The reason could be that Trakt integrates with media server apps like Jellyfin or Plex, or apps like Kodi, and that you can thereby bring your watch history with you across apps and you don’t lose it if your server crashes, library is corrupted or something… I have never used it, but I’d imagine that’d be a reason to use it. If I knew of a libre alternative, I’d actually consider using it for Jellyfin.

No idea why, but I don’t see their comments anywhere in this thread. Thanks for confirming.

EDIT:

I found this metadata file, is that the one?

https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/blob/master/metadata/de.mm20.launcher2.release.yml

From the file:

MaintainerNotes: |- Kvaesitso uses several external APIs for search providers. Several of them require signing up to obtain a developer API key: gdrive search, openweathermap, HERE and Meteorologisk institutt. It’s not possible for users to provide these keys as explained here: https://github.com/MM2-0/Kvaesitso/issues/227#issuecomment-1366826219 If keys are not provided, these features are automatically disabled during the build.

core/shared/build.gradle.kts and plugins/sdk/build.gradle.kts have configurations in them for publishing artifacts to maven repos. They are not used during the build, but detected by F-Droid scanner anyway. We patch it out from core/shared/build.gradle.kts, since this module itself is still used in compilation, and delete plugins/sdk/build.gradle.kts because it’s not used in app compilation.

Kvaesitso depended on different libraries used for gdrive login in the past that pulled GMS dependency, however it’s not the case anymore:

https://github.com/MM2-0/Kvaesitso/issues/583#issuecomment-1775268896 The new libraries pull OpenTelemetry though, but it’s unclear if it’s used (considering gdrive integration is disabled).

Max heap size is reduced in gradle.properties to avoid gradle daemon being killed by OOM manager.

Older versions of Kvaesitso had onedrive integration that depended on non-whitelisted maven repos, but it was removed.

Upstream provides an fdroid flavor, however there’s no difference with default flavor except for different versionName.

For some reason, F-Droid fails to pick up the correct gradle version from distributionUrl if subdir is used.

It seems to be the case that F-Droid removes gdrive and onedrive in their build. Though, there seem to be no mentions of Wikipedia.

I’m a happy user of this one, for about a year today.

This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service

When viewing the app in F-Droid, the note below this part tells, that it uses a third-party service for currency exchange rates.

I don’t know if the fact that it can show Wikipedia results, and that you can connect it to your Google account (to show cloud files from Drive and such in the search results) plays a role too, but it isn’t specifically mentioned under the anti-features… On a sidenote, searching your own Owncloud or Nextcloud is supported too.

Like a fridge or kitchen appliance that rejects foods from your local store, your neighbours’ or your own produce… Pretty useless.

I just tried this on an Ultra.cc seedbox with yt-dlp installed, and the Fintube plugin configured to the right path for that, yet when I go to Dashboard > Fintube and click the Submit button to add a video to the download, nothing happens. Can’t figure out what’s wrong.

Maybe Jellyfin doesn’t have the necessary write permissions to write the file to that folder, but I’m not quite sure how to change those on such a seedbox, if that’s the case.

Any experience with this to share? Would the Submit button usually lead to a different view, or does it just stay on that video submission screen while the download happens silently in the background? The lack of action I experience when clicking it feels a bit awkward…

I found this site, pakphones.com with a link for the US730. Right now, unfortunately, cloudflare can’t reach the ul.to host, but if you haven’t tried this one, one could hope it actually works some day.

I also found a (possibly dead) link at this site, lg-firmwares.com, though it’s cookie, captcha and waiting time protected, and the download doesn’t begin for me right now…

Your search string also lead me to this forum thread, where I found a relevant filename to look for: LG730ZV8_05.S8_00.P61009.cab

This lead me back to the pakphones blog, where I found these (possibly dead) links to relevant files on this page:

You have probably already seen all or most of this, but maybe there’s some missing puzzle piece somewhere in this information?

Note: the .cab files mentioned in this post are not URLs, even though (at least my) Lemmy client formats them as that.

Now, that’s a great list with a lot of my preferred software on it – almost as had I written it myself! Good work. Keep it up.

Right, most animals can only zoo!

I guess that’s the big game …

You have the option to spoof/fake/mock it manually with an app. This one, it seems, even has some available add-ons for mocking UnifiedNlp data and more…)

Mock my GPS (mock the GPS and Network location providers) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.warren_bank.mock_location/

Mock my GPS UnifiedNlp Backend (mock the GPS and Network location providers) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.warren_bank.mock_location.service.microg_nlp_backend/

Mock Silently (mock the GPS and Network location providers) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.warren_bank.mock_location.silently/

Possibly you’ll have to enable dev options and set the location spoofing app in there. At least, I remember seeing the option in there, but that was years ago.

Vierenveertig vliegjen en een goudvis in de pinderkaas op de lul in een konijntjenaaimachine!

Just curious – which app is that? Seemingly not Eternity, as I’m using that, and you do not appear purple in here, but I’m always interested in exploring alternatives to the apps I’m using.

I was just looking at the GL.iNet Flint 2 (GL-MT6000), since it was recommended in a thread on the OpenWRT forum, and thought about possibly getting that one. Is that the one that bricked, or was it an earlier product of the Flint-series of routers?

Remember to turn off their sunlight too!

And while we’re at it, let’s cut the wind off at their property as well, so they can’t generate any local wind power!

And definitely take away their fruits and zinc and copper, so they can’t build their own massive multi-lemon batteries, which they will otherwise rapidly upscale by growing even more lemons, using the same array of lemon-powered LEDs that also grew that weed, all in an infinite loop of lemon kush! We really can’t let that happen.

Or they received a USB cable, which they later used to transfer pirated files, in an envelope… Remove their mailbox! (Or force every postal service person to ignore it…)

Could very well be an eSIM …

by plugging in a HDD I can only record a channel if I’m watching it and not record one channel while watching another

That actually makes sense if we’re talking DVB-[C, S or T] channels received through an internal hardware tuner. A tuner can only tune in on one frequency at once. To record one channel while watching another, it would need to have two internal tuners, which isn’t very common and, I’d say, not something to expect unless specifically advertised.

Also it has developed a fault where it basically shits its self every couple of weeks and the picture pixelates. It needs to be unplugged for a week and plugged back in.

Warranty?

I had a similar experience, and didn’t realize it until I read your comment here. Thanks for sharing!
