  • You do have a point. TBH I only now realized that the video was posted from Doctorow's personal account, and without a link to the "original", which yeah, kinda weird.

    The talk itself is still worth it (had the fortune of sitting in the audience), but probably a good idea to use the media.ccc.de link.

  • Universal Android Debloater.

    It's a community-rating systems for apps, and you can remove/permanently (even through os updates) disable them through ADB, without actually needing to know anything about ADB because uad comes in a nice GUI package.

    I think I removed ~200 apps (most of them invisible, background ads stuff) from my phone. Much better experience.

  • Have you ever tried to "acquire" a taste? (Ie. spent time eating/imbibing something you didn't like at first to start to enjoy it.)

  • Idk. With Arch I felt like I constantly had to be on top of things. With nix, everything is rock solid and stable, and if I want to change or add something, I do that, once, and then it's also rock solid until all eternity and across all my machines.

    In total I might have spent more time interacting with nix already, but it feels less like "work" than with arch. Higher setup burden, almost zero maintenance burden and zero mental overhead.

    Happy holidays btw

    Edit: forgot to include the context. For the Thunderbird example, I have spent 1-2 hours once, 2 years ago, converting all the Thunderbird config options to nix, and adding my mail accounts through nix. I have not had to go into the Thunderbird settings since, and after doing a fresh install on a new machine, my accounts are already THERE on first boot. A lot of things are tedious in nix, but you do them ONCE.

  • Music Assistant 2.7 - Taking over the airwaves

    Jump

  • FWIW, I've been using Music Assistant with my Sonos speakers without issue.

    HOWEVER, I'm using MA as part of Home Assistant, and have the speakers configured through HA, not MA. MA just sees the speakers as HA Media Players. That works really well.

  • Firefox browser falls to AI. What do we do now?

    Jump

  • Not the person you replied to, but I also switched to Librewolf a couple of months ago, also greatly enjoy it. Here's a link to my nix config where Librewolf gets made to behave a little closer to default Firefox in terms of usability. Honestly not too bad!

  • Interesting. To me, the calendar app is one of the most important apps I have (it's fully FOSS though. Connected through DavX5 with a Caldav server to sync to my desktop/Thunderbird, no Google involvement)

  • rule

    Jump

  • Nah, both ways are fine. The first one just installs the package, the second one enables the module, which installs the package + does a bunch of additional setup and gives you super convenient configuration options (like setting up mail accounts declaratively from nix)
