I find it even more puzzling as surely it has to be a decent increase in server demand to constantly be streaming video. How can that be worth it??

+1 on OnlyOffice, it has 1:1 formatting compatibility with Microsoft Office. Unlike LibreOffice, it doesn’t have to translate documents between odt and docx in the background.
In the same vein, OnlyOffice has poor compatibility with odt files etc.
That’s incorrect, Graphene OS has Android Auto support.
I was very disappointed with the (default) Camera after switching to Graphene, luckily you can just download the Pixel Camera (including all the Pixel optimizations) from Play Store on Graphene OS or download it as an APK bundle from some other sites (downloading the normal APK won’t work, it has to be the bundle).
Yesss fcast looks incredibly promising. Sadly the only app implementing it seems to be GrayJay, I really hope it will catch on more.
Not OP, but this instantly made me think of the worst-case scenario PDFs I stumbled upon on Lemmy recently.
TVHeadend is the way, I’ve been running it with a USB satellite tuner for 5+ years. Setting it up can be a little confusing, but once it’s running you pretty much never have to touch it again.
As for clients, there’s a Jellyfin plugin, however it seems to not work for me right now.
My client of choice is Kodi with the TVHeadend plugin, and that works great. If you still want Jellyfin integration, you could just add your recordings folder as a library in Jellyfin.
Could I purchase two different brand drives and use them with btrfs?
I don’t quite remember the source for this, but I believe I read some time ago that it’s actually a good thing to have separate drives. The reasoning is, if you buy two identical drives (at the same time), the likelyhood of both drives failing around the same time is severely higher.
This is then amplified by the fact that rebuilding a RAID puts a lot of strain on the non-dead drive, so if ie. drive 1 dies and drive 2 is about to die, the strain you put on drive 2 in order to rebuild your RAID onto drive 3 might kill drive 2 before you even finish rebuilding your RAID.
Again, this is just from my memory, it might be worth doing some more research on.
The reason Signal does this is that they consider your deivce storage ‘unsafe’, as it can be more easily accessible by other apps. AFAIK not providing the option to let you do it anyway is purely because the Signal devs don’t want to.
Threema for example has an option to save all received media to normal storage, similar to WhatsApp.
Public transport in Magic Earth mostly works for me. It’s not as good as Google Maps, but it’s better than nothing.
Nope, you’re doing everything right. Unfortunately it seems like that station actually just isn’t available in whatever catalog Transistor uses.
We always freeze all our bread, we don’t eat it fast enough for it to not go bad (is this a weird take??).
But yeah thawing bread in the microwave is roughhhh, we either use a toaster or just let it thaw at room temperature.
It seems to also have american stations, I’d recommend you still give it a try.
I was never in a situation where I had to choose which fliphone to buy, but most don’t have a normal headphone jack, with a decent number of them also using a fully proprietary headphone port. So I guess I’d look out for it having a normal USB connection and ideally a fullsize headphone jack, or at least one of those smaller diameter jacks.
I don’t know its source for stations, but Transistor has direkt links for many German radio stations and probably other regions too.
I still vastly prefer FM, DAB or Satellite radio, but when those aren’t available Transistor is a nice alternative.
I believe Blurays are still a very good medium for long term data storage, like a cold offsite backup.
Same! I’m lowkey tempted to get a fancy one now, but deep down I know it just isn’t worth it.
If your hate only goes towards touchscreens and not having physical buttons, Mazda is (or at least was) very anti-touchscreen. I haven’t done any research on their current stance or if they have good EVs, but a neighbor of mine was really happy with his Mazda ICE car for having a button for everything.
It’s not a full car or even entertainment system, but comma.ai is an opensource autonomous driving software. Last time I looked into this was a few years ago, but basically for most newer cars you can rip out the adaptive cruise control, and effevtively replace it with autonomous driving. Either powered by certain supported phones or dedicated hardware.
If the main battery isn’t “meant to be replaced”, it will often act as the CMOS battery (e.g. MacBooks have been doing this since roughly 2008).
