Die breite Verfügbarkeit von Billig-Alkohol in Deutschland muss aufhören
  • Wie auch im Artikel beschrieben, ist eine Erhöhung der Alkoholsteuer unbeliebt.

    Ich trinke auch gerne, und auch mal mehr als die beschriebenen 5 Getränke, dementsprechend käme mir eine Verteuerung von alkoholischen Getränken äußerst ungelegen.

    Aber bei dem Verbot von Mischgetränken stimme ich dem Author voll und ganz zu.

    Letztendlich habe ich bei mir beim Cannabis keinen Zusammenhang zwischen Preis und Konsum feststellen können (Konsum blieb gleich, Kosten gingen runter). Andererseits ist mein Alkoholkonsum in Bars/Diskos deutlich niedriger, weil teuer. Gesamtgesellschaftlich gibt es mit Sicherheit einen Zusammenhang.

  • YouTube hat ein Problem mit Clickbait-"Wissens"-Content [Originaltitel: Ich klicke auf Clickbait, damit ihr nicht müsst]
  • Leider bin ich selbst vor inzwischen einigen Jahren auf solche (Fake-)"Wissens-"Kanäle hereingefallen.

    Ein Beispiel sind "künstliche Kiemen", die vor ca. 10 Jahren die Runde machten. Damit soll ohne Sauerstoffflasche unter Wasser geatmet werden können, da ein handlicher Filter den Sauerstoff aus dem Wasser herausfiltern soll.

    Leider müssten dafür unrealistische Mengen an Wasser pro Minute durch den Filter strömen, um nur ansatzweise funktionieren zu können.

    Zweifel hatte ich damals schon, nur erschien mir der Kanal sonst als größtenteils glaubwürdig. Heute halte ich mich für deutlich kritischer, nicht zuletzt wegen solchen Lügen, die ich nur zu gern glauben wollte — Leider klappt das auch nicht immer.

    Edit: Das verstecken von Dislikes macht das Einschätzen von Kanälen noch schwieriger. Damals ließ sich zumindest ansatzweise die Qualität von Videos einschätzen, wenn ein Video überproportional viele Dislikes hatte.

  • how can i self host my music?
  • Yes, the restriction to a single VPN client is annoying.

    Blocking ad/telemetry domains can be done by adding Adguards DNS servers in the OS settings. Sadly blocking apps Internet permissions completely is not possible (except on OS like LineageOS, CalyxOS or GrapheneOS).

  • how can i self host my music?
  • 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).

  • Mario & Luigi: Brothership ROM leaked online
  • It's difficult to know how much of a difference it makes, but I also think it's at least a reason. Given Nintendo is also going after sites like Vimm's Lair, which does not host recent consoles ROMs, it's not the only reason.

  • I have a question about flatpak
  • Yes. 1TB SSDs can be bought new for 50€, 500GB for even less. For some people this is expensive depending in the region (e.g. I also know someone who uses an HDD). But given the price of other pc parts it isn't something to cheap out on (a 1TB/2TB HDD is also 50€).

  • Was der digitale Euro bringen soll
  • Das amerikanische Anbieter mitmachen, ist nicht besonders überraschend, schließlich ist das bei dem europäischen Cloud-Projekt Gaia-X auch passiert.

    Gaia-X ist ein Produkt europäischer Bemühungen, souveräner und unabhängiger von US-Technologiekonzernen zu werden.

    Die Nachricht, dass Google, Microsoft und Amazon bei Gaia-X mitmachen, kam deshalb für viele überraschend.

  • what is your Favorite passwords manager and why
  • Like others've said, Bitwarden is awesome if you want a (selfhosted or hosted) server (e.g. as a much better replacement for LastPass).

    If you want an offline password manager, KeePass is the way to go (i.e. KeePassDX/KeePassXC for mobile/pc).

  • Analogue’s 4K Nintendo 64 launches next year for $249
  • Analogue likely doesn't emulate the hardware at the transistor level, as it's far more difficult than doing what most software emulators do.

    From an interesting (altough non-conclusive) HN-thread [1].

    Without seeing the code, it's impossible to know where Analog's implementation falls on the spectrum of software emulation vs hardware simulation. There is nothing magical about FPGAs that automatically makes anything developed with them a 1:1 representation of real hardware. In fact, there are plenty of instances where the FPGA version of a particular console is literally just a representation of a popular emulator only in verilog/vhdl. In many instances, even the best FPGA implementations of some systems are still only simulating system level behavior. Off the top of my head, one famously difficult case is audio, where many chips have analog circuitry that cannot be fully simulated.

  • Schummeln beim Videospielen: Sony verliert im Streit über Cheatsoftware
  • Letztendlich ist es schwer dazwischen zu unterscheiden. Ein Cheat läuft immer lokal auf der eigenen Hardware.

    Im Falle der PSP ist es mit Sicherheit offline, aber inzwischen enthalten die meisten Spiele Online-Elemente, selbst wenn sie eigentlich offline spielbar sind (bzw. sein müssten).

    Ich glaube, es ist sehr schwer, cheats für Online-Spiele zu verbieten, ohne auch rechtliche Schritte gegen cheats für Singleplayer-Spiele zu ermöglichen.

    Z.B. gibt es zwar das Recht auf eine Privatkopie, aber nur, solange kein Kopierschutz umgangen wird. Nun haben seit Jahrzehnten CD's einen unwirksamen Kopierschutz, aber rechtlich sind Privatkopien trotzdem verboten.

    So langsam gehen die CD's kaputt, und eigentlich darf niemand die Daten darauf für sich selbst und die Nachwelt aufbewahren.

    Wenn Cheats rechtlich verboten werden, könnte ein schlecht formuliertes Gesetz/Gerichtsentscheidung lokale Modifikation von jeglicher Software verbieten. Das wäre problematisch für alles Mögliche, vom Sicherheitslücken finden, zu Preservation für die Nachwelt und auch einfaches Modding

    Edit: IBKA

  • Firefox adds option to remove 'List All Tabs' button after user backlash
  • 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.

  • Media Center Question - Jellyfin/Steam/YT
  • FreeTube does not have controller support, and for AndroidTV I'd recommend SmartTube.

    Kodi/LibreELEC is able to do all of it, but IMO it's not a good experience for browsing YouTube and I don't know how well the third party Steam Link integrations work.

    This is why I'd also recommend LineageOS Android TV, which supports Pi's thanks to konstakang. But I'm not sure why it'd work better than a FireTV stick, since both run AndroidTV.

    Edit: I've had an issue where the Pi 5 wouldn't boot AndroidTV, until I tried to turn it on again after a few weeks. So I'd recommend sticking with the FireTV + SmartTube + Jellyfin + Steam Link (unless you've got a Pi 5 lying around anyway).

    Edit 2: The Pi 5 + Android TV had issues with HDMI-CEC of the TV, so I had to buy a remote with a USB adapter. This sends the wrong signals (e.g. keyboard enter, not what Android TV expects), which is fixable with some app remapper. Maybe it'll work better for you, but the FireTV is likely the easier solution.
