The headline is misleading. It only applies if you want to watch videos tagged 18+.

That one works. Thanks!

I hadn’t heard of this before, so I tried a few public instances listed on their GitHub repo. They’re all throwing a json error. Do you have a link that works for you?

I recommend Borgmatic, a declarative way to set up borg backups. I find it much nicer than a having a backup.sh script and the configuration is really straight-forward.

Yeah, I think it might be some kind of rate limiting. In another thread, it happened to someone else after batch-downloading videos with yt-dlp, which also prevented yt-dlp from downloading. Then it was back to normal (no sign in required) a few hours later.

That’s very informative! Thanks a lot for your input.

What is it about Samsung software that you find more robust? Have you ever felt like the OnePlus was unreliable when you needed it?

Thanks for your comments!

Have you experienced any bugs or reliability issues with the OnePlus phone? This is my biggest concern with it compared to Samsung.

I’ve seen anecdotes from people saying they prefer 13R over Pixel 9. What worries me the most is the quality of the software: I keep seeing screenshots of UI glitches, and I don’t know if that suggests reliability is mediocre.

Samsung’s software has been rock solid for me. This is the biggest plus for Samsung in my book.

Have you also used a recent OnePlus? Do you know how the two would compare?

If you don’t want a GUI, dockcheck is an easy way to update many containers at once from the CLI.

Are you using Kitchenowl for storing recipes? If so, what’s your experience with it?

I’ve tried Tandoor, the common suggestion for recipe management, but I’ve found it too clunky to add recipes to. I like the concept, but it would take a long time to move all my recipes into the specific format they use, and the web UI does not make things easier.

Firefox starts with a bigger disadvantage than both Chrome and Safari on mobile. On iOS, it’s all Safari under the hood anyway, so a lot of people don’t see any point switching skins. On Android, in my experience it works well, but you still find occasional sites that expect Chrome and miss features on Firefox, especially around Google Pay.

I used to use Firefox on Android several years ago, but at the time Nightly had significantly better performance than stable or Beta, and I think some extensions were also only supported on Nightly. Stable or Beta didn’t perform well enough for me to warrant choosing over Chrome. But because of the nature of nightly, every now and then an update would introduce UI or UX bugs, or occasionally even battery/performance issues. I use my phone as little as I can, so when it’s frustrating if it doesn’t work right when I need it. So, I have moved away from Firefox on mobile.

I’ve actually switched to Vivaldi. It works as well as Chrome in terms of sites playing nicely with it, and it also has good customizability. It doesn’t support extensions, but that alone isn’t enough for me to pick Firefox.

I’ve liked the look and feel of Motorola Edge phones for a few generations now and I’d give one a try for a few years—the price point is often good enough that you can justify it for a a few years only, whilst software updates are supported—if it wasn’t for the MediaTek chips. I know people generally praise their performance, but I’m really not confident that they aren’t backdoored.

I’ll start with two new addtions for me:

• Capy Reader (code, F-Droid). While curating my Feedly subscriptions, I decided to try switching to some RSS feeds instead, which I had previously put off because I hadn’t found a client I liked. Capy Reader is excellent both in performance and user interaction, and I find I much prefer reading my sources this way than through Feedly now.
• Readeck (code). Not technically an app, but the website works perfectly well through a mobile browser. A read-it-later service that snapshots web pages and displays them in a friendly, customizable reader mode. The only downside is that it doesn’t cache the full content of the saved pages offline, so you can’t use it without Internet access.

If the data is “irreplaceable”, you shouldn’t keep only a single copy of it.

The Edge 20 series isn’t on the list and it’s only about 2 years old…

What were the limitations of borg that you ran into?

Do navigation gestures still work if you use a third party launcher? There was a time when it broke the animations and the gestures became clunky.

I think they run a lot of compute shader, so that they can offload part of the simulation to the GPU, so anything that reduces the utilization of the GPU could improve performance overall.
