If it is WebDAV, DAVx5 has a feature that makes those shares available as a local volume. An sFTP app can be used to xfer files.

TrueNAS probably has a service for synchronized folders like google drive. I don't know how to access NFS or SMB transparently.

Well, I just ripped a few of my old DVDs with handbrake, and I upscaled by setting the resolution to 720p and ensuring the "upscale" cjljeckbox is ticked.

Tovmy eye, it looks pretty good on my 55" 1080p TV, and I noticed in my voddeo player it scaled to my display size appropriately. If I imply ripped it, the video would have a hugee black box around it ony high red display.

I'd say using handbrake is fairly effective once you get it off the disk, for which I used a rip to mkv app in Linux.

Thanks for enumerating the counter points. I'm immediately turned off by his vocal style, but I can look past that long enough to evaluate the content.

I have two big issues with it:

  • His assertions lack references to supporting evidence
  • his political allegiance gives me pause

I will check out his content more before I write him off.

It appears the android client he used is Cheogram, which I use. It is forked from Conversations, and is excellent. JMP.CHAT maintains it, and pretty much supports all of the xmpp standards. Including gateways to phone PBX, SMS, and Matrix.

They and sopranica offer fully compliant servers, including self hosting.

Perhaps the curator is running a red herring with the intention or blocking liberal media?

Glad to see it. Is anybody else having trouble with the space bar writing "v" or "c" instead if space? It seems I have to be focused on hitting the bar near the bottom for it to work.

This is my view. I went the privacy route. The result is the addictiveness of the service went way down. For me, that's a win.

There are other ways to give us content we might like. For example, have a list of topics and categories we can select. This reduces invasiveness while providing some benefit.

The problem is that does not give Google what it wants out of the relationship.

Lower level languages are definitely helpful in learning how computers work. When I was in college, I was not taught C, but our algorithms course was in C. We were expected to learn it on our own.

lisp and Prolog were used for AI - those we learned in class. Assembly was the ultimate "get intimate with the machine" language, and we wrote a simple compiler for VMS.

All of this is meant to help us understand how to work with machines. It doesn't mean that that's how we should work with machines. Sometimes the higher level language is the better choice. Sometimes it is not. We are expected to make that decision based on the situation at hand.

Vs code fits the bill as a good cross platform .NET IDE. It is also a really good Standalone text editor.

I'm curious - why use a VM ? What is the context here? Are you using a Linux phone and need Android apps to fill gaps, or are you running this in a laptop and use Android in some way I don't understand?

I second the vote for cheogram. As for the pending conversations ui overhaul, of which I know nothing, that should automatically transfer over to cheogram once it goes public. Cheogram extends conversations, wndci don't think they changed ui code.

Don't have to imagine. Change your metaphor from hammer to car, and you're experiencing it in realtime.

Actuallyz the intended use of work profile is for... Work. You don't want the corporate VPN to be Tue phone-wid3 VPN - do you?

The design is logical. Since we are all misusing it, I think it would be useful to be able to toggle a "share VPN" switch.
