I haven't heard that before, so I had to search a bit. This poster says Stremio uploads, but theres no docs. https://www.reddit.com/r/Stremio/comments/182cb7f/does_stremio_upload/

A few ideas/hints: If you are up for some upgrading/restructuring of storage, you could consider a distributed filesystem: https://wikiless.org/wiki/Comparison_of_distributed_file_systems?lang=en.
Also check fuse filesystems for weird solutions: https://wikiless.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace?lang=en
Alternatively perhaps share usb drives from 'desktop' over ip (https://www.linux.org/threads/usb-over-ip-on-linux-setup-installation-and-usage.47701/), and then use bcachefs with local disk as cache and usb-over-ip as source. https://bcachefs.org/
If you decide to expose your 'desktop', then you could also log in remote and just work with the files directly on 'desktop'. This oc depends on usage pattern of the files.
Cheapest upgrade? Cram an old Android mobile in the USB port, and run a few services on that via Termux..
Image recognition, speech2txt, txt2speech, classification and such smaller models. They are fast but have no memory worth mentioning and are heavily dependent on data access speed. Afaik, transformer based models are hugely memory bound and may not be a good match if run on these externally via Usb3.
Oh, my.. I followed a few subs on reddit. On lemmy I've only found https://lemmy.ml/c/degoogle but that's also the biggest de-x movement afaik.
I believe https://www.pantherx.org/ is both Guix based and, I think, more relaxed on the non-guix issue. Don't know much else tbh, but peeps interested can check it out.
Creative! Maybe an idea for a foss python library/app ? It would be lovely to have a library/app that looks at a crowdsourced list of scum corps and what counter measures exists to migrate from them to any number of free non-capitalist services !
Atmo, we have de-google, de-m$, de-crapple and so on, but it's a huge work to de-capitalize your life. We need to make that process simpler by automating it.
Ensh*ttification = Capitalism. Every point, every annoyance, every spy attack, all lock-ins, and so on, is a result of that archaic sponsored belief system..
It's better propaganda if it's China, Russia, Iran, etc. And tbh, those nations are in an information war against the western propaganda machine. As long as we have an aggressive Capitalist west, I think a firewall is necessary for a proper information defense in any country. It's hard to defend against propaganda without some control, and it's rather naive to think that any nation won't/shouldn't defend itself from western information attacks. I haven't read the article as I assume it's pure anti-west made up propaganda as usual.
Always sad when Capitalism/monetization creeps in and cripples/pollutes open and free movements/projects :-( There are many many examples of projects dying off, converting to proprietary, etc. Luckily people are forking and creating new FOSS software all the time. I'm going more and more full FOSS, de-google/meta/m$ and so on. I'm tired always spending time changing software/workflow because of monetization creep, I'm tired of closed drivers, telemetry/spying, bitcoin scams and all the other utter garbage the Capitalist religion brings in to my life.
I have chosen Guix as my new home partly for this reason. Here, the default is that if I doesn't compromise, I know that I won't suddenly see these yucky things creeping into my system. That gives me a safe space where I can plan/build long term without wasting my time fighting Capitalism and all the shit that automatically follows..
I hope the Nix community finds a solution.
I'm not a Gnome expert and are using the 'dash2dock' extension, but if I right click on rightmost 'show apps' icon, and select 'dash2dock settings, I can change opacity, bg color and such.
Not sure where else to change those settings, so apol's if this is not applicable in your case.
