Some people just don’t want to store anything on their devices for whatever reason.

Odin doesn’t play local content, instead it gets the streamable media directly from a debrid service like RealDebrid

RealDebrid and AllDebrid

It doesn’t. It’s nothing like any of these two. They provide local media content, Odin on the other hand streams media directly provided by the debrid service.

So, no downloading and hoarding involved.

Sure, there is that risk as well…but since it runs in a docker container, it’s easier to pipe all these requests through a VPN tunnel. And yes, one could pipe all their network devices (or just the android box) through VPN.

But then again, the installed app, might also collect data from within the network, etc.

no local media collection.

Exactly. It gets the streaming links instantly from the debrid service.

It doesn’t download anything and also does not fetch any local media. It uses jackett to scrape sites like 1337x.to for magnets, sends these magnets to realdebrid/alldebrid and gets a streamable link back which you can watch instantly.

By arr-suite… I meant the automated setups that people do, to get stuff downloaded directly into the movies/shows folders, hoarding huge MKV files, etc… Sorry for the confusing wording.

I don’t use the arr-suite myself, but I think you’re on point. Since It doesn’t download anything, and gets the streams directly from RD or AD, there’s no need for overseer.

You .ight be careful though, because RD doesn’t allow using their service from multiple locations at the same time (whatever thsat means)

Yeah… I mean, my stuff doesn’t do anything illegal, at least I hope so.

Ther was some drama indeed, but nothing to worry about, especially if you use a VPN, throw-away emails and bitcoins.

in a nutshell, the French government wasn’t happy about them providing instant links to video files. they then removed a feature from their api, and all seems good again.

Jellyfin uses the *arr suite, but Odin relies on a debrid service. The benefit is that nothing is hoarded on the device itself.

For USB sure… it’s kinda “newish”. But, I mean, they could’ve intervened much sooner, when glue became the standard for assembling phones.

Waterproof

Strongly agree!

Looking back, I suspect this was only an argument to make them hard to repair, as always, just worded in a sense like it’d benefit the customer.

FFS, just add some rubber… We’ve used rubber in condoms for centuries (kinda) succesfully, what made them think glue’d be better… I ain’t gonna put glue on my ding-dong, if that’s what they’re after all these years.

while 2027 is better than nothing, I still wonder why it took them so long. Glue in smartphones has been around for probably a decade now.

Also, I think, anything that has a battery, should be user replacable… even teeny-tiny earbuds.

Can we bring back the charging as well, and not just the USB cable… Oh, and while you’re at it, screws instead of glue, to replace batteries would be awesome.

Thx!

Exactly. For now, it’s main focus is to only move configs to the dotsdir (since stow throws a conflict when there’s already something in place), let stow create the symlink and push it to git.

on a remote mashine, however, you still need to handle conflicts yourself. but it’s also mostly intended for fresh installations, or where you don’t mind just rm -rf the existing config

Oh right… thx for the hint. It’s indeed German, and I usually write it as machine or mashine, when writing in English. This time I was just unfocused 😅

Exactly… but it still adds some overhead, which I’m honestly not a huge fan of.

At the end of the day, I want a single directory, where I can symlink the files and folders into their appropriate places, and share them across multiple machines, all that, without digging too deep into the tool, especially when I frequently update things, like a neovim config, etc…

And stow, paired with git, does exactly what I need. I only made some “aliases” to simplify the workflow.

I tried chezmoi, and wanted to love it… but I just can’t. IMHO, it’s complicated, which is why I built this one.
