Alright that doesn’t sound that bad. I have a Mi Band 3 and haven’t upgraded to anything else due to the need to get a key with anything newer.

How was the Bangle JS2? What made you switch away from it?

I thought about using Amazfit products but all the new ones require Huami/Xiaomi server pairing. How was that process?

And/or with SponsorBlock if you don’t care about sending that data to the open APIs. It’s pretty useful if some channels you watch have a lot of sponsors, self promotions, etc.

Thank you! I didn’t know they also made an app that does this. For anyone looking for the link it’s the following: https://grayjay.app/

I’d also recommend looking into their other projects such as their Android voice input app: https://voiceinput.futo.org/

Or other projects: https://futo.org/projects/

Any reason Fennec and not Mull? Just curious.

I personally use Mullvad and love it but it is not conducive to helping seed due to port forwarding being blocked.

Like another person said they resolved to that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/8ww4h2/protonvpn_and_tesonet/

I guess you decide if you like the response or not but that was a long time ago as well. 🙂

Phone app? Yes you have to use their own app. On a computer besides the browser version you can use Thunderbird and other applications if you download ProtonBridge.

Just a preference thing since it makes it more like how Windows and some Linux distros do window management.

Hitting Alt + Tab brings up a preview of all windows that you have open with the ability to scroll / tab through them.

Hitting Alt + ` while focused on a certain application shows a preview image of each window for that application that you have open.

I personally like it more than the OSX default but to each their own.

I’m using it and a Logitech G502 but I haven’t played around to see what things it can and cannot do compared to Logitech’s own software. On Linux I use Piper to manage my mouse with a closer parity to Logitech’s actual software.

Pretty sure there are 5 Red Rising books and 6th one due out this year. 🙂

No problem! Glad I could help someone. I was so happy when I found it so I’m glad it can help others.

Makes sense haha. Whatever works is good. 🙂

AltTab: Windows alt-tab on macOS

Rectangle: Keyboard based window management.

Linear Mouse: Per-device settings for Mouse, Track Pad, etc. Things like pointer super, scroll direction, and mouse acceleration.

Why not use Rectangle? While Magnet looks like it probably does a lot more and has more customization I’m having a hard time seeing the difference to make it worth that price vs. free. Can you explain your thoughts? 🙂

Shelves in a closet, happy thought indeed.

That’s all I use and it’s been great!

Now that Steam is all in on the Steam Deck and SteamOS there is much better support for games on Linux. See ProtonDB.

Also, the Linux distro Pop!_OS has worked quite well for me for games. I use the NVIDIA version which bundles NVIDIA’s propietary library blobs which also helps with the game compatibility.

But all in all I agree with you that even with all of this it is not as smooth as just click and play on Windows. 🙂 Plus some games just don’t work on Linux at all so there’s that. Lol.

As others have said you can set these Reolink PoE cameras up on different systems without using their app forever.

I for one have set up Reolink cameras on Synology’s Surveillance Station successfully after a one time setup with Reolink’s app. Meaning I used their app to get it connected to my WiFi and then immediately set the camera’s DNS etc. to it’s own IP.

Once that was accomplished I set up the camera on Synology and now I only use Synology’s app for access. In no way does Reolink successfully phone home after this. While it isn’t ideal it’s pretty great once this is completed.
