MicroG requires signature spoofing, which Graphene deliberately does not support. It is more secure to run the real Play services in a sandbox that forces it to be a userland app than to run MicroG as a privileged system app with spoofing.

Blu-rays are compressed. “Zipping a zip file” doesn’t apply here because zips are lossless. Video encoding is almost entirely lossy, and there’s a lot of tradeoffs to be made between file size and quality. The whole point of the more efficient codecs is to minimize the quality tradeoff. There’s also a bunch of parameters to tune the resulting bitrate which is the #1 factor in deciding the final filesize.

That being said, I’ll agree that the least quality loss will come from using a Blu-ray remux since those are very high quality.

There’s also an indev branch of Lidarr with real plugin support. I’ve been using it and https://github.com/allquiet-hub/Lidarr.Plugin.Slskd and it’s working well, although it doesn’t automatically search so it still requires some intervention. Does Soularr?

This is still fully possible on Immutable distros (which is why the name is misleading, but unfortunately is what stuck- “image-based” is a better description) and uBlue has a mechanism for it- since they’re delivered using OCI containers, it’s trivial to fork or derive from the project and add, remove or tweak whatever you need. There’s also BlueBuild which is YAML but that’s a third party project.

For what it’s worth, that bit about Patreon isn’t true. There were fixed builds before release, but they were third party ones unaffiliated with the Yuzu devs.

Wasn’t aware they were integrating docker-compose, that’s the perfect solution. I got so fed up with TrueCharts that I’ve been considering nuking my NAS and reinstalling OMV or something similar, but I guess I’ll wait it out and see what happens.

Seconding this. TrueCharts has been an absolute pain and I would not wish it on my worst enemy.

Many artists I like were signed with a now defunct record label called Tympanik Audio. Whoever got the rights to the name after the label went under stopped paying their Spotify license fees, and a large chunk of my Spotify library vanished overnight. While the albums still exist on Bandcamp, the money probably gets thrown into the void now.

Never again. The only way I can ensure my music is accessible tomorrow is to have my own copy. I buy on Bandcamp where I can, or will buy physical and rip it if I really like the album. Everything else gets ripped from Deezer automatically because there’s no guarantee anything on those platforms will always be there.

There’s already a similar project for Minecraft- https://mcpelauncher.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Just the kernel module, which still interacts with the proprietary driver.

That app just looks like reskinned KDE Connect.

That’s a user from Mastodon. Lemmy is part of the fediverse so any ActivityPub capable server can see Lemmy posts (it just might be formatted a bit differently). From their end they’re replying to a toot.

A microscope is explicitly required IMO. I would definitely not attempt the mod without one.

Yes, newer switches need a modchip. They’re dirt cheap these days but require microsoldering- not for the faint of heart, ESPECIALLY for the Lite and OLED switches.

Look into MakeMKV. It’s “free” while in beta (in practice you need to input a new license key from their forums occasionally, so inconvenient unless you buy a real license) and can rip Blu-Rays with no issue. For ripping 4K, though, you’ll need a drive that supports LibreDrive which bypasses all of the drive’s built-in DRM. I personally use an LG BU40N in a Vantec external enclosure.

I think there’s still value in it from being a DE-agnostic GUI solution, for what it’s worth.

Isn’t Endless immutable?

I can agree with this, my Darter has horrendous battery life and had a ton of bugs that made the thing really annoying to use until a recent BIOS update. I can’t help but feel like I got burned.

Next laptop is a Framework for sure.
