Looking for FOSS GitHub Client

I’ve been looking around for a good GitHub client on my degoogled phone, but have had trouble finding a still-maintained one that’s ready to use. I find that I just default to opening URLs in Fennec, which is far from ideal as I have to load the whole website (and it’s quite laggy on my Pixel 3a). So I turn to Lemmy: what...

kniescherz ,

Whats a github client?

kniescherz ,

Y not use smarttube next on tv?

kniescherz ,

I like my Ass Youtube!

kniescherz ,

Gotcha. Cheap firetv stick would be an option for people not as tech savvy as you.

kniescherz ,

Whats the difference?

kniescherz ,

Totally serious. Never knew there is a difference. Thanks for the explanation.

kniescherz ,

And the network is way smaller since it only uses phones which have the tile app installed.

kniescherz ,

I read that its a good idea to use a vpn to a very small, rather poor country. When the podcast has dynamic ads, it may not have one for your country and you can get it ad free. Havent tested it though.

How to make sure transmission is using my vpn?

I have transmission running on my server in a docker container that is supposed to go through gluetun. If I run test with ipleak and other torrent ip testers it shows my vpn’s ip address. However transmission is running way faster download speeds than deluge or qbit were with the same configuration. It makes me wonder if all...

kniescherz ,

Use docker with a container which can only go online thru a vpn like transmission-vpn.

How do you play your 4K movie files on a TV using a small remote? Firetv + Plex does exactly that and does it pretty great while only 35€. Does that make me a retard?

kniescherz ,

That does not solve the problem. Its just an app installed onto the firetv. You do not replace the launcher or circumventing launch screen ads.

kniescherz ,

That has nothing to do with piracy or not. Its just a device to play media. You can use a firetv to 100% stream pirated content via kodi or plex and still have to see this shit.

kniescherz ,

I got a 4K Max one because it was only 35€. I want to upgrade to a shield pro successor which is overdue by now.

kniescherz ,

Interesting. I am not really happy with mine. Pretty laggy and it sometimes crashes. But good to know and makes the wait easier instead of getting that old tech instead.

kniescherz ,

Good for you. It does not change my point though that a device which can stream media having ads not really has anything to do with more piracy.

kniescherz ,

Lol, damn.

kniescherz ,

Which OS is good for this? Which remote can be used? I use my Stick to launch several apps like Plex, Smarttube Next, ARD Mediathek (German TV series). Not needing anything more. But a snappy remote and support for various audio and video codecs is key.

kniescherz ,

Can you install adfree youtube on it with sponsorblock?

kniescherz ,

Very helpful. Tanks!

kniescherz , (edited )

rootmy.tv

Edit: unfortunetly doesnt work anymore

kniescherz ,

A damn. Sorry to get youre hopes up. It was great while it lasted.

How is the piracy experience on an iPad ?

So I am planning on buying an ipad, never owned one before. I have always been an android guy and from what I have heard Ipad os or ios is pretty restrictive in nature so I was wondering how much does it hamper the piracy experience. For example on android I can torrent files of any nature or size without any restrictions and...

kniescherz ,

Get a used M1 Macbook Air. MacOs isnt restricted like their mobile devices. Its passivly cooled, relativly cheap, portable and also capable for more serious productive work.

kniescherz ,

They are super expensive but worth it when you use their features. You can e.g. connect it to a PC, use it as a second monitor and as a drawing tablet for photoshop. Similar drawing tablets from wacom arent nearly as versatily and cost similar or even more.

That said, I just use my S7+ for notes, youtube and comics. Probably not worth it but I love the excellent screen.

kniescherz ,

There is a native feature from Samsung and third party apps as well. Third party apps need to be installed on PC and on the tablet.

kniescherz ,

Definetly get the base model, use a NAS for storage and just download more RAM

kniescherz ,

Its a shame drm free digital purchases was never a thing with movies like with music.

Buy, download, bam, its yours forever.

I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe

I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don’t know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is...

kniescherz ,

Spotify did this to me twice before traveling. So infuriating.

kniescherz ,

95% of the sites I tried jDownloader works. Nice thing is, you can just copy and paste the URL if the site, no need to crawl for the video stream url.

Highly recommended

kniescherz ,

But no security updates for the OS though which often means you kinda should think about to stop using it for more than an alarm clock, podcasts and spotify.

kniescherz ,

Thats 50€ a month, its ridiculous and a punch on the mouth for those who supported the product in such an early stage.

As a comparison, I am using an S20FE 5G which I got for 300€ two years ago. Thats 12,50 per month and it still gets updates. Sure thats no high end phone, but I dont miss anything, fast OLED screen, 500GB storage through sd card, blazing fast, good camera.

Reminds me of some technical hikes ive done. Often the hardest part was at very beginning. It was to make sure that only skilled enough people could enter.

kniescherz ,

Probably because of Project Mainline.

kniescherz ,

Interesting feature from ytdlp. Another reason why sponsor block might not be feasable for podcasts are inidividualized advertisements. There are few podcasts which e.g. have different ads depending for which country you are coming from. So going just by timecodes isnt an option.

kniescherz ,

Its amazing once you start to realize how little you can watch even when you are subbed to all streaming services. In the years I used Netflix and co my consumption changed to ‘I watch whats available’. Once I pirated again and joined a similar Plex server with a catalogue which contains pretty much every movie and tv show ever made, even international ones, it changed to ‘What weird shit I really want to watch today’.

Even if would sub to every streaming service available to me (which would probably cost 100€ per month) I could only see 20% of the movies I have watched.

kniescherz ,

Before you upscale it is crucial to get the best rip possible. To my knowledge the best ripping and deinterlacing process is called QTGMC.

After that, experiment with AI upscalers. But the best Upscalers will only get so far when the initial rip isnt as best as possible.

kniescherz ,

Install Android Studio on your PC and create a new empty app. Plug in your mobile and deploy that app. Now select that app as the second one for the lower half. It should be all black, if its all white, change the background color.

Or look if there is an all black app in the store, probably a screen tester app.

kniescherz ,

Y do ez when complicated do trick?

kniescherz ,

Yeah but what if the fingerprint is more tricky? Like a blank line with the font called afzer the fingerprint? Metadata inside of an image?

To be reasonable safe one would have to buy the book from multiple accounts and compare some hashes.

kniescherz ,

Samsung has this feature build in and its called ‘Extra dim’ or similar. Its a quick setting one can get when customizing the tiles.

I used to use third party apps too, but it was annoying that you couldnt grant permissions or install new apps without deactivating the dimming app since it was a security risk to have an app which draws over other apps.

kniescherz ,

Good to know. Never noticed it with my last phone (one plus). Its often not that clear which option is a Samsung addon and which is not.

SmartTube - an advanced player for set-top boxes and tv running Android OS (github.com)

I’ve already been paying for YouTube Premium for many years to get rid of advertisement, and I’ve been using SponsorBlock for a year or so on my laptop to skip the inline ads, but because most of my watching of YouTube happens on the TV I always had to use the remote to skip it. It helps to see the “most rewind” area so...

kniescherz ,

It does.

kniescherz ,

One idea for the language problem. It needs a little bit of tinkering. Grab the apk and alter the package name. Than you can install multiple instances side by side. You could install one instance for each language. Probably necessary to alter the app name as well so you can distinguish between the different versions.

kniescherz ,

Never heard of geopdf but i found this:

help.locusgis.com/…/47001094929-how-to-import-geo…

So you can convert your files with qgis (free) on a computer and than have a broader selection of apps like locusgis. You could also try locus (non gis) or osmand which is foss.

kniescherz OP ,

Thanks for the answer. If I remember correctly, this plugin works by accepting all cookies in the background. Is this correct?

If so, do you also have some kind of cookie cleanup policy/plugin? Or do you really dont care about cookies?

kniescherz OP ,

This looks really promising. Not available on mobile though, but I will test on my desktop.

kniescherz OP ,

Sweet!

kniescherz OP ,

Well to be honest, even if each and every website wouldnt use dar patterns and there is a clear choice to refuse with one click, it would still be obnoxious to decline everytime you visit a site.
