Looks great, but I get a lot of SSL errors without real tine downloading and one every 5 or so songs with it.

It'll take a week or two to download 3000 songs, but running it periodically after that should be fine.

Sounds like a good idea. Zotify keeps throwing meter-long stacktraces at me about SSL errors that I assume are API rate limits because there's less of them when I use real-time downloading.

Maybe it's even a nice project for an android app because zotify doesn't run there yet.

I'd expect a developer to understand that. A stack trace works the exact same way.

I use bluetooth headphones, 300kbps is enough.

Does CGNAT protect from ISP letters?

Because for all the pain it causes me, it should at least be useful for something

Automatic updates that need reboots but run at any time other than when shutting down?

Sounds like something microsoft would do, but even they get that part right.

LTS does have a place on the desktop: Learning how to daily drive linux. I started with kubuntu non-LTS and didn't know you needed to manually start a full-upgrade to not get moved to backport repos. Of course that came crashing down on me at the worst time and I took a break from linux. But I did learn enough that I can use arch now and it's been great.

Same here. Ubuntu almost made me believe that linux is a pain in the ass to use and you need to fix some shit after every update.

Now I use arch and it's great. Nvidia is very annoying because they constantly publish drivers that break things, but you can just roll those back and wait until they fix it again. And that gets worse as GPUs age. Apart from nvidia, I've had exactly one update issue (telepathy-kde being removed and causing the pacman dependency resolver to get confused) that was fixed in about 2 minutes of googling.

But what browser do we use then?

Shuffle uses a limited list that rarely gets updated, but not just the 100 most recent ones. You can force it refresh by turning off shuffle and force closing the app.

Yes and that's why you stick to popular FOSS stuff.

Last time I checked, the secret chats had some severe downsides that make them unusable as normal chats.

And if you want to bring open-source to the conversation: Signal is AGPL licensed, both the apps and backend. Not that it matters because of the E2E encryption.

Telegram doesn't have proper E2E encryption, so why are you using it for text messages at all? Asking this in privacy seems a bit weird to me.

1% lows below 30 is what I call unplayable. Consistent 30 is my absolute minimum.

In fact, 1% lows below 30 would disqualify almost any other game from even being rated playable by valve. But having cyberpunk run on the steam deck when it doesn't run on a PS4 is a good sales pitch, so it's clear why they verified it.

I wonder how different the list would look if it wasn't verified.

60TB is a lot. My library almost fits on a 4TB drive, but I don't play modern COD or Battlefield. All the huge AAA games nowadays are huge in storage cost as well, so it's probably be possible to fill it all up.

Edit: Fixed 4GB typo

I don't get why cyberpunk is consistently that high on the list. It barely runs playably on the deck.

The people who make a /s like this necessary should be banned from the internet for a month at a time.

“The problem? It’s not clear he’s a hypocrite. If he’s not a bigot, why is he being outed?”

Because every issue has exactly two sides nowadays. And this guy uses twitter, so he should have noticed that by now.

I have DSlite on my home internet connection, which makes DDNS pretty much impossible. OP should check for that.

DDNS is only required for when you want to share it with other people. For accessing your own stuff from anywhere, there's tailscale. I set aside 30 minutes to read into it and set it up, but found myself with a working VPN between my phone and PC after just 3 minutes. And it's completely free for this use case.
