In my experience, I always get much better Searx results by changing the language to the relevant one (and disable SafeSearch). However, between instances, it varies which search sources they include (Google, Bing, DDG etc.). After trying multiple, I’ve found a few instances that generally get me the results I’m looking for.

E.g. if searching for, let’s say, something German, my URL would contain this:

/search?q=cannabis+legal&language=de&safesearch=0

I don’t feel too inclined to argue with them

Interestingly, that makes me feel a bit inclined to argue with you about this.

To me, it just feels like…

“No, you can’t upgrade your old car speakers, because the custom ones would be too loud.”

“No, you can’t upgrade the seats, because the 3rd party ones are way too comfortable.”

“No, you can’t keep that Wunderbaum dangling under the mirror, it modifies the smell and it’s too damn fresh for you!”

Well, actually, it’s more like…

“No, silly, you simply can’t use those carefully crafted custom-made playing pieces, cards or high-DPI printed board to extend/change this board game to your liking, since we didn’t sell you any of that…”

As you see it, what’s the difference? Or would you in fact just happily accept those scenarios too?

Was that the one with too many pancakes?

You’re always bringing something interesting to look into or write on the list for later. This time too! Nimletter is on my list now.

I keep getting a “Database download failed” error, unfortunately, even with network permission enabled…

Because it has fewer parameters and (in some cases) it’s quantized. The hardware needed to run local inference on the full model is not really feasible to most people. Though, the release of it will probably still make a wide impact on the quality of other upcoming smaller models being distilled from it, or trained on synthetic data from it, or merged with it, etc.

You’re asking the real important questions!

And it’s great for sorting by date.

Thanks for sharing. It seems like there’s a lot of supported options. Many of them, I have no idea what are, but cars and doorbells are easy enough to understand, at least. Do you have any examples of interesting, less obvious use cases of your own, or of others’?

For local reception, receivers with RTL2832U chips are a cheap option. They are also called RTL-SDR. I have simply been using a long wire as a “random wire antenna”. Some of the older dongles also need an upconverter to be able to tune into low HF frequencies:

An upconverter for the RTL-SDR translates low HF frequencies ‘up’ into ones that are receivable by the RTL-SDR. This is a different method to the direct sampling mode used in the V3 dongles to achieve HF reception.

T-series?

A Kenyan union has many opinions

And a funny opinion on Kenyan onions

The Kenyan onion has multiple layers

It just goes “on” and “on” for years and years

Like the Kenyan union’s opinions on onions

They make you cry, but unlike grand canyons

Their views are not great like your fantasy mansion’s

Now, is this really a poem of onion?

Or is it rather a ridiculous riddle?

They said it just goes “on” and “on”

But “i” was forgotten in the middle…

There’s probably a Plex add-on for Kodi. At least, there is for Jellyfin and Emby. If you don’t like the UI, try changing it. I prefer the one called “Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded”. You’ll need to customize the homescreen a bit to get the most out of it. That way you can make it show widgets of your content, e.g. the latest content added, continue watching, specific libraries, etc. That, at least, works very well with Jellyfin through the Jellycon add-on.

… but would you like a cup of sea?

The “magic remote” from LG …

It’s so magic it makes you pay for a new remote with features that should already work on the regular remote.

But I get it. We’re talking groundbreaking features like navigating up/down/left/right, back and even selecting stuff! /s

The solution I found for my parents’ aging LG TV begging for a “magic remote” was adding an AndroidTV box with its own remote and an updated OS with an actual selection of working, relevant apps (as opposed to the native OS of the TV), for a cheaper price than a “magic remote” IIRC. Finally, replacing the default launcher of the AndroidTV box with the minimalist FLauncher made the replacement a somewhat less crappy experience than it initially was.

Good point. Reminded me of this alarm app, where you scan a QR code to disable the alarm:

I recently bought their Flint 2 (GL-MT6000) based on multiple recommendations online when looking for a router that supports OpenWRT. That’s preinstalled, with AdGuard Home and WireGuard VPN on top of it. I’m looking forward to set it up and play around with it.

What do you exactly mean when you describe their approach in software as Android-like? That it’s easy to install services in OpenWRT?

I thought this would work - and it does! Here’s how to add radio channels as Live TV:

• From the Jellyfin homescreen menu, navigate to the Dashboard
• Click the Dashboard menu button (three stripes at the top)
• Go to Live TV
• Click the first (+) button to add a new tuner device
• Choose “M3U Tuner”
• Select your local .m3u file or paste a URL
• Click Save
• Go back to the homescreen of Jellyfin
• In the menu, click Live TV
• Switch to the tab called Channels
• If your .m3u file works, you can select any channel it contains from here.

You can even add a custom logo for each channel:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,Channel 1 tvg-logo="https://link.to/logo-ch1.png"
http://liveradio.url.channel1.fake:8000/channel1-is-fake.mp3

#EXTINF:-1,RadiOmega tvg-logo="https://linking.park/logo-radiomega.png"
http://liveradio.nope.omegalive:8000/y/radiomega.mp3

And rank them in the list by changing -1 to positive values IIRC.

Wait until I debunk you by publishing these articles:

Is no always the answer to questions in headlines?

Yes but no.

How can you know the answer to questions in headlines?

No, you know.

Why is no always the answer to questions asked in headlines?

No. The answer is no, and that does not really answer this question.

No, he/she/they can’t possibly be that many. I’m one too!
