Pihole, if i understand correctly, works by blocking DNS requests and YouTube ads are not DNS based the way ads usually are. You’re stuck blocking them by uBO on each device or use Invidious.

80 Puppen? Mini HDMI und wegen Adapter noch mehr ausgeben? Schade. 3B reicht. Sonst gibts genug PCs in der Müllhalde, verbrauchen aber etwas mehr Strom.

Ich kriege das Gefühl, man vergisst dass ein Chatbox nicht gleich reden unter >=4 Augen ist. Wenn mir jmd ein Grußbild oder irgendein Link schickt, und nicht reagiere, juckt mich das nicht: Das tut meine Gegenseite auch nicht wenn ich was dergleichen schicke.

Wenn jmd von mir auf der Stelle eine Antwort möchte, soll mich besser anrufen und gut ist. Zumindest für Discord sollte man den Ton für Nachrichten abstellen, und generell für Gruppen. Das ist gut für die Seele. Wenn einer nicht einsieht, dass du deine eigenen Probleme hast und einfach nur Kopffreiheit brauchst, ist das nicht dein Problem.

Hast du zufälligerweise ein Fritz Box Router? https://avm.de/service/wissensdatenbank/dok/FRITZ-Box-7590/15_Drucker-an-FRITZ-Box-einrichten/

Kommt drauf an. Nicht alle wollen von Google vervolgt werden und Müll wie Shorts und Umfragen reinziehen, eher wesentliche sachen wie suchen/finden und produktiv bleiben. reVanced ist ohne Zweifel eine super Sache wenn man vom Vanilla nicht wegkommt, ich zB. :D

Kommt drauf an. Mir reichen Snap-lose Ubuntus wie Mint und Pop. Pop ist top wenn man nervige dual GPU Dinger hat, da kann man aus dem Stehgreif auswählen welche GPU du nutzen willst, Hybrid geht auch.

Um mal ganz von Ubuntu weg zu kommen weil warum nicht, nutze ich auch Fedora. Vor allem ‘unzerstörbare’ Dinge wie Silverblue möchte ich irgendwann mal ausprobieren, falls mein Fedora nicht mehr will.

You all got a valid point… it’s just that mileage varies and x codec will sound better in y combination. If I remember right, AAC on Android is at times implemented differently than on it’s home Apple: The encoder would work with smaller bitrates to save battery. There must be a special synergy for max bitrate LDAC to sound worse than AAC, indeed. All in all my post is about being open minded and giving you the option to use a thing, rather than finding out what codec is universally the best: You virtually can’t, can you?

This is like asking why manual or automatic is frustrating. You mostly use the thing you have grown up with and that’s it, particularly when you got bills to pay and there isn’t much free time unfortunately. If you put it into perspective, a massive amount of users already hold Linux in their hands and everyday life: Android. Nah let’s get back to computers.

IT class back in college taught a wee bit of Linux. I was one of the few who were interested and did what the teacher said, the rest played Hearthstone. Linux Mint is what intrigued me since high school. A wonderful OS that brings life to laptops too slow for Windows 7. But I’m still the cozy and unbothered person who sticks to Windows on their main machine. I just want to relax after a good days work and play Forza Horizon 5. However I do enjoy my Linux laptops that won’t run red hot just because of Windows Update, Defender, telemetry and other garbage. My love&hate about Linux is that there are so many distros to choose from. There were times when x is better than y and it was(still is) the devils circle: distro hopping. Today I’m cool with Ubuntu derivatives like Mint and Pop, along with Fedora and Suse, since a decade of having at least one Linux PC I still don’t find joy in advanced stuff like Arch. Anyway use the thing you are comfy with and don’t let anyone judge you, live your life. <3

just yes. the sound and anc is day and night compared to my more compact redmi buds 3 pro. I used to diss TWS as a whole until I got these pairs. Had some issues after a firmware update but a factory reset did fix it for me. :)

This is true if you leave it at defaults but I make use of file versioning. When you flick that one on, files that are otherwise replaced or deleted will actually move to a offline .stversions folder. That is very vital I must say in case a host catches some encryptor malware eheh

I use foobar2k via wine. Yes, you may stone me. Tip: You will save heaps of space by not embedding the cover on each file, just put a cover.jpg in the albums folder, virtually any player will pick it up.

No. That would defeat the purpose of me installing Linux in (old) laptops. Windows feels sluggish enough with a sea of bad things wanting your minimum wage and have Windows Defender prevent it but not all of it, obviously.

I put all my attention to prevention and set strict rules on the router. It can be as simple as setting the DNS to stuff like dnsforge.de or DIY it with PiHole with hosts lists of your hearts content that update itself weekly, I do the latter. Nothing beats a cross platform solution that protects every device in the network, if you’re after 100% performance. Of course you can still catch bad things, such as social engineering by email that happened over at Linus Tech Tips. You better stay vigilant no matter what solution you use and don’t sleep on making backups, which can be as simple and automated when you use Syncthing for example.

Yes… I made double sure to mention ‘encoder’ between that.

Xiph really won the lossy codec scene with Opus and I transcoded all my junk to that format. Hitting (my personal) transparency on 128k vbr is flat out impressive and it warms my heart that corpos won’t have a reason to collect taxes for basic things like audio codec. However it’s a different story with bluetooth audio codec in which I hope will change.

I see, so Edifier and Soundcore shall do some homework as well: LDAC and multi point don’t work there either.

I feel you there. Personally I just use the earbuds as output and the integrated laptop mic as input. Bluetooth really just doesn’t shine in that regard. However if you’re on Desktop and want everything to happen on a headset, not earbuds x wired stand mic, you should look into things like HyperX Cloud 2 Wireless that employ a USB dongle instead.

Yes, LDAC and multipoint do not mix hence I’m looking forward to LC3plus that replaces it. To be fair it’s not a big issue to roll back to AAC or even SBC to use multipoint, because you probably aren’t gonna notice a difference when you don’t listen to high res apps like Tidal. It also should be known that a good codec does not fix mediocre drivers and/or chips. Regardless, Linux shines in letting you use a feature you did pony up for. :)

Ich streue etwas Natron auf die Bürste, neben dem Klecks Pasta. Dies ist aber auf dauer nachteilhaft für’s Zahnschmelz: Es schleift. Tue das höchstens ein Mal in der Woche und lass es schleunigst sein wenn Eiscrem wehtut.

Yes but it is a automated backup solution if you want it to. I just put important stuff in the Syncthing folder and rest assured its also on the phone incase the computers SSD caughs fire.

Kaiser Natron oder regulär Backsoda:

Wöchentliches Zahnweiss

Deodorant (Haut als auch Lufterfrischer)

Anti Sodbrennen

Hilft bei Insektenstiche

Sprudel schmeckt damit etwas besser (Schweppes soda water enthält Backsoda)

Lässt Sekundenkleber härten wie Gips

Fleckenentferner

Achja und mindestens einhundert Kabelbinder

Syncthing. I don’t want to invest into a NAS and put some load into my already greedy power bill, so I chose something decentralized. Syncthing really just works like Torrent but for your personal files: Whatever happens on the computer, also does on the phone, and on the laptop. Each have about 1TB of space and 3 times redundancy? Hell yea buddy dig in.
