Cool! Perhaps I'll give Qwant another shot. Thanks for sharing :)

I currently host Navidrome, which has an okay web player. On Android I use "Tempo" (though it is unmaintained) to connect to it, and on Linux I use Tauon (though it has very poor playback). I could not find a native Linux client that is not buggy unfortunately, so I'm also on the lookout for better solutions! I'm not familiar with the device you are talking about but every client I tried supports MPRIS, which are the regular media controls that can be used via the playerctl command, so you should be able to hook things up that way.

Found out just now he made a video about it and explained his actual experience using it, it's really cool! Glad to see more folks sharing this stuff.

Good news!

I like this picture of a cat that shows up every time this repo is linked. Good things are to come when this cat appears on my feed.

I was going to read this post, but I saw an AI image.

That's good advice, however this dorm is not part of my uni (just a partner to provide housing) and the internet provider whose T&C I'm expected to accept and sign up for 1y of are a totally separate legal entity, that has a bunch of upsells for stuff like "connect more than 1 device" (which my router/AP would basically be bypassing, and I think that's what these clauses are about). About the interference, is it possible to limit it severely while still having a reliable connection just within my room? I only really want to connect:

1. Laptop (wired)
2. Phone
3. VR for streaming from laptop

Honestly I saw btrfs in the arch install guide and read about it because I thought the name sounded funny. I used it until I distro hopped to NixOS couldn't figure out how to install it with btrfs, so I'm back on ext4.

Maybe I'll give it another try next hop, which is likely soon since Qt theming seems impossible on Nix. :/

Looks great! Do you often use TTY login over a graphical display manager?

I ran my own Mastodon for a while. While it does work, it takes up a ton of storage (every image and video you see is cached by your own server). It also doesn't work great for viewing stuff like replies and older posts, since backfilling is still not a thing. I ended up just browsing on remote servers instead. A great blog post about this: https://jvns.ca/blog/2023/08/11/some-notes-on-mastodon/

A Hat in Time!!! That's awesome, I remember having crashes with the proprietary drivers. Looking forward to playing this wonderful game on NVK.

Any keyboard with no internet permission should be "privacy-respecting", as it can't (as I understand it) send any data back to the developers. I'm personally a big fan of Unexpected Keyboard, though it's definitely something to get used to.
