debrid is basically “cloud torrenting”, a server torrents the files and you download them from there. extremely useful if you live in a jurisdiction where p2p filesharing is illegal.
stremio is a netflix-like video player app, torrentio an addon that let’s you crawl torrent sites and stream stuff via debrid.
my go-to setup is
chromecast with googletv 4k
alldebrid membership (€3 a month)
stremio app + torrentio addon
as someone who has played around with offline speech recognition before - there is a reason why ai assistants only use it for the wake word, and the rest is processed in the cloud: it sucks. it’s quite unreliable, you’d have to pronounce things exactly as expected. so you need to “train” it for different accents and ways to pronounce something if you want to capture it properly, so the info they could siphon this way is imho limited to a couple thousand words. which is considerable already, and would allow for proper profiling, but couldn’t capture your interest in something more specific like a mazda 323f.
but offline speech recognition also requires a fair amount of compute power. at least on our phones, it would inevitably drain the battery
another strong “yes” from me. my wired headset has much better speech quality than bluetooth ones. i didn’t upgrade my phone since the new Pixels dropped the headphone jack, instead i fixed the screen and battery and keep it another couple of years
search for “linux fix bad bit”, from my experience with raspberry pis i think this happens if you don’t power off the device properly. if this happens more often, it’s usually a sign that the hdd is damaged and will give in soon
yes it looks like a con that’s common on twitter - “omg if my boyfriend would get me this for Christmas, i’d marry him” and then a link to an overpriced item on etsy or similar, that you can get off aliexpress or even amazon for cheap.
same here, found the exact same product on aliexpress for half the price
pi hole is nice, glad you’re happy with it :)
NextDNS allows you to configure a lot of different blocklist, including the adguard one. other than that it works just the same. but i agree, for ease of use adguard dns might be just enough
NextDNS works wonders on my phone, system-wide
the server can store metadata though. who you’re texting, when, how often, etc. - and store that indefinitely. or even store the encrypted message, and when a flaw in the encryption is discovered 10 years later, they’re all readable. their servers could be breached and that info could be siphoned by criminals selling it to the highest bidder.
signals blog had an interesting post about what they’re doing to prevent these issues
you don’t say!
Zachary did quite alright, considering the shoes he had to fill
just install another launcher?
Hue Essentials does the trick on Android
if you actually use the metric system, millimeter would become that “singular name” you memorize for a certain length. but you could also tell from the name alone what’s it about roughly, squajibbles on the other hand…
i’ve brought it up with different engineers, everyone said it’s basically impossible, it is just too strong
i’ve found Usenet to be cumbersome at times, Debrid it is for me
Chromecast with googletv 4k + stremio + torrentio plugin + debrid subscription
hands down the best experience if you don’t want to meddle with plex and just watch things netflix-style.
i went to Rome recently, and one might argue that Italy has the best coffee in the world. the queue at Starbucks went out of and around the building.
