xmpp and syncthing

There is also zlibrary.

Buy something used. My Logitech mono still works after 25 years.

You will likely get good infos about good cheap Linux compatible wheels as well.

I just use my toothbrush after cleaning the teeth with the leftover paste still on it. Works well for me and is also said to hinder the spread of viruses in some kind of manner, at least I think I read this on the news some time ago.

I also used the backside of the brush for this but my method seems more effective to me, I would like to see a study about this.

No, push always leaks metadata to Google. Use molly (signal fork on fdroid) and unified push instead.

I’ve got this setup on my car stereo (android based): Cheap numpad from alibaba with mechanical keys (around 10 Euros) T9 keyboard app from fdroid. Types in addresses into comaps way faster and safer than the screen keyboard and can navigate my mp3 folders easily to play music.

I’ve seeded on a router from 2013 with 128 mb ram. Transmission client runs on openwrt. It was running all the time as an access point anyways I think using around 4 watts of power. 128 mb of ram was cutting it rather close and I had to add a swap file but the system was running stable. If you have an old router compatible with openwrt and an USB port to add an external hdd you can build yourself a very cheap and power efficient seedbox.I think the xiaomi mir3g has the same chipset at double the ram. Those can be bought for around 15-20 Euros used in my region.

Rockbox runs on apple ipods. Best thing to do is always buying a device compatible with open source software if you plan to use it fir years on end.

I bought one of those used for my daughter a couple of years ago. It was quite the hassle to replace the apple firmware win with rockbox, but it’s been working well since then. It’s copy and paste mp3s now instead of using apples spying bloatware just to get a few files onto the device. The battery is not great but still lasts a couple of hours after 15(?) years.

I’ve never heard of this tool. Is this basically lutris for windows?

I don’t know why this gets downvoted. Xmpp is my solution as well. Lightweight, selfhostable and federated, it’s just a great solution. Briar is good as well and probably one of the best solutions if your are an activist/journalist. But it will eat your battery as all p2p solutions will. Is you host your own xmpp server at home, that’s really as secure as it will get imho.

I don’t understand why you would even stream anything at all. You don’t even need a separate device nowadays to carry around a very large library of music (mps3 or even flacs).

I just opened the page without adblocking – that brings back even more memories. And yes, the desktop strippers are still a thing, and now they dance on the entire website, not only in an add-window!

It always looked like you would catch at least one Trojan per download, but it’s the real deal if you are looking for cracked game.exes or at least it was back in the day.

There is also bcl on fdroid, requires no dongle but root access, as it just changes some lines in a config file on the root partition.

Ps3 pads can be bought very cheaply used. I replaced the battery on mine (they are to old in most pads today), but did not bother doing it for the kids pads. They work well enough with a USB cable connection.

Get one that is supported by valetudo. The software lets supported vacuum robots run locally, without the need to connect to cloud services. It integrates well with home assistant too.

As a bonus my roborock now talks like glados from portal.

A cop on the mailing list could mean: A: They are a costumer

If you are on the usa or Canada, you can use jmp.chat as an alternative. It provides a phone number via the xmpp protocol. It might be possible to set up on your own server as well, have a look here:

Consider undervolting cpu and gpu and you will be able to get away with a leaner psu. I always do this and there really is no downside if you overclock the gpu a little to compensate for the undervolting. Your system will run cooler as well often stopping cpu/gpu from throttling down, so with a bit of luck you can even gain performance while saving on power. It depends on the cpu/gpu combo, but you can expect to save around 50 Watts under full load with both components properly undervoltet.

Here’s a very good guide for undervolting your gpu under windows, it’s meant for nvidia gpus but the process is very similar with amd gpu’s and/or under linux.
