I moved from Grimmory to BookOrbit due to the lower resource usage and absolutely love it.

I am with you, I love the anesthetics of a Casio but hate how the face has so much text.

How do you like the Instinct 3 Solar? I'm considering one for the exceptional battery life.
Re:Brave Origin on Thursday June 04, 2026 @02:18PM (#48402503)
They address that in the FAQ:

Some early Brave Origin users have asked how Brave can maintain user privacy while requiring a purchase ID (either from a Brave premium account or from the App Store / Play Store).

Brave uses a blind token protocol based on Privacy Pass, which decouples payment identity from service usage. These privacy-preserving subscription credentials allow the browser to verify you have a valid purchase of a premium product (like Origin) without learning anything about you.

Re:Plex's price hikes prove I was right to switch to Jellyfin on Sunday May 10, 2026 @08:14PM (#48089549)
> I would abandon Plex completely, but I still haven't found a capable app to remotely stream the 2.5TB of music on my Synology.

I would look at Navidrome. Completely focused on music, and for that application much better than either plex or jellyfin.

Re:Cloudflare Email Service on Thursday April 16, 2026 @11:50AM (#47795129)
I wish they had developed the open source Inbox into a consumer hosted email service for users. It would have been nice to see more competition with Google and Microsoft.

Re:Plex announced to block instances on German hosting provider Hetzner on Friday September 15, 2023 @04:15PM (#37528594)
What’s a good app for iOS or tvOS? It looks like the official jellyfin app for iOS hasn’t been updated in a year.
