My day-to-day stuff stays in sync via syncthing on my two laptops, my desktop and my home server. They all run btrfs, so I won’t be syncing any flipped bits around.
Home server rsyncs from my VPS once a week. When that’s fine, it rsyncs itself over to a hetzner storage over sshfs+gocryptfs.
Four copies at home, one in the cloud.
“Let’s wait and C”.
I’ve tried libreelec on a raspberry pi 4, but it just doesn’t pass the wife test.
We have a thomson streaming stick 140G (EU branding for ONN). We just use jellyfin, smarttube and our national public service streaming apps. It’s in apps-only mode, but Google still injects one ad on the home screen. I didn’t bother with a custom launcher just yet.
They are offering a free battery swap if you are affected. Or $50. Or $100 off a new phone.
Sounds like they’re picking the cheap route out of a full recall on a pretty old phone.
Maybe I can submit a proposal for risc-VI 🤣
No need! You can make your own custom extension! If the silicon doesn’t support it, then you can provide firmware to emulate it.
I’m no connoisseur, but I just want the same feel as I had back in the 90s. No terminal emulator, straight up tty with crisp VGA ROM fonts at some hacky SuperVGA resolution. Before the virtual framebuffer that basically every computer today uses for tty.
Konsole, gnome-terminal and ghostty can all be made to feel right to me. I’m giving ghostty a spin, and I like how it supports custom shaders so I can make it feel even more like home.
Sweet! Tempo is the best subsonic client I’ve found for Android. Hoping to use it for a long time.
It’s a protocol for hosting music libraries.
Think of it like your personal Spotify backend.
I’m running navidrome to serve music to tempo on my devices.
Sure, it performed “fine”.
But it was sluggish compared to the VGA ttys we were used to.
Now, if we can have something as snappy and at the same time as pretty as Eterm… 👌
Is it really practical in 2024? I used pine as my sole e-mail client for many years.
In the last 15 years it feels like every mail expects the client to be able to render html, with no real fallback for text-only. Even when my client only blocks remote images some mail can be quite hard to decipher.
Company handbook even requires me to have a html signature with a picture of the company logo… before that I’ve militantly only sent text-only e-mail.
I haven’t used one as a tty, but my father had a typewriter like that.
He’d feed in forms for invoicing and software would have the typewriter fill in values in the right fields of that form.
I’ve had vt220/320/520 terminals back in the day. Been itching to source one now that I have a forever home to store crap like that, but they’re becoming quite rare and expensive.
Might’ve been a while since you tried. There’s quite a few options now. zstd is real nice and fast.
Envycontrol is simple and works well.
I much enjoyed it back in the day. Nokia even had their own app store for it and gave a nice financial incentive for the first hundred or thousand apps.
I feel Jolla & SailfishOS is the spiritual successor.
Depends on your setup. I’m a btrfs guy, so I’d go with something similar as your other reply. It’s just as easy to remove/replace/add drives. They don’t even have to match in size. Just remember to balance after doing modifications to your array.
Whatever you get, get at least two and do RAID1/5/6. They will break.
Speed shouldn’t be an issue for streaming media.
I use a PowerBook G4 running MorphOS.
My parents never bought me an Amiga when I was little, and I’ve been making up for it ever since.
Inspired by xkcd’s thing explainer I generated a list of how often words appeared in subtitles on opensubtitles for my target language.
I whipped those into a database, added manual translation for the top-1000 and started quizzing myself with a tiny php script.
It was more fun to code than to actually quiz myself. I think I played the top-100 before I got bored.
Integrated GPU is not a dirty word anymore.
AMD’s system-on-a-chips with RDNA2/3 pack almost the same punch as the discrete cards with the same architecture. See steamdeck as the prime example, but there’s quite a few boards, boxes and laptops with the same.
I have a storagebox at hetzner. My script does:
I can access the storagebox by password, too. So this is my disaster recovery in case my house burns down with all my devices. I’ll just buy another laptop the next day, and me and the Mrs can admire all my code and our wedding videos within a few hours.
