off-topic, weiss jemand was fuer einen akzent miro dietrich hat (z.b. 00:16:30)? muss mich ziemlich anstrengen sonst verstehe ich kein wort; hab keine probleme mit allen anderen sprechern im video.

sorry for my german, haven’t spoken it in decades.

yt-dlp works for folks outside of the designated countries…

never once succeeded in any meaningful way that I’m confident I can lose the thing and restore it on another device.

I do a full backup. transfer the backup file to the other phone. initiate restore - errors, incomplete data, apps are never to rarely transferred, a total mess. phones aren’t the same but are similar (SDM845) and the same LOS 22.2 with microG and magisk.

can you expand on the backup and possibly restore that worked for you? no solution I tried on a rooted lineageos worked, tried phone to similar phone and restore to same phone after wipe. tried adb, seedvault, neobackup, a couple others (anything with backup on fdroid) none worked remotely acceptable.

have the data drive (movies, backups, etc) get decrypted with a keyfile from the system SSD. you’re safe to lose, throw away, sell your data drive and don’t have to bother with shredding the data. this takes hours for drives of any significant size.

consider switching to btrfs which has subvolumes (think partitions as folders, no need to predefine their size) and you’ll never have to deal with this again. also compression and deduping (all those duplicate games dlls and whatnot take up space only once)

used in on my PS4, was hoping I can make it a dedicated TV media player. had to give up, too slow, issues with playback, subtitles, UI, etc.

flawed premise, spurious observations, bullshit conclusions. that crap has waaay too much real-world exposure, and sunken cost fallacy won’t let it wither into oblivion.

like, you can’t make someone who bought a $20 rice cooker concede it’s a bullshit appliance, let alone swaths of morons that sank billions of real world money into it.

thanks, very much appreciated, lots of stuff to look up. don’t got nobody who knows stuff, so Imma take it one step at a time, on my own. unlike most of y’all, never had any inclinations towards playing music, pretty sure there’s zero talent in that regard and since like 90% of all guitar purchases get abandoned in the first month, not gonna commit with buying stuff and luthiers and friends.

if that’s an inside joke, I’m on the outside… care to explain?

I think this is the winner, slim chances I got some exotic japanese rarity for pocket change.

thanks, lotsa stuff to unpack.

figured out guitarix on my own and installed it. played with the controls a bit, hella lag and tons of noise, I imagine there’s some stuff to tweak there, will look for some simple tutorials to get me started. maybe convert some old tape player into a headphones amp as buying stuff isn’t in the cards right now.

don’t got a mono plug atm so I made do with a stereo adapter and then enabling just one channel in guitarix as input. the lag could be due to my 16 year old CPU being too slow, but it is what it is.

only on downloads? so the issue is the downloading app, what browser are you using?

what’s this other slot thing, can you explain it a bit? I’ve seen the option but never used it.

I do it the stupid way, rarely update LOS precisely because I have to reinstall magisk again.

How can you be this illiterate?!

take a look at macast, you can send it videos from e.g. your phone (youtube, jellyfin, .mp4/mkv, etc) and it uses mpv under the hood and plays it full screen. I imagine that’s what chromecast does (?) but have no experience with it as I wouldn’t let the stinky fucker on my LAN.

I have it running for one client (as opposed to double-digits of prosody/XMPP and synapse/Matrix) and for their very limited use case, it works. I haven’t attempted converting anyone else over there and I think there are two main concerns for wider adoption.

uno, I happen to know a bit about the infra it’s running on, basically a dovecot/postfix/postgresql stack for the majority of cases. that thing, although battle tested and widely documented and supported, isn’t without its quirks for the intended use as an instant messenger. there are issues with long-running those services and amateur-hosting those things is a challenge. e.g. each “message” you send is essentially a separate e-mail, and so is the reply, and so on (completely obscured for the enduser). so, in 15 minutes of “chatting”, you’re creating entries in a mailbox that would take months to fill.

dos, the client apps have bad UX and are downright spartan compared to the eye-candy-rich counterparts like Telegram or iMessage, thus hampering adoption from unmotivated users; the users had to be forced (as cajoling didn’t work) to use the thing for its intended purpose and not take their correspondence to accustomed message platforms.

so, both those things can be worked around but I’d caution anyone to not jump headfirst without testing things out thoroughly.

what you describe would be an ardous journey… if the mentioned macbooks cost like $500. or $1000. truly, that sorta thing is nothing short of masochistic and no sane person should bother with that.

you’re making broad statements based on very shitty hardware - 4 gig dual-core laptop isn’t a very representative experience when you can get solid workstations for pocket change.

the macbooks I get are in the $20 region and for that kinda “money” I get absolute top-notch quality hardware, that, although dated, is more than adequate for the vast majority of uses. spending a coupla minutes to tweak it post-install isn’t a huge price to pay.

here’s my headless 2014 MBP (i7-4770HQ with 16 GB, Intel Iris) doing its thing. was sold “for parts” due to busted screen for $25 ($40 asking).

so, yeah, dicking around with broadcom’s stack is a thing, but it’s a thing that you do once and then it just works. I’m as bleeding edge as reasonably possible (F43) on all models I run and I haven’t got any issues, akmod builds the driver on every kernel install, which if you’re doing actual work on the thing isn’t something you’re doing often.

as to how to install without LAN, you use your Android phone and tether its Wifi via USB. after five minutes (full system upgrade, install broadcom-wl via rpmfusion for e.g. Fedora) you’re done. or, use the netinstall thing the same way. there’s also a buncha stuff needed to make the experience better (undervolt, LID0 wake events, etc)

not sure about Airs but MBP 2015 models (possibly 2013/14 as well) can be retrofitted with a $5 adapter board that lets you fit a regular Intel M.2 NGFF in there, eliminating the tainted kernel issue.
