I’m not a fan of the xfce UX at all, and multi-monitor support still has a lot of issues (under Debian 12), but I am pretty sure having different refresh rates is possible

It’s most likely watching Youtube with your VPN that’s broken then, not NewPipe. Youtube implemented Captchas for IPs that generate a lot of traffic/a lot of people are using. That’s how they are trying to kill frontends like invidious that proxy the requests. NewPipe by default uses your own IP so it doesn’t have that problem. If you use a VPN IP that a lot of others are using too, you’ll get that same problem though.

The version now called “Lawnchair Legacy” was very old and unmaintained. They’ve been working on this new version in the meantime.

If they are public, no it is not illegal. If they are not public, but I have them because I provide a service to you, then yes it is illegal (most likely). In this case it is public information, and not even personal information. It is a plane identifier and that plane’s location. The only reason that tells you anything about it’s passenger is because said passenger is rich and entitled enough to own their own plane and use it for themself. It’s like buying the Empire State Building to live there by yourself and then complaining about someone tweeting out your address.

+1 for AirMusic. I use it for my snapcast multi-room streaming setup.

It can be on your home network, but it needs to be reachable via HTTPS through the internet. So yeah, a vps is probably the best option.

I recommend a combo of Mull and Mulch or Cromite instead. Configure one of them to delete cookies and history on exit. Use URLCheck as your default browser. Then you can see the actual link when you click on one, you can remove tracking parameters, and then choose which browser to open it in.

It is. And it’s also terrible for privacy, but people do it with google as well.

Never connected my LG TV to the internet. I got an Nvidia Shield TV Pro hooked up to it. The default home screen got riddled with ads as well after I got it, but at least you can change it to a third party one and never have to see it again. Otherwise a cheap used Xbox Series S might also work, but is much bigger and arguably less flexible. And if you want a truly privacy-respecting device you might have to go with a Linux mini PC, though that’s much more involved to set up and many commercial streaming services won’t give you the full quality streams you are paying for.

Yeah… that’s why getting the driveless PS5 is a bad idea.

How short is short-term?

Great question, I’ve been looking for the same. Some of my go-tos are:

• Tetris (GB) (of course)
• Pokemon Puzzle Challenge (GBC)
• Balloon Kid (GB)
• Castlevania II (GB)
• DuckTales (GB)
• DK - King of Swing (GBA)
• Game & Watch Gallery (GB)

I have a deck and know how to play, I’d be down to try it

I see. That is a valid concern. Though it feels unfair to say that headscale is ‘made by a tailscale employee’. From what I understand, one of the main contributors of headscale was hired by tailscale, though he is not the only maintainer and does not own the repo from what I can tell. Still, Tailscale could decide to cede all support of headscale and that would likely hurt the project a lot. In the same way however nebula could decide to switch to proprietary licenses and discontinue their open source offerings.

What made you choose Nebula over Tailscale? I’m running it through a self-hosted Headscale server and it’s working well so far. I haven’t looked into Nebula too much.

Your arguments read like you believe a DRM-protected ebook file is a verbatim copy that can be freely distributed and used. I just want to clarify that it is not, not even on a technical level. The form of DRM that libraries use is not just a license you agree to. It is an ecryption that turns that ebook into a garbled mess for anyone but the person who borrowed the ebook, during a set timeframe. After that period expires it cannot be decrypted anymore and stays a garbled mess forever, irrevocably ceasing to be a copy.

I probably would have never heard of it. Now I really want to play it.

I like it

Looks like it could be a neat device, I wonder if it’ll bump up the $200 price point though. Also I was hoping for a Pocket Flip 2, but that is getting less likely at this point I guess.

Huh thanks, I guess it’s based on a misunderstanding of the word kebab then. Correctly it would have to be called şiş/shish case then, but that certainly has less of a ring to it.
