Tammy AI: Get video info faster & better

the color scheme i always went for was monokai molokai "same thing" idk it was simple with a little color.

The point of Solarized isn't contrast for contrast's sake, but a nice, constant medium between not so much contrast, to scorch your eyes, and the muted pairs (comments) still having enough contrast to be effortlessly readable. I understand that it isn't so nice for a rice, and one can argue about the hue choice, but it works like a charm for me. I use it to filter the screen glare for years to look at code and configurations for hours on end without my eyes tiring out. Ethan Schoonover got my respect because he pulled it off for both the light and dark variants, and both look nice to me, but I admit, I never use the light variant and never let me pick colors 😛

@TheLinuxCast Matt, I just played around with folder permissions with Jellyfin. When Jellyfin is installed it creates a user in your /etc/passwd file. If you add your user to group jellyfin and vice versa then chown jellyfin:yourusername to jellyfin's media folders this should fix your problem. You will also need to chmod 770 to the same folders, recursive flag should not be necessary.

The thing with Gruvbox having neutral and warm colors is that they have less blue light in them shining through, and blue light is shown to be bad for you. So as far as having something that is objectively or scientifically better, Gruvbox(except for the hard mode with a more bluish background) is better than a lot of other themes with tons of blue in the background and text.

I'm modus operandi main

I'm just here for the controversy in the comments.

Gruvbox

The only failure is light themes being E tier. They should be F, just saying…

I used the Yaru theme switching from Ubuntu to Fedora. But not anymore.

Have custom dark and light theme in terminal but use catpuccin in neovim, used to use nightfox

the color preference is something so personal, it's no point to make tier list

Solarized is amazing for text editors, but I don't understand why anyone would want to use it as a GUI theme.

Catppuccin Macchiato alone is enough to make Catppuccin S+++ tier, and you can't change my mind

You should try kanagawa, I don't know if there is support outside neovim, but I really like it

You need to have the external USB mounted at startup with the correct permissions on /etc/fstab !

Let's say you have your media in the Public directory in myUSB001:

mkdir /home/username/mounts/myUSB001/Public

and in fstab:

//myUSB001/Public /home/username/mounts/myUSB001/Public cifs credentials=/home/username/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,noperm,_netdev 0 0

where .smbcredentials is a file you create with the format:

username=yourusername
password=yourpassword

noperm = no permission checks after login, so Plex or MiniDLNA or whatever can access drive; it lowers your security though
_netdev = network delay, makes sure your network is connected before attempting the mount and is needed if your USB drive is a network one, say if connected through the router's USB port

if you still cannot access drive as DLNA server, you may have an old one that needs the old samba version. Add vers=1.0 parameter after .smbcredentials

Here for the nuggies, hopefully next week there will be some software.

I think Catppucin is a cult of the Heaven's Gate variety masquerading as a color theme. I cannot be proven wrong on this.

Modus ftw

ain’t watched this yet but if they don’t agree with every single one of my opinions i’m rioting

Free me from Nordic schemes!
