On houses missing numbers: this is likely incomplete data in OSM and you could join the crowd to fix it. I recommend SCEE app, where you contribute by resolving questions nearby, earn points and compete. It’s actually fun :)

I really wanted to use something FOSS or at least non-adobe, but after a few hours gave up and bought a year subscription for Lightroom.

My use-case: on Android tablet I need a rating/flagging functionality with photo management. It just doesn’t exist outside of Lightroom unfortunately.

I use Darktable on Laptop. There is no iOS/Android version.

Open for suggestions if I missed something.

Language is not a region, see: https://kagifeedback.org/d/89-language-vs-region/31

It sea4ches in different languages, but there is no way to force language of the results. Instead, ot tries to be “smart” and uses languages of the region. So it has the same problem Google and Bing does: giving you results in random languages outside of language region (or in multi-lingual regions), even when request is explicitly in language A.

There is a feature request to implement this setting, but not much hope to have this soon.

On this note, if someone knows of a search engine that allows specifying language of results, please let me know :)

Much more coherent version, thank you for sharing.

Media will start comparing them to cheesburgers.

Thanks for clarification!

I have a Samsung TV (was not my choice), and it’s a hell for privacy, software is terrible.

Now it has no access to any network, all features that could be disabled are disabled. I use CCwGTV as an OS for my apps, but that could be any dongle or PC.

Still the case, got my B197 driving license last week in Bavaria. You have 10 lessons with manual as part of your education, then the rest + exam on automatic. B197 allows to drive both, B allows automatic only.

This piece of interview with Roger Corman on Joe Dante’s work on trailers is my fawourite:

"Were there any elements that you had to tell Dante to tone down?

Not really. There was one memorable moment when Joe showed me a trailer for a picture just before lunch. I said, “Joe, it’s alright, but it isn’t quite as exciting as I would like it to be.” He said, “Let me work on it through lunch.” I came back after lunch, and it was exactly the same trailer, trimmed a little bit, with an exploding helicopter. I said, “Joe, that’s an exploding helicopter from a war picture we shot in the Philippines!” He said, “Well, don’t you think it helps the trailer?” It did. It was great. And I thought about it for a little while, and I figured, there’s no law that says every scene in a trailer has to be in the picture. So we left it in. After that, whenever Joe had a dull moment in a trailer, he would add the exploding helicopter."

Could someone ELI5 how this works?

I just finished the docker containers setup with VPN - qbittorrent - sonarr/radarr/…arr - jellyfish and it’s not well automated yet, but quite safe and not too complicated to use.

Recently had to pay quite a settlement for being too clumsy and too lazy in my country, so worried how Stremio works and if it could leak.

Si ce we are on topic, is there a way to have DeArrow on mobile? (potentially I could install it on FF, but would prefer an app for YT).

Most people don’t care about ethics /politics or the networks and corporations. They will use what’s convenient — familiar facebook where friends and family already are, instagram where you get (this frustrates me the most) announcements from cool places about events, twitter where shitshtorms and instant news happen and so on.

None of my friends moved or know about Fediverse. Some heard about Mastodon.

This is a great work! Documentation is clear to a person not familiar with the topic (me). Will try that out and provide feedback, thank you!

Thanks for recommendation, didn’t know Mullvad discontinued port forwarding. That was a reason I chose them a year ago.

Now will tale a look at ProtonVPN and AirVPN as alternatives.

Your answer is amazing, you covered it all and so concise, that should be on FAQ :)

A few years ago OSMAnd for iOS was much more limited than Android version. Not sure how it is today though. If that’s still the case, could be just features are limited and app does less work.

Or it could be fast Apple processors, better rendering API or anything else.

Screenshot from OSMAnd on Pixel 7P for illustration

On the screenshot you see: vector offline map, 3d hill shadows, height countour lines, 3d view, many route layers, navigation and POIs rendered.

Pixel 7 Pro, using OpenGL, offline maps. All of my custom profiles are not smooth. It takes up to 2-3 seconds to render everything.

It’s still good. Considering how much useful information could be rendered in OSMAnd at once, I’m happy with what I have and hope for future improvements :)

Unconsciously adopted a Jadzia Dax’s thinking walk with hands holding behind back.

I would prefer russia to dissolve even further. It’s not just putin’s wars, it’s a systematic issue unresolved since before ww2.

So I would rather imagine what wonderful things Europe could do together with Ukraine (https://ukraineworld.org/articles/ukraine-explained/ukraine-space-7-things-worth-knowing) if russia wasn’t trying to conquer and control all neighbouring states.

F*ck russia.
