This is a cool new app that I use to supplement OSM with address metadata that Google has without installing Google Maps: https://sr.ht/~amolith/adresilo/

Shop has been purposefully making their app worse to use as a package tracker while filling it with ads and making it the slowest, most bloated app I have the misfortune of using. Nothing about it is “great”.

I have a similar display in my kitchen. It’s in portrait mode and has time (my timezone and others), weather (hourly and daily), and dynamic popups for weather alerts in the top 1/3. It has a spot for dynamic content below that that shows things like time remaining for my espresso machine to heat up and the temperature of my ember mug if I’m using it. The bottom half of the screen flips every 15 seconds between calenders for my partner and I, and local scheduled transit times and live train times with a map of current train positions.

I have scripts set up to switch between my desk setup and my home theater setup that swap monitor configurations with wlrandr and default audio devices in wireplumber. These scripts are triggered with the “Netflix” button on my Nvidia Shield remote via Home Assistant and SSH. Simultaneously on Home Assistant power to the peripherals on my desk is toggled, the TV input is toggled between the Nvidia Shield and the PC, my AV receiver settings are toggled, and if the PC was asleep, it’s turned on with a WoL magic packet.

As others have said, invidious is not dead, and they’re working on factoring out the part that interfaces with YouTube itself, so that updates to react to changes in YouTube will be able to be implemented much faster.

If you like ansible, MASH works pretty well.

Currently someone has a an unofficial build. As far as I can tell, there are no plans to implement this or something similar upstream. https://github.com/supechicken/waydroid-androidtv-build

bc there are a lot of android tv apps that are fantastic that don’t have ready alternatives on Linux for htpc usage. Clipious comes to mind, for instance. Having android tv apps available through Waydroid bridges the gap in functionality until native alternatives can replace them.

I’m so excited for this to officially release. As soon as plasma bigscreen is ready and waydroid has an android tv build, I’ll probably replace my nvidia shield.

similar to ImageMagick, jpegtran is great for lossless jpeg transformations. You can even extend jpegs using the “crop” function, which can be very useful for batch-processing images, even though it’s hardcoded to middle grey.

similarly, for me:

my desktop was a bit buggy when I was doing bleeding-edge wayland/nvidia stuff on Arch. I switched to an AMD GPU, and haven’t had issues since. I’ve since distro-hopped to Nobara, then Bazzite, then NixOS, all with no issues.

My Framework 13 laptop was good on Manjaro with no bugs and now is good on NixOS.

My 2013 Macbook Air is also bug-free on NixOS.

I looked into doing this a bit ago. For me, the current solutions just aren’t good enough. Once Plasma Bigscreen and Waydroid Android TV are ready, then I think I’ll take the plunge. For now, my Nvidia Shield 2019 is hard to beat.

Ooo looks nice. This might make me want to try CLI mail again. I tried neomutt a long time ago and just couldn’t get it working right, but this looks a lot easier.

The choice to use “AI” was deliberate. That’s malicious enough.

Oh man, I know what I’m reading tonight.

Haha thanks. It’s definitely a lot. It’s really sad that this kind of thing is what is necessary for smooth interoperability.

When I was using Windows, I used Adobe Lightroom with the Negative Lab Pro plugin to digitize my film negatives. I’ve played around with Darktable, and it does the job, but it’s a lot more fiddly, and it discourages me from processing film.

A Verizon rep told me the other day that their cellular home internet is just as good as my symmetric gigabit fiber service. Fuck these companies.
