If it is WebDAV, DAVx5 has a feature that makes those shares available as a local volume. An sFTP app can be used to xfer files.

TrueNAS probably has a service for synchronized folders like google drive. I don't know how to access NFS or SMB transparently.

Well, I just ripped a few of my old DVDs with handbrake, and I upscaled by setting the resolution to 720p and ensuring the "upscale" cjljeckbox is ticked.

Tovmy eye, it looks pretty good on my 55" 1080p TV, and I noticed in my voddeo player it scaled to my display size appropriately. If I imply ripped it, the video would have a hugee black box around it ony high red display.

I'd say using handbrake is fairly effective once you get it off the disk, for which I used a rip to mkv app in Linux.

Thanks for enumerating the counter points. I'm immediately turned off by his vocal style, but I can look past that long enough to evaluate the content.

I have two big issues with it:

  • His assertions lack references to supporting evidence
  • his political allegiance gives me pause

I will check out his content more before I write him off.

It appears the android client he used is Cheogram, which I use. It is forked from Conversations, and is excellent. JMP.CHAT maintains it, and pretty much supports all of the xmpp standards. Including gateways to phone PBX, SMS, and Matrix.

They and sopranica offer fully compliant servers, including self hosting.

Depends on if someone uploaded the data for the target area, and the lookup is not intuitive for North Americans.

Look for a GSI ROM. They generally work on any device that came out with Android 10 or newer.

In my case, someone did the work of overcoming Knox with their own ROM, etc. Right now my galaxy tab 2019 has LineageOS 20 and a microg setup through magisk. It supplies the spoof fix systemlessly. You might be able to use the same ROM, which is a GSI by Andy Yan.

Wow. You mean people might gave to read actual books for entertainment?

If by some miracle the legal establishment takes this schmuck seriously, it is the end of the entertainment industry.

This is my view. I went the privacy route. The result is the addictiveness of the service went way down. For me, that's a win.

There are other ways to give us content we might like. For example, have a list of topics and categories we can select. This reduces invasiveness while providing some benefit.

The problem is that does not give Google what it wants out of the relationship.

Lower level languages are definitely helpful in learning how computers work. When I was in college, I was not taught C, but our algorithms course was in C. We were expected to learn it on our own.

lisp and Prolog were used for AI - those we learned in class. Assembly was the ultimate "get intimate with the machine" language, and we wrote a simple compiler for VMS.

All of this is meant to help us understand how to work with machines. It doesn't mean that that's how we should work with machines. Sometimes the higher level language is the better choice. Sometimes it is not. We are expected to make that decision based on the situation at hand.

I, too, started using it, and i'm impressed.

By this logic, any untrained citizen who interrupts a robbery by shooting the robber in the head from behind should not only be absolved of the crime but should be lauded for it.

Apkmirror. Find your app, install it, then let aurora update it as needed.

They have maps with USA style addresses, updated monthly. They cover pretty much everything. So that would solve your address search Problem in OsmAnd.

There is also a google traffic overlay.
