I'd love a Kodi theme with the design and responsiveness of the Jellyfin Roku app but sadly nothing I've tried has come close. I always end up going back to the default Kodi theme - it's ugly but it works. (I'd jump to R

See CoreELEC/LibreELEC/etc - totally replaces the (potentially dodgy) Android OS on these kind of streaming boxes with a stripped down Linux+Kodi setup

It still blows my mind that no OLED TV has yet added simple temporal blending between frames, the kind of which MPV has had for decades. They could even take it a step further and emulate the colour-dependent blending of LCD screens. But no

What >100mbps content is there? 4K bluray just needs a bigger buffer to handle >100mbps spikes (Kodi for example offers this) and Moonlight/Apollo/etc is well into diminishing returns

I solved mine by chronically exposing myself to very low noise during sleep - wearing good earplugs in an already silent room. To the point where you can hear your eyeballs move etc. I guess this may be where the link to good sleep comes fr

A bug(?) exists to disable liquid ass on the Home Screen that still works in 26.3 - enable Reduce Motion globally in accessibility settings, then add a per app accessibility override for “Home Screen & App Library” with Reduce Motion of

Even with default https etc, HSTS still adds some defence against MITM - browsers won’t let you even forcibly accept a self signed certificate

I’m always surprised people pick Lua when Pawn exists. I think I’d even still choose it over MicroQuickJS https://www.compuphase.com/pawn/pawn.htm

My solution to this is a pair of udp ports relayed to each other on a VPS via socat. Then you can point a home WireGuard server (behind cgnat etc) at one, and clients at the other, with no need to trust the vps

While I do like tone controls, I'm skeptical of the argument of adjusting bass/treble based on volume, e.g. the likes of 'Dynamic EQ' in D&M receivers. It has always sounded like it is doubling up something that my b

Not a Ruby/Rails person, but from a quick look there are still APIs named exactly the same between those versions. Very nice to see On the other hand, Laravel decided to change from snake_case to CamelCase between versions 3 and 4, jus

It's on PHP 7.4, so between RHEL and CloudLinux there's another few years left in it, before I weigh up rewrite vs another round of hacking modern PHP support into Laravel 3

Still maintaining a Laravel 3 project. Barely made it 2 years before maintainability became a nightmare and the only upgrade path was complete rewrite. Projects written without an opinionated framework easily sail past 10 years of comfy mai

You can see their panic - in my country they are running TV ads for Google search, showing it answering LLM-prompt-like queries. They are desperately trying to win back that mind share, and if they lose traditional keyword search too they’r

>Full-text search is entirely client side (not via IMAP) Setting up server-side Xapian full-text search and disabling the crap client-side one in Thunderbird was one of the best improvements I made to my email usability. What makes your

It's nice to see them add an option to disable this behaviour, now if only we could get an option to include Signal messages in iOS backups...

Not sure either of those capture the nuance of bad humour… ‘bad sense of humour’ can imply not finding anything funny or taking offence to jokes. ‘Bad humour’ in this context implies bad at being humorous, e.g telling dad jokes

Lightning ports very rarely fail or get loose - it’s more robust than usb-c in that regard, which is already a high bar - it’s probably dust in the port

Turning off the firewall could just as easily be a unnoticed configuration error that causes it to die on startup

Parent poster is making the (good and underrated) point that NAT makes this logic failsafe: Turn an IPv6 firewall off and you’ve got all incoming connections allowed. Turn IPv4 NAT off and you’ve got no connectivity at all

This is missing a good justification for digging into realtime processing. For me that was to create a DIY receiver, so the equaliser/room correction needs to happen quickly and consistently to maintain lip sync. I'm not sure it&#

Realtek RTL8156 (USB 2.5G ethernet) is fast and rock solid, even for server use cases. I’d take it over an i225 any day

Thanks, I keep all monitors (laptop or not) at arms length for work/reading, but for gaming or other immersive activities a 13in screen needs to be closer to match the experience of a full size monitor
