Pebble ftw

Got myself a Pixel 9 pro just to go Graphene… Sold my s24 ultra

Default location of the downloads folder becoming OneDrive wouldn’t suprise me at all

I never trusted that brax guy

That is also my approach

Maybe the IP address changes? You should provide some more info.

Terminal outputs etc

It isn’t believe me.

Step by Step:

1. Go into your Android Settings
2. Go into “System” or “Info” or “About”
3. You will find a piece of Info called “Build Number” or “Build”
4. Tap that Text 7 times. After 4 Times you will see a small piece of text in the bottom half saying “in 4 steps you are developer”
5. After the 7th tap, you will have enabled developer mode; Do not panic, this hasn’t done anything to your device yet but will simply enable you to do more with your device if you chose so.
6. Go into your Android Settings again
7. System
8. Developer Settings 9 Scroll down and enable “USB Debugging”
9. Download the Android Debugging Bridge for Windows https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools
10. Connect your Phone with a good (ideally the original one) USB cable to your PC.
11. Open the command line (Windows+R -> cmd -> Enter)
12. type in adb devices
13. On your phone -> Accept connections from this PC
14. Now type in adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.youtube
15. You’re done - Youtube is now uninstalled.

You can do Step 15 for all other bloatware aswell. There is a handy dandy application on https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater that will let you use a nice GUI to do that. Debloats your phone quite effectively.

After you’re done with all this, simply go back into your developer options and disable USB Debugging. That’s it.

Regarding 3. Yes, sorry, I have no answer for that Regarding 1. Yes you can. Using ABD on a PC and USB Debugging you can simply run:

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.youtube

First: why do you have both YouTube apps installed?

Second: you can set it up so that all YouTube links will open in the Vanced app instead. In the application settings in android under supported links

Yup, mine aswell

I really do love this newsletter

It’s chrism

Also i find that the speed of scanning, getting metadata, accuracy of linking metadata and files, the whole music section is lacking on jellyfin comparing to Plex

Still I prefer jellyfin as its free and open source and it does what I want it to do. But in my experience Plex did all of this way better, faster, more accurately and reliable… And jellyfin music category is outright unusable compared to plex

I am talking solely about the server side, not the player side.

Obviously a good functioning player will not need hw accellerated transcoding or hdr conversion. But sometimes that’s simply neither possible or feasable. Some hardware simply cannot properly transcode all formats, or don’t allow for installation of a player that can do that. Sometimes i watch a movie on my laptop while being connected to my phone mobile hotspot and using wireguard to phone home, i don’t want to direct stream a full movie in hdr and 1080p 40mbit/s… i want the server to transcode it properly.

So to conclude - i am talking about serverside, not playerside - stop assuming the person you are talking with doesn’t know what they do simply because you think you know better.

No i am not talking about the player as hw accell and hdr conversion runs on the server itself

The server is not bulletproof and in my experience plex ran better for me than jellyfin.

I have to say, Plex is a much more polished and more reliable piece of software in my experience.

I’ve used Plex for a couple of years and even got myself a lifetime premium pass when it was 65% reduced or something. But when news started popping up about them potentially leaking what content you watch i burned that bridge (look at the instance i come from, you can guess where my content stems from :D)

I then migrated over to jellyfin. It’s not as polished, it doesn’t run that reliable for me as plex did, hw accell, hdr convertion didn’t setup as easy but after a lot of tinkering it now works very fine for me.

I really enjoy jellyfin and the ecosystem that evolved around it.

I switched from Plex to jellyfin solely for that reason

Also hw accell being free in jelly aswell

We have a bard travel accross the lands and carry out our data by singing epics about it.

That’s a valid backup because it’s a different media, correct?

Hyprland on my desktop

GNOME on my laptop

Interesting!

I’ll try it out
