  • The main alternatives to Kodi are Jellyfin and Plex but I suspect those will have the same problem if your library isn’t organized. How well are NOVA and Infuse handling your library? Like are they able to tell queue up the next episode of a TV show? Because Kodi is basically trying to be more like a local Netflix than “just a video player”.

    Jellyfin and Plex are web-based so you’ll get a a far more consistent experience across devices than Kodi. But they’ll generally expect Movies to be in one folder, TV shows in another, and will have some expectations of the file name. They won’t open the file to figure out what movie it is.







  • For some reason you’re trying to install it as a system service so I suspect you need to start it with sudo and probably do the daemon reload with sudo. Not entirely sure its in the right folder but it might be fine.
    You can also try systemctl list-unit as a way to debug if its getting found by systemd.

    Fwiw I have spotifyd installed as a user service in ~/.config/systemd/user that way I can start and stop it with systemctl --user instead of sudo systemctl. This is important because spotifyd will disconnect and need to be restarted after inactivity.




  • I like #Nix, I do not like what has happened to it.

    With no explanation of what happened, the conclusion is almost certainly Internal politics.

    It seems like forgejo split from gitea because it looked like gitea was going the route of gitlab. Idk if NixOS is going to commercialize though. Based on recent gossip it sounds like they’re overly adverse to commercialization. IE banning people for having DoD connections. Aux’s talk about special interest groups makes it sound like they’re going embrace that like redhat.






  • Popular alternatives really are that bad. If you just walk into a phone store and get an android its going to be loaded with far more bloatware from google, the manufacturer, and the telecom. It’s just a visibly worse product. You can always research, buy direct, or flash your own android and get a better experience. Or you can just buy the apple product which - for the average user - is not crap, it just works. Same with buying a laptop from Best Buy or a prebuilt desktop. Apple designs their products to be like an appliance, something that just works and you dont really care how.
