  • I use newpipe to not have to struggle with all the ads.

    My goto channels that id always recommend and support via patreon/ donations:

    I absolutely hate all the screaming that some youtubers think they have to do…

    If anyone has any great (calm) youtubers, especially something strategy gaming related, please drop them!!


  • You can edit the hosts file on your local device, but I would recommend you take a look at using the rpi for a pihole/ DNS server. Then you can edit the hosts file on the PI to make it so that any device on your network redirects with the custom name.

    Hell if you want to have fun install nginx proxy manager then you can set up routing so that anything is easily accessible from inside you net ie: rpi/jellyfin or rpi/soju.

    If youre interested in doing anything like that and youre stuck ill help with any questions. I setup docker containers with proxies all the time







  • I wanted to say exactly this.

    I started out on Ubuntu and it was this scary thing that just worked. If something broke id run to google and see what I did wrong and blindly follow answers that added a lot of crap to my system. I was so afraid of poking anything that lay outside my /home.

    Eventually I hopped around a bit and landed on Arch after a few other systems that never really seemed right.

    3 years later If I break something I can actually understand why most of the time and if I cant, the Arch forums explain what I need.

    Using arch made me slow down trying to fix stuff because there was less to break. And if something broke, it was something that I installed myself and thus knew about. (Apart from some really horrible python and js that refused to be purged back to the fires of hell)

    All in all Id never go back to a hand- holdy system, Its my system, yes its wonky as hell sometimes, but I know whats going on there and on tge off chance something vreaks on a deadline, ive got an arch stick with all my important scripts to reinstall my system if needs be.
