  • Top Extensions to Make YouTube Bearable
  • For older/lower end computers, enhanced-h264ify is a godsend. It blocks youtube from playing VP9 codec which can cause heavy cpu usage on older hardware. It can also block 60fps video as well.

  • [Discussion] What are your definitive (or alternative) accessories, controllers, etc for the Steam Deck?

  • AV1 on roku
  • I think there's an option in the roku Jellyfin app to enable AV1 playback. I haven't tried it myself, but I have seen it messing around with a few settings.

  • KDE connect on xfce?
  • I use it for seeing/replying to texts on my desktop. It works great for that with xfce.

  • I don't have any experience with it, but there is a project called mopidy that I believe can play from many different services, including local music and spotify.

  • Best services to self host with a Raspberry Pi 4? (4GB RAM)
  • Jellyfin, I've run mine for a couple years now(ever since the pi4 came out) and it's been great. The only thing to consider is turning off video transcoding, its not able to to transcode anything HD or over. Other than that, its great. I use it for videos and music.

  • Thank you Freddy for the uplifting words

  • Anyone else frustrated by cross contamination from Youtube, Youtube Music and Youtube shorts?
  • My main gripe is with movies. After a while, the simlar video recomentaions are filled with "Free with Ads" movies. I don't even watch movies on Youtube. Its annoying.

    I usually have to clear cookies to get rid of them.
