I'm not sure about how this works in kodi but in jellyfin the client might request a different resolution which causes the server to try and reencode the provided file on the fly. In my case my server isn't fast enough for this which leads to constant buffering

Raid is not a backup

There's qobuz but they don't have everything

I have a couple ideas though I'm not sure how good they would actually be. I guess anything you use for a hobby or are interested in could be used.

A 3D printer was already mentioned but would probably be the most fascinating (and bulky) thing I could bring. In that case I would probably talk about the workflow that goes into making a part, what to look out for when printing and how a print is actually made.

For simpler stuff I have 2 ideas. Firstly, I am kind of fascinated by pocket watches and have one that belonged to my great grandfather or something and is probably ~100 years old at this point. My grandmother gave it to me on my 18th birthday. The scale of the parts inside such a watch and how they work really interests me but I don't dare take any of the watches I have apart since the parts are so small (though still larger than modern mechanical wrist watches). Did you know there are so called "railroad grade" pocket watches? They were used by train conductors and had to have a certain minimum accuracy since time differences in planning could otherwise lead to train collissions.

The second small thing I could talk a bit about are fountain pens. For that I also have an older pen (A Pelikan 140 which was manufactured some time in the 50s or 60s) which is a piston filler pen, meaning it requires using ink bottles to refill. This allows usage of some really nice looking inks. Interestingly, the color of the ink on the paper can vary greatly depending on various parts of the pen (Nib thickness or the feed of the pen impacting the wetness) and the paper which may be more or less absorbant. I have a nice green ink which will have a red shimmer on wetter line parts if I use the correct paper. On other paper types it is just green.

People absolutely "do". Mostly because they cannot be bothered to change the default setting or because they are teenagers and actually like it

But don't you want to open this website in our app so that we can better track you?

God I hate reddits mobile website, especially when you try to view an nsfw post

Why port forwarding off specifically?

Please for the love of god, someone go and build an electric car that is as dumb as possible

Oh definitely.

I still hate my old phone for locking ADB behind a Mi account registration and when I wanted to go into the theme settings some stupid marketplace app opened from which I could quit by hitting the back button to het to the actual android theme settings

Where do you see low bandwidth? Maybe over long distances but if I can give a pigeon a 1TiB USB stick and send it to the next city I bet it will be faster than uploading the data. If it arrives that is

The company says services like Plex, Pluto TV, Sling TV, Starz, and ZDF will introduce support later this year.

I always had the impression that plex was really slow when it comes to implementing new features. I'm definitely looking forward to a chromecast alternative though. Being locked into googles DNS gives me problems due to it prohibiting streaming from my local server via hostname.

I really hope it will be implemented in Jellyfin as well since I can't get my installation to work with Chromecast at all (most likely again due to the DNS issue)

I used to like slavart. I found out about them while they still allowed album downloads on their website. Later I moved to their divolt website (like a selfhosted discord) where they allowed downloads via bots.

At some point they decided not to bother with divolt and told everyone to start using their discord bot. Anyone who had concerns about privacy or about using their main discord account for piracy was pretty much told that they were an idiot and should go fuck themselves.

At that point I transitioned to ripping directly from quobus as explained in this guide. If I can't find what I want on quobuz I go to deezer.

Whenever this question comes up I see myanonamouse recommended as a private tracker.

I just wanted to throw in that there is also a tracker called abtorrents which hosts audiobooks and ebooks, though I believe most or all of them are english.

I cannot speak as to the selection between those two unfortunately.

First big problem is that cops or anyone else can wear gloves

Obviously we have to ban gloves

Yeah sorry. I was half asleep while I wrote this. That is the problem I have as well.

One workaround I found is to use the separate search bar (if you have it enabled) as a buffer.

When I copy the URL I can paste it into the search bar but nowhere else. If I copy the search bar I can paste it everywhere just fine

Personally I didn't have any problems with that yet fortunately.

My bigger problem right now is a bug that prevents me from copying stuff from the url bar when middle-click pasting is disabled in the KDE settings...

In X11 the bug doesn't exist

Huh. Nice

Honestly I kind of liked the eragon books though if asked I couldn't say why.

The attempted movie adaptation was horrible though

Oh my god yes.

Every fucking time I open reddit on my phone the entire website goes grey and they offer me to use the app... Unless the content is NSFW in which case they tell me I have to use the app.

Fortunately old reddit still works to get around that but it doesn't have a mobile page layout

yt-dlp supports downloading playlists. By using the --archive option it can save all downloaded video ID's into a text file and will only download videos which are not in that file.

I wrote a docker container with a friend that uses that mechanism to auto download new videos every time it is triggered using cron. The configuration is a bit rough though and there is no gui so if this supports that part as well I might switch.

Not sure if that's the kind of device you are asking about but kobo e-readers run Linux. It's allowed me to sideload my books over SFTP instead of always having to plug in a USB cable

It's not foss unfortunately and the license prohibits its free usage in a company

Does SQL count as a programming language?

I know that you can write DB hooks and stuff but in my mind it still doesn't register as programming

Not a valid option if you are looking specifically for lossless music

I used KDEConnect in the past but ran into issues where somehow media sent to my phone wasn't saved somehow. Probably some permission issue but I didn't manage to fix it. Also the windows client only allows selection of one file at a time.

Recently I've tried out LocalSend and found it a much smoother experience.

Unfortunately I still have some breaking bugs with wayland on my laptop.

Most notably big blue button (an open source video conference tool) refuses to connect when using firefox with wayland.

Firefox does not allow copying of urls in wayland if a certain setting is enabled in kde plasmas settings.

I cannot move views around or redock windows in eclipse.

Xilinx vivadi randomly crashes on wayland but not on X11.

Notably, aside from the url copying problem, most of those things will not be an issue for the typical user

Not the person you replied to but that's it

Thanks for the motivational speech

Not OP but I'm curious about one thing I personally miss with kate.

Do you know if it is possible with kate to keep temporary text files open after closing the program the same way notepad++ can?

I can't turn it off because none of the lightbulbs in the house would turn on anymore

Personally I try to avoid making anything in my home actually dependant on my server. I have a single lamp that can only be controlled from my phone and that's only because it's so rarely used that I didn't want to put in the effort. Everything else is local first and only gets extended functionality from my server running.

I've had a couple issues with my zigbee stuff over the years on the server side and I would be really pissed if I wouldn't be able to turn my lights on because I haven't gotten around to fixing my server yet.

I believe that is an Android 14 feature, not something exclusive to Pixel phones

That sounds awesome. I always wished to be able to visit other regions in my pokemon games. It's one of the reasons why I enjoyed soulsilver so much

I believe its missing h265 and av1 hardware support and while it probably has enough performance to handle those codecs in software, I wasn't willing to drop more than 100 euros on a 5 year old device without hardware decoding for them

With woodworking you actually get to hold your creations.

This is the reason I got interested in embedded software development.

I managed to do it somehow without a kindle but it was an absolute pain in the ass. For my first few books I had to download then using a specific old version of the kindle desktop app so that calibre was able to remove the encryption. Apparently the encryption used by the newer kindle desktop app is different.

For my next books that suddenly wasn't enough and I had to use an old android app version in an emulator and get the books out of the hidden app storage using adb.

I'm never buying an ebook of amazon again if I can avoid it

This is what I use for youtube on my android tv. Works mostly great although I recently had some stuttering during playnack that I have yet to find the cause of

I believe teamspeak 4 is more similar to discord than ts3. No idea if it supports screen sharing though

Yes, but the question was about the search history which is not saved when you exit incognito

Honestly, I wouldn't try to develop this for network sharing. That would make it encroach a lot on the territory of dedicated server software like jellyfin which most likely has a lot more development power behind it.

Probably better to focus on your niche

Not all devices can play av1. You will still shoot pictures and videos in 264 or 265. Can you already edit av1? Do you do that? Check that everything you own and do can work with av1. You should prefer 265 over 264 nowadays.

The default windows 10 installation for example can't even handle h265 -.-
