If the main battery isn’t “meant to be replaced”, it will often act as the CMOS battery (e.g. MacBooks have been doing this since roughly 2008).

Yesss fcast looks incredibly promising. Sadly the only app implementing it seems to be GrayJay, I really hope it will catch on more.

TVHeadend is the way, I’ve been running it with a USB satellite tuner for 5+ years. Setting it up can be a little confusing, but once it’s running you pretty much never have to touch it again.

As for clients, there’s a Jellyfin plugin, however it seems to not work for me right now.

My client of choice is Kodi with the TVHeadend plugin, and that works great. If you still want Jellyfin integration, you could just add your recordings folder as a library in Jellyfin.

Could I purchase two different brand drives and use them with btrfs?

I don’t quite remember the source for this, but I believe I read some time ago that it’s actually a good thing to have separate drives. The reasoning is, if you buy two identical drives (at the same time), the likelyhood of both drives failing around the same time is severely higher.

This is then amplified by the fact that rebuilding a RAID puts a lot of strain on the non-dead drive, so if ie. drive 1 dies and drive 2 is about to die, the strain you put on drive 2 in order to rebuild your RAID onto drive 3 might kill drive 2 before you even finish rebuilding your RAID.

Again, this is just from my memory, it might be worth doing some more research on.

I believe Blurays are still a very good medium for long term data storage, like a cold offsite backup.

I absolutely loved Splatoon 2, especially the DLC. It’s such a shame that you have to pay for online battles though.

I believe WhatsApp needs the mobile app to connect to WhatsApp’s servers at least once every two weeks.

I think your best bet would be getting the cheapest phone you can find that will run a recent WhatsApp version, and then just leaving that at home connected to the internet. You could then use any WhatsApp web client (the website, some app, a matrix bridge, …) to actually use WhatsApp on the go.

It’s currently in early development and I don’t know how well it works, but Xournal++ mobile is a thing. Its desktop app is really good, so I’d expect the mobile app to eventually get there aswell.

Edit: Whoops skipped the drawing part, Xournal++ is more for note-taking. Krita is a good choice for drawing.

Dolphin (Wii and Gamecube emulator) sounds like something for you.

MineTest should also fit your criteria.

I believe there are a few games on F-Droid, I haven’t tried any of them tho. Other than that, I believe the best games for you would be Wii games or an older console. Possibly also switch (with yuzu if you find an apk), but that requires a beefy phone.

I really wanted to switch to Cuda, but there are a few small features missing which is super infuriating to me.

I can’t think of any off the top of my head right now though.

If you’re ok with using your tablet as a drawing tablet with your PC, I use an app called Virtual Tablet for that. Sadly it appears to be Windows and MacOS only, but a quick search led to Weylus. I have no idea how well this works and never tried it, but from the readme it sounds pretty good.

I’m in the same boat with my Reverb G2…

I use Transistor for internet radio, but I imagine it should work for your use case too.

Proxigram is like bibliogram. You can use one of their public instances

OpenStreetMaps editors have satellite maps (ie. Vespucci for Android). I don’t know of any standalone apps, but i never really searched for them either.

Hm, must be a OneUI thing then

Miracast is pretty good, but I don’t think it supports DRM-content. Also it seems to be getting phased out in favor of chromecast.

My Android 12 Samsung phone can show me all duplicate files right in the android storage settings

This looks awesome, Thanks!

I started making an Android app for it here. It’s obviously still in a very early stage, but it can already kind of display profiles. Also disclaimer I don’t really know what I’m doing, this is more of a yolo I wanna look into Android app development kinda thing.
