  • In case you didn't know, you can send a YouTube URL to Kodi by sharing it from your phone to the Kore app.

    So you can do your browsing on your phone/tablet and when you want to watch something on the big screen, you just share it with the Kore app and it will start playing.

    • Firefox now has Terms of Use! This'll go over like a lead balloon

    Jump

  • This doesn't make any sense to me either. Why do they need a license for what you type into Firefox if that data never gets shared with Mozilla?

    I don't know a single application that you need to give a license to so they can handle your data locally.

  • What? X11 has zero HDR support.

    • New printer, considering the prusa CoreONE...but

    Jump

  • The printing speed is slow AF...a 37min benchy on a coreXY in 2025, WTF!? My bedslinger does it in less than 30min.

    The default Prusa profiles are incredibly conservative. They prioritize quality and part strength over speed. If you need the speed you can easily bump it to 200% with minimal issues.

    • There is now an 'on the go' section in Flathub to promote mobile apps

    Jump

  • Hey, Fractal looks pretty cool. Might just replace Element.

    • The era of open voice assistants has arrived - Home Assistant

  • People with disabilities would like a word with you.

    • community hosted backups

    Jump

  • I have exactly the setup you described, a Raspberry Pi with an 8 TB SSD parked at a friend of mine. It connects to my network via Wireguard automatically and just sits there until one of my hosts running Duplicati starts to sync the encrypted backups to it.

    Has been running for 2 years now with no issues.

    • This $149 RISC-V Tablet Runs Ubuntu 24.04

    Jump

  • I'm still waiting for somebody to release a Linux tablet with an immutable distro and Waydroid pre-installed.

    Could be a killer product for productivity. Solid linux distro for desktop usage with the possibility to seamlessly open Android apps on demand.

    • S12E1: The One Amigo - Discussion

    Jump

  • Once again, the format doesn't work for me when the main topic is about a fad that nobody talks about anymore.

    It worked in South Park for a long time because they had a relevant episode a week or two after it happened. In Futurama, not so much.

    The Bender story was pretty neat though. They could have left out all of the NFT stuff and focused just on the Bender plot and it would have been a significantly better episode.

    • Lithium metal battery with over 500 Wh/kg developed

    Jump

  • Sodium-based batteries currently have a lower energy density than lithium-based batteries so they are only useful in some applications.

    • Tech support workers, what are your favorite stories from your time in the industry?

    Jump

  • When I worked help desk, a coworker of mine took a call where someone called in because one of the thin clients was on fire. The user was advised to call 911.

    Well, did he try to turn it off and NOT back on again?

    • Google, Cloudflare & Cisco Will Poison DNS to Stop Piracy Block Circumvention * TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • That is what I'm doing currently but now unbound doesn't talk to the root servers anymore, it sends all queries to Quad9.

    Both scenarios are not ideal because you always end up with one entity knowing all your queries.

    • What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?

    Jump

  • Right you are, but don't start telling everyone so I can't silently download my lossless albums from Tidal, Deezer and Qobuz anymore.

    • Google, Cloudflare & Cisco Will Poison DNS to Stop Piracy Block Circumvention * TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • Not illegal but it leaves all your DNS lookups in plain text with your ISP, which just doesn't sit right with me.

    Not that the ISP in my country would care.

    • Google, Cloudflare & Cisco Will Poison DNS to Stop Piracy Block Circumvention * TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • Is it possible to get unbound to talk to the root servers via TLS/HTTPS by now?

    I'm currently using Quad9 because they support DNS over TLS and DNS over HTTPS.

    • Dealing with games that just won't run on Linux

    Jump

  • I used to have a second partition with Windows for such cases, but over time I just stopped bothering with those games.

    Now I just refund if it doesn't work and move on in my to-play list.

    I still have a Windows VM for some applications and for doing firmware updates but I never bothered to set it up for playing games.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages is introducing big changes to combat because id Software came to one core realization: "Every projectile mattered in the original Doom"

    Jump

  • Eternal was a recipe for stress for me.

    That's the thing that made it great for me, but I liked both 2016 and Eternal for different reasons. Would be great if they can somehow satisfy both camps with the next entry.

    • Jellyfin | "We are pleased to announce the latest stable release of Jellyfin, version 10.9.0!"

    • Experiences Regarding Gaming on OLED screens?

    • Make sure you have the Vulkan layers installed: https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK_hdr_layer
    • Download the latest Proton-TKG (Wine master) from ProtonUp-QT
    • Start the game you want to launch with it at least once
    • Search for it with protontricks and take note of the APPID: protontricks -s NAME
    • Set the registry entry: protontricks -c 'wine reg.exe add HKCU\\Software\\Wine\\Drivers /v Graphics /d x11,wayland' APPID
    • Set the launch arguments in Steam to: ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 DISPLAY= %command%
    • Switch the Proton version to the Proton-TKG you just downloaded
    • Enable HDR in KDE settings and launch the game

    Some games crash on start, anti-cheat does not work and some games don't look right. So make sure to check that everything looks good once you're ingame.
