p7zip has been around since early 2000’s I think, and the official version from early 2020’s, so I wonder why that kind of info has been floating around…

Was so proud when my kid stated that ”If the thing is good enough, it does not need advertising. Only poor stuff needs that.”

Does not really matter that much as the foe from the east will litter the place with their nastiest stuff anyways. The warzone will be wasteland for years or decades, so it will make very little sense to complicate one of the most simple pieces of equipment. It’s also one of the most effective one against the centuries old ”meat wave” tactic.

** for Android (and Windows/macOS/Linux) but not iOS.

And apparently never going to be as some key component is written in Java. Other technical obstacles should be solvable (like f.ex. getting continuous running in bg by exploiting location services like iSH can do)

True that. Although in a would be tri-party system, so in case this new party gains somewhat reasonable backing, it gains significant bargaining power over the much bigger parties because it would likely hold keys to majority vote. So it might just become much greater than its apparent size… But yeah, I doubt much anything comes out of this.

Not to mention the other great features of the shiny new context menu: Annoying little lag when opening, and changing of the content about 1.5 secs after it has opened — right when you have started to click some item so you end up doing some random unintended thing. Chef’s kiss

Orion Browser on iOS/iPadOS is compatible with (some, not all) Firefox/Chrome addons. Add SponsorBlock for YouTube, uBlock Origin and Video Background Play Fix from addons.mozilla.org and use the YouTube website as is?

Used to run my own Invidious instance I used with Yattee but it got banned and then for some reason ate shit and died completely.

Or maybe it pops the link out of the browser into a dedicated media player which has decent codec support.

I think this is exactly what it does.

With iDevices no luck with mkv’s if I remember right, but not sure if I have even tested one. Most my files are mp4 x264.

Mostly using the ”browser” (so shitty that you can barely call it one) on my LG smart TV, and sometimes some iDevices, but I’ll consider myself lucky with codecs then. Even mkv’s play on LG without hiccups. Only small thing I miss are subtitles which these devices do not seem to support, even if I’d mux them in as a track.

Someone should explain me why transcoding is even needed (other than in case bandwidth is an issue)? My ”media server” at the moment is a custom ffmpeg script to edit all x264 mp4 files it finds by moving the moov atom to the beginning of the file (and what ever the similar thing for x265 was), and then lighttpd to serve them via dir listing. No file has yet had playback issues even over the internet…

What is free though is LibreOffice, or some Nextcloud document addons (to a degree) if ”cloud” is the thing.
