There are a number of them, but they are typically more expensive. Avocadostore is German based and shows quite a few.

I use this primarily, it’s more than enough for basic tracking and UI is good. A little unpolished at times, but I am yet to find anything on F-Droid which is better.

Thanks for the response! Is it limited to encoding services then, so if I’m only dealing with streaming common media file types (e.g. MKV, MP4) is it still a problem? I’m not dealing with a ridiculous amount of media, so I could outsource the encoding process alone if needed…

I’m specifically looking into this at the moment as I have been gifted a pi 5.

Most websites say avoid trying to host jellyfin on a pi 5 (codec and hardware issues are frequently noted). Do you have experience that shows these are non-issues?

Oh… :(

This is not correct. Bluetooth is a radio frequency communication tool. RF is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and does, in fact, "move’ at the speed of light.

The apostrophe is feet, right? That’s shallower than I thought.

Out of curiosity, do you know how deep your bore ended up being?

Bluetooth and the 2.4 GHz ISM band is not electricity and is highly resilient to moderate noise over short distances. Problems are usually caused by hardware related issues.

Obviously, more plants are needed to combat the destructive USB industry.

Does it say that in the article? I don’t understand who this person is or why this discredits everything that Reuters as a news provider does.

No idea about this dude, but literally in the article you link, they reference Zenz as an independent researcher who says:

“Although it is speculative…”

Before providing his estimate and also provides other details which appear to support the story, but the article does not present as clear, hard “facts”. Also, the title isn’t some clickbait trash, and even directly says “could”.

I can recommend Reuters, given it still has a little bit of sports and opinion, but I find it’s good at providing neutral facts and sources it’s knowledge from appropriate experts for its opinion pieces.

It only lacks in providing local level news, where I turn to my country’s national broadcaster.

Your post history is outrageously dramatic. I would advise you to find a healthy hobby or two, preferably away from the internet.

I would add that to use these stores it is HELPFUL (not mandatory) to understand what they are presenting.

F-Droid is a store for open source software, normally maintained (or not) by teams of passionate people or volunteers.

Aurora store is a mask over the Google play store, which can use an anonymous account to download files from the Google play store. The Aurora store may not be ideal of you are working with paid apps, but it is worth reading up before you blindly jump in here.

There is also the !privacy@lemmy.world or !privacy@lemmy.ml groups which can help if you want to de-google.

I do not understand why German mobile data is so heinously expensive!

E.g. in Austria https://www.hot.at/tarife.html

No an overly helpful suggestion maybe, but I used to look for servers hosting the cars service manual whenever I had issues. But that was in the early 2010s, so not sure where to look for them now.

I like the first half of your comment, but the second is really hard to swallow. I guess you meant “severe” or “debilitatingly” painful/disabled life, and I don’t think you meant malice in what you’re saying - but I know some people living with disabilities that would see your comment as calling them worthless.

India is a world leader when countries are ranked by population. It’s time will come, as the middle class grows and imports from other nations increase, but that is not happening in the next 5 years in my opinion.

India’s inability to remove the caste system leads IMHO to an equivalent of middle eastern country’s inability to allow women a meaningful place in their society, and is a massive hindrance to reaching its potential socially and economically.

On the positive side, absolutely has the best cuisine in the world

Thanks for the suggestion, I started looking into LaTeX during my studies but never went through with learning it. Others have suggested Scribus, is there a reason why you might opt for LaTeX over that for this case?
