Been waiting for this.. current matrix if you try to join a popular server (eg. the one it suggests joining when you first install element) it completely buries the server, then element times out and crashes. Apparently the 1.0 protocol tries to download the entire channel history.

v2.0 is supposed to fix this, so worth trying to install it again.

It was broken down into individual elements, IIRC.. found it..

Meat Lover -> No Beef alone is 3.3 -> 1.7, or 80% of the saving you get by going vegetarian (so I was slightly misremembering on my original post).

It's only illegal in the UK in London (wierd exception, imo). On other places it's down to local byelaws (our local council states that a car must allow enough space for a wheelchair to pass for example, although it's rarely enforced).

PIty it isn't broken down by type.. I've seen similar research that suggests that beef accounts for a good 90% of the footprint of a meat eater. That's important because you might be able persuade a few people to shift their diet to only vegetables but a whole lot more would be OK with just giving up beef.

Google are pretty strict about background operating these days.. you don't get on the play store with that permission without a manual review and they want a evidence that it's necessary. OTOH they're upfront about it - you can get the review during the open testing stage, and it's valid for all versions.

Apple wait until you try to release, reject the app then ask for justification, which delays release and is a general PITA (although I find the apple system pretty much a test of patience anyway.. it all depends who you get, and whether they actually read any of the notes you give them).

My theory is Google etc. focus on cameras so much because reviewers are media people that take a lot of videos and photos.. if you want a good review you ship a good camera.

Meanwhile all I want to see as an ordinary user is battery life, size and weight. If I take a photo it's going on facebook (Well, more like mastodon these days) and any camera phone made in the last 10 years is fine.

IMO nothing beats the Nvidia TV and I've tried just about everything. Heck, I'm still rocking a 2017 on my main TV (lacks Dolby Vision/Atmos and AI Upscaling but is otherwise fine).

The non-Pro seems to have issues that affect 4k decoding in plex but never seen similar issues on a Pro (I think packing the internals into that small tube was a mistake, and it's overheating, but that's just a guess).

There's some hope Nvidia will come out with a next gen but people have been hoping (and spreading rumours about) that for years.. until there's an official announcement I wouldn't expect it. They continue to support software upgrades though.

Indeed I've never even installed the hue app, always assumed it was just a zigbee thing anyway. The hardware is just a basic zigbee bulb.

Mostly I've been moving to using the ikea ones though as they're much cheaper.

In many countries it's not lawful to spoof a number you don't own, and VOIP providers simply won't let you do it (without sufficient proof of ownership, and a lot of the smaller ones just block such things completely). The phone system is fine and contains to tools to stop this, it's the laws that need fixing.

You could always spoof numbers even back in the analogue days through a primary rate interface but they're expensive and becoming less common... and again illegal to do in many cases.

Of course some random provider in the back of nowhere can still do that kind of thing and you can't really stop it, except for preventing numbers coming from overseas that don't have the right country code (I think this is done in many places now.. it used to be I'd get overseas spam calls that looked local but haven't seen any for a while).

It could do.. apparently live donors are about 30% of transplants now. In those cases it's not a huge extra step to get some bone marrow.

Good summary.. had a quick read and I use containers the same way (mostly proxmox these days because it makes them so easy, but it's just lxc under the hood).

I share your dislike of docker-only apps. Lemmy is a good example.. the 'from scratch' install didn't work at all for me and the ansible script just creates docker images..

I work around it by nesting docker in an lxc container for such apps. Keeps them contained in one place.. easier to manage. I have a proxmox template with docker installed (& my base network setup) so it only takes a couple of minutes to spin up.
