Alright that doesn’t sound that bad. I have a Mi Band 3 and haven’t upgraded to anything else due to the need to get a key with anything newer.

How was the Bangle JS2? What made you switch away from it?

I thought about using Amazfit products but all the new ones require Huami/Xiaomi server pairing. How was that process?

The problem I had with products like Airalo is that if you are traveling and need to actually call a hotel, excursion, or any company in the country you are visiting you cannot do that with just a data eSIM like Airalo.

Sure you could use WiFi calling maybe but in my experience when I really needed to call someone I had to switch back to my original carrier and incur the $10/day fee.

My problem with Symphony and other music apps like Auxio is that they don’t work with audiobooks and file types like m4b. Simple Music Player worked for me when playing all my audio files but now I am waiting for the Fossify version to be published.

Thank you! I had no idea development had stopped but I see that now in their GitHub repository.

That’s a good starter list. However it should be noted that all the Simple apps should be avoided now and instead people should use the forked versions from Fossify.

And/or with SponsorBlock if you don’t care about sending that data to the open APIs. It’s pretty useful if some channels you watch have a lot of sponsors, self promotions, etc.

Thank you! I didn’t know they also made an app that does this. For anyone looking for the link it’s the following: https://grayjay.app/

I’d also recommend looking into their other projects such as their Android voice input app: https://voiceinput.futo.org/

Or other projects: https://futo.org/projects/

Thanks for this! I use Wallabag and love it but doesn’t hurt to look at other products. Would be nice if they had an non-Google deploy of their Android app.

I personally use Mullvad and love it but it is not conducive to helping seed due to port forwarding being blocked.

Like another person said they resolved to that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/8ww4h2/protonvpn_and_tesonet/

I guess you decide if you like the response or not but that was a long time ago as well. 🙂

Pretty sure there are 5 Red Rising books and 6th one due out this year. 🙂

As others have said you can set these Reolink PoE cameras up on different systems without using their app forever.

I for one have set up Reolink cameras on Synology’s Surveillance Station successfully after a one time setup with Reolink’s app. Meaning I used their app to get it connected to my WiFi and then immediately set the camera’s DNS etc. to it’s own IP.

Once that was accomplished I set up the camera on Synology and now I only use Synology’s app for access. In no way does Reolink successfully phone home after this. While it isn’t ideal it’s pretty great once this is completed.
