Honestly, I'd rather have a working Linux phone that can run Android apps. I like being in control of my devices.

Yes updates are slow, but keep in mind that the developers are all volunteers.
Currently the PineTime is a glorified step counter, but with the next update (should be 1.15, I hope) we'll get background heart rate monitoring. The PR is shaping up and will hopefully be merged before the next release.

Why would you not want containers managed by systemd?
You get the benefits of containerisation and you don't have to learn the arcane syntax of some container engine or another.

No. You need to request your Netflix video, you need to ACK the segments of it you receive and a lot more.
At the very least you'll need to maintain a detailed whitelist of allowed domains and especially for the manufacturer some packets might he OK, like checking for updates, while others you'll wanna block.

It's likely a lot easier to just get a dumb screen and have the smart in a device you control.

Am I too harsh […]?

No. If there's no way to verify anything then all we have to go on is their word.
The word of a company generally isn't worth a whole lot. Same with Telegram.

My point. We don't have code so we have to trust them blindly.

Telegram was never safe. All anyone ever had was their word that some chats are end-to-end encrypted.

I am using a Samsung phone

Well, don't. I know that's not immediately helpful, but Samsung is well known for shipping tons of useless bloatware in their Android ROM and not giving a shit about user privacy.
I think it was their CEO who suggested simply not having sensitive conversations within earshot of their Smart-TVs, when it became known that they're always listening.

Throwing Fairphone into the pot. They're well supported by LineageOS and have the additional advantage of being user-repairable.
But they only ship inside Europe.

People; what a bunch of bastards.

Really simple. Just ask it to point out the error. Also maybe tell it how the code is wrong. And then hope that the new code didn't introduce new errors in formerly working sections. And that it understood what you meant. In a language that is inherently vague.

It's German for "the monster, the."

 

By that I mean randomly generated playlists. Based on either one or multiple tags, songs or artists. Finite or infinite.

Ideally it would allow combining local sources with remote ones for discovering new music. Thinking along the lines of audioscrobbler, Bandcamp and SoundCloud. Maybe one could even hook into Spotify's API, of they allow that.

Does something like this exist? I'm currently running Navidrome and while it's pretty and functional, it's very much a classic Mediaplayer, that just happens to be a website.

 

As you can see, the included extension cord collides with the chosen cpu cooler. The other end of the cable looks like this.

So I need a 1ft c13 to c14 cable with two angled connectors. Not sure if the c14 side should be angled up or right.

Anyone know where I'd buy such a specific cable?
