I went to podcini on f-droid. No ads. Works just like Google podcasts. Even has the play speed thing which I really like.

Both points are bad. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. The Internet was created to be run by millions of servers and works best that way. Funneling everything through one company is just a bad idea in general.

I keep several IPTV news streams going at once. 4+ is good for me.

So just to put this out there. I’ve been testing single-board-computers running Android and Linux and streaming multiple IPTV streams at the same time and the Fire TV (I have the 4K Max) beats the Raspberry Pi 4, Odroid N2 + & Intel NUC 7 i5 CPU w/ Intel GPU). I know that they’re cheap as hell but they actually perform better in my specific use case than other Android or Linux platforms. I can stream 5 or 6 1080 IPTV streams simultaneously on the Fire TV, while 3 or 4 is the max on the others.

I like the tire wear on the streets. I miss the pedestrian teeth. 😁

I think that they only did one run in August 2023. There’s talk of a v2, but the discord is kind of quiet.

So the beepy is just a display and keyboard for the raspberry pi zero? How do you like using it?

22.04 still isn’t FIPS validated yet, so if you need FIPS with Ubuntu pro, the most recent LTS distro you can get is 20.04. That’s why 20.04 is still popular.

btop doesn’t update all of the characters for me after a while if I leave it open for a long time, and eventually it stops updating altogether.

The new Twitter company could issue a C&D to the old Twitter because they’re not actively using the trademark. I don’t see why a new company couldn’t call themselves twitter if they’re willing to go through the court system to take it away.

Yup. Larkspur. I’d know it anywhere.

I’ve got the 10" kindle that I resurrected a year ago with a new battery and jailbroken & several 6" kindles (one jailbroken) but I recently got a cheap chinese e-ink Android device (Xiaomi Inkpalm 5) and I like it a lot better than anything else that I’ve had before. My primary use case is RSS/news reading, not books. I side-loaded the Feedly Classic APK onto it and except for the “smooth scroll” feature of it (which takes several screen refreshes instead of just one - and subsequently uses up like 3-4 times more battery just because of the smooth scroll feature), it’s really almost the perfect device. I’d love to find a larger e-ink Android device and figure out somehow to get rid of the smooth-scroll feature of the Feedly Classic app. If I could do that, it’d be the perfect device. :)

I worked for Dish Television. One day their CEO announced that they were going to enter the 5G cellular space as a pivot from their primary TV distribution business that was losing subscribers at an alarming rate.
