Pixel 7 unstable network quality and loss of audio
  • I use grapheneos on A P7 pro. Banking apps work fine because the bootloader gets locked with grapheneos. This is what most banking apps would complain about. Also if it for some reason requires google play services this is available too in a sandboxes way.

  • how easy is it to install arch?
  • Honesty I found gentoo more easy to install then arch. Mainly because the Gentoo handbook is soo good and is in laid out in a good order. Compare that to the arch wiki that has a ton of sub pages and redirects. Which is just a load harder to follow.

    PS. This is before their was a guided installer for arch.

  • Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked?
  • If you are afraid of being ddosed which is very unlikely. Cloudflare has free ddos protection. You can put some but not all things behind their proxy.

    Also instead of making things publicly available look in to using a VPN. Wireguard with "wireguard easy" makes this very simple.

    VLANs do not make you network magically more secure. But when setup correctly can increase security a load if something has already penetrated the network. But also just to streamline a network and allow or deny some parts of the network.

  • Sorry I can't do it.
  • the reason why arch gets recommend a lot as a gaming distro is that it is bleeding edge. Their for has very up to date drivers and parches that can help gaming. But with the current state of gaming on Linux this is a bit less of a requirement. most distros are new enough for most games. Exception might be debian LTS or something.

    So i totaly agree that choosing something other then arch for gaming is a good option if you are rather new to linux.

  • Opening Garage Door Options
  • If you like to tinker you can accomplish the same and a load more with Home Assistant. I do not have a garage door but do have loads of automation that use multiple platforms together bundled in home assistant. The limit is really your own imagination with it.

    Just to name a idea out of my head. I am not sure if the Meross MSG100 can be linked to home assistant but their is a high change it will. With the home assistant app on any phone for that matter. you can use anything as a trigger say distance, connection to wifi or even a wake word. then in home assistant make the automation to trigger the door to open.

  • Which Email provider Tuta or Proton?

    Hey guys,

    I am looking for a new email provider as I am still using gmail and like to get that removed finally. I am currently looking at Tuta and proton. I would be using it mainly for email and the Calendar. most other things I am self hosting but email in particular is not something I like to self host.

    Proton being hosted in Switzerland and Tuta being hosted from Germany I think Proton has a edge over Tuta in that regard although I am not very familiar with both country's privacy laws.

    Also how do they compare to each other regarding flexibility in creating email filters and folders. I believe proton hat some restrictions on the amount of email filters if i am not mistaken.

    And lastly can you get calendar invites with these email providers? If I like the email provider i might move the business email to one of the providers as well but seeing we get like calendar invites which works fine with outlook. I dont know if this works with the email clients of proton or Tuta.

    Also if their is a better email provider i am open to suggestions.

    EDIT: Thanks guys! Got many great answers. i think I will get my own domain and try them out both for a while.

    Do not get A Minisforum S100 for kodi.

    Okay, so I got a Minisforum S100. The experience has not been great at all. Other than the very long delivery time that kept changing, it finally arrived. I connected it to and booted the PC up. Windows was loading fine on it, and I got that installed initially. Browsing on it and doing very light work seemed to be okay. Now, when I tried to install LibreELEC, issues started.

    For starters, it doesn't use NVMe but UFS storage, which causes the LibreELEC installer to not detect any devices other than the USB itself from which I booted. Unfortunately, I tried to install regular Linux on it with the idea of booting up Kodi from there. However, many regular Linux distros also do not seem to detect the UFS storage. I tried a few distros: OpenSUSE, Arch, and at last, Fedora, which actually detects it. Fedora even successfully installs, but right after you boot into the freshly installed system, it will complain that /dev/fedora/root and /dev/root are missing.

    After giving up on using Linux, I went with Windows. I installed Windows 11 IoT Enterprise on it, which works after doing some regedit tweaks to disable the requirements. Windows installed, and all was working fine. Okay, then it was time to install Kodi on it, which went well, and even the Jellyfin plugin installed. But any video playback will just hang after the first 10 seconds of watching. Audio and subtitles work, but not the video. Just to rule things out, I installed the Jellyfin media player on it, and anything 4K will just stutter like crazy, probably maxing out at 10 fps when watching, even when the stream is 100% compatible with the device (you can see this in Jellyfin server).

    All in all, I will return the device. I thought it was very promising, but the UFS storage and the very underpowered N100 make it unusable for my use case.

    Need some advice regarding hardware for kodi.

    Hello everyone,

    I'm planning to set up Kodi on a mini PC, but I'm unsure which hardware to choose, such as a Minisforum or an Intel NUC and which once. I have a very large library of movies and shows on Jellyfin, and I'd like to use Kodi with one of the two Jellyfin plugins to stream content from Jellyfin to the Kodi box.

    I tried Jellyfin for WebOS 4, but unfortunately, it has many limitations regarding codecs. My library mainly consists of REMUX files. The box needs to be able to play 4K, Dolby TrueHD, Atmos, etc. Additionally, I'd prefer it to be somewhat future-proof.

    Apart from that, I will connect the Kodi box directly to an Arcam AVR31 so I can pass on the Dolby audio to it.

    Car diagnostic software and tunning software?

    Hello all. I was looking for a specific Car diagnostic software package and I noticed that this type of software doesn't come across often on the seas. are their any good places I can go to start looking for this kind of software. The software often cost up to 500 dollars or more and for me it would be a one time maiby 2 time use.
