Thanks for mentioning running costs, I was curious about that. How much more do you think the NUC is costing you compared to a Pi?

Finally someone mentions a product name. I am so sick of these “uh duuuh, there are better alternatives out there, hurhur” commenters who name not a single one.

I’ve been using it as my main keyboard for a while now. It does work well enough, but yes, lacks some features and I am also concerned why its not updated anymore.

Someone just posted that background and both your posts ended up close to each other in my feed. https://toad.work/post/1039482

Yeah, I still have it working with the workaround of compiling it with my own API key, but decided not to update this any more. When it stops working like that I am out, not that I actually use it that much anymore.

Heh… hardened

Looks interesting, is the android app available any other way than the playstore? On the github page I can only see files for windows and linux, maybe I am missing something obvious here.

Well, its maybe not very safe since the app saves your login details. In my case I don’t care since my server is not accessible online, just in our home intranet. But it is super useful if you have some commands you repeatedly run. I’ve been wanting to setup a script to run my backup process fully automated so I could just start it via the app, haven’t had time to do that yet.

Similar, I have a raspberry pi running nextcloud for storage and jellyfin as a mediaserver and I do a lot via phone too. Actually a lot of times I use an app called Raspi check which can send command line inputs that you can save and just tap to send them immediately. Like rebooting for example.

Try Seal. Its a standalone app for downloading with yt-dlp.

Last I tried, 1-2 months ago, voice navigation was not working properly for me, somehow very rudimentary output like just saying “next left” or something.

Also since I don’t have a phone holder I don’t look at the screen while driving in the car, so I turn of the screen and Organic Maps does not give any voice output anymore then.

Osmand+ works better in both cases.

Block meme communities.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is absolutely amazing if you are into roguelikes.

There’s dozens of us! I started using it while I wrote my thesis, running a backup like every hour while writing.

I almost never see rdiff-backup in such threads, so I am bringing it up now. Somehow I really like how it works and provides incremental backup with folder structures and file access still accessible directly. Works well enough for me.

Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!

Good but probably too late. Maybe it will slow things down a bit.

That’s weird. When I look up Libretube I can find it in my f-droid app. Says it needs Android 5.0 or higher, maybe your version is too old so you cannot see it?

Yeah I had to lookup what I posted on reddit a while ago since I forgot the details.

So the problem was not fdroid, fdroid did not have the app at all. The problem was the izzyonfdroid repo which did not have the 64bit version and was not planning to.

Which in the end just leads me to using obtainium to get updates for this particular app. There were a couple like that. I can see them greyed out in droid-ify when scrolling, showing me I cannot install them, no version compatible with my device.

Same, since I got my pixel 7 which seems 64bit app only (unless I missunderstood something) I occasionally run into a problem that f-droid somehow does not supply a 64bit apk. Then I just use obtainium instead.

Also use obtainium for Techmino, because its awesome tetris!
