Not OP but I’m curious about one thing I personally miss with kate.

Do you know if it is possible with kate to keep temporary text files open after closing the program the same way notepad++ can?

Oh it definetely is a bit hacky.

At one point I tried using home assistant to automatically turn my tv and stereo on or off depending on the state of the chromecast but that didn’t really work consistently unfortunately.

My solution is far from ideal but it works for me.

I have a Chromecast connected to my TV which outputs to my stereo system. Power to TV and stereo are controlled via smart plugs that I can quickly toggle when I want to stream music.

The good thing: It works.

The bad things:

• You have to connect navidrome to symfonium using the IP address and not a hostname when using a basic chromecast since that one has a hardcoded dns server. The Chromecast with google TV allows setting a dns server yourself but you loose software volume control through your phone.
• No volume control except directly on the stereo system. This wasn’t an issue with the basic chromecast but it is now with the better one…
• For some reason some songs crash the casting to the chromecast. Again this wasn’t an issue on the cheap Chromecast for some stupid reason

Please for the love of god, someone go and build an electric car that is as dumb as possible

yt-dlp supports downloading playlists. By using the --archive option it can save all downloaded video ID’s into a text file and will only download videos which are not in that file.

I wrote a docker container with a friend that uses that mechanism to auto download new videos every time it is triggered using cron. The configuration is a bit rough though and there is no gui so if this supports that part as well I might switch.

Did you ever find out what the books name was?

Very late reply and not from the person you originally asked but personally I really liked the series.

It’s definetely young adult oriented and has a strong romance focus though so if you don’t like that you may want to stay away from it

This is missing at least Bosch, probably some other brands I can’t remember right now. That would ruin the 4 houses association though…

Sometimes they have it written on the clockface. I don’t think that’s a general rule though.

In the same way there are digital clocks that can be wrong too though.

There are radio controlled clocks which theoretically shouldn’t be wrong. At least as long as there isn’t a battery or motor issue…

Honestly that’s just about being used to one versus the other. For me it’s basically the other way around

My first thought was “yes”, my second thought was “actually, maybe not?” and my third thought was reading the word clockwise in another comment which would need to be replaced with another word to indicate direction around an axis and its opposite

Not sure if that’s the kind of device you are asking about but kobo e-readers run Linux. It’s allowed me to sideload my books over SFTP instead of always having to plug in a USB cable

I’m not sure about how this works in kodi but in jellyfin the client might request a different resolution which causes the server to try and reencode the provided file on the fly. In my case my server isn’t fast enough for this which leads to constant buffering

I believe my thinkpad E590 which I bought in 2019 already had captive screws. Still a 10 year difference at least

There’s little physical movement or location variety

That’s the main reason I switched from computer science to electrical engineering with a focus on embedded software. Programming microcontrollers to achieve something tangible is a lot more satisfying for me than writing some application that only runs on my pc to shuffle some bits around

I believe it sometimes works based on when the book was published for some reason and that newer books may have a better DRM protection against this method

I managed to do it somehow without a kindle but it was an absolute pain in the ass. For my first few books I had to download then using a specific old version of the kindle desktop app so that calibre was able to remove the encryption. Apparently the encryption used by the newer kindle desktop app is different.

For my next books that suddenly wasn’t enough and I had to use an old android app version in an emulator and get the books out of the hidden app storage using adb.

I’m never buying an ebook of amazon again if I can avoid it

Not the person you replied to but that’s it

I don’t know if you were aware of this but K-9 Mail has joined up with the thunderbird developers and will at some point transition to thunderbird for mobile devices
