I actually enjoy listening to podcasts on PipePipe (YouTube client) so ads get autoskipped with SponsorBlock.

That one is infuriating. Having a good client is so key to adoption... And Element is still really, really bad. Yes, it has almost all the features, but refusing multi-account is so so so annoying, and being Electron garbage is horrible. They have so much funding it's ridiculous.

XMPP is another case where adoption has mostly failed exactly because there are no "flagship" clients that do it all.

That's why DeltaChat looks so good. The official clients work great everywhere, and they can do it all!

I think there is plenty of joy there. I am sorry you are not seeing it.

There are plenty of relationships that are very warming. Love is very present, family and friendship is so central.

I would say the show is way more about growing up and fighting for life than anything else.

But the margins on bikes are freaking terrible, this is going to tank the economy!! Kill the bike lanes!! Keep the gasoline micropayments!!

It's the last bit, she was originally more important and ended up as an extra in the edition process.

TLDR: she was in IronMan 3 but they did not credit her and she didn't like that at all.

Fix: they did credit her, but not as the original, important character she was supposed to be. Her scenes were mostly cut and she ended up as a very minor "extra".

If you are not using SearXNG you are missing out!

I stopped watching at some point because I felt that the point of Black Mirror, which was, originally, in my opinion, to create a debate and make you think and reflect on how technology can change everything... Turned into typical, empty scifi dramas.

Arch Linux?

Check out Luanti. It used to be called Minetest. It's a libre version of the same thing.

No, no, make phone SMALLER while keeping thickness. The world needs smaller screens and more eyes on reality.

Previous season was so bad we didn't even finished it. Just watch seasons 1-3 and leave it at that.

 

Is there a database of sorts for these things? It seems like there should be.

 

What's your pick?

 

The OnePlus Watch 2 has 2 chips, and basically runs a lightweight OS while keeping the hungry one in very very low power, and only powering it up when necessary.

I was thinking that maybe such idea could be applied on a Linux phone that could run all your banking apps without Waydroid's "you-must-be-a-hacker" issues, literally by having a half-asleep Android running on another chip, which you can wake up whenever to do your "non-hacker" things, while at the same time you can run the rest of your system (calls, messaging, calculator, calendar, browser...) on your lightweight, private and personalized Linux mobile OS.

I think I would pay big bucks for something like this, and it could serve as a transition device for ditching Android in the future when Tux finally governs over the world.

What do you guys think?

 

Go and check the link, but essentially:

  • small
  • 2023 release (Android 13)
  • HEADPHONE JACK (I was almost sold here)
  • NFC
  • 8GB RAM (that is powerful)
  • 256 GB internal storage
  • Dual SIM or SIM+MicroSD
  • IR BLASTER (whatttttttt)
  • LED indicators (front AND BACK)
  • fingerprint scanner
  • face ID
  • FM Radio
  • PROGRAMMABLE BUTTON (ok I'm in love already STOPPP)

I mean... this list is mindblowing. So...

What's the downside?

Honestly, you can go and check all reviews... but this phone is virtually perfect for the size, the only issue I have is that the screen is a bit too tiny, 3 inches, and 480p, and I think this will make many people run away.

It should make me look elsewhere also... but where? Any other small phone with a bigger screen is pretty bad, old, etc... and I really needed a new phone, so I realised this was an opportunity to commit to the cause, and buy and hopefully push this form factor from Unihertz to mainstream brands.

Hopefully one day we can get one with a slightly bigger screen, I believe 4 inches and 1080p would be brutal. But for now... I think I've found my new phone. In fact, I bought it 3 hours after knowing its existance.

If you are not sold yet...

Go check reviews on YouTube (example). Honestly, you'll see every reviewer falls in love with the device, even non-small phone lovers. It looks like it performs pretty well, it's decently fast, battery is solid, screen is bright and colorful, the LEDs are really useful, even Face ID (which I'll probably disable) is quick, it does not heat up at all, and even photos are pretty decent...

And it's something like 200 $. Come on. What a deal.

Will report back.

So, what do you think?

 

I was not a podcast guy at all, but I stumbled upon Andrew Huberman a few months ago and wow, what an amazing source of information and it has helped me a lot while making conmutes and training sessions a lot less wasteful.

The thing is that, now that I basically have consumed all their catalogue, I feel the need for more.

I am very interested in science, backed-up self-improvement, open source stuff, and... Maybe, if it's really well done I could enjoy some politics.

I mostly like to get informed and to grow. I have other sources for entertainment.

 

I followed this video to make my Home Asssistant accessible from everywhere, and yeah, port 8123 is fully clear to me, I've done it, it works great.

But he also talks about port 443, and when he sets it up in the router instead of choosing 443 on both WAN and LAN he goes for 443 to 8123. Why? And which one is the WAN and the LAN one? His router config has completely different names to mine, and as you can tell I am quite a noob at this.

 

Essentially the title.

If only S2 (previous connection point from light switch to bulb) is truly required, then, wow, that makes things way easier to install.

I guess electrically it makes sense, I'm just weirded out it does not show in the instructions.

 

I just started my journey into Home Automation, and I think I am starting to understand better what Matter actually signifies...

So, Zigbee is just a communication protocol, and the definition of smart devices is actually done by ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT, etc... correct?

So Matter actually reduces all those Zigbee sub-protocols into one thing, so one Matter bulb will be always compatible, you don't need to pick like we do now with ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT... correct?

And then, the Zigbee communication is substituted either with Thread (basically Zigbee technology but for Matter) or Wi-Fi. But the smart device definition is still Matter, so a bulb will always behave like Matter specifies, in terms of variables and parameters.

Am I getting close?
