I can’t stand beer - is there a rum & Coke license?

Ah, the ambiguity of words - the definition of “evil” lies in the eye of the beholder.

You’ve just described what is probably the most well-known xkcd comic in a somewhat long-winded fashion.

Your mom needs to be introduced to George Carlin, starting with his classic Class Clown album. The section leading up to and including the Seven Words You Can’t Say on TV (at the time it was recorded in the mid 1970s) particularly addresses how words themselves are just a collection of meaningless syllables without the intent ascribed to them.

I’ve tried watching it at least 3x now - it’s just such a slow build that by somewhere around ep 4-5 I stop watching & have to start over again when going back months later. It was interesting, but boring at the same time.

Players can be expensive, but the most significant reason is probably having to get up and switch discs to watch something else. The vast majority of consumers have no idea how to rip a disc, nor the know-how required to set up a media server.

I didn’t mean to imply you didn’t have priorities, just that a couple of them seemed to be conflicting. To me, what you described called more for reliability than cutting edge. I understand your concern with getting security updates expediently, but you can get those with less system stability risk using a more standard distro.

I haven’t used a SUSE in a very long time, but as I recall Tumbleweed is an official product of theirs. I’ve not heard of Rhino until now, which gives me pause in considering it - let alone the fact it’s not backed by a known significant team. There’s nothing wrong with that, but when setting up a server like you’re describing I’d rather it not require a significant amount of time at random once I’ve got it up and running, which is what can happen when relying upon less vetted software.

It’s your choice, obviously. Rhino looks like it might make a nice desktop to play with, but I personally would really be hesitant to use it for a server because I just don’t have the time to deal with problems at random - I’ve got enough of those already in my life. Your priorities are obviously different, and there’s no denying the fact that even things going awry on your server can be a plus from a learning perspective. I would really be concerned with the project being abandoned since it’s just a year old, tho.

Good luck whichever way you choose to go.

Which can happen to some anyway if they don’t have a powered door opener.

I’m confused. Your OP seems to describe wanting something stable and “fault-tolerant,” but then you go and ask about an unofficial rolling distro? I think you should figure out what your priorities are first.

Yeah, that’s actually a very good point. Guess I could probably adapt more easily than I was imagining.

It was either push or pull. I’ve seen both. Some had you push it in really far, but made that last bit that set it really difficult to push (to avoid doing it by accident, I guess), or more commonly you’d pull the button outwards to set it (the button was basically hollow at the end so your finger could go in to hold on and pull).

You don’t need a manual at all - you just push the buttons in farther than usual, or pull them out instead of in depending upon the model.

The problem with this layout is that the shit from the top handle will drop onto the lower one, thus contaminating it as well.

I think George Michael’s Freedom hit that mark like three decades ago. Became a huge hit (one of my all-time favorite songs). Still hasn’t changed a thing because the execs don’t care as long as it sells, and they get their money.

Ubuntu is debian-based, and their repositories are kept pretty up-to-date. They offer a server config.

Preface: Not the person you responded to.

I’ve never used Slackware myself, but it’s probably the oldest distribution out there. It’s supposed to be stable AF, doesn’t “fix” what ain’t broken, and is very old school in its efficiency mindset. This means it’s indeed not likely to hold your hand through things, but it’s also very thoroughly documented at this point, and any help you find online is much more likely to still (mostly) work regardless of it’s age - unlike most other more frequently updated distros. It’s meant to be reliable, not fancy.

There are a handful of other PeerTube-compatible apps on F-Droid already - just search for PeerTube.

There is a live-streaming unofficial app on F-Droid. A few other PeerTube apps exist, but the only other one that looks like it might support upload is this one. I don’t watch videos much, so I dunno.
