Yeah, I’m not wishing for two pointers either. The current setup with Remote Mouse software allows two devices to move the single pointer at the same time but since kdeconnect software allows sharing of files and notifications from phone onto the PC, I’m not sure how connecting two devices will work. Guess I’ll figure it out as I set it up.
I came across a reference to kdeconnect while reading related stuff but I really looked it up after your comment. I’m using Debian on my machine and am currently using free version of Remote Mouse which allows very limited actions without posting. Kdeconnect sounds like it could take care of that and more. I just hope it supports two person controlling the same PC.
This will be in complimentary to a physical button IR remote that I’m aiming to implement after this post. Thanks.
I’ll have to read up on what you mean using IR remotes to control a Pi through HDMI HEC. The computer I’m using has an DP output that I’ve used an adapter to feed to my TV HDMI. So I may not be able to use your setup. But it sounds novel and interesting so I would definitely like to learn more. Thanks.
That sounds like a good approach. I’ll try and explore this. Thanks.
I’m setting up a media PC for my TV using refurbished hardware. The biggest pain right now is controlling the interface. I got one of those cheap keyboards with trackpads but they stopped working in a month. Reading this post makes me wonder if I can reuse one of the old IR remotes lying around in my home. Generating shortcut keys and binding them might be easy but what can be done for text/voice to text input?
Sites like Anna’s library should permit users to flag books without OCR and permit users to submit OCR version of the books.
And that’s why tools like gamma.app exist
If they are not copyright material, upload them on YouTube and make the videos private.
Edit: i just noticed the sub. Oops
This joke should be made into an annual tradition for this sub
No, that’s not it. I’m comfortably safe at 8 gigs.
That’s the thing, I’m not closing the application on Android. Just switching to another application.
No, I got that but like I said, it is just a force of habit for me to use private window during my web use. I need to use internet on multiple systems as part of my work and it’s just become natural for me to open a private session to search and do stuff and not to leave any login sessions open by mistake.
But I reading the replies makes me realise that it must be android’s aggressive battery saving tricks that kills Firefox active private sessions. But it is sad that I’m noticing this only for Firefox while Brave browser is exempt. Maybe because it is chromium based.
I’m trying hard to make Firefox my main browser on my phone. Out of habit, I browse in Private Mode and bookmark stuff I want to remember. Every so often though, Firefox closes the open private tabs when switch between apps. There is no real way to replicate this so I can submit a bug report. I’m not sure what I can do about it.
Good of them to bring the add ons though, I’ll keep persisting with the fox.
Just want to add for anyone who might attempt this, my IRC client of choice is Pidgin. Open source and works on windows as well as Linux (not sure about iOS). Most tutorials suggest the good old mIRC, but using it after the trial period increasingly becomes a pain with its wait screen with timer.
The algo of our overlords has decided that your life will be better with cats. You just don’t know it yet. Get one. Resistance is futile.
I’m having a good experience with Samsung DeX on an 7 year old TV. Gives me a trackpad with keypad on my phone to navigate a full OS on a large screen. In a pinch, I connected a Bluetooth keyboard to my phone and have even used it as a document editor using Google Docs without any hitch.
There is an app called OnStream that works on Android. If you are okay with putting third party apps (non open source) on your device, that is.
Does Immich support deduplication of images? I have a large set of old scanned photos that I put on photoprism that has deduplication listed as one of its features. It puts photos in its own database.
Also, how is the face recognition of Immich when compared to others like photoprism?
You’ll probably also need a speaker to connect to the monitor to make it sound good. Long ago, I set it up on a 23" full HD monitor back when even 32" TVs were not full HD.
I’ve set up tailscale in the past week and fallen in love with the ease of use. So, this has my vote too. But, if i was doing this, i would chop the file into, say, 500mb parts using 7z or WinZip and then transfer it through SCP (WinSCP if using windows) over tailscale IPs.
