I think early last year they hyped some potential partnership to have a custom grapheneOS device, anyone know what happened to that?
Just a stranger trying things.

I’m sorry, what? That does not make sense to me.
I would like to simultaneously better organize, rename and move my ISO files while still being able to seed them. How do people do both? my download folder is not where I want to keep my iso files for consumption and the often cryptic names of iso files can be annoying to navigate and manage so how can this be improved without sacrificing seeding? thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to answer. Indeed, the title is a simplification, but I was hoping that the body of the text would highlight that it does not have to be a literal SFF but just something on the smaller side.
I personally loved THGTTG from beginning to the end. To each their own :)
Memento is a movie about a guy who tries to find the murderer of his wife but has a condition where he only remembers the last few minutes, so works with post-its, photos and tatoos to piece things together. Great movie!
Predestination is a time traveling cop trying to prevent a terrorist attack.
I’m leaving the best part out which is thought provoking, but you will find it and appreciate it when you watch both movies I think.
Exactly, this is about compression. Just imagine a full HD image, 1920x1080, with 8 bits of colors for each of the 3 RGB channels. That would lead to 1920x1080x8x3 = 49 766 400 bits, or roughly 50Mb (or roughly 6MB). This is uncompressed. Now imagine a video, at 24 frames per second (typical for movies), that’s almost 1200 Mb/second. For a 1h30 movie, that would be an immense amount of storage, just compute it :)
To solve this, movies are compressed (encoded). There are two types, lossless (where the information is exact and no quality loss is resulted) and lossy (where quality is degraded). It is common to use lossy compression because it is what leads to the most storage savings. For a given compression algorithms, the less bandwidth you allow the algorithm, the more it has to sacrifice video quality to meet your requirements. And this is what bitrate is referring to.
Of note: different compression algorithms are more or less effective at storing data within the same file size. AV1 for instance, will allow for significantly higher video quality than h264, at the same file size (or bitrate).
To be fair, resolution is not enough to measure quality. The bitrate plays a huge role. You can have a high resolution video looking worse than a lower resolution one if the lower one has a higher bitrate. In general, many videos online claim to be 1080p but still look like garbage because of the low bitrate (e.g. like on YouTube or so). If you go for a high bitrate video, you should be able to tell pretty easily, the hair, the fabric, the skin details, the grass, everything can be noticeably sharper and crisper.
Edit: so yeah, I agree with you, because often they are both of low bitrate…
ChatGPT is already free, even GPT-4o since recently.
Granted, you do need an account which requires a phone number, but there are no financial costs.
An equalizer does not have to sum up to any specific number. Each frequency range is basically being amplified or attenuated individually. You are boosting or reducing specific frequency ranges. If you reduce them all equally, then the end result is that your song is lower volume. If you boost them all, your song is louder.
Of note: boosting songs may cause occasional crackling sounds. If this is the case it is because the boosting is clipping the top end of the amplitude of your signal at various frequencies. So boost moderately. You are better off reducing some frequencies and leaving the rest normal and increase the volume of the source to compensate whenever possible.
You’re putting a very large amount of trust on something which may simply require the flip of a switch to add the specified information to be sent back to Google along with all the regular heavy telemetry already feeding back…
How much responsibility would a service like Signal have, if they were to inadvertently host a private group for pirated content? I believe signal groups can have up to 1000 members, and these members can be pretty anonymous given the need to only share an ephemeral username which can not be linked to a phone number or any other identity? Can they claim plausible deniability and not do anything?
Is that the limiting factor for the UI responsiveness? Or are you talking about the fact that the parsing and metadata querying takes days?
Have you just installed jellyfin? The scraping for metadata for me took days literally. And the difficult time is that during the scraping, the interface is very slow.
You can monitor the scraping/parsing progress in settings > dashboard > libraries. The libraries have a sort of circular progress bar with a percentage symbol (only visible in this view) when parsing is ongoing.
You may want to change the following setting in that case: Settings > dashboard > playback > resume > Maximum resume percentage.
It will set the threshold of what is considered played (in percentage of video length). Default is 90%. Try lowering it?
Are there any instructions to follow?
It’s pretty new but if you are interested in degoogling and looking for ways to use android auto, there is apparently a working solution with GrapheneOS but I have not tested so can not verify it.

One thing which has drastically helped me, if pihole is not an option, is to use Mullvad’s DNS on my phone. It helps a lot:
https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls
On android you can set up a custom DNS by going to: settings > network & internet > private DNS Or settings > network & internet > advanced > private DNS.
Can you elaborate on why it is a bad security practice? It’s the first time I’m reading about it and I’d like to read more about it. Thanks!
I would be concerned that a market would take place, where money could be made selling them, creating more incentives to acquire skulls… you see where this is going?
