Podcast Addict is not quite as streamlined, but has many more features.
My favorite feature is the "Automatic Rewind" combined with "Incremental rewind". It adds a rewind everytime you pause and resume an episode that increases the longer the podcast has been paused. It means that if I briefly pause, for example to respond to. Some one in real life talking to me, then it will automatically rewind 5 seconds when I start the podcast again, so I can hear the sentence I was in the middle of in full. But if I leave a podcast alone for a week, then it will rewind 1 minute so I can get fully back into the context of what I was listening to.
I find the dissonance between wanting to kill someone, but not wanting to curse at them, absolutely wonderful

Open-source EVs are a bit like Gentoo, you have to build it yourself.
But the author is actually using less data than expected, because he's paying for 4K, but only able to watch up to 1080p
Are you familiar with the concept of a caffé latte?
Yeah, definition of "legitimate interest" is definitely being stretched well beyond it's breaking point.

It's rather important to understand the performance characteristics for people to know what to expect if they want to switch to Linux.
If games ran at half the FPS on Linux as they would have on Windows, then pretty much no one would be gaming on linux.
If you got 90% performance on Linux, only Linux enthusiasts would take the performance hit.
At 100% performance the choice is completely free, people that got fed up with windows could just switch.
When Linux outperforms Windows, this puts us in very interesting territory, as this might even entice a bunch of people to give Linux a try to see whether the switch is worth the performance. I'm personally quite interested in seeing whether this could be the tipping point for Linux on desktop and laptop to really start taking off.
Yeah, lots of pages are trying to pull that stunt, which isn't legal according to the GDPR. Facebook and many news outlets are trying it too.
I filed a complaint about Facebook with my local data protection agency, which agreed and forwarded the case to Ireland. Well see whether Ireland conforms to the GDPR.

Nope, those steps are the steps needed to legally watch Netflix on Asahi Linux on an Apple Silicon device, because Google has not officially released the widevine library for that platform
Some apps for Lemmy support blocking whole instances. Both Connect and Sync does.

As others have already said, set up a VPN like wireguard, connect to the VPN and then SSH to the server. No need to open ports for SSH.
I do have port 22 open on my network, but it's forwarded to an SSH tarpit: https://github.com/skeeto/endlessh
I use Promtail+Loki+Grafana on my home server, which is decently performant, light on resources and storage, and searchable. It takes a little effort to learn the LogQL query language, but it's very expressive.
I'm running it on Kubernetes, but it should be pretty straightforward to configure for running on plain Docker.
Even better if the IoT devices doesn't even connect to your WiFi or LAN... Zigbee devices for example.
As a Software Engineer, I ask myself that question several times per day.

The new Unity pricing is not necessarily cheaper than Unreal. It depends on the price model for the game in question.
Many free-to-play games see massive amounts of installs, but very little average revenue per game. See of those devs did the math for their games, and found out that their average revenue per player was around 18 cents. So if Unity charges 20 cents per install, the dev would outright have to pay Unity 2 cents more than the player even gave them in revenue.
Some other devs calculated that the install fees would come out to 106% or the total revenue that their game had made.
Unreal's price model is generally 5% of revenue, so that would be significantly cheaper.
But it depends a lot on the actual price model for the game. Some games will pay rather little in install fees, while others will pay excessive amounts.
Yeah, there's tonnes of good content on there, but as you allude to, there's even more shitty or zero effort content... And the algorithm has a way of serving up absolute trash. And the parental controls are pretty much non existent...
Youtube happily serves up videos to an 8 year old (on a supervised children's account) that contain topics like abuse, sex, racism, horror, radical religious indoctrination, Chinese propaganda, and human centipede... This isn't as rampant in the YouTube Kids app... But at least half the stuff on YouTube Kids is ASMR content or unboxing "surprise" toys...
YouTube allows you to block channels, but will happily continue serving the 9000 other accounts that simply reupload the same exact videos.
Wow... How did they argue that consent was still "freely given"? And also that it is "as easy" to give as it is to withdraw consent?
Relevant quotes:
Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.
It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.
According to Karl, Billy must pay all the legal fees if he withdraws from the lawsuit. He must also pay the legal fees if he loses. Billy's only way out of paying would be to win the lawsuit.
So the longer Karl strings him along, the more the fees will mount.
And since Billy doesn't have a leg to stand on he can either withdraw now, pay a lot of money, and admit he lied. Or he can keep fighting mounting more fees in the slim nope of winning.
There has already been multiple rulings under the GDPR where pages made it too hard to reject processing of personal data.
Google was forced to change their consent banner to make it easier to decline.
GDPR explicitly says that it must be as easy to decline as it is to accept. Paying €14 per month is not as easy as not paying €14 per month.
Consent is also not "freely given" if paying is the only way to avoid consenting.

You very well might be. Your car might be "dumb" to the user, but still have a culular modem that transmits information to the manufacturer.
The manufacturer has already paid the subscription upfront, and can get very very low deals from the culular networks due to the low amount of data transmitted.
I own both a Kindle Basic 10 and a Kobo Clara HD.
Both devices can sideload books just fine out of the box, and you will be able to read them without having to do any hacks or jailbreaks. The easiest way to sideload and keep track of your books is using Calibre on a computer.
But I will say that the sideloading experience of the two devices are night and day.
Kindles are very clearly built to funnel you into the Amazon book store. Buying books from Amazon is smooth and easy.
For sideloading on Kindles you must convert to mobi, azw, azw3 or kfx. All of these have different feature support. So if you want Book covers, the updated layout engine and typesetting, then you must use kfx. But Calibre can't natively convert to kfx. So you will need to install amazons ebook previewer and a plugin in Calibre to make Calibre convert to kfx via the amazon ebook preview application. Each conversion takes roughly 2 minutes, and randomly fails for no apparent reason.
If you decide to use Kindles' email option for sideloading, then your books will be converted to mobi, so you lose out on a lot of features. And the kindle sees the books as documents, not books.
If you sideload with Calibre and try to upload books with book covers, then it will work fine, and for a couple of seconds after uploading the book it will work fine. Then the Kindle will realize that should definitely look up the book cover om Amazon, and if it finds the book if will overwrite your book cover, if not it will replace it with a blank page. You can then reconnect your Kindle to Calibre and Calibre will fix your book covers properly. But if your Kindle is able to look up the book on Amazon it will continue to overwrite your book cover.
Finally the organization of sideloaded books sucks on Kindle. If you sideload via email, then you can organized the books through Amazon's website. If you sideload with Calibre you can't, and your only option is to manually organized your books into folders on the device one by one. This is extremely slow and tedious.
Sideloading books on a Kobo can't be done via e-mail, but Kobo supports epub out of the box, which most ebook are. If you want the books to load and navigate faster, you can convert to kepub, this requires a plugin for Calibre, but no additional software. Each book conversion takes 2-3 seconds, and the book arrives on your Kobo with a functioning book cover, full functionality and zero fuss. Additionally Kobos automatically organize books into folders based on both author and series based on your metadata in Calibre, making it a breeze to organize your entire library on your computer and just transfer things, already organized, to your kobo. Kobos also has an additional section called "Collections" which you can map to any field in Calibre you like. I have mapped mine to a Genre field, but you could organize stuff by anything you want.
So if you are planning to primarily sideload books, I would strongly encourage you to look at a Kobo instead of a Kindle.
Mine is more like:
10 minutes? Oh neat, that sounds like a nice little snack, maybe a new topic to discover?
Half an hour? Oooh, this could get interesting, this could be a pretty good introduction to the topic.
An hour? Nice, someone clearly did some research and isn't skimping in details! Time to learn something.
Six hours? Holy heck, this topic must be much deeper than I though! This person clearly did some homework and has something to say! Time to get consumed.
While shorter lived certs certainly improve the general security, certificate revocation lists are what you need if a cert gets compromised.
Wait until you set up cert-manager to issue both Let's Encrypt certificates, as well as generating your own CA and issuing certs from your own CA where you can set the validity however want.
This is pretty cool, but I'm wondering why... Sure there's lots of systems that make use of A/B partitions, which is a pretty good move, but with BTRFS you could have it all in one partition with an A/B subvolume, and they would even be able to share extents that are common between the two (meaning drastically reduced disk space requirements), while still maintaining the ability to boot into either...
Depending on how much changes you might even keep many more than just two subvolumes. On my machine I run BTRFS with snapper, which takes periodic snapshots, as well as before and after every time I install or uninstall a package, with the ability to boot into any of the snapshots if a change somehow botches my system.
If that's the case, you simply installed a heat pump with too little capacity...
Heatpumps come in all sizes... I just looked up one that outputs 50 kW worth of heat, and if that isn't enough you can integrate up to 16 of them to output a total of 800 kW of heat.
That being said, if your house is badly insulated and drafty, you should fix that first, it will immediately cut your heating bill, no matter which heat source you use.
It's nice to have some quick mental conversions ready.
1 mile is roughly 1.6 km, so 100 miles is roughly 160 km
3 feet is roughly a meter
2 pounds are roughly 1 kg
1 gallon is roughly 4 liters
32 fahrenheit it 0 celcius, 100 fahrenheit is slightly over body temperature, 200 fahrenheit is almost enough to boil water... Any other value requires math to figure out...
Live service and single player is not incompatible... Unfortunately...
Look at Hitman (2016 and forward), all require an online connection to play, and release new stuff monthly.
Many of Ubisofts games also require an online connection despite being fully single player, and you can even buy currency for the in-game single player shop with real money... What used to be a cheat code is now a microtransaction.
Ah, I misunderstood then. I keep hearing Americans praise Jesus, only to turn around and do everything Jesus told people not to do...
But yeah it totally makes sense when you only consider these people who only use the Bible as a tool.
Factorio. I saw transport belts in my dreams.
It would be wonderful with something more granular than "NSFW"...
I would love if we got something even more granular like a "Content Warning: ".
Examples:
Content Warning: nudity- might be a painting with nude people, might be a photo of nude people, in essence if it isn't porn, but there's exposed genitals, butts or breasts.Content Warning: porn- you can probably guess...Content Warning: gore- images with gore, people missing body parts, often dead as well.Content Warning: death- images with people dying, but without gore.Content Warning: blood- images with some blood, but no death or gore. (often seen in news articles)Content Warning: violence- people fighting, but without turning bloody.These could of course be expanded with many more categories if need be.
EDIT: added violence by request
