Why are you still burning CDs?

I think the second guy had it backwards.

Nearly half of foster children in the US become homeless when they reach the age of 18

You can get the streams in the form of a playlist file.

Attach it to any subsonic player. Or probably VLC

Twitter AI

It seems to go along popularity lines. I have never heard of this phone.

Yes it is. PITA to work within your own network.

I run a DNS server for this purpose.

I wanted a taskbar button for Navidrome at work. This is so I could quickly find my music in between the several open Firefox windows.

As the IT admin, I could’ve installed this. But I knew I REALLY shouldn’t. It needed administrator rights, and I had no idea how secure it was.

So instead I used Brave for Navidrome PWA. Brave was installed as local user, so it couldn’t bring down my entire organization if it got my password.

Now I’ll be able to switch back.

You can do DDNS for free, using a client app on your server, rather than router.

I use cloudflare-ddns

Eh. I just want OGblivion on Android, since that’s all I seem to get to play anymore.

How does one have a donation = no influence policy?

Huge companies donate to make open apps like this reliant on them. Then they threaten to pull the donation if that doesn’t happen…

Strong Copyleft licenses protect from this by allowing others to fork and keep an app going without being taken advantage of.

If Google donates 1 billion dollars tomorrow, and over several months, Ladybird will expand to use that money. Then Google can threaten to stop the donations unless LB does something like “make ad blockers worse”

It’s a web browser. The only money they will make is from donations. Unless they do something wonky with their business model, like charge. Then no one will use it anyway.

I’m fully aware of what a SHA file is, and it’s entirely unimportant to me.

Admittedly, I did check the arch image I use at work.

Doing the lords work.

Permaseed is the default. To disable perma-seed would be to set an upload limit, like a time amount or a ratio.

I run a ratio of 2:1 for most stuff

This is especially useful for Books. Small torrents are so hard to find. I perma seed books/audiobooks and copy to my slskd directory because they’re so hard.

Buy a pixel a or an older flagship.

8 pro, virtually identical to the 9 pro, is like $400 renewed on Amazon. It’ll be more powerful than your S8, but not that powerful overall. Not sure how it compares to an A series, worth looking in to.

GrapheneOS is the most stable OS I’ve ever used. I haven’t ever had any problems with it that wasn’t a result to its security features.

No. Apple TV is 2 different products with this name. Apple TV+ is a subscription based TV streaming service. Like Netflix and Disney+.

The other one, Apple TV, the one Sonos is copying, is a piece of hardware that plugs to your TV and downloads apps to connect to the other streaming services. This hardware piece is comparable to an Amazon Firestick, a Google Chromecast, Nvidia Sheild, Roku, and a slew of cheap Android TV boxes.

Hardware is more capable… To do what?

I know some people play games and stuff, but as a streaming device, why? The newest Chromecast handles x264 and can support an Ethernet port just fine for like half the price.

Also supports miracast for the odd screen casting need

Roku comes preinstalled on a lot of the Chinese brands. I assumed the rest of the world bought those as well.

Origin?
