Freetube is the best way to watch YouTube in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (5 children)

Grayjay and Freetube are both fine but different.

For some reason, Freetube currently works well, Grayjay needs iOS fallback and barely works.

Grayjay follows the bigger, already implemented idea of combining multiple platforms. This is a great UX and smooth fallback when Youtube blocks again, or permanently.

Accounts can link multiple platforms, so switching is easier.

It also allows commenting, livechat, on the platforms and has on the polycentric protocol, connecting all others.

Also, it has Sponsorblock integration.

On a mutable distro this should work. Good point!

Did you follow the official distrobox guide? With a rootful box, creating a session entry etc?

Badass. Biggest issue is the lack of Plasma 6

Why wont you get caught torrenting then? If this hasnt got anything to do with encryption 😉

It is safe if you use DNSSEC and TLS-only connections.

Otherwise, your ISP could still see that traffic. When using custom DNS, that server could see it.

A danger would only occur when an adversary would host a honeypot site, which is likely illegal.

Was really interesting to understand why Torrenting is so easy to discover.

I2P for everyone then?

I'm new to using things like qbittorrent, and I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if the magnet link I used is missing required files. in c/[email protected]

Update your browser I guess

Maybe they are talking about Edge Webview

Use christitus winutil. It had a 3rd party script integrated that is able to remove edge. Afterwards, reinstall edge webview, otherwise a bunch of stuff is broken.

Webviews are really cool, better than Electron garbage for sure, but they tie you to the OS. at least on windows I guess you could build a hardened chromium as webview, but never heard of anyone doing that

Yes but that is accessible via balooctl or from the gui.

balooctl disable

I had very bad experiences too, without using network shares or anything. It shouldnt even scan the system, or hidden files. Maybe it scanned random libraries or distrobox containers or flatpak dependencies or whatever

That is certainly true

I mean it is likely also safer as it is encrypted?

Using a VPN service and installing qBittorrent is pretty easy though

AMD takes down NVIDIA-CUDA replacement for Intel GPUs. What? (www.youtube.com)
 

The developer wants to continue the project from the codebase before they used the AMD ROCM code.

Previously, it allowed to run CUDA apps on Intel GPUs (integrated I think) and beat OpenCL in performance.

Questionable if this is only about movies, and not about any Bittorrent traffic.

Linux on X Elite laptops (early development) (www.youtube.com)
 

He has an ASUS laptops, one of the only ones you can get, got Arch on there.

The devices are not even shipped for the most part, people are booting Windows, using the ACPI dump to build the device trees.

Then those need to be upstreamed into the kernel, drivers need to be written.

Its not Asahi Linux, but still hard.

But there is progress, quite fast!

🦊 Firefox Breeze Dark Theme (addons.mozilla.org)
 

I have no idea why Mozilla doesnt show this theme.

I use Breeze Dark, as I am a simple guy :)

But the "Breeze Dark" Theme on AMO (firefox insider name for addons.mozilla.org :D) is just wrong?

So I created my own one, with the Addon "Firefox Color" and the Plasma Color-Picker.

Picture of my Desktop

Enjoy!

Modern OpenWRT router recommendations (EU, Germany)? (slrpnk.net)
 

Hey, I am looking for a router to use as a mesh device behind a Fritzbox.

In the future I may use it as the main device.

I am looking for something good, open, Wifi 6 or higher, with good support.

Libreoffice released an Android version! (www.libreoffice.org)

Edit: the app seems to be pretty old, I like the Writer editing more (it works) but for other things, CollaboraOffice is way better.

Has anyone tried that on a tablet? The phone UI has like no features

Currently it is a "viewer" (renderer with usable UI) and editing features are experimental.

They only release their APK to Google Play for whatever reason, but you can use F-Droid to get it

Bugs can normally be reported to their bugtracker and you can join their forum for more community support!

Youtube Demo Video

Downside: the editing features are VERY rudimentary, while the app is only about 50MB (⅕) smaller than Collabora-Office, which has better features overall.

Hallo Leute! Ich habe meine ADHS diagnose bekommen, und darf mich jetzt wirklich als ADHSler bezeichnen.

Ich hätte Lust auf eine Austauschgruppe zu etlichen Dingen wie Medikamenten, Erfahrungen, Apps, Strategien etc.

Um etwas Datenschutz zu garantieren, würde ich sagen alle interessierten schreiben mir eine private Nachricht, mit einem lustigen Spruch und ihrem Wunsch für die Gruppe.

(Bot-Abwehr ist nervig...)
