Yep, we have desks at work with a built in AC socket and USB-A and USB-C for charging phones. Guess what? The USB-C only delivers 5V and thus is unsuitable to power Apple’s travel charger for MagSafe and Apple Watch.

Same with our £600 Dyson lamps. They all come with an USB-C outlet. But, again, it’s only providing 5V, no PD.

Apart from that, I’m also pretty happy with USB-C everything. Even though I still think Lightning is the better design in terms of robustness of the socket. No thin plastic lip that can break apart.

Yep, just do it in macOS using any audio editor, save up to 40 seconds as AAC M4A file, rename to .m4r and drag&drop onto your phone/iPad in Finder. Done.

I threw up a little...

The thing with SearXNG is that it will search in multiple search engines in parallel and then aggregate the results. If the same result appears in all of the queries, it’ll be weighted more than one that appears in only one of the results.

This way you get very neutral overall results compared to the biased ones Google usually delivers.

Also, you can easily define custom search engines, so you could make it search on your favourite website as well.

GitHub supports Jekyll page generation. Or at least did this a few years ago.

And please make sure to also generate an RSS feed for us feed reader users. ;)

How about making a Shortcut?

You might want to look at Terramaster NASes. E.g. their F4-423 is basically an Intel NUC married to a SATA controller. They have an internal USB port where you can pull the OEM flash drive and insert your own, then install e.g. UnRAID or OpenMediaVault on it.

That will be my next device if my Synology DS415+ finally dies.

See, in Germany you can buy your own cable modem or fibre endpoint and connect that to the copper wire/fibre line.

Is this a new thing? AFAIK, Synology used to be open source, but then went closed source several years ago. Which is, when the Xpenology project was born.

There was one where the guy behind it went to massive lengths so people couldn't easily distinguish the example files by other means than audio quality. Verdict was that people with more expensive equipment even preferred the sound of the MP3s (320kbps CBR). I think it was this one (Links to Parts 2 and 3 at the bottom.).

Somewhere else I've read that - for most humans - 256 kbps MP3s encoded with VBR-ABR using a high-end encoder are basically indistinguishable from the lossless original. Even at 192 kbps it's still more hit&miss than it should be. But I don't remember where I've read that.

OpenHub is vaguely working like this. It is meant to accumulate all your development work throughout the Internet. E.g. my profile there looks like this:

https://openhub.net/accounts/mbirth

It’s not for self-hosting, though, as far as I’m aware.
