  • USB-C head-to-head teardown - Lumafield

  • Nice read!

    I especially liked the part with the wiggly trace for better signal integrity. Always good to see design theory in practice.

  • Simple, dedicated Spotify or MP3 speaker/player?

  • Do you know of any obscure useful websites?

  • Sharedrop seems a bit dead. Consider pairdrop.net as an alternative.

  • Cool KDE Plasma trick: [Meta] + [v]

    Jump

  • Try this and change shortcut to Meta+V. Doesn't have the same look and feel as the KDE one (it also pastes on select, but I think this can be turned off)

  • Any good alternatives to Home Assistant?

    Jump

  • Hey, I like YAML config just as much as the next guy, but I understand the decision to go the GUI way.

    With large Home Assistant installs YAML gets really messy, and most changes require a reboot to show up (well, both issues could be fixed by the devs, but they chose otherwise). I really thought that I'd miss YAML, but so far it's working just fine for me. Migration or restoring is a bit more tricky, as I prefer the start from scratch approach instead of the restore a 10 year old backup one.

    Home Assistant's (docker install) backup is just a zip file of the config folder. This makes it easier to fix things if needed, but isn't as nice as editing YAML directly. I'd love to have option to use YAML if I want to and GUI otherwise.

    As for developers being a bunch of assholes? Well, you're right. Luckily the community is much better and much more helpful.

  • Looking for a To-do list app

  • jtxBoard, open source, syncs over caldav (works great with Zanshin) and has very active developer.

    Additional it supports Material You and has included notes and journal support. Oh, did I mention it's free?

  • Why do you use firefox?

    Jump

  • Good to know, but for now it seems like the issue solved itself. Will report later if anything changes.

  • Why do you use firefox?

    Jump

  • I don't know. If I use chrome on the same device there are no issues. You can't be certain but I think it's not DNS.

  • Sorry to hijack, but can anyone help me with my issue?

    I'm using librewolf and since about a week or two I noticed a speed issue. Overall my internet is fast, way faster then I need in fact, but websites load at a unreasonably slow speed.

    When opening anything librewolf just sits there loading for a few second (probably up to ~10) then page opens fine. Video playback works great too. What could be the issue?

  • Fed: Bro have you seen my F-35B? 👽

    Jump

  • That's good and not. The good thing is they found it, but the bad thing is that the autopilot still needs some work.

    It's not really an autopilot if it crashes after pilot ejects.

  • Monitor Alignment Alignment Chart

    Jump

  • True neutral right now, but since I'm already here, does anyone know if curved monitor is viable as a secondary display? I already have the monitor around, but since it's not rotatable I can't really try this setup for myself.

    It'd be 27' 1440p flat horizontally (main) and 24' 1080p curved vertically next to it.

  • Craziest/most "exotic" devices able to run Linux?

    Jump

  • Sorry to hijack, but does someone have a link to the talk? Article mentions it, but link no longer works.

  • Is root unsecure ? Is ACCA useful ?

    Jump

  • There are already several opinions about rooting, so I'm not entering that discussion, but I can share my view of ACC and AccA.

    I'm the kind of person, who charges the phone over the night. My device theoretically supports 33W charging (can't test this as I don't have the stock charger), but when charging over the course of several hours I don't need this speed.

    I have the current limit set to 750mA and max charge in range of 90-95%. This works fine for me and in case I need a quick top-up there's always Charge once to #%, without restrictions option.

  • USB-C

    Jump

  • I know it's not your main point, but speed does matter, at least for some users.

    It's not often, but I regularly have to move relatively large amounts of data (20-40GB) between my phone and pc, sometimes (but not always ) in small batches (~4GB) with a ~10min breaks between to check stuff.

    With this process already annoying because of MTP and the way windows file transfers work (no resume/retry over MTP, linux handles it way better) having a high speed connection make it a bit more manageable.

    It's a niche use-case, not very important, but it's something I wanted to share.

  • KDE Gear ☀️ 23.08 🏖️ has got you covered!

  • 3.25TB (2TB+1TB HDD with 256GB NVMe) locally with another 2TB mounted over the network and used as a media server. Games take up a relatively small amount of space in my setup as I try to keep them all on one 1TB drive (and it's note even full) and I'm not playing much AAA games.

    Most of my stuff in multimedia (photos, videos, uncompressed audio recordings) and backups (I had to upgrade it's drive recently as I went over the 500GB and I didn't want to store data over multiple drives)

  • GitHub is slowly rolling in 2FA. Any good open source apps that will enable me to activate 2FA token on android?

    Jump

  • I honestly don't know. I set it up with steamguard-cli few months ago and it's working like a charm.

  • Android vs IOS

  • Depends on the brand. Xiaomi will (in most cases) service the phone even if the bootloader was unlocked and os changed, you just need to restore it to stock state. I haven't personally tried this, but I heard multiple stories confirming this.
