When I used Sonatype Nexus a lot, every time I said Nexus, some network engineer thought of a Cisco. Or google device.

It's a widely overused name, in general.

Just try them, it's not a big investment as they all work with vanilla server. You will appreciate default Jellyfin client more :)

I'm on Moonfin right now. I tested a few of them. They all looked super good, but turned out they were all super buggy. Unusable, even. Moonfin is OK.

Yet still, I come back to Jellyfin all the time. It's missing some bells and whistles, but it works in a predictable way.

I love it as it supports some weird devices that were abandoned or require Chinese data residency for them to sync.

How is it working for you in Garmin for sleep tracking? I tried it a few years ago and loved it at first, but then noticed how incorrect sleep data was.

But how real of a problem that is?

I wander often on many smartwatch/sport tracking forums/subreddits, and it's fairly frequent that people ask how to deal with smoothing and get back raw data. Some love how Garmin smooths out a race track run for them and make gps trail stick perfectly to a lane. Some pull their hair out seeing their lake run being smoothed out to make it look like they jumped over fences and private properties.

I often find my garmin traces confusing as well, it's not objectively better.

I guess gaming, but I do touch type. Both of those things combined made me use left control key mostly with the top of my pinky. This way I don't have to twist my hand that much.

When I use multiple modifiers (with alt and shift as well), I use it "normally".

> and Macs offer ⌘ Command, ⌥ Option, ⌃ Control, and ⇧ Shift

This is traumatizing for me. I tried to switch to a mac for home use and failed because of keyboard handling. Using Polish diacritics (made with right alt) wasn't obvious at first. I was able to switch keyboard settings to mimic Linux/Windows, but it's just not there. Control and Command confusion haunts me. I dropped the platform because of this and know a few people who stayed on iphones, but also dropped Macs because of keyboard.

I once tried to "find myself" on linkedin search bar on someone else's Mac. I though "I got this, I'm a mac user now!" and managed to close the browser tab and open some random programs...

I admire people who jump between those platforms. Even more for languages that don't have standardized alphabet mappings, like Bulgarian (it seems they don't have consensus there).

google.com is like the guy in the old joke:

- What's your best skill?

- I can count really fast!

- What's 432*567

- 912

- You sure? Sounds off!

- Hard to tell, but it was fast, wasn't it?!

My wife loves bulk book hauls. Those places that we frequent, work like a literal permanent discount warehouse - books in high shelves, on pallets, everywhere. Often hundreds of issues of the same one.

But there is so many books there that no one want's to read. Hundreds of the same book lying there for months or years.

Same for public book-sharing "libraries" (small shelves that look like bird house, usually in parks etc). People really like them and there are many in my city, but most books there are products of a gone era and a gone mindset. No one want's that even for free.

We were taught respect for books, but not everything is worth preserving.

Try F-Droid basic, it has this for a few weeks.

Do you use a lot of apps with that?

I tried it with 3 random apps for a while, but instantly got into issues. Two stopped updating due to Obtanium falling behind how app releases - for instance, developer changed version numbering scheme but Obtanium didn't expect that, so an outdated version was always presented. It wasn't fixed for quite a while.

Yes. F-droid allows that, you can have multiple repositories and ... a few of those even exist :)

I'm using that with 2.0 (or rather with F-droid Basic, but I noticed Basic was updated to the same that is described in article, but a while ago). It works just fine.

I do, but via OpenRouter. Outside of work my use cases are small and cheaper models do great job at those. I noticed even if I "burn tokens like crazy" I still pay less than any subscription available (a few $ a month).

But I guess if I had an agent vibecoding on it's own, I'd go with subscription instantly.

Thanks.

My question was a more of "yes/no" one. So far every time I tried, DaVinci didn't work at all. Not slowly. It completely refused to work on intel integrated graphics, specifically.

Yet it was mentioned over 50 times under this submission. So I guess it is.
