Thank you for sharing 😁 just migrated my data over from Newpipe x SponsorBlock.
For anyone wondering how to:
In NewPipe x SponsorBlock go to Settings > Content > Export Database, save it, then open Tubular, go to Settings > Content > Import Database, click the ZIP, and it will import all your data from NewPipe (playlists, subs, watched videos, and settings)
I went with the virtual appliance when I installed Home Assistant several years ago, turned out to be a great decision looking at how it’s architected. I only self-host the database separately, which i’ve found easier to manage.
the fact that the storage usage keeps growing
There should be a setting to reduce how long Home Assistant retains data for - I removed the limit on mine, however its possible that on newer versions they’ve changed the default
Hope you find a solution though - I think node red (capable of doing dashboards on its own) with something else is going to get you part way there.
I have no idea why some manufacturers refuse to put the single required resistor on the USBC charge detect pins in their product, so the charger actually turns on.
If you’re looking at new laptops, there’s two main things to look out for IMO: soldered on RAM, and a plastic chassis.
Over the years I’ve had the unfortunate experience of repairing so many broken HP laptops in particular that I just avoid them out of principle. They tend to place a lot of heat generating components internally right beside the lid hinge, causing the plastic there to weaken and start to break off. On some occasions I’ve seen this plastic get stuck inside the nearby CPU fan, which causes the laptop to overheat and shut down on you without warning.
There are other companies that used to be more sensible with their component placement, like Asus and Fujitsu, but IMO it would be relatively safe to pick a laptop with a non-plastic chassis that feels good to use.
No, a desktop is not mandatory for CAD. I personally use both a 4 yo desktop and a 12 yo laptop just fine
Everyone else has posted some really helpful answers for your other questions so I’ll end my post here!
I’ve had my MX Master for about 4 years now, best mouse I’ve owned. Tracks on almost every surface, easy enough to open and replace the internal battery, and feels great in the hand. The dual friction scroll wheel is amazing for scrolling through large webpages, folders, and lines of code.
Really wish it was at least a bit open source though. It’s capable of so much with the extra built in buttons and additional scroll wheel, but outside of Windows and Mac they are not very programmable
I’m not so sure about clients that are specifically focused on security and privacy, however my general FOSS mobile app suggestions would be Voyager for a polished UX, or Eternity for a more native Android experience.
The level of downvotes on this comment is absolutely wild, although unsurprising since the OP is about a W for Linux…
On the flipside at least we’re not a certain other website that restricts user activity based on their internet points… so OC can still participate without their stuff being auto deleted by a bot
You don’t get 4K on Windows or Mac either unless you have a HDCP-compatible display, a supported graphics card, and typically the devices will refuse to initiate a handshake due to the locality check failing, or a difference in HDCP version - Unless you have a “smart” TV you’re watching in 1080p or lower.
Piracy point still stands: why pay for a service that does not guarantee to give you what you are specifically paying for, and actually goes out of their way to block your access?
Netflix may take away their subscription but they can’t take away my Transmission and VLC.
Haven’t watched the video, going by your title I’m assuming it’s similar to a feature on macbooks where they can be plugged straight into another Mac, thunderbolt, or FireWire device, while powered off, and have their hard drive accessed directly from another computer.
There is code for this in the Linux kernel (sadly not quite the plug and play experience that Macs have, you need to boot after plugging in AFAIK?), and a news article about the commit that added it to the kernel for Thunderbolt was posted to this community a while back. Sadly I have no idea what devices support it, but it is at least is open source.
