You can't cast to Chromecast (non-googleTV if that matters) from Firefox mobile, also pull to refresh doesn't work in browser, and they dont support push notifications for uploads. Revanced works great so I see no reason to switch, and it's based off of the official YouTube APK so you're only logging into Google play services, and you get the same native app experience you're used to with all the addons you'd get from browser extensions built in (adblock, shorts block, sponsorblock, return dislike, background play, etc.)

I don't think there's anything that YT in Firefox mobile can do that revanced can't, but revanced gives you cast support (through the official cast shim that supports CEC for pause, play, stop using the TV remote unlike doing screen mirroring of your phone where you can't use your phone for anything else while mirroring) and other niceties like notifications and one tap to newpipe player / download video file through newpipe. It's only a benefit to use revanced over the mobile web.

Doesn't jellyfin still lack auto detecting hardware acceleration settings? Setting up quicksync transcode in Plex meant just mapping /dev/dri and checking use hw acceleration + use hw accelerated encoding and it just works. In jellyfin, according to the documentation (I mean just look at the size of that page... I've spent hours poring over every section trying to get my setup to work), you have to pass in the render group id in addition to passing /dev/dri, run a command inside the container to check capabilities, then it just says to "enable qsv and uncheck unsupported codecs" without any guidance on how to match the output of the command with the codec list. I kept getting playback errors so I resorted to using the Linux server docker container and referencing the Wikipedia page for quicksync to enable the codecs my CPU should be able to handle with quicksync.

They sorely need to make it just work out of the box with a single enable check box and have the rest of the settings auto detected and hidden under advanced. At least it should add (not present) or grey out every hardware acceleration device not detected like amd/nvidia on my nuc that's just Intel, and the codecs should just auto set based on your hardware and show a warning if you enable something outside of the detected capabilities. I still can't get opencl tone mapping to work despite having the opencl linuxserver mod so I've just resorted to VPP, my jellyfin users can just deal with it if it doesn't look quite right.

Stuff like this really makes me want to switch to jellyfin, but I watch stuff from me and my friend groups libraries and Plex lets me search for shows across my entire friend group at once. I'm afraid I'll be waiting forever for jellyfin to allow federating servers so that [email protected] can share a library with [email protected] allowing Alice to browse red+blue instance content from their home instance UI instead of requiring an account with every instance.

I almost exclusively print functional things so here's my list of things I've designed or printed:

  • Tubular key to bypass paying for laundry
  • Furniture leg extensions on almost all my furniture to give minimum 4" clearance for the robovac
  • Custom mounting bracket / spacer for mounting road sign to the wall with command strips
  • Tapestry mounting shim to clamp tapestry in binder clips to hang on the wall without ripping the tapestry
  • Rubber band powered sandal holders that stick to the wall and clamp onto sandals which can be used without using your hands / while holding something (I needed to keep my basement sandals from being eaten by my old robovac and I needed to be able to put them on and put them back without needing to put down anything heavy I'm taking to/from the basement, and the space required it to be flat against the wall)
  • Replacement shelf pegs for bathroom shelves which are normally only sold in 20 packs for >5$ when I only needed 1, the print cost like 1c instead
  • Replacement D-slotted electrical box key since the one that came with the box broke
  • Backyard lamp holder that attaches to the fence pole and provides a loop to hang a lamp
  • Replacement side panel clip for my PC case which came with 1 broken - manufacturer doesn't sell replacements
  • Custom piece for 2 sectional couch legs to slot into which keeps the 2 halves of my couch from sliding apart causing someone to fall in between onto the floor

Some of this could have been bought online but having a 3D printer really reveals how overpriced plastic stuff is. I rarely print something that costs me more than a few dollars in filament - and that's if it's a very large object, it's easily less than the shipping cost of an equivalent item alone, and small things can often only be found in large packs online while usually costing only a couple cents to print. And plenty of the stuff I print benefits from being able to be made custom and to the exact dimensions I need, for example the furniture leg extensions I made fit perfectly on the furniture legs and raise them up exactly as high as they need to be for my robovac to go under, not a centimeter more. A whiteboard marker caddy I made holds the exact number of markers I have / want to have and attaches under a light switch wall plate which I designed in order to avoid needing to attach it with command strips or screws (it gets clamped between the wall plate and the wall by the existing light switch screws). The first item I listed, the tubular key, was printed with the exact bitting needed for the lock (layer height of 0.05mm is enough vertical resolution for the key to work).

Was also gonna say this since expensive gadgets weren't excluded. I played a bunch of VR minigolf over pandemic to socialize with my irl friends who I couldn't hang out with and these days VR has been the center of more than half of the social gatherings at my place where I demo games and we pass the headset around for everyone to try different stuff. Seeing new people try VR for the first time never gets old.

After watching a Jackson galaxy video on how to stop your cat from waking you up early, I followed the advice of never feeding immediately after getting up, and instead doing a certain activity first, like making coffee. After a month of taking a shower before feeding, my cat no longer makes any noise in the morning and only starts getting noisy when I step out of the shower. So thats a good tip for those who can't free feed. I also started collecting every toy and putting them in a secure box before bed since she has a tendency to chase toys around in the middle of the night and yelp with one in her mouth.

My roborock has been revolutionary for my apartments cleanliness. I've had it about 1.5 years and I've only emptied the dock's bag twice (I live in a small apartment). I have the water change kit so it auto refills the docks clean water tank from the laundry hookup and auto empties dirty mop water down the laundry room's drain. I only have to clean the sensors and rinse the drain screen every 2-3 weeks but otherwise it's on autopilot on a schedule and my floors are spotless and free of dust and cat fur.

That looks like an imax release, maybe the top/bottom black bars are on the Blu-ray it was ripped from to make it fit 16:9? Since it's a remux they shouldn't have touched it to remove the bars.

If they seamlessly integrate iMessage features with rcs then I would call it solved

ie if iPhone users can react to messages, include rcs users in group chats with iMessage users and all share HQ photos, send voice memos, and whatever else without missing any of the features because the other person is rcs or because one rcs person in a group chat causes the entire group chat to be downgraded, then the only remaining difference is the color of the bubble so the only people hating on green bubbles will be those who do it solely because of the color and not because of any loss of functionality, which I think would be so few people that it would be a non issue

Overseerr has been a game changer for my Plex/jellyfin which I share with 10+ friends and family. They submit tons of requests and it all automatically shows up on my nas without me needing to be bothered. I used to only download what I wanted and only take special requests and only for movies or completed series because I didn't want to be harassed every week for the latest episode. Now my recently aired row is a constant stream of new episodes aired that week and I get friends saying "oh I didn't know you had series x, now I don't need that streaming service" - it's not obvious to them still that I can get almost anything if they reauest it and overseer makes it so frictionless.
