  • I am avoiding tiktok style videos like the plague but it's hard to escape youtube shorts.

    On the other thand yesterday I finished the new Down The Rabbit Hole - EVE: Online by Fredrik Knudsen - about 6hrs runtime

    Edit: escaping shorts in the sense that some of them are actually well made, informative and/or funny

  • Vencord is nice, not a 3rd party though

  • Poor o/ and o7

    I am never stopping using these.

  • And alternatively you can run just yay , choose the matching one and yay should do the right thing.

  • AVs on windows also do impact disk latency a lot.

  • Obsidian is my go to for D&D.

    They still sprinkle a bit of their own stuff into the markdown but it's generally usable outside.

  • How did I not notice the 5, I have read the specs for 4 at least twice but the 5 has it all (OLED screen, 4k+ MAh battery, 5G support, fingerprint scanner in button, 8/256G), oh yeah...

  • oh yeah I am fully aware Pixel is the best choice for all of this, but until my current phone I was always able to pay less for more (Xiaomi) and have the ROM cake too.

  • Solution in search of a problem

    In this case, it can be considered as a solution to actual problem - trackers/indexers going down, or actually a deeper problem of BitTorrent, where you need the centralized trackers/indexers to find the torrent of the content you are looking for (you can't just open qbittorrent and search for Arch Linux ISO).
    But the execution of this solution is definitely up for debate.

  • Was asking the same question when reading about the Odyssey and lbry inc stuff.

    In short it seems like decentralized indexer, so Peertube should be able to use it for searching content (I did not verify this).

    Longer answer is that classic indexers join content metadata (file name, ...) with the BitTorrent hash, this does the same thing but instead of being a single website this metadata+bt hash is stored in the distributed blockchain (so no singular entity hold this information, censor resistance etc).
    The data is still distributed thru BitTorrent so it has all the stuff of that protocol like files going dark when noone is seeding.
    E: also uploaders of the content can also set a price for getting the files but I have no idea how they handle people just sharing the torrents (hashses) outside or w/e

    My answer is that it's glorified DHT with metadata search.

    I found this when searching for some more technical stuff - https://spec.lbry.com/.

  • Thank you for the long answer. I am somewhat torn between Fairphone and Pixel.

    I don't think I will ever own iPhone - in short I do not like Apple and the whole walled garden thing, though I do agree these are best devices for long-term use especially when it comes to security updates. I am also aware Google is not much better and if I get a Pixel I am definitely flashing it with Lineage.

  • Ah, I would like to support the brand/idea but the specs are simply sub-par for the price, though it is definitely better with the replace-ability then pixels.

  • I was looking at Note 12 Pro (+) both design and HW looks good to me but xda forums for this model seem rather barren, it does seem people are trying to flash Lineage but there wasn't much else.

  • It's a systemd timer included within Arch that runs fstrim every week.
