The stock files app is lacking to say the least. Try Material Files and optionally Round Sync which will allow you to access all rclone supported remotes in the material files app.

I have a self hosted HA deployment that hasn’t been updated in a while. I haven’t updated it partially because they made the boneheaded move of deprecating their YAML config in favor of GUI-only config, and partially because the developers are insufferable dickholes....
Hey, I like YAML config just as much as the next guy, but I understand the decision to go the GUI way.
With large Home Assistant installs YAML gets really messy, and most changes require a reboot to show up (well, both issues could be fixed by the devs, but they chose otherwise). I really thought that I’d miss YAML, but so far it’s working just fine for me. Migration or restoring is a bit more tricky, as I prefer the start from scratch approach instead of the restore a 10 year old backup one.
Home Assistant’s (docker install) backup is just a zip file of the config folder. This makes it easier to fix things if needed, but isn’t as nice as editing YAML directly. I’d love to have option to use YAML if I want to and GUI otherwise.
As for developers being a bunch of assholes? Well, you’re right. Luckily the community is much better and much more helpful.
Sorry to hijack, but can anyone help me with my issue?
I’m using librewolf and since about a week or two I noticed a speed issue. Overall my internet is fast, way faster then I need in fact, but websites load at a unreasonably slow speed.
When opening anything librewolf just sits there loading for a few second (probably up to ~10) then page opens fine. Video playback works great too. What could be the issue?
True neutral right now, but since I’m already here, does anyone know if curved monitor is viable as a secondary display? I already have the monitor around, but since it’s not rotatable I can’t really try this setup for myself.
It’d be 27’ 1440p flat horizontally (main) and 24’ 1080p curved vertically next to it.
There are already several opinions about rooting, so I’m not entering that discussion, but I can share my view of ACC and AccA.
I’m the kind of person, who charges the phone over the night. My device theoretically supports 33W charging (can’t test this as I don’t have the stock charger), but when charging over the course of several hours I don’t need this speed.
I have the current limit set to 750mA and max charge in range of 90-95%. This works fine for me and in case I need a quick top-up there’s always Charge once to #%, without restrictions option.
I know it’s not your main point, but speed does matter, at least for some users.
It’s not often, but I regularly have to move relatively large amounts of data (20-40GB) between my phone and pc, sometimes (but not always ) in small batches (~4GB) with a ~10min breaks between to check stuff.
With this process already annoying because of MTP and the way windows file transfers work (no resume/retry over MTP, linux handles it way better) having a high speed connection make it a bit more manageable.
It’s a niche use-case, not very important, but it’s something I wanted to share.
3.25TB (2TB+1TB HDD with 256GB NVMe) locally with another 2TB mounted over the network and used as a media server. Games take up a relatively small amount of space in my setup as I try to keep them all on one 1TB drive (and it’s note even full) and I’m not playing much AAA games.
Most of my stuff in multimedia (photos, videos, uncompressed audio recordings) and backups (I had to upgrade it’s drive recently as I went over the 500GB and I didn’t want to store data over multiple drives)
Depends on the brand. Xiaomi will (in most cases) service the phone even if the bootloader was unlocked and os changed, you just need to restore it to stock state. I haven’t personally tried this, but I heard multiple stories confirming this.
Best alternative to Chromecast?
No apple TV please. Needs to support some kind of casting, and the addition of whatever googles casting is would be nice (for an oculus)
I'm amazed that Android doesn't have a built in way to connect to a network drive like iOS/iPadOS has
