Looks great! Useful for privacy but also to keep work and private life separated. Will be on the lookout for other OS versions!

Firefox offers multiple ways to do that: you can use containers or launch different profiles from about:profiles. The latter has no way of telling the windows apart, unfortunately. This tool seems quite handy, though.

Setting a different visual theme for each Firefox profile works well for me.

Slightly related: I'm currently reading manga on a normal Android tablet using Mihon. I'd love to read on an eInk display, but I'd rather manage my library on device instead of having to use a pc and transferring chapters manually.

Does anyone have experience with Anrdoid capable eInk tablets? Are there any good, affordable ones?


There are some, but very few, expensive, and somewhat experimental. I hope all of this eink stuff gets more attention. For now, you may be able to sync android to remote to your reader.


There's android eink tablet like Boox, 10 inches are very comfy.

I'm a senior fullstack developer. The last 6 years I worked with C# /.Net in the backend, Angular/Typescript in the frontend, and Microsoft SQL and Analysis Services for database. Fluent in German and English. Quick learner, I love to "solve puzzles" and get to understand systems. Free time coding includes multiple participationsin the Global Game Jam, where I created video games in 48 hours with a team.


The one thing that bothers me about Lidarr is that it is album based, not song based. Before streaming services, I managed my local music library with albums as well, but my habits have changed. I basically only listen to my "Liked Songs" playlist on Spotify, and really only have a select few albums that I listen to on the whole.

I tried syncing Lidarr with my Spotify account, but 95% of the downloads then where songs that I didn't care for.


I don’t think there are more than 4-5 albums in my Spotify library where I like more than one songs of it. Or even artists (though there might be more music from single artists). I also just listen by playlists and often just my “Liked” or “all songs”.

Brief Description: Bachelor's in CS (at a University of Applied Sciences). Working full-time since 2016, three years of Delphi, then switched to C#/.Net/Angular/TypeScript stack. During college, worked as a working student with Delphi, and tutoring freshmen in C. Fast learner, no problem to dive into new languages or environments.

Languages: German, English (C1 level), Japanese (just started learning :) )

The most fun I ever had programming: Participating in the Global Game Jam three times and creating games in 48 hours :)


All those different subgenres are quite daunting as a newcomer. I've listened to songs labelled as “Psytrance” by Spotify, though I couldn't pinpoint the subgenre after listening to the examples provided by the guide.

For example, what would the song “Shiva Style, Pt. 2” by Mandragora classify as (if it counts as Psytrance)?


My thought as well. I'd suspect Valve's work with SteamOS and Proton has a noticable effect on Linux adoption rates


As a parent working a full time job - I can finally play games again. As weird as it sounds, there was always a pychological hurdle to go and sit at my desk, boot my pc, select a game and play it.

With the deck, I just sit on the couch and play games - the sleep/standby function is amazing.


I wanted to give OsmAnd a try, to replace my dependency on Google services. I could not for the life of me find a setting to correclty transliterate Japanese names to my native language. I only found three states: 1) Display original Japanese characters 2) Transliterate. Here the problem was, that oftentimes, it used the chinese pronounciation of the characters instead of Japanese. 3) use translated names, where a lot are missing, and then it falls back to the original characters.

openstreetmap.de (my local variant) correctly transliterates even the smallest region names in Japan.

In the end, I used Google Maps to navigate during my vacation, and everything just worked.


Did you file bugs explaining these problems? That's the first step for someone to look at them.

Second step is, of course, if you can even fix them yourself.


> Second step is, of course, if you can even fix them yourself.

It is very likely GP could fix them themself. OpenStreetMap allows for tagging the same map item with different language labels for exactly this reason. OsmAnd is likely simply picking the GP's preferred language, and when that label does not exist, using the language that /is/ available for display.

GP could insert the translations into OpenStreetMap (within the proper language tag) at which point they will be available to everyone using the data, including OsmAnd.


That sounds like a lot of extra effort that should not be necessary, given that per GP,
