  • It’s interesting but I’ve not had any performance issues running Kodi on anything from a fire tv to a Chromecast to windows to Linux (Ubuntu). I don’t run a ton of plugins but the ones I do work almost flawlessly most of the time.

    I will say that a couple of years ago I moved to using the jf server connected to Kodi and that seems to be the best of every world. I get the Kodi interface (jf didn’t have themes and it is still really unintuitive to me) and I get a single repository for my multiple clients.

    All of this is to say that perhaps Kodi isn’t as bad as you think it is just because you had some issues with your install.








  • The way the author just degrades using email at all isn’t doing him any favours imo. Sometimes there are restrictions and certain technologies need to be used. Let’s say that I need to use email but need someone to verify that it’s me sending the email. PGP is an easy-ish way of doing that. It’s trivial to make an SMTP server to send an email as anyone you want and have that email go through down filters. If it isn’t signed though, which is much harder to forge, the other user knows I didn’t send the email.

    Just to be clear, I’m not advocating for PGP, I don’t use PGP, I could care less if email disappears. I just think the bias is detrimental to the article
