  • I got one instead of an EV, although I did want an electric motorcycle but it’s 2x for a subpar product.

    Even my new mid/low end adventure bike is only $6200. You can find used street bikes sub-$2000. The cheaper, lower-powered ones usually have better mileage too. Mine has 68mpg running 91 octane (US).

    If there’s snow on the street (enough to matter) I’m using my ancient car, but otherwise the proper gear and prep can handle my state weather fine (avg 30-85°F depending on time of year).



  • I used it for a while (a few years) before getting a VPN. I couldn’t stand the horrible download speeds mostly, but there were always bugs. Not to mention the Arch support randomly breaking for months(?).

    Sometimes torrents just refused to download anything at all too, it was pretty annoying. Wouldn’t even pull metadata.

    Maybe it’s improved since the year or so since I dropped it, but the dev team seems to be going off the deep end with weird crypto fair-share downloading even as the bug trackers keeps growing.

    It’s a shame too because the idea of decentralized torrents is great.

    I agree. Saved me a ton of time when I was importing an old iPod library that uses some crappy naming/folder scheme where they’re all named with random letters.

    It was able to correctly figure out all but maybe 15 songs out of hundreds, and then using the acustic fingerprinting it found all but the last few, which I did manually.

    I second this, but I think some of their personal configs go a bit overboard, at least the i3 version. I guess it’s not really their “vision” to be a literal Arch install script though.




  • Interesting. I currently run Jellyfin for myself & others, but would love to move to something that works a bit better.

    The hard part is getting in to all the various app stores (smart tvs & smartphones mainly). I also couldn’t find much info on what features it actually supports. I use basically everything Jellyfin offers (live TV, recordings, web radio, media playback, multiple playback sources, etc.), so I’d like to know that.

    Probably going to wait for reviews, but this seems very promising.

    Does anyone know how well Waydroid runs 2FA and banking apps? I’m required to use a specific 2FA app, and would also like to keep using my bank’s app for mobile check deposit. Not sure if Waydroid will cause any issues or not.


  • Sure they could, but why bother? There’s already FOSS twitch-esque sites you can self-host.

    Arguably, the real value in their site isn’t even the code, but the streamers and their dedicated viewers. Not to mention the brand recognition and amount of new viewers that stumble into their site daily through Twitch being so big.

    That’s why Youtube and the now defunct Beam/Mixer always try/tried to buy up individual streamers - its where the real value is.
