Which manufacturer, and how did you get it?

I use Jellyfin through the Jellycon add-on for Kodi, running LibreELEC on a RPi 3B+ to get the best of both worlds.

This makes the content available for direct playback since Kodi supports most formats and codecs, assuming your device is powerful enough. The RPi 3B+ I use is happy with H.264 but can’t handle H.265, VP9 and other more compressed video files, though various other SBCs or USFF PCs have the capabilities if you need them. Or, if your server is powerful enough, you could set it up to let Jellyfin transcode the video to a supported format on the fly as it’s streaming.

For a better UX, I recommend using a skin like Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded and taking some time to understand how to make relevant content available through custom widgets on the homescreen, such as New Episodes, Continue Watching, Next Up, etc. if you want a Jellyfin-like experience. I’ve done that, and it has been convenient at times to be able to use the TV remote through HDMI-CEC, though I must admit I mostly just initiate playback from the Jellyfin app on my phone by connecting it to the RPi, resulting in a more casting-like experience. However, I still use my TV remote for player control, but I can also use the Kore app for remote control of Kodi. I use that app for controlling the player of Kodi since it’s better at staying in sync with the Kodi playback status than the Jellyfin app, and because it can control the entirety of Kodi instead of just the current Jellyfin media playback.

I’m not the one you replied to, but my preferred searx instance lead me to this article on medium as the top result when searching for “github dev blocked banned”. It’s about a case from 2020. Could it be that one?

Once they figure that out, they’ll probably just make any encryption illegal…

Then we will probably just develop encryption algorithms that look like regular text messages, or hide the encrypted content inside some audio, image, video or other normal types of files.

Here they are already starting a system of garbage bags with nfc tags to have our garbage controlled.

Sounds like a great way of getting people to throw their garbage in any place other than the bag…

What stops anyone from making new GUIs, maybe even a new framework for doing that, optimised for touchscreens rather than keyboard and mouse?

Maybe I’m just unknowledgeable, but to me that idea doesn’t sound very far-fetched.

Who wants to run scaled down desktop apps on their phone

I believe the UI of most apps could be made to work well with phone display sizes and resolutions.

and who wants a terminal on a phone either?

Well, I do! It’s great when you want to connect, do or automate something there isn’t an app for. For now I sometimes run Termux on Android. Among smartphone users in general I’m probably an edge case, but among Linux users, I must say, using a terminal on the phone doesn’t seem that crazy to me.

How do you edit anything with that App Manager app? I can see them listed for each app on their respective tabs, but nothing happens when I tap or hold any of them.

A tragical traffical tragedy. Flock off!

Ronapp McDonapp?

I’m a pretty untrustworthy stranger on the internet, it seems. The domain is still available, and I’m somewhat intrigued by it, though not enough to actually grab it. But I did change my name to Stephanie nonetheless…

I’m changing my name to Stephanie right now, and buying harmlessdomain.com if it’s available! Then I’ll always be fine!

The linked site does not have a valid SSL certificate. To me, that seems pretty sketchy for a registrar. Are you sure the URL is correct?

I think some used them to gain insight in clicks (bit.ly provided stats for numbers, user agents etc.), and to track the origin of clicks by generating a unique shortened URL for each linking post.

Also, the obvious use case of turning a long direct URL to a file into something people can actually be bothered to manually copy from paper…

I keep getting a “Database download failed” error, unfortunately, even with network permission enabled…

Now, that’s a great list with a lot of my preferred software on it – almost as had I written it myself! Good work. Keep it up.

I’m not sure how to read the Plexus entries, and they don’t seem to be clickable. Would you mind explaining how to use the site in a meaningful way?

But basic internet permission is given to all apps without asking.

But it really shouldn’t be! And GrapheneOS, at least, always asks the user when installing apps that want network permission. If the user doesn’t plan on using any network-based features of the app, they can simply decline.

CalcYou seems great, and it’s on F-Droid.

I’ve heard it mentioned as a “fly swatter” in my mother’s tongue.

It’s the Danish word “pungen”.

In my native language, our word for scrotum translates to “the wallet”.

Buy the phone used and/or with cash. And never put any SIM card in it that can be linked back to you or someone you know.

Something like hello@sub.dom.com? I have never seen an address containing a subdomain, but cool if it’s actually possible!

Spend some time finding a few good searxng instances. Also, the language setting affects the results a lot, so make sure to change it based on what you’re searching for. I mostly use “english [en]”, but for local searches I change it to my native language, or to the language of the relevant country.

Yeahh, those guys invented the phonetic alphabet back in the days, didn’t they? Bravo, Papa Queef!

How much frame would a Framework work, if a Framework could work frame?
