I use the nextcloud gpodder integration myself with antennapod (phone) + kasts (desktop) and it mostly works well with subscription sync and timestamp sync. It'll occasionally forget that I've listened to an episode on desktop but I guess that's just growing pains.
I've been keeping an eye on podfetch as a potential nextcloud-gpodder replacement but it's not just there yet for me.
As for finding an alternative to the sync server, my only suggestion is to find a free/paid option at https://github.com/nextcloud/providers#providers that'll let you install the gpodder nextcloud app or use the oracle free tier to host something light like podfetch.
Great video Juan. Your last point about lazy reviewers is why you're the only phone reviewer (he does way more than review phones people) in my subscriptions. And as far as android content goes, it's only Android Faithful & In Depth Tech Reviews. It's frustrating seeing reviewers increasingly go the pay to play route and often not even disclosing the fact their "review" is really just a commercial.
I was hoping to see more recommendations in the comments but I'm sure that'll come in time.
Did a search for ubuntu "integrity: problem loading x.509 certificate" and the first result indicates out of date bios certificates needed for secure boot on older laptops. Disabling secure boot seems to be the suggested fix.
I've been trying harder to diversify my youtube content. Please share links to visible minority (from a western pov) creators who post similar content. Why are there so few?
Is 60W a lot? I think a system with a few mechanical hard drives and fans will be at least half of that regardless of the processor used. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I think I've run into this bug a couple of times. For some reason, the grid can become unaligned and I'd have to restart the launcher from the advanced options to fix it. I wish development was faster but that's how open source goes sometimes.
I'm glad OP's linux gaming experience is so much better than it is on windows. I don't say this to cast aspersions but if the results were reliable and repeatable, people like christitus, gardiner and many others would make daily videos on the topic just to get all the views(dollars) it would surely generate. It would cause a seismic shift in the PC gaming space.
It's doesn't have anywhere near the same feature set or polish but I think neolauncher probably comes the closest to replacing nova as far as open source solutions go.
In the absence of a gamersnexus video or phoronix article, I'm going to take this with a large grain of salt. Especially when a video like this one is showing much higher performance in windows. The different cpu shouldn't account for much of a difference when playing at higher resolutions and the benchmarks shows the game being gpu limited.
Wouldn't getting something like a Kobo and syncing with Calibre be a much easier/cheaper option?
