Lemmy - Tried for a day and just couldn’t get it working. Found out there are issues with Rocky Linux and Lemmy that broke about two months ago but no further work was done it. I’ll try again someday.
I like Photostructure as a way to browse my photos. It does logical deduping, and automatic organization of your photos (if you want it to). Like some others mentioned in this thread, it’s a very young software, but the developer is very active and transparent about the progress.
I really enjoyed Voyager and still watch episodes regularly. For me it was the idea of being so far from the “known universe” and what that would be like.
The one time I tried shaving my head, I slipped and shaved off a small chunk of eyebrow. Luckily, the haircut was so uneven that few people even noticed the eyebrow :P
It was around 2001 and I started by dual booting Windows with Red Hat, don’t remember which version. Eventually I dropped Windows and dropped the dual boot and switched from Red Hat to Ubuntu.
Sorry for the my previous post, I hit ‘publish’ instead of exiting preview, lol.
What phone are you using?
Samsung Galaxy A11, Android 12/One Ui Core 4.1. I bought it in November 2020, amid a problem with not accessing Whatsapp and communicating with my schoolmates.
Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities?
Yeah. I don’t know how to say exactly about the best and worst things about it, I’ll just say that at least it’s satisfying me.
Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot?
Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime and Motorola G6 Play. About the first one, it had terrible storage: 16GB, which was small even back then and it was one of the reasons I switched phones. About the second one, it lasted a few years, but as I used it a lot, it ended up with the battery becoming addicted and it stopped working during the pandemic. I still kept it, waiting for some repair, but then I had to give it to another relative.
How often do you upgrade to a new phone?
I use it until it is very old or with some defect. Yes, I know it’s kind of weird to do that, but the wages here don’t help much in the exchange for a decent phone.
What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc.
None.
Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.)
I have a tablet (Galaxy Tab A, 2019 version. Android 11), two cell phones that belonged to my parents (Galaxy J7 Prime and Galaxy A10, the latter being with the screen broken) and a notebook with Windows 10 that I also bought in 2020 (Samsung Essentials E20). Yes, I’m technically kind of a Samsung fan.
Like another commenter said, Mopidy can do it all in one instance. It works, but I personally find its integration with MPD clients to be a bit clunky so I don’t use it all that much.
Personally I use Snapcast as an endpoint, plain MPD for local files, and navidrome for remote access to my library.
Snapcast supports Spotify endpoints, so I just switch to my Spotify stream when I want to listen to Spotify and to my MPD stream when I want to listen to local stuff.
This is more of an ecosystem than a single solution though, so it may not be what you’re looking for.
Not super old, but my homebrew 3DS gets a ton of usage. A while back I installed every ROM I could want onto an SD card, which has brought years of entertainment.
