Not German but moved to Germany. The word is still a normal word, it can be used, only in certain contexts not.

To me it is very very weird.

Especially in a comboword there is 0,0 issue: Reiseführer, Bergführer, etc. The no go zone seems very subtle to me, it’s more about pronunciation and context, not the word itself. Especially the word “Führerschein” is super weird to me when used in regular conversations. I automatically hear translated “license to be the Führer”, but it just means driver’s license and nothing else and no one finds it weird.

The lowest earners making the company work aren’t mentioned here. It’s probably an external company cleaning the toilets, for hourly rates you probably don’t want to know.

I’m just replying so I’ll find your comments back easily in a few days

Yes. But trump isn’t sending thousands of soldiers every week to die in the meat grinder… yet.

Main reason it can flourish as assistant in the first place is that Google search engine became shit

There are open existing databases you can contribute to.

Musicbrainz for music Thetvdb.com for shows Themoviedb.org for movies

The shittiest apps come pre-installed.

Happened before. Soviet Union Vs. Afghanistan Mujahedeen was an absolute disaster for Soviets and sped up the decline of Warsaw pact.

Pi works fine for trying and if you only want to stream 1 thing at a time in 720p. Just try it.

If it somewhat works but you find it slow, buy an old SFF office computer < 50 € and experiment further… Either pay close attention which integrated GPU it has or buy a cheap PCI videocard with it.

That’s because they are big mechanical whirring machines. Solar panels are dead quiet and don’t throw intermittent shade and have a very low risk of causing damage in the surrounding. There’s good reasons they are forbidden for the average household to put on top of the chimney…

Musicbrainz Picard, there is no better user friendly solution.

Yes, it can seem like a lot of work, but you can also look at the flip side: you can learn a whole lot about the music you like in the process.

If music metadata is missing for stuff you have and like, add it to musicbrainz yourself. No, it isn’t particularly fun, but someone has to do it. I do it sometimes for more “local” albums of which I own the physical record or CD.

If shit is really messed up and you have a historic collection of mp3s from back in the days when getting a full album took a long time: don’t be scared to throw stuff out and source it again. It’ll likely be much higher quality for same or smaller filesize and have better metadata from source already, which makes using musicbrainz a lot easier. And what took many hours back then takes seconds to minutes now.

The only thing I’m looking/waiting for is a jellyfin audio player that automatically goes to full screen visualisation or lyrics after a determined amount of seconds of music playing + no user inputs… Wish I could do it myself and contribute to the project, but alas.

How cool would it be to out of nowhere see Valve come out with a SteamPhone based on Arch which does everything you ever hoped for and runs on high quality hardware including all the features that others took away (colour alert pixel, 3,5mm jack, replaceable battery), complete with dual boot or a containerised Android-mode for running apps that would never work like banking or eID. Would buy instantly.

Some people are getting very very rich from the ongoing war. There are now definitely strong forces at play to keep it going as long as possible, without a victory for any side.

Yeah sad they’re stopping it. I used it to easily access all services when not home… Jellyfin, audio bookshelf, dashboards, nextcloud… All worked rather well on it with very little effort (just had to turn the meshnet feature off and on again on phone once in a while). I don’t think there is any other company offering anything as simple as this was…

I don’t know about yunohost, but dietpi doesn’t feel restrictive. You can use the dietpi software manager, but you can also install whatever else you want next it using apt, docker, etc, adjust systemd, Cron, rsync etc outside of it. They just don’t guarantee they might sometimes break a thing you run outside of what they offer when you run dietpi updates?

+1 Dietpi on an old SFF office computer runs extremely smooth. Fiddled with Rpi too first… The few Watts lower energy use aren’t worth the hassle, old SFF’s offer so many (future) options while still getting really low idle power usage

Focus your resources to keep seeding near dead items, more local/regional/obscure things. 1 seed more or less on a 150 swarm of a very popular, new item doesn’t matter as much as being (almost) the only one left.

Bicycle road rage does exist, between road bikers and regulars, between fast electric and regulars and in general because plenty assholes do also ride bicycles if the infrastructure is good enough.

Other than that, all valid points!
