If you had real shitty internet back in the day (read 56k modem) and you liked to play russian roulette you would dump satellite traffic with a skystar2 DVB-S card. You never knew what you’d get realistically, found some true gems underneath mountains of coal in the day of (still) unfiltered internet.
I just switched to Bazzite yesterday and it’s insane how far linux has come. Next-next and everything works, even on a nightmare combination of hardware (Lenovo Legion half assed uefi, amd apu+ nvidia gpu).
To be frank I have used it since it started way back and it continues to have the best user experience among messengers. I myself don’t use it for any crucial information but as a messenger with it’s featureset it’s second to none. When a better alternative pops up which will have a better UI and such an extensive featureset I will probably switch over
Shout out for Smart Tube, the best YT app on smart boxes/android TVs, never had any issues
Care to ELI5 for us casuals who did not catch and are missing the obvious?
Maybe yt-dlp might be for the job?
Just a few days ago I downloaded some videos from Vimeo without issues which required sign in to even view
Ubisoft won’t own my money too!
Right off the bat it sit right, thank you
In the same boat, I miss it still, other ones have a worse UI for me and hate the ad slots in the app although I have DNS ad blocking but its still annoying. Do update me if you find a good replacement as we’re looking for the same thing
I’m (still) using the regular Keepass but that is indeed a nice feature, might consider switching to it for TOTP. Thank you!
Damn, didn’t occur to me at all, I do use MicroG, but that still doesn’t explain late notifications on the iPhone. This is going on for quite some time, friends also report the same issues regardless of plaform
I’ve noticed notifications are working sporadically now for quite some time (at least half a year now) for both Android (both Play store version and APK) and iOS from my experience. Only on the deskptop version of it are notifications instant, hope they will fix it at some point
I’a bit lazy so I just use precompiled apk’s from some good soul from the internet and avoid the hassle alltogether. I roll with a release until something breaks, whick can go for quite some time and then manually just install the new build, works flawlessly. Here’s the source I use
Just a few days ago I pulled an old Sony’s NWZ player as they still have superior audio quality compared to phones. I had to throw it away after 10+ years as the battery died.
This one's hilarious, but that one's not gonna work for long as they will axe almost all non-government approved VPNs
Thank you very much for this, finally managed to disable and rebind some remote buttons for apps that Ive already nuked off the TV. Works great with some workarounds.
I similarly made two functions depending on the use case (see comments in code) and saved them in Powershell’s default profile (Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1) so I can invoke them with just one word directly in commandline, works great 👌

Yep, used Skygrabber, you could filter out files depending on extensions, filenames etc and could narrow out what you wanted. Still had no real way of knowing what you’d end up with as you were effectively just passively listening on the satellite traffic. It was wild as you could fill out a 40 gig drive overnight without issues in the era where people were downloading a MP3 album for hours.
