I can’t remember if I have Wayland on my Debian installation with XFCE. I installed it several months ago, so I will check.

I was surprised, in a bad way, at how difficult it is to get any VNC running. I tried Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and base Debian, but couldn’t get any VNC working. The closest I got was with Debian, but it gave me a different desktop than what was coming out the video port to my monitor. I’d be interested in hearing if anyone has had better luck with anything.

It’s not a big deal - I was just wondering. I will keep watching your repo. Thanks.

Thanks! Would you happen to know how to install with pipx? I don’t fully understand Python venv stuff, but I followed instructions on how to install yt-dlp using pipx. I’m not clear on whether I could do that with your app.

I didn’t see anything like this image in the pytube-fix repo. Do you have a repo of the web interface somewhere? That looks really handy.

I’ve never heard of AtlasOS until this comment. I read the documentation and it’s interesting that they need you to install it using a fresh Windows ISO. I wonder what they are doing that can’t be accomplished on an existing Windows installation with a bunch of Powershell scripts?

Is there a way to sync 2FAS between devices and browsers? I tried using it but couldn’t get things to sync. I often have instances where I don’t have access to my phone, so I need something browser based.

TOTP isn’t offered by most of my financial sites, or Apple. It’s annoying.

If people start choosing their flights based on aircraft type, it seems like the airline could just list all flights as the “good” aircraft and then automatically change it to the “bad” aircraft close to the departure date.

I wouldn’t call it “harvesting” if you have operate power transmitters on each floor of the house. “Energy harvesting” usually means you are using something that is already present in the environment.

“each floor would have one or two RF (radio frequency) power transmitters to powe r up all switches inside the house.”

The article says they are powering it using dedicated transmitters:

“each floor would have one or two RF (radio frequency) power transmitters to power up all switches inside the house.”

It’s confusing because earlier they talk about energy harvesting, which implies “free”. But then they talk about how you will need to run these transmitters, which certainly isn’t free.

Beeper has been working in this space for awhile - there’s no way they would publish an app with a copyright violation. I assume they have a workaround for that aspect.

It looks like Beeper has purchased the software from the person who developed this, but his GitHub repo for it is still up.

He has also created a way to permanently side load apps on iPhone without jailbreaking. I imagine Apple will be working on both of these “problems”.

Interesting. I just checked and found the information. It sounds like they want to rebuild the whole app and just add one service at a time. They are starting with just iMessage.

Edit: I wonder how long this will last. They aren’t using a Mac to log you into your iCloud account with this. They have found a workaround.

“This is now possible because the iMessage protocol and encryption have been reverse engineered by jjtech, a security researcher.”

Edit 2: I’m really curious about this. The researcher has some Python that can run anywhere and let you send iMessages. It seems like something the Apple would shutdown, but, on the other hand, I wouldn’t expect Beeper to introduce an app that might get disabled.

I’m confused about this article because I have Beeper, but they make this statement:

“Beeper Mini is a new app from the folks behind Beeper, a unified chatting and inbox app that brings together the best chat apps under one roof.”

I haven’t heard about a mini version.

Just based on the wide variety of comments in that Reddit post, it sounds like there are many things that can prevent this from working. I don’t know all the details of what can go wrong, but it might depend on Android version or any customizations that various manufacturers may have implemented in their Android device.

There probably isn’t a single solution to getting this to work, and your problem could possibly be different than my problem.

If you figure it out, let me know. I would love to do this. I have app installed on my tablet and have the smb information entered, but it doesn’t show up as Android storage like they describe.

If I were to use this, would I use a Spotify login/password with it? I’m not clear if this app allows you to save playlists and favorites, etc.

I was actually trying to describe having the server folder mounted directly on the Android device, so the download would go straight to the server and never touch your device storage. This would be separate from using Xplore, which doesn’t do what I’m thinking of. I tried mounting my NAS as smb using the app in the the below explanation, but it wasn’t working.

I don’t think you will be able to get anything to download to another device using any of these services. I use Unchained to get things saved to my RD area, then I run a script on my NAS to download to it (the NAS). You could maybe get something to work if you were able to mount a network drive onto your phone. Then maybe you could get the phone to download to that mounted drive, instead of to the phone’s internal storage. I can access files on network devices from my Android phone and tablet using an app like Xplore, but I’ve never tried to see if I could have Android mount a network drive, so I am just speculating.
