currently!

Media server (lemmy.ml)
 

Relatively new to this but, I finally got my media server up and working! I want to improve the success of the search function though. Is there a way to know if content is on usenet but my indexer is not good enough? I would rather steer clear of torrenting for now. How do I go about finding good indexer?

Any sci-fi with aliens where humans are not the less advanced race? in c/books@lemmy.ml

I am glad I don't know about any of the authors politics. Now I will actively avoid information about him so as not to tarnish a good memory.

One of my favorite Sci-fi series books is the Ender's game saga. I think this might meet your specifications. Don't watch the movie! The book, as is often the case, is way better.

Intel graphics driver? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

No. I didn't see this. I'll take a look.

Intel graphics driver? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Skotimusj@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I didn't install right away. Actually, my fist attempt to install Ubuntu failed because of the same issue. I had to retry with the graphics safe install and then it worked. When rebooting, I got to the prompt that said , "remove installation hardware and press enter to continue" I did this and the screen went blank.

I restarted with the "nomodeset" edit to the boot script and set up ssh access. That's when I tried to update the drivers. After the update there was still no video output. I suspect it's not a driver issue but I am new to Linux and do not know how to proceed with troubleshooting.

Intel graphics driver? (lemmy.ml)
 

I am new to Linux. I just got my hands on an old server machine with Internet to set up a media server and installed a fresh version of Ubuntu. Ultimately, I hope to use it as a headless unit but as I am a newbie, I put the GUI version on. I am having an issue getting it to display at all.

On boot, the output just stops. I can fix it by adding nomodeset to the boot script. I updated the Intel graphics driver's per the instructions on Intel's site. I am not sure where to go next. Any advice for troubleshooting? The onboard graphics is intel corporation hd graphics 530 rev 06.

Media server (lemmy.ml)
 

I just recently started my journey setting up Plex with *Arr and have had a blast. I have the setup running on a raspberry Pi. Before I start buying a bunch of external hard drives, I went searching for some dedicated server hardware to comparison shop. Am I crazy to consider buying an old tower server for this, or will a raspberry Pi work just fine for this purpose? I don't have that much experience but I do enjoy a good challenge.

About a week ago I setup Ubuntu as my primary OS on an old machine. It is my first time trying a unix based OS (previously windows). It has been ok, but it seems like every time I try to install something I run into problems. The app has the wrong permissions or I don't have the right packages or I need to change port settings ect... I was expecting a learning curve but I wanted to know if this is something I should expect to be a long term issue or if I will aquire the skills to side step stuff like this over time?

Update* I got it working. Last night I reinstalled it and figured it out. Two issues. On initial install I failed to update one of the packages needed. I also assigned the service to a group without the required permissions. On reinstall I rectified both of these issues and it works flawlessly. Thanks all for your help and input (and ignoring typos in the title)!
