Disable HDMI CEC in the settings. It's designed to let the Xbox turn on the TV or vice versa, but it's very buggy and can cause stuff like that to happen.

If you wrote good code, even a caveman would understand it.

Do you think the cars on amazon will be cheaper than sticker price and save you the negotiation?

ich_iel is the worst place to learn german, the running gag is to translate stuff from english literally while actively ignoring the context.

I just use hacker news for tech stuff. If an article on there is BS, you can be sure that someone will call that out in the comments after about 5 minutes. And if not, there's almost always a good discussion with very few insults.

Looks great, but I get a lot of SSL errors without real tine downloading and one every 5 or so songs with it.

It'll take a week or two to download 3000 songs, but running it periodically after that should be fine.

Sounds like a good idea. Zotify keeps throwing meter-long stacktraces at me about SSL errors that I assume are API rate limits because there's less of them when I use real-time downloading.

Maybe it's even a nice project for an android app because zotify doesn't run there yet.

I use bluetooth headphones, 300kbps is enough.

Does CGNAT protect from ISP letters?

Because for all the pain it causes me, it should at least be useful for something

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes and that's why you stick to popular FOSS stuff.

Last time I checked, the secret chats had some severe downsides that make them unusable as normal chats.

And if you want to bring open-source to the conversation: Signal is AGPL licensed, both the apps and backend. Not that it matters because of the E2E encryption.

Telegram doesn't have proper E2E encryption, so why are you using it for text messages at all? Asking this in privacy seems a bit weird to me.
