Xmanager doesn’t compile the apk. I downloads the same files you have on telegram.

The main advantage of it over manually downloading the files is somewhat easier usage and update notifications.

I think the situation here is similar to Telegram. Russian connections, but not in a impactful way. I use both without worries, but if this doesn’t suit somebody, there are alternatives.

I think it’s a different story with the original seasons. The intended version was 4 seasons, but Fox being Fox aired the episodes out of order, ending whenever they wanted and that’s how 5 seasons came to be.

One might try to call it artistic privilege, but I don’t think it holds when you’re responsible only for distribution and not making.

I use MediaTracker which takes information form imdb and tmdb and it labels it as following:

• original series (seasons 1-5)
• Comedy Central (seasons 6 and 7)
• Hulu (season 8) with season 0 (specials) containing movies like Bender’s Big Score

Plex and Jellyfin are good and all, but you know what’s better?

UPNP - simple, efficient, effective. I recommend Gerbera.

Syncthing plays nicely with obsidian if you ever have to synchronise the vault between multiple devices.

Not so much about testing, but one time I really needed to get to my backups I lost password to the repository (I’m using restic). Luckily a copy of it was stored in bitwarden, but until I remembered it, were perhaps one of the worst moments.

Needless to say, please test backups and store secrets in more then one place.

It’s the first time I hear about resticprofile and it looks nice. So far I’ve been using crestic for configuration files. Do you know how they compare?

In the 3.x era, fully replacing the windows shell was easy and there were lots of options.

That’s such a good occasion to share a video I found recently, here: https://youtu.be/iD7AezjG5YE

Sort of. Already mentioned classicshell allows for some customisation. Things like FancyWM introduce window tiling to the os, but none of it is comparable to what android launchers can do.

Also an obligatory linux mention. If you do not depend on certain, windows only, applications, Linux provides much more customisation. Different desktop environments can be though as something analogous to android launchers.

That’s one thing. Also adding sources manually. It won’t the the issue when someone is there to help, but websites disappear and somebody has to update those lists.
