Do you use a USB bluetooth adapter? If so, try to use a very short USB A to USB A cable, it gets rid of most 2.4 GHz interference.

What now?

Good news! The Factorio DLC just released so you can make your factory grow in the time previously needed to fix things.

Simplified Sliding Sync is now implemented natively in Synapse as of 1.114, and so there is no longer any need to run a Sliding Sync Proxy in order to use the API.

Nice, setting up the old sliding sync server was a pain.

I see you still had the bug where OBS would spam “&” in every title.

I’m currently using BraveNewPipe, not sure how recent it is but it updates regularly and works well: https://github.com/bravenewpipe/NewPipe

FreeTube has significantly more features, so there’s not much reason to switch either way.

On my phone I have to use a NewPipe fork in order to get SponsorBlock working.

A sync feature between FreeTube and NewPipe would be appreciated though.

Probably a bad time to suggest the Jellyfin for Kodi plugin (since they removed the network paths in this version) but it’s what I use for my main playback device.

All the goodies of playback via Kodi but play state and metadata gets synced from Jellyfin.

Another option of course would be to open the file(s) in MKVToolNix to add and correct the subtitle offset there.

If you use the native mode in the Jellyfin Kodi plugin to play directly from a network share, it will break.

Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like I will be staying on 10.9 for a little bit longer.

Not saying what they are doing is right, but Github issues are not a forum.

There’s a dozen people in there adding absolutely nothing to the issue, I would have locked it as well.

I know you said no service change but I use this Tidal client which works really well and goes up to 24-bit 192 kHz: https://github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi

I also download FLACs from Tidal, Deezer or Qobuz. You can find downloaders for them very easily.

No, it’s like buying a car without understanding how the engine works, which a lot of people do.

It caters to a middle ground that barely exists, meaning it doesn’t have enough options for a power user and too many for a newcomer.

For example, a newcomer doesn’t know what a root account is and doesn’t have to care, yet they have to choose if they want to enable or disable the account. They can also remove their administrator privileges without knowing what it means for them. I get asked what a root account is every time somebody around me tries to install Fedora.

I recommend spinning up a Ubuntu 24.04 VM and taking a look at their installer.

They have a clear structure on how to install Ubuntu step by step while Fedora presents you everything at once. They properly hide the advanced stuff and only show it when asked for it. They have clear toggles for third party software right at the installer and explain what they do. Fedora doesn’t even give you the option to install H264 codecs or Nvidia drivers.

It also looks a lot cleaner and doesn’t overload people with too much info on a single screen. And yet it can still do stuff like automated installing and has active directory integration out of the box, where the Fedora installer miserably fails for a “Workstation” distro.

The Fedora installer works, but it doesn’t do much more than that and the others do it better in many areas.

Long-time Fedora user here. I do not think Fedora is noob friendly at all.

• Their installer is awful
• Their spins are really well hidden for people who don’t know they exist
• The Nvidia drivers can’t be installed via the GUI
• There’s no “third party drivers” tool at all
• The regular Flathub repo is not the default and their own repo is absolutely useless
• AMD/Intel GPUs lack hardware acceleration for H264 and H265 out of the box, adding them requires the console
• Their packages are consistently named differently than their Ubuntu/Debian counterpart

I really like Fedora for their newish packages without breaking constantly. I still would not recommend it for beginners.
