I'll fuckin bet someone came out singing ! Why do we allow this to continue to happen to penny shareholders? And workers alike.

Now, a Sony Bravia - what size and price may I ask ? And how difficult is it to remove all the shit ad functionality from it ?

I've had my 32" for like 8 years but definately looking for the same quality piece of kit.

Excellent! Glad you found what you wanted - I'll bookmark this for when I have to replace my trusty Bravia! 👍

Try this in the 'do it yourself' group. It's got some great users and advice.

Good luck.

I'm dreading replacing my dumb tv, but can confirm that the nvidia shield was the best thing I ever bought for entertainment: just sideload your apps and off you go.

Take the cable out of the tv, plug it into your android box and hdmi to the tv.

Can recommend STN, cloudstream and plex.

Good luck.

Great advice and thanks for taking the time.

For what it's now worth, this has been my way so far (which by the sound of it may be why I'm unsuccessful): load kindling, one log and a couple of firelighters, light fire, keep control open and also door.

Close door after 3-4 mins, wait until log is burnt on one side then turn it over, wait until its burnt through then add another log then repeat turn and refill.

Not getting chance to watch tv properly as I'm constantly watching the fire!

Do you find any type of log better than others?

Thanks again for the advice.

Thaks for the oxyclear tip and yeah, loading the fire up initially is something I struggle with - it stays in our it goes out. I'll try that loading fashion - cheers.

Hi, on f-droid there's an app called Android Samba Client but I can't get it to connect to my shared folder because of permissions - it says, but I can't find a lot of documentation about it.

Have you seen this?

I'm hoping that it's not connecting because of something I'm doing wrong - and maybe I can figure it out later (poss. because of my lack of understanding on my part of the way plex should share permissions with other devices).

If you get anywhere further, please let me know. - it just doesn't seem to be a well covered topic unfortunately.

Yeah, sorry - I misunderstood you. The link is good, thanks for providing it. Some of it is a little above my head, but when I look at X-plore and my plex server I can see in the properties that it's using smb V2 to connect.

So, I guess the means of permanently having a remote drive connected for Android to access isn't a pipe dream. It's now just figuring out the best way to achieve it.

So, I'll try to explore some of that links info and see if I can get anywhere with it.

Thanks again for taking the time.

Never heard of that special. Thanks for the correction though.

I'm just having a pick at the fashion of overly botoxed lips.

I'm thinking maybe mount as you say using Xplore and bring in Syncthing to move the file across onto the server. Thanks for the idea.

 

I downloaded fedilab from fdroid and it looks on the surface as though it can access instances of the fediverse as well as lots of other stuff - like I can see lemmy.world and lemmy.ml but not lemmy.ee but I'm not sure how to see individual communities - unless there's a post I can see to follow.

So my basic understanding of all this - coming from reddit, is that these instances all federate together - as one, so to speak.

I'm just getting a little confused here. So can anyone explain just how this piece of software works please?

Thanks.

 

What's the best functioning music streaming app for the tv - I'm currently using vi, but are there any others? I'd prefer ones that don't need a mouse to function properly.

 

I read that garlic pressed hard by the back of a knife releases oils, but then some recipes just say to chop. Are there any preferred ways or does it depend on the dish being cooked?

 

Trying to setup obtainium and I'm forgetting just where I got some of my apps from. Does anyone know if I can get a list of all the apps that I've installed by repo? This could be just a way to achieve this or an app itself - not too fussed, but I feel updating my foss apps is getting on top of me. Thanks.

 

I have my calibre synced from pc to Nextcloud and use the android app to link them together.

I mostly read reference books - recipes, photography, history - so I don't need, or have the space to keep the books on my mobile phone.

This works great however, what I'd really like to do is read my books without having to download them first.

I guess I'm looking for a lazy approach to reading my reference books without storing them all on my phone.

Anyone have any different approaches that I can learn from?

 

Is there a way to cast from my phone to a first gen chromecast without using mobile data? I thought I could do this by downloading films to my phone and then stream to cc, but it seems to throttle my tethering data.

So I'm not sure if I'm understanding the way this works: I thought it would just cast from phone to tv - but it's using huge chunks of data for small films and my plan is limited.

Any advice on this or better ways to do this?
