I’m gonna go with unlikely.

I’ve even experienced this in the 3D printing community, where I design a highly parametric model and put lots of effort into making all of the major dimensions and qualities parameterized and dynamically adjustable, with lots of bounds checking and value clamping, with all the parameters at the top of my scad file with comments explaining what each variable does.

And then someone comes along to remix my model, says I don’t want to install openscad, and just scales the entire output stl to change the dimensions, squashing all the features of the model in the process (instead of having the size gracefully adjust with all the features moving around to account), and leaving anybody starting from their work with a hard to remix mesh with no parameters.

Thank goodness it’s in HDR

Lemmy really needs pixelfed’s naive bayes spam detection, it would be able to easily classify the new accounts after classifying one post as spam, then it would be 0 seconds wasted.

I’m gonna rcm my switch now and copy my animal crossing island to my PC to be emulated. Shoulda done that a long time ago to have a backup that I actually own instead of having to pay Nintendo to keep my save data backed up. I see no reason to play any more Nintendo games on my switch, much less purchase any more when I have my steam deck.

I’m pretty sure I was able to use the Google account phone backup (I think it’s called Google one) to restore apps, home screen, and other things since I’m not committed to degoogling yet. I guess flashing gapps brings the cloud backup section into the android settings and that’s been super useful. It reinstalls apps from play store and supposedly includes app data, sms/MMS, and device settings, though i remember always having to re log into a bunch of apps still.

I think there’s also a local transfer wizard when doing the first time setup after flashing but I can’t remember what the compatibility is for that or whether you need gapps to get that option.

I just go with lineage on every phone. It’s easier to already be on lineage when security updates stop instead of reaching that point and then having to reset my phone and jump ship to stay updated.

My old Pixel 2 had been out of official security updates for a long time and Google only guaranteed security updates to pixel 5 until last year. I’ll probably still be on pixel 5 for a few more years since every new one past that seems to be even bigger.

Prowlarr has torrentlite as one of the domain options under the rarbg indexer. I guess they use a common profile for all the rarbg clones since they use similar html structure. You just add rarbg and then switch the base URL to torrentlite in the options for it.

This is awesome. I pretty much agree with all the ideal specs aside from preferring rear fingerprint sensors. I used to have the Pixel 2 (5" display) and it was pretty much my ideal phone, sadly it just kept getting buggier and buggier as apps got updated and it wasn’t able to run the latest lineage as smoothly. Really disappointing as I had also just gotten accustomed to opening it up to replace the battery and do other repairs myself so maintaining it indefinitely wouldn’t have cost me much as long as parts continued to be available.

I think they do this to game people who use the “rebuy” button without shopping around again. Several times I’ve bought a consumable and when I go back, the exact listing j bought from has doubled in price while many other listings are normal. That’s why I never use the “buy again” section, and if I can afford to wait I’ll find a lower or comparable price on eBay, and hope they aren’t just drop shipping me from a cheaper listing that I didn’t find on Amazon.

If it’s just videos you want, you can try using network inspector to see if you can catch the url of the file - assuming giving the url of the video’s webpage to youtube-dl along with a snapshot of your browsers logged in cookies doesn’t work. You might also see an m3u8 in the network inspector, which you can also give the url of to youtube-dl and it’ll download all the segments and merge them into a video file (you might also need auth cookies or headers unless it’s a temporary url which can work anywhere, just check the network request to see what’s sent). Some sites do separate m3u8 for video and audio or multiple ones for different video qualities, so you might need to change the quality to maximum for the browser to request the high quality stream url. You might also see a file requested that just lists the urls for m3u8s of each quality. If you see a vtt file then you can also grab that, convert to an srt, and remux with mkvtoolnix to embed it into the file as an optional subtitle.

This should all work as long as they don’t use drm / widevine type stuff and as long as they don’t have some supremely annoying security measures (like using authenticated urls that are one time use so by the time your browser shows it in the network inspector the url is expired or something). Otherwise for widevine you’ll need to do some kind of screen / HDMI capture type setup.

Yep, and even if they managed to block indexers, you can always open up any torrent client with DHT search and find torrents in a fully distributed and P2P way. I used to have magnetico crawling DHT and connected to my *arrstack as a backup so it’s pretty straightforward to not rely on any central blockable website for torrents.
