VueTorrent is a web client. I currently use the official Web UI in an isolated Chromium instance and made an automatic log in page so that I don't have to type in the password every single time I open it. I add torrents to the qBittorr

As someone that only very recently switched to qBittorrent from Transmission after using it for few years - the lack of non-Web UI remote clients.

Qobuz always shows me the following message after purchasing (downloads are DRM-free FLACs): > Certain works may be withdrawn from the service for legal reasons, such as a revocation of rights. The titles purchased will then no longer be

I was annoyed one day and was looking online around for some solutions. You can find a bit more information here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71192605/how-do-i-get-yo...

I see people are doing scripts or other things to remove shorts from their feeds, but there is a simpler solution. Take your RSS URL of a channel, e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCxSGC9B... R

On the "Space" sidebar I used to have a button list rooms outside of any "Space" and a button to list only DMs. Now I still have the button to list rooms outside of any "Space" but now instead of a DM button I

From what I found in UK banks will let 16 year olds to open an account independently. You could also mail cash (Mullvad), buy a VPN gift card in a physical store or online or get something like a prepaid Visa/Mastercard or a paysafecar

Samsung also makes sensors for phones. IIRC some Pixels use their sensors.

GPU video encoding is pretty much always optimised for real-time encoding, meaning that it can't run certain optimisations as it would increase the time to encode. Compare x264 veryfast and veryslow presets. There is a quality differen

I wouldn't even call it a fork, it's just a mirror with a commit that replaces few links in a README.

You can even go to the point store, get a url of the preview, download it from Steam servers, put it in an appropriate Steam subdirectory and set in Steam settings to be the default.

You can select "Plain SVG" instead of "Inkscape SVG" in the file saving dialogue.

Just a small note about it: it's not open-source and their excuse is… pretty poor. They don't give you modification rights at all, so you can't even legally contribute to the project. The platform support is implemented insid

On my laptop alone SponsorBlock has skipped 5225 segments, which equals to 1d 20h. That's a lot of time I would waste by watching all of these. Also, if you are fine with sponsor spots, you probably would have to also be okay with watc

It's weird for me to see IMAP with STARTTLS on 143 instead of IMAPS on 993. Not sure why anyone would do this.

Yep, just some CSS. I have not cleaned it up for release or anything, so it's a bit messy, but feel free to use it under the licence terms of cgit (GPLv2.0-only) and if you don't mind, put an attribution somewhere, like at least a

Hmm, just checked and it seems that it doesn't work when I'm connecting through some Mullvad VPN exits, but works when I disconnect. Oh well. I assume you have something like fail2ban.

You can't update the firmware at all and you are still running it. Librem 5 has very dated hardware that barely runs. It has only Cortex A53 cores @ 1.5 GHz that were released in 2012. You will see it even lag in Purism's videos.

by dawidpotocki 3y ago
Because Purism cheated and just moved the blobs into a chip that you can't update and made it go through a separate processor[1]. FSF-endorsement is meaningless. This is worse than having a loadable blob from a kernel. [1]: https:&#x2

YouTube has already implemented Premium-only quality in a form of 1080p Premium, i.e. higher bitrate 1080p. Though they don't seem to be worried that yt-dlp can download it without a subscription. Maybe they will make 2160p option Prem

Apple has always been an asshole when it comes to codec support. VP9 on Safari? Sure, on desktop. On mobile? Oh yeah, only via WebRTC(why???). Want to import FLACs into Apple Music? Nope, only inferior ALAC is supported for lossless. AV1? O

DRM. It is a pain in the ass for everyone except pirates. Tell me a show on Netflix and I will find you a torrent uploaded in highest quality on release date. If I wanted to watch the same show on my desktop via Netflix, they wouldn't

You can find USB 5Gbps in a Pixel 6a that costs 300 USD on Amazon. USB 3 is not exactly some fancy new expensive tech. You can get a breakout board for few bucks yourself and that's still going to be more than Apple would have to pay.
