It seems like it was uploaded to Dailymotion eleven years ago. I'm looking for this very specific live performance. I could simply run my copy of it through a resolution increasing algorithm, but I thought I'd ask here first. :)

I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to go to the ball with me ๐Ÿค“

And also, do you happen to know a way to remove the leftover "artifact" after having removed Samsung's Honeyboard? Just installed Heliboard as part of my degoogling processs and it's GREAT.

Rooted Samsung Galaxy S23
One UI 7.0
Android 15
Keyboards: Heliboard and Simeji

I'm auctioning off ~~out/away (? Non native speaker ๐Ÿ˜…)~~ my old-ish gaming consoles and this person is asking about a unit's serial number. Why? I mean, I put up more than ten images of the console from various angles and such... What's the significance?

I implore you not to advise me to ditch the phone for Pixel. That's a topic for another day. This post is about how far I can push the limits on an inherently spyware riddled Samsung. I use the Play Store for USB Audio Player (paid) and an electronic ID app required to do most payment and government related tasks here. I am not logged into Google or Samsung. Here are my apps, which I manage with Obtainium:

I have blocked most internal trackers and "dangerous" permissions/app ops with the AppManager. I have also removed all the safe and some expert level stuff with Universal Android Debloater. Any and all constructive advice is welcome! :D

I'm using HaGeZi's Ultimate DNS Blocklist with AdAway as a base and am now trying to add my own "tweaks", according to what connections my phone makes.

I set PCAPdroid to automatically start capturing after reboot. Before reboot, I kill-ed as many apps and processes as possible without crashing Android and then cleared system memory. I then rebooted and left the phone untouched for five minutes. The following is a heavily edited excerpt of the resulting pcap file. I removed the source IPs, ports, package sizes and protocols, so that the excerpt only contains the destination hosts and the "issuing" apps/packages.

**Google Play Services**
playatoms-pa.googleapis.com
digitalassetlinks.googleapis.com
www.googleapis.com
mtalk.google.com
android.googleapis.com

**Google Play Store**
play-fe.googleapis.com
play.googleapis.com

**IronFox**
firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com
firefox-settings-attachments.cdn.mozilla.net
content-signature-2.cdn.mozilla.net

**Android**
es11.samsung-sm-ds.com

Here are four screenshots of the PCAPdroid capture, in which you additionally can see the protocols, destination ports, captured times, packet sizes and connection states. Let me know if the Buzzheavier link is broken.

Do you have any insights regarding these hosts? What they do, whether they are necessary for an Android system that still runs on the proprietary Google libraries and Google Play Services or whether they can be blocked? I am already blocking the Play Store with a firewall, so the hosts associated with it might not even be getting through. Unfortunately, my firewall doesn't come with granular enough control to allow blocking of individual hosts, which I guess I could do with AdAway instead and see what happens. Anyway, lend me your wisdom! :)

I'm using Mullvad because I like their company. F***! These is no way I can formulate this sentence without it sounding weird...

Anyway!

It seems like the state's websites and the municipalities' websites allow Mullvad but the counties' websites block it.

What's the situation in YOUR country/region? Are you able to do taxes, surf on healthcare related websites (hospitals etc) and on government bodies' sites without issues?

Sorry, wrong community.

Do you like horror? Do you like waifus? Then I cannot recommend the indie game MiSide enough. The music, the visuals, the twists, everything is great! The story is quite plain, but the way AIHASTO presents it is great! I can't say much without spoiling the game, so just give it a try!

Please share any knowledge or experience that you have on packet inspection using smartphones. I would like to sniff at my switch, which is switching between my (two LANs)^[I put "two LANs" within parentheses to denote that the two LANs are not being switched between.] and my ISP. For this, I have mirrored all ports that are in use to a port that is currently not in use. Can I simply buy one of those USB-C to Ethernet dongles and use tcpdump in Termux? Will Android recognize the dongle as a sniffable network interface? The phone is rooted.

Thank you @ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com for telling me about the pcap app! On rooted devices, you can even be running a VPN simultaneously, because then the pcap app doesn't need to take that slot.

I cannot believe how insignificantly low my power draw is when seeding about 200 Linux ISOs on my Ryzen 5700G system with four 4TB SSDs.

Some time ago, I made a post in which I wanted your input on how I could decrease power^[https://programming.dev/post/47150919]. Well, this is the result of turning on all those various energy saving options in the BIOS and some undervolting (all cores set to -30).

Oh, and I also took out all but two chassi fans: the exhaust fan behind the CPU and one above the CPU.

I did try replacing the Gold certified PSU with a Platinum one, but the Platinum one ended up in my gaming rig because the Gold one had more SATA "outlets" and I'm going to need them soon, as the combined Linux ISOs now take up 14TB (and I'm going to continue using SSDs until shit hits the remaining fans).

Thank you people!

I love that uBlock was way ahead on this?

You rub two insulators against each other and attain a charge imbalance. Is there a rule as to which of the materials will end up with a negative charge and vice versa? Does it depend on which one has more or less lose valence electrons?

The thought has crossed my mind a few times through the years. I guess transphobia and such bigotry is one of the few things I wish didn't exist when growing up during the 90's. I've often felt uneasy and uncomfortable in situations where I was required to "act like a man", but I never had the guts to protest.

Would it be possible for an average user like me to host the whole AUR and the whole Arch Wiki to make it available at times like this? I'm already seeding a couple of Arch isos (not pirate lingo).

I just want to help out.
