  • Adding a +1 for radio-browser

    I'm still using RadioDroid even though it doesn't seem to be maintained at the moment... and even a fork is losing momentum, so I didn't make the jump.

    Maybe I'll try Transistor...

  • And reading the blog, I'm happy to read that it's configurable, not mandatory... nice... like the Linux ecosystem should be

  • Linux distro <4GB? Arch Linux... they're about 1.4GB

    These come out every month and I seed these for a good few months.

    Should also work on older computers as you can pick and choose the components you want.

  • Interesting, I thought that the Ryzens were better than Intel's offerings?

    What were the issues?

  • So, no weird firmware issues with Framework, like Tuxedo had?

  • I've (manually) disabled most of the google stuff anyway, so the only thing stopping me from changing the firmware is the hassle of reinstalling all the apps and data again...

    Give it another year or so and I'll get around to it...

  • It does depend on my day... sometimes I'm travelling, using route navigation whilst listening to my music over bluetooth all miles away from the nearest phone mast.

    Sometimes I don't leave the house...

    A replacable battery is also smaller, cheaper and easier than a powerbank too. So it's all win:win.

  • It was the replacable battery that originally convinced me to buy... I'd been using old Nokia's previously and that "5 seconds to full charge" appeal of a 2nd battery was the tipping point for me.

  • Yeah, just as @JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl mentioned, the cables seemed good origianally because they were such a tight fit, but over time they just wore away the connector.

    But, it could have been a "certified" cable and I might have dropped the phone straight on the connector - the point is really, that I can just replace a small component not an entire phone, which is what we (consumers) really need / want. 🎉

  • Buy European @feddit.uk

  • Have you considered any integration with Home Assistant?

    I'm tracking my family for automations when they arrive / leave home, so the GPS apps can't send to 2 different webhooks at the same time.

    Either HA could get data from your database, or (preferably for latency of automations) HA passes it's data on to your database.

    Thoughts?

    Edit: ah... ok... found your notes on the main website, my bad not reading that first

  • Vivaldi browser has email and calendar built in.

    It's not great, but it's European and 1 app for everything.

    Fairmail on Android for my main email client.

    For those complaining about Thunderbird's search... did you raise a ticket? That's the way to get things improved...

  • Thanks for the background on the tiles.

    Yeah, from my PoV, I'd like to use the OSM data that's already on my phone (from other OSM based apps), but I understand your point.

    So, where's your VPS? In EU?

    FYI: Got the app installed, followed the instructions (which refers to a Home Assistant template that doesn't exist on the app?), modified the default custom template with tid set to an identifier and ... I appear to be at home 🙂

    Thank you

  • you can predownload map tiles from a tile server I selfhost or use your own tile server.

    Could OSM tiles be used? Ie direct the app to an OSM server and download their data?

    I've no idea how tiles work, so this may be an absurd question 🙂

    I'm currently using GPSLogger, but Home Assistant's integration for it can't handle >1 device... if I install your app on multiple devices, can Home Assistant distinguish between them? Ie does the data nclude a DeviceID of some kind?

    Edit: ok, I think I've found the answer in your Home Assistant documentation

  • Yeah, good point about lack of ports... unless you went with a PoE Zigbee adapter?

    (I started looking at one, time passed, now it's now... so I can't recommend one)

    Or... ebay your non-Zigbee stuff to move across...slowly...?

  • I don't use docker, etc, so for me, if it's in the normal Arch repos or AUR then I don't need to think about it until there's a .pacnew file to look at

    Then, it's just the odd git pull on literally 2 devices.

    All organised by ansible...

    (well except the .pacnew, but I think it's nice to keep in touch with the packages)

  • Just a word of caution...

    I try to upgrade 1 (of a similar group) manually first to check it'a not foobarred after the update, then crack on with the rest. Testing a restore is 1 thing, but restoring the whole system...?

  • Yeah, ok, fair enough. That probably answers all the questions...

    Virgin will be throttling, AND having internal problems 🙂

    Be interesting if your VPS hop also gets throttled...

  • VPN throttling: are you sure your DNS traffic's going through the VPN tunnel and going to an external server, not your ISP's?

    If they can see where you're browsing, maybe that's triggered something.

    If it was only for a few hours though, maybe they just had an internal problem?

    Give them a call and ask them. And if they're doing something weird (throttling traffic), they should be able to tell you why... and consider leaving them if they're not providing the service you need.
