Never tried it but heard so much talk about jellyfin I tried that and it seems to work pretty well so far. Is there any advantages of emby over jellyfin?

This is good to know, thanks for sharing. I’ve only got it local for now after installing at the weekend and wasn’t sure how secure it was for external access.

Same. I finally switched over to jellyfin recently as it was low down on a long list of stuff I want to do, let alone need to do. I feel like I got my worth and if things mess up with jellyfin, I’ve got a temporary backup option to spin up without having to give a single penny more. Fingers crossed, no more of my data either seeing as it’s all uninstalled.

Such a good point. Every once in a while I come across a particular social policy in a European country that someone from there is astonished doesn’t exist in other countries and on paper you think this would be great but you would know it would be such a hard sell in your / other countries. I think on a city / regional level there is a lot more about looking what other places are doing well top adopt them but don’t see it as much on an international level (outside of the EU anyway)

I don’t know how any company I’ve worked for would operate, especially when headquartered in another country. They’ll just have to fire everyone in that country rather than compromise their security

Others have explained it well. Just want to add a recommendation to use the trash guides (https://trash-guides.info/) to configure these apps. You can use Notifiarr to sync these changes automatically too

I use fairphone 5 with /e/os and echo these comments in the most part, although would go higher than OK to that it works well for me.

All my banking apps (UK based) work through aurora store, which might be luck. I have had difficulty with a few others I slightly miss (mainly Citymapper). I use Foss alternatives on f-droid as much as possible and for others I add a link to their website on my homepage, which mostly works the same but can have features missing (Citymapper has less options).

I did find google maps has better traffic than any other apps so sometimes I use GMaps WV from f-droid to check which route is best, then try to actually learn those routes or use another maps app for navigation.

I got a fairphone 5 earlier this year and am very happy with it. There is a version with /e/os installed but it was out of stock so I bought the android and it was really easy to install /e/os myself with no technical knowledge needed. I use f-droid for as many apps as possible. It has a version of play store (app lounge) for other apps, most of which have worked. For the odd one that didn’t, I’ve just added a shortcut to the mobile website for quick access. Theres no google pay but I can use the curve app fine with NFC so can even buy stuff, something I didn’t expect to be able to do.

I bought a set over a year ago for my son, then the school library also seems to have them (they pick a book a week)

We’re very aware in the UK but it’s not too easy. We have some the oldest housing stock in the world. We don’t have central air with no real way to retrofit so it would have to be one room at a time. Our windows aren’t designed to house those units I see in NY. We have to rely on very inefficient portable units so I only use it on the really hot days. Energy prices are still high after Russia’s invasion. People are adding proper units when extending but only the rich can really afford that.

This is why I happily pay for channel 4 plus, even though I don’t use their app for viewing all that much

Wait, the police are going after a royal, I thought that was impossible?!? (speaking from the UK where we clearly have a rapist and paedophile…)

It was illegal but not enforced at all or followed by the locals, so not followed by anybody else either. During the day was fine but in the evening and night it was like there was no law

Really? And did they self regulate their fees? Oh wait no, it took EU enforcement to cut down their fees and stop businesses passing them onto customers. The EU also enforced more security regulation, and more use of those by the banks themselves using these credit card processors who washed their hands of levels of security

Yeah, went to Spain, and woke up with a sore throat and really smelly clothes. Took me back to before the ban and realised how good that was for everyone

Oh man, I had no idea. I really appreciate you letting me know

I haven’t got it yet so not sure but good point I’ll need to check! He can handle the switch without removing the sticks. Is it even bigger than that?

I really struggled with readarr but maybe because I never used a private tracker as others have mentioned. I’ll give that a try

I had a lot more luck with https://github.com/evan-buss/openbooks but it’s completely manual. I make a note of books I come across and then every few weeks manually search on here and add the downloads to a calibre monitored folder.

Yeah it sounds like Androids aggressive battery helper is causing this.

Is there any benefit to browsing private mode? Its only stopping history on your phone and not websites, so you can just set normal mode to not save history, cookies etc. Private mode is designed to be temporary in stopping your phone recording history and one button to close them all, so its not surprising that it doesn’t save tabs, in fact its a feature
