The Samsung Galaxy S5 mini has a IP67 rating and a removable battery.

It's possible to produce water resistant phones with removable Batterien, but manufacturers would rather sell new phones instead of batteries.

It's difficult to know how much of a difference it makes, but I also think it's at least a reason. Given Nintendo is also going after sites like Vimm's Lair, which does not host recent consoles ROMs, it's not the only reason.

Yes. 1TB SSDs can be bought new for 50€, 500GB for even less. For some people this is expensive depending in the region (e.g. I also know someone who uses an HDD). But given the price of other pc parts it isn't something to cheap out on (a 1TB/2TB HDD is also 50€).

The survey was originally sent out on reddit /r/selfhosted, so I expect most respondents are from there.

Global hotkeys have been addressed on KDE, but no applications actually support it — one of the reasons being that no other desktops support it. Typical chicken-egg problem.

No, I haven't connected a Pi to a 4k TV.

Like others've said, Bitwarden is awesome if you want a (selfhosted or hosted) server (e.g. as a much better replacement for LastPass).

If you want an offline password manager, KeePass is the way to go (i.e. KeePassDX/KeePassXC for mobile/pc).

Analogue likely doesn't emulate the hardware at the transistor level, as it's far more difficult than doing what most software emulators do.

From an interesting (altough non-conclusive) HN-thread [1].

Without seeing the code, it's impossible to know where Analog's implementation falls on the spectrum of software emulation vs hardware simulation. There is nothing magical about FPGAs that automatically makes anything developed with them a 1:1 representation of real hardware. In fact, there are plenty of instances where the FPGA version of a particular console is literally just a representation of a popular emulator only in verilog/vhdl. In many instances, even the best FPGA implementations of some systems are still only simulating system level behavior. Off the top of my head, one famously difficult case is audio, where many chips have analog circuitry that cannot be fully simulated.

Agreed. Being able to customize all elements of the top bar is one of the great things about Firefox.
I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be possible to remove newly added elements. Even the "Open a new tab" button can be removed, as well as the recently added "View recent browsing across windows and devices" button.

FreeTube does not have controller support, and for AndroidTV I'd recommend SmartTube.

Kodi/LibreELEC is able to do all of it, but IMO it's not a good experience for browsing YouTube and I don't know how well the third party Steam Link integrations work.

This is why I'd also recommend LineageOS Android TV, which supports Pi's thanks to konstakang. But I'm not sure why it'd work better than a FireTV stick, since both run AndroidTV.

Edit: I've had an issue where the Pi 5 wouldn't boot AndroidTV, until I tried to turn it on again after a few weeks. So I'd recommend sticking with the FireTV + SmartTube + Jellyfin + Steam Link (unless you've got a Pi 5 lying around anyway).

Edit 2: The Pi 5 + Android TV had issues with HDMI-CEC of the TV, so I had to buy a remote with a USB adapter. This sends the wrong signals (e.g. keyboard enter, not what Android TV expects), which is fixable with some app remapper. Maybe it'll work better for you, but the FireTV is likely the easier solution.

IIRC the acceleration curves supported by Sway are the same as libinput, at least that's how I understood the poor pieces of Dokumentation I found [1]. I don't think think libinput supports offsets and upper limits, so it's not really useful for gaming.

I'd recommend going with leetmouse, which does work well (altough I don't use it anymore).

leetmouse by systemofapwne is more up to date and includes the PR of N-R-K [2].

I agree that there are many great free streaming sites out there, with 1080p and good quality.

But quality is still an advantage of paid services (or acquirung the larger files in other ways). Streaming with higher bitrate costs way more bandwidth (= money) while being marginally better.

It's noticeable though, if you have a good, large enough display. Especially darker scenes suffer from low bitrate. On my phone I don't notice it at all.

That's even true for high bitrate. E.g. I've even compared a Reacher WEB-DL to BluRay remux, and the latter was noticeably better — not that it's worth the additional storage usage.
