desec.io can be used with any domain registrar and has an API with support for various ddns clients (ddclient, lego).

deSEC is a free DNS hosting service, designed with security in mind.

Running on open-source software and supported by SSE, deSEC is free for everyone to use.

Edit: To clarify, desec.io does not sell/rent domains. Desec has to be set as the authoritative nameserver on the registrar, then desec can manage domain records instead of the registrar (which usually also provides their own domain hosting for “free” by default).

I’m honestly fine with DRM, as long as it’s removed within my definition of reasonable time. I’d say a year vor two.

Once the DRM is removed it allows for archiving and preserving the piece of media — as well as pirating copies.

Auch eine Alternative zu ICE-Strecken ist im Gespräch.

Toll. Dann darf ich mich in Zukunft nicht nur auf Lärm von unten, sondern auch noch von oben freuen.

Absolute Geldverschwendung — man könnte fast sagen eine Umverteilung von Steuergeld für Superreiche ;-)

“On skippable ads, the button appears after 5 seconds into playback, as always.”

They aren’t hiding the skip-button, they are hiding the not-being-able-to skip-button.

I guess the advantage for Google is that users can’t know whether they’ll be able to skip, so they might watch more of the ad with expectations that they might be able to skip it.

Busgelder vom Einkommen abhängig machen, sollte zusätzliches Geld in die Kassen spülen.

Damit wäre dann auch einer zunehmenden sozialen Ungerechtigkeit bei einem Verbot des abstellen von breiten Autos im öffentlichen Raum entgegengewirkt.

I wonder how long it’ll be possible to build Gnome with Xorg support. If I had to guess I’d say there won’t be any support within the next 3 years, because keeping future Gnome working with Xorg is work nobody wants to put in.

That said, Xwayland will likely keep being around for the foreseeable future.

Out of curiosity, do you use Xorg and if yes, what’s keeping you from using Wayland?

Symphonium is a great Android music player which connects to a Subsonic or Jellyfin server (or any other protocol like SMB).

Navidrome is a music server which implements the Subsonic protocol. This means apps like Symphonium can connect to it.


Any old PC is enough, even a Raspberry Pi is fast enough for a music server.

  1. Install Navidrome on the server/pc
  2. Configure Navidrome (open ports, add your music library/folder)
  3. Connect a subsonic-compatible music app to to the server (I.e. type in IP or domain as well as the port).

Anything more like SSL (https) and a domain is optional for getting it working, and only a benefit if used outside of your home network. Using Tailscale makes a domain/SSL unnecessary and also no longer needs messing around with networking (e.g. no opening ports on the router).

Agreed. Being able to customize all elements of the top bar is one of the great things about Firefox.
I don’t see a reason why it shouldn’t be possible to remove newly added elements. Even the “Open a new tab” button can be removed, as well as the recently added “View recent browsing across windows and devices” button.

YouTube changed something about their API to break 3rd party apps again. youtube-dl is also broken, but they’ve found the issue already, so it’ll likely be fixed after a while.

GrayJay and YouTube ReVanced still work in meantime.

Great to see another map with satellite images, besides Google Maps and Microsofts Bing Maps.

Now they just have to stop blocking Linux based on the user agent. If I set it to Firefox on Windows, it works, but not if set to Linux. A major feature of browsers is that web devs don’t have to care about the underlying OS…
