I wanna buy some headphones to go outside i don't want to spend more than 100€ on them. I want them to be mostly durable and secondly to have good sound quality, also i don't want to look like a jackass while wearing them, any suggestions?

Where did that guy's search engine thread go? with he bare IP http sites? I want someone to talk about web crawling with.

I've made a crawler (and then un-made it so it just indexes a given site now), i wanna know how u crawl such that it doesnt take like a million years if you get you a blog or something with too many pages without linking out even (waste of bandwidth and CPU). I'd like to find sites with a very specific feature, but it requires smth a little more intelligent (sites which redirect logins offsite to separate auth or payment website).

Keep lowering the average bitrate until you get the smallest one that doesn't compromise video quality
Webm with vp9 codec is the more efficient compression
500-1000kbps is a good range for 720p or even 1080p vp9 video
Compress audio in libopus with 32-64kbps

Honestly, I'd use AGPLv3 for everything, non-web included. You don't know how your software will develop, and AGPLv3 closes a network loophole of GPLv3 which perhaps could be exploited in the future. AGPLv3 is compatible with GPLv3+, so you should see it as the successor to GPLv3 rather than an alternative to it.

Also, I'd use AGPLv3+ to be future-proof, because I trust the FSF to keep plugging holes in their license.

I finally learned to use wget this week and used it to download all files of a type from a page. I'm kicking myself for not learning how to use it sooner.

wget –user-agent=Mozilla –recursive –level=1 –accept jpg –no-directories "https://twitter.com/whatever"

Haven't tried it with twitter but that should get all the JPG files from a twitter page and nothing else.

Oh man, I had no idea you could do this.
Usually what I want to do and give up because its a hassle, is on a site with multiple images, click each image/video and download the video/image that is embedded in the page.

Maybe some ask/sed magic piped to wget would do the job.

man it changed everything for me lol. tbh I didn't even write that basic command, just searched "how to download all files from a page wget linux" then found a page that explained the command with examples. Someone probably wrote a command to do exactly what you need.

I was wondering, have any of you guys experience bluetooth connection issues on linux?

I originally got into linux through manjaro, and it was great until about a year later, where I had issues with bluetooth connection, (plus others, but I won't pad the post with them), I then switched to mint.

On mint, similar issues, (plus new ones since of KDE + mint = bad tim), and then switched to opensuse.

It was then I realized the solution for the bluetooth problem, don't installing tlp.
I forgot I installed it before, but when I installed since of opensuse's poor battery life, my bluetooth became just as bad as on mint and manjaro.
(Granted, the most days I have ran opensuse without rebooting is a week since I get like 100 updates a day, and some ask for me to reboot).

Have you guys experience this tlp and bluetooth issue?
Or alternatively: you find the two working together fine, but instead have other issues with the bluetooth?
I spend like 10 hours in the past trying to fine a solution to the bluetooth issue, and it was insane that it was a issue with tlp, (especially since the problem seemed to only appear days after you installed tlp).

>>19167
No, (assuming that the rss feed you're using is the channel link itself, which is what I use).

>>19421
It lowers the entry level of getting into the field.
It only makes things "worse for everone" since it's development, like all other technology, is meant to boost productivty, and lower the amount workers.

>>19150
If I remember correctly, tails just makes the computer harder to identify when you're using tor.
It wouldn't give you any additional benefits when using the element app, other than (if there is) cache that its written to the pcs ram, which will be wiped when you turn it off.

Most peripherals are broken in some ways. The firmware often has to deal with unreliable hardware and drivers need to be coded around buggy firmware. For this dance to work, each layer needs to be sufficiently specified and debugged.
Many vendors don't care much for linux (though significantly more then for the BSDs). They either offer low-quality contributions, don't provide open-source implementors with sufficient documentation, or are actively trying to make their work even harder. This leads to scenarios such as my laptops network card not being able to use both wifi and bluetooth under linux.
>It was then I realized the solution for the bluetooth problem, don't installing tlp.
IIRC the default tlp config sets peripherals in powersaving mode. Linux drivers could have badly tuned timeouts or missing wakeup event handlers, that interfere with open connections. See the kernel documentation on device power management https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.14/driver-api/pm/devices.html

How do you block this site, and leftychan in the /etc/hosts/ file?

Just temporary – except for leftychan – since I procrastinate too much, plus I prefer phone posting so I can associate my computer for work.
Though I don't know what device would handle the convertion and of the femboydom videos, nor what device will get the probably now 100 of book marks for porn tag combinations and stuff.

Every other site I tried has worked – with the exception of amazon but that needed the cache to be wiped – but this site for some reason gets around it.

>>22389
You could go on those website that have a list of public emails, the email you're looking for is a code so it can't do any harm if someone else sees the code.
Or alternatively you can get a different email that doesn't need an email like >>22390 , >>23011 , or any email service that you can close that which also doesn't permantly store that data.

Other than privacy and no java script, what do these engines offer?
Not a gotcha or anything, I'm just interested in finding a search engine, or a combination with an extension – that doesn't do googles approach of having an ai give inflated website that are
optimized to be picked by the ai.

"Inflated website" – for those who don't know what I'm talking about – websites that have the answer or not, but also have extra paragraphs of information that you don't care about.
Example:
>Search: "re:zero season 3"
>Site: https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/fantasy/anime/re-zero-season-3-release-date/
<Answer is half way in the artcile, most of it is infromation about the show which you already know about.
Least worst example, but this is what you will see more commonly at the top of results.

I'm blocking javascript by default. LibreX seems nice though. I hope the instances get added to SearXRNG or something similar.
I don't like the redirection to privacy frontends some meta-searches are doing, they interfere with my own filters. I've seen some sites redirect to cuckflared services.

>I'm just interested in finding a search engine, or a combination with an extension – that doesn't do googles approach of having an ai give inflated website that are

There is a twofold problem of all successfull general search engines thus far having bootstraped off the google index in some way and SEO methods gaming even the simplest web crawlers.
There are a few curated search engines (see >>22715), but i often don't get great results from them. See the discussion under >>20783 on how to make using the other general searches bearable.
