Is OsmAnd subscription/purchase worth it?
  • Somewhat off-topic: those who are just looking for a decent navigation app based on OSM with a much smoother rendering than OSMAnd, try "Organic Maps", it's amazing.

  • Amazon adds AI-generated review summaries so you don’t have to read the comments
  • Depending on what you mean by "AI", this bot doesn't fit the criteria. It works by extracting and ranking sentences and does not apply a LLM.

  • Question about Proton
  • Strange, I've had little problems with Space Engineers and protondb mostly seems to agree.

  • Being flashbanged by my fingerprint sensor
  • *most pixels

    The 4XL had the best face detection in the industry, employing an additional infrared camera with its own invisible light.

  • Question about Proton
  • Apex works flawlessly, without having to do any manual tweaking.

    Afaik there is a patched wine version that still lets you play LoL, but with Fortnite you're sol.

  • Research repository arXiv receives $10M for upgrades
  • Great to hear! ArXiv is such an important resource if you're in anything IT-related

  • Help setting up a minimal fast QEMU KVM Tool
  • If your guest OS is Linux, you can use Virgl to get much better OpenGL performance in the VM.

  • Ardour 8.1 Open-Source DAW Improves Launchpad Pro Support, Fixes Bugs
  • Anyone here who uses this regularly? I've been using FL Studio for the past 10 years, how does ardour fare in comparison?

  • What are some small minor things that annoy you in movies ?
  • You clearly haven't met a real alcoholic yet.

  • DaVinci Resolve Support
  • Afaik the free version has no support for h264 whatsoever on Linux. I think you will have to transcode.

  • ‘It’s the same daily misery’: Germany’s terrible trains are no joke for a nation built on efficiency
  • So tired of this uninformed bashing honestly.

    But while we're at it: There are some coal-powered trains still in service in Germany, though mostly as attractions. Example: https://www.hsb-wr.de/

  • ‘It’s the same daily misery’: Germany’s terrible trains are no joke for a nation built on efficiency
  • Slowly and with lots of unplanned breaks in between.

    I've never understood why people think that anyways - if you've ever had the pleasure of interacting with German bureaucracy, you would have lost that view instantly.

  • PipeWire 1.0 RC2 Released With Fixes, Improved Rate Switching
  • There's an open issue somewhere on GitHub (Valve's CS2 repo), it seems to be an issue with SDL, which Counter Strike uses to interface with pipewire. Afaik no one is quite sure why the delay builds up, but it doesn't seem like an issue with pipewire itself.

  • PipeWire 1.0 RC2 Released With Fixes, Improved Rate Switching
  • I wonder if the rate switching will change anything for those of us who like to have their sample rate at 48k and currently suffer from gradually growing audio delay in CS2.

  • What do you do when you're hungover?
  • My go-to is vegetable broth in addition to regular water. And ibuprofen if the headache is unbearable.

  • Egypt warned Israel days before Hamas struck, US committee chairman says
  • If you're not joking:

    Pretty sure that comment was in relation to Israel and the US, not Hamas and Egypt.

  • Eine Nacht im „Tierwohl“-Stall
  • Schuld, würde ich sagen, ist der Betreiber des Stalls und die Angestellten, die diese Zustände verursachen und mittragen.

  • US shoots down Turkish drone as Turkey bombs Kurdish forces in Syria, Iraq
  • Who upvotes this trash? Zero comments but 10+ upvotes on a garbage opinion piece by one of the most biased sources there is?

    I mean, come on, whatever side of the issue you're on, pretending the PKK is just a workers party is ludicrous.

  • Will the world ever stop being anti-intellectual?
  • While I don't agree with OP's view that the world as a whole is anti-intellectual, I also wouldn't assume that these people don't exist at all. I've personally had interactions with people who thought less of me or others for having a higher level of education, and (at least overtly) not in the sense that they were jealous. It was more of a general antipathy against people who know things / enjoy to learn, because they saw them as arrogant etc.

    But this is probably more an example of tribalism.

    www.spiegel.de Beim Baden in Tiroler See: Österreicher überfährt deutschen Rentner mehrfach mit Tretboot

    Ein Tretbootfahrer und dessen Begleiter haben sich offenbar einen Spaß daraus gemacht, einen deutschen Rentner im Tiroler Rheintaler See zu attackieren. Der konnte sich nur mit letzter Kraft ans Ufer retten.

    Feature request: double tap to zoom images

    When an image is opened in the image viewer, it would be great to be able to double tap and pull down / up to zoom in / out as is the case in many other apps, at least on Android.

    This would make using the app with one hand much handier.

    Edit: to clarify, I don't mean the existing gesture which zooms by a fixed amount after double tapping. I would like to be able to hold the second tap and then pull up or down to manually zoom out or in.

    What is your offsite backup solution?

    Right now, I have around 20TB of data in redundant ZFS mirrors, so I am somewhat protected against any single drive failing. Critical data is backed up at various cloud providers, but that's only a few gigs of all my data.

    Looking at S3 pricing, It seems rather unfeasible to back up my data there or on the other "big" cloud providers, as it would cost me around $180 with AWS or half of that with backblaze.

    How and where do you guys back up your data?
