It’s indeed not enforced here, but on top of that the police would really like to know that you have cameras filming public space.

Not so they can do something about it, but so they know they can come to you to ask for footage if something happens.

If all that was stopping them was the domain name, surely they were never really gone?

I don’t see the problem. If the files are named properly, software like sonarr will have no problem organising it. You just name the file S02E4-E6 etc.

Well then why aren’t they doing so now? They’re already maintaining their own forks of android, should be pretty trivial to do.

I think that was mainly solved (here in the EU at least) by requiring a choice of search engine when first opening a browser.

In the 1 September update they state they found that web client and a mobile client as well, but not the API (I guess) containing the system prompt and the actual routing to the models.

Unfortunately the app developer themselves have decided to only allow installs from the play store. Not much you can do about that, though I wonder if that’s something revanced could possibly patch out of the apk.

Apparently they keep posting updates on their discord for some reason. This is the last response someone shared on github:

Hi everyone, it’s July 25. Yesterday, the devs and mod team here have begun (early) alpha testing of the new Lidarr metadata server.

In general, things are working fairly well. There are a few issues to resolve before it can go live. But we wanted to let everyone know that we have some concrete forward movement happening behind the scenes.

NOTE: This stage of testing is NOT OPEN to users. We appreciate your patience, but at this stage you cannot help. This update is meant to let you know that the project is not dead, as some have incorrectly theorized, and that there is behind-the-scenes work heading toward getting the new metadata server up and running as quickly as possible.

Please continue to be patient, and continue to use this channel for Lidarr support questions. If you have other conversation topics, please use ⁠general or another more appropriate channel for that.

Thank you from the devs and mod team.

You don’t, there’s privacy respecting ways of delivering notifications in android.

Also, a 24/7 connection to a server isn’t nearly as bad as you might think.

The connection isn’t active the whole time, it only uses any significant amount of battery if there’s actually data being sent or received. You likely already have quite a few of them anyway, how do you think systems normally listen for push notifications?

Besides all that, I read in other comments that the privacy issue was the device id firebase needs. Obviously apple also needs some kind of device id, otherwise how do they know where the notifications are going?

Did some searching, yup apple also needs a unique identifier:

When it’s time to send a notification, you generate a request that contains the notification data and a unique identifier for the user’s device.

From https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting-up-a-remote-notification-server

That doesn’t have anything to do with how you install the app.

You could probably do it with http if the server properly supports the content range headers.

Pretty sure both windows and macos allow programs to interrupt shutdown, usually if there’s any unsaved documents open. I quite like that feature actually, if it’s used correctly anyway.

uh, no? on smartphones, yes, but not on computers.

That’s not true. Most operating systems at least have filesystem permissions, and on a lot of Linux distros you additionally get AppArmor or PolKit to further restrict what files a program can read/write.

I have never had a suspicious transaction, because the way payments work here (NL) they always need to be authorised, and recurring payments require a different authorisation that you can of course always cancel. You can’t just take money by knowing the card number and cvv (which we also don’t have (yet)).

Actually I think I remember watching a technology connections video about how card in the US can use the headlights as a turn signal, or something like that. I don’t think that’s allowed in Europe or the EU or whatever.

Found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1lZ9n2bxWA

I’m pretty sure most cars have a turn signal near the headlights, and one on the mirror or on the side for that use case, no?

Sure, but I’m not paying for every byte sent overy network, while I am paying for every kWh I use.

That’s all beside the point though, this is just a fun diy project so who cares really.

That’s the one. I dong get any insights either, but iirc it did stop my emails from automatically going to spam. It’s been a while though, and I remember trying a whole bunch of different things, but I believe that’s what eventually fixed it.

Though now that I think about it, I did have to register my domain with Google in some way to stop being flagged as spam iirc.

I also self hosted for years (using tuta mail with my own domain now), and have never had issues with my deliverability either.
