Deepseek api is down today - probably a result of their viral success recently…

I need this but 4G version…

I have MX Linux on my old Dell Inspiron 1300 that refuses to die after 20 years. Great distro, I like it better than Ubuntu in some ways - just difficult to install some software built for 64 bit only of course

What does this desktop app do that the browser extension doesn’t? I tried the cli extension but it was rubbish…

Does anyone know if this is the same way Sober is running the port of Roblox?

Newpipe works great on tablets too, a lot of Android apps have a landscape mode

So AdGuard works on the YouTube website. I haven’t been there for some time - I use 2 other methods to watch YouTube ad-free.

1. Newpipe - Android app that works by parsing the website, will probably be affected?
2. YouTube Kodi add-on - works with Google YouTube API, I was wondering when this loophole is going to be plugged…

Anyone with knowledge of the matter care to comment? So far my YouTube watching is still ad-free.

I also run pi-hole in front of my WiFi. Nothing gets through. Or will it?

I noticed some podcasts these days have random server injected ads - usually the same ad repeated 2 or 3 times, is this going to be my video stream soon?

It’s always nice to have some motivation from doing things for others. Depending on the service, you can always host for others AND for yourself. It’s 10x as much work but you do get positive feedback (sometimes…)

As a former Android developer, you can’t just do anything in an android app on a modern smartphone. The system is fighting you for resources the whole time. It makes sense to have something like this running as root on a device that you control.

Not that I’m sold on it, just saying…

Might be a coincidence but MX Linux still supports 32bit x86 CPU’s.

I recently installed MX Linux on an old Dell Inspiron 1300 which inexplicably still runs and it’s pretty snappy, considering.

Digital. I’ve been reading ebooks for years, starting on my flip phone back in the day. The best part to me is being able to seamlessly switch from reading with my eyes to being read to (tts - I’m used to it now and it’s waaaay better than it was).

I do a lot of driving for work so I can get a ton of reading done on the road 😁

AI models get more dishonest if you ask them to respond as if they were a pirate: https://www.circusscientist.com/2023/11/13/i-hired-a-pirate-to-take-orders-for-my-entertainment-business/

A friend had the shower drain piped directly to his garden sprinkler at one point. His shower was on the 2nd floor so gravity did the rest.

Probably have a ton of unusual/unique items, being a magician and juggler, but the one that comes to mind is our dedicated BBQ bellows.

This is simply an old re-purposed balloon pump and lives outside next to the fireplace. Best way to get the fire going, portable, cheap… Beats blowing with your mouth/waving newspaper hands down.
