I have the same issue did you find a solution?

It sucks 😞 I use the feature a lot. Luckily you can still use it for the foreseeable future in the web app... But I don't really use the watch together feature on the web app when I use it. They've sent an e-mail which is more confusing. They mentioned the watch together feature was quickly implemented on the current version. (Was it because of COVID? I don't remember) So it means the feature should be relatively straightforward to implement in the new version? Right? Especially since they mention they spent two years rewriting their apps "from the ground up" to enable them " to bring new features to you more efficiently, across more platforms, with much higher quality than ever before"

Also if they developed it from the ground up they could have taken into account the watch together feature to rewrite as well. They either did not want to implement it from the start. Or noticed it wasn't compatible with the new tech they wanted to use in the new versions.

The mail

It was the year 2020. Life had gotten very different, very fast. Then, at the request of a fan named Joe, Plex Labs quickly put in some long hours creating a way for the world to watch together when circumstances kept us apart. It wasn’t perfect, but this experimental feature created human connection in a time when we needed it most. Now, five years later, we are nearing the official release of our new Plex experience that will bring us closer together than ever before. We’ve spent two years rewriting our apps from the ground up to boost our development speed, which should enable us to bring new features to you more efficiently, across more platforms, with much higher quality than ever before. However, this release also means ending support for some features that we’ve grown to love, like Watch Together. Though support for Watch Together will not be available in the new Plex experience for most devices, you can still continue to use the feature in our web app for the foreseeable future. And because we’ve seen your love and tremendous response to this feature, we don’t preclude the possibility of offering similar functionality again in the future, using new tooling. We know that this decision will impact many of you, and we appreciate your support and understanding. Sincerely, Your Friends at Plex

I have repaired a lot of laptops in the past. The repairability depends on the price and the brand. But most of them are repairable. The issue is often first finding the part number and the correct part on the right website. With some luck the manufacturer has a manual available for finding part numbers and repair steps. But most of the time YouTube is where you end up. What I mean is, with other laptops the repair success depends on more variables. The framework laptops stand out because of the ease of the repair process and the success rate of the repairs. Finding the right part number and part online and the guide to actually repair the laptop and the actual replacing is also easy the parts are designed to be easily replaced. It is also possible to send them the broken part back for recycling, how they to that I haven't looked into yet. The i/o is nice the fact that you can change and decide later to add more ports For the average user this is not the big sell feature. It's the fact that you can save money and still have your device, have minimal downtime. I compared laptops of the same specs or very close to. The added price is between 100 and 200 euros. You'll be happy you spent that extra when your laptop eventually had a hardware malfunction. Or can use an upgrade.

I played it when the game released or shortly after; I personally liked it. Visually its stunning, beautiful neon signs and full detailed environments. The story is not bad its a very simple story of working your way up (literally) The gameplay was simple and enjoying imo, others found it repetitive, what can I say I look beautifull shooter games and the leveling was satisfying. The interface especially trying to get to places was confusing sometimes, some backtracking. I played it with 3 other friends after completin the game and then the performance was very bad and the game crashed often. This might be fixed now

 

Honestly all new lenovos have been giving me issues, webcams break, stop charging, except for those black thinkpads.. This one suddenly decided to go display Chinese text and display goes black randomly

I’ve never heard of The Mole, probably need to find it.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13243898/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

Also, Is Law Man Bass Reeves part of the Yellowstone series? I dare not to touch that Taylor Sheridan-verse, too many spinoffs, not sure if it’s worth the time investment.

I dont know if it is part of the yellowstone series. According to this website it is not, https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a45805998/lawmen-bass-reeves-yellowstone-1883/

Movies this week and a bit.

  • The Holdovers, beautiful Christmas movie with just the right amount of Christmas theme. Not too much.

  • The Mole, from Mats Brügger. Impressive real life undercover story to uncover the criminal deals of the north Korean regime.

  • Dumb money, absurd to see the story in a movie. I remember the events while it happens the gme 💎 ✋ craze. Nonetheless fun movie.

Tv:

  • I finally started watching peaky blinders.

  • Law man bass reeves. They spend a good amount on this show it's looks nice. The acting of the main char is good. Sometimes others miss the beat. Unnecessary soundtracks where silence would serve the scenes better.

  • Bookie, easy to watch, light, funny. good actors.

Thank you, this workaround seems to solve the issue.

Yes 95% of the time, original English audio track with subtitles and then local language. Except for the french versions, if I remember correctly those only had french dub as audiotrack. Could be wrong though we never bought/had those. When my parents were still in charge of tv time they put on the original version even if the original audio was something other than English and turned on local language subtitles. To practice other languages.

Very good app, I use it frequently to make routes for cycling tours and hiking. I like it because I can use it offline and save battery. Remove poi's on the map I don't want and set up restrictions like only use unpaved roads. It brought me to some pretty cool places Google maps would not even know existed. I even used it to track my running for a while. I never used it in a car though. Worth the 30 dollars in the first place.

First account on fediverse was here. Glad I did. I like that the admin had contributed to the fediverse. Perfect place for me I've been downloading since limewire, BitTorrent, rapidshare and megaupload. meganova was a cool tracker, ddlvalley, oneddl, corebay, funkysouls, piratebay of course. Piracy and sites other sites like this and communities like thls helped me develop skills, how to host your own services to break away from algorithms, how to set up things like websites, pi-hole, like docker, networking, VPNs, I learned how to take care of privacy online. And I am able to share that knowledge with friends and family. As long as this lemmy stays a place where knowledge and information can be shared to others this will be a nice harbor for this semi old pirate 🦜 Don't defederate too quickly from places that might have different opinions. Most of the users here are tech savvy enough to filter their own feeds. I don't want to end up in an echo chamber. That what's Instagram and Facebook etc. is for. Oh I have a question, where we get some stats? Like how many users or new posts? What is the size, in GB? Whats the traffic? How many images?

 

Hi, In short: will I run the risk of receiving an angry Hetzner e-mail telling me to stop downloading torrents when I configer my local deluge client to connect through a local gluetun VPN client to a selfhosted wireguard vpn on a hetzner server? I have limited knowledge of VPNs but as far as I understand it the connection provided through gluetun from client to server (vpn) is safe, encrypted, private (somewhat) But connections from the (vpn) server to the public tracker is not, right? Or does the vpn tunnel extend to the destination? Context: I am running a deluge torrent client to download and seed torrents coming from radarr and sonarr its all running containerized through docker on my local machine. The Deluge client is using a VPN connection (via Windscribe) through a gluetun vpn client. `https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun.
I am not very happy with the speeds of Windscribe and I have small Hetzner server running with a wireguard vpn container I got working, that I hope should provide a faster download/upload speed.

Hetzner is pretty strict when it comes to downloading torrents from public trackers. A couple of years ago I basically had my plex server and a deluge client running on one of their servers. At first I used only private trackers but some content was not available so I added some torrents from public trackers. A couple of days after I got an angry e-mail from viacom through hetzner telling to quit it.

Does anyone self host their VPN and on what? And do you use it for downloading?
