Wouldn’t getting something like a Kobo and syncing with Calibre be a much easier/cheaper option?

I have no idea. I think if you’re a paying customer, they might be more inclined to allow installing plugins.

I use the nextcloud gpodder integration myself with antennapod (phone) + kasts (desktop) and it mostly works well with subscription sync and timestamp sync. It’ll occasionally forget that I’ve listened to an episode on desktop but I guess that’s just growing pains.

I’ve been keeping an eye on podfetch as a potential nextcloud-gpodder replacement but it’s not just there yet for me.

I also just saw podcast merlin added to the supported list at https://github.com/thrillfall/nextcloud-gpodder but I don’t use windows so I can’t speak to that.

As for finding an alternative to the sync server, my only suggestion is to find a free/paid option at https://github.com/nextcloud/providers#providers that’ll let you install the gpodder nextcloud app or use the oracle free tier to host something light like podfetch.

Great video Juan. Your last point about lazy reviewers is why you’re the only phone reviewer (he does way more than review phones people) in my subscriptions. And as far as android content goes, it’s only Android Faithful & In Depth Tech Reviews. It’s frustrating seeing reviewers increasingly go the pay to play route and often not even disclosing the fact their “review” is really just a commercial.

I was hoping to see more recommendations in the comments but I’m sure that’ll come in time.

Did a search for ubuntu “integrity: problem loading x.509 certificate” and the first result indicates out of date bios certificates needed for secure boot on older laptops. Disabling secure boot seems to be the suggested fix.

I’ve been trying harder to diversify my youtube content. Please share links to visible minority (from a western pov) creators who post similar content. Why are there so few?

I’m glad OP’s linux gaming experience is so much better than it is on windows. I don’t say this to cast aspersions but if the results were reliable and repeatable, people like christitus, gardiner and many others would make daily videos on the topic just to get all the views(dollars) it would surely generate. It would cause a seismic shift in the PC gaming space.

It’s doesn’t have anywhere near the same feature set or polish but I think neolauncher probably comes the closest to replacing nova as far as open source solutions go.

Agreed. We’re already there with movies and it’s only a matter of time until the games industry follows the same path. The future is enshittified everything.

Obligatory I play exclusively on linux.

In the absence of a gamersnexus video or phoronix article, I’m going to take this with a large grain of salt. Especially when a video like this one is showing much higher performance in windows. The different cpu shouldn’t account for much of a difference when playing at higher resolutions and the benchmarks shows the game being gpu limited.

There are too many variables that go into battery usage to get any meaningful insight. Different apps, cpus, screen brightness/refresh rates, active radios, etc… It’s an endless list. Best you can do is compare with someone you know with the same model who has similar usage patterns. Good luck.

This seems like it will kill the sales of rocket league credits in the grey market.

I use the todoagenda widget to see my schedule and minical widget for a quick overview.

I’ll take the L in that case.

Hardware unboxed will definitely do another deep dive into upscalers once fsr3 is widely available.

If you’re going to store something on someone else’s computer (Google cloud), they have every right to control what is and is not allowed on their systems. Don’t like it? Use encryption, selfhost, etc…
