  • This has really made me lose faith in a defederated system like this.

    @Anyone: please let me know if I’m wrong about these and if there’s a solution, but as far as I can see:

    • I can’t export my account (most importantly all the posts and comments I’ve saved).
    • It’s difficult to find where a server is based.
    • Some instances seem to be solo hobby projects. I don’t want to pick another instance that is at risk of being killed.

    That’s not the point they’re making at all.

    The point of that when a website password breeds needs to be changed, then it won’t conform to the system anymore. Now you need to make a new system, or remember this particular exception.

    I had a system with a number in it. Any time a password change was needed then I would add 1 to the number. I might have to try two or the times to get the password right if I’ve changed it for the third time.

    For anyone who might find this useful:

    Kodi is great for normalising volume and I try to use Kodi for Plex and YouTube on the TV:

    Try adjusting the Volume to about -20 dB and the Volume Amplification to +30 dB. The latter will compress the audio as it increases volume to avoid peaks, and will effectively “flatten” the volume contour a bit. Adjust the values to your taste.

    The other thing that has really helped is having a good Bluetooth speaker. If the kids are playing and being noisy in the room while I’m trying to watch TV, then sound is much clearer if the speaker is right next to me rather than trying to turn up the volume to drown out other noises.
