Android to iPhone, whats it like? (Update) in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] seemebreakthis@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I fully realize OP isn't trying to start a phone war, but there seems to be a few misconceptions in his original post, like hinting on something that do not exist in Android Auto when in fact AA has many of those features built in, that make me cringe a little. I just feel it would be nice if some of the factual info can be corrected...

I have to respectfully disagree with many of the points you mentioned, and I believe it really boils down to the different android phone models that can provide a very different user experience.

I have been using my Xiaomi Mi 11 for a maybe 18 months now, and going through some of your points but from this phone's perspective:

  1. iOS has smooth animations for everything, is quicker for searching and finding apps, and just plain looks better to me - the Miui interface is renowned / notorious for being a copycat of the iOS interface, so I actually see no big difference from the iOS interface. But Android being Android, it is highly customizable, and with my phone rooted, I actually have the iOS's own San Francisco system font installed (I hated Android's default roboto font), and have customized the main page to have two news update widgets just the way I wanted it. My background is an animated waterfall that to me looks stunning (created from my own video shot during a hiking trip). I know it is subjective, but honestly I see it the other way around. Android, with the right phone model and when setup right, can have butter smooth animations for everything, is just as quick if not quicker for searching and finding apps (I literally have the apps organized in their respective folders, never difficult to find), and it just plain looks better to me especially with the animated background of my own choice.

  2. some stutter in animations and slow app indexing through their search bar - ... yeah it probably has something to do with your old phone. No problem whatsoever over here. 120Mhz refresh rate. Butter smooth all day long.

  3. iMESSAGE AND FACETIME - can't comment here. Facetime especially can be a headache if everyone else is using an iPhone.

  4. Voice Assistant - haven't tried Siri for years. But I have been using Google Assistant both in Android Auto and (to a lesser extent) on the phone itself. No complaints there. I have a Google Nest Audio device too and thought it integrates well with my phone and my smart home (turning lights on/off, activating the home alarm system, interfacing with Home Assistant, etc)

  5. CarPlay is quite a bit ahead here as well - hmm this is where I am really quite confused. My wireless Android Auto works extremely well with my vehicle. It starts up as soon as I enter my car in like less than one second with a totally seamless process (as in I do not need to do anything at all). With the coolwalk version of AA (released for more than 6 months already I believe), it actually has everything you mentioned that are available on Carplay: No warning message, time IS near the driver, app bar IS on the right where I sit (we have steering wheels on the right side). My AA IS smooth and is already wireless without any need for any dongle. And since my phone is rooted, I can even tweak my AA to play videos which is nice when your car is parked and you are waiting for someone for instance. Here is a snapshot:

On my Firefox Android I have "installed" Lemmy (specifically lemm.ee) as a web app. When I quit this app everytime Firefox crashes. Anyone else have the same issue?

If such a big group can kill themselves together, I have a feeling they can communicate... Probably a group decision

Mine is a Xiaomi phone, so probably not just pixel exclusive...

Is this new or has it actually existed for a long time? Stumbled upon it when I was typing this in a whatsapp conversation: "Should I call him?", then this graphic popped up:

I then started trying random words, and discovered for at least a few short phrases, and a little more number of singular words, as soon as you enter a punctuation after the word/phrase such as a period, question mark, at the end, the suggested graphic would show up:

  • Yes!
  • No.
  • Good?
  • I love you!
  • Cheers!

Some (like Cheers) even have accompanying beer mugs to go along with the word art.

What other words / phrases are there to trigger these word graphic?

Jellyfin on Android Auto - why 'no items'? in c/jellyfin@lemmy.ml
[–] seemebreakthis@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because I have no audio content in my Jellyfin server.

Jellyfin on Android Auto - why 'no items'? in c/jellyfin@lemmy.ml
[–] seemebreakthis@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

OP here. I am only using Jellyfin only for videos, and for that, Fermata is actually a pretty good app to let you access Jellyfin via Android Auto to watch videos.

I am pretty sure Jellyfin AA works as it should (for audio only, which I did not know about) otherwise there would have been lots of posts on Reddit prior to the exodus...

How do I add an IPTV .m3u stream with a username and password? (lemm.ee)
 

The m3u list is accessible like this (example only) https://hello:there@example.com/tv.m3u

So it has a username and password of 'hello' and 'there'.

If I enter the URL in a browser, the m3u gets downloaded. But if I enter the same thing in Jellyfin Live TV Tuner Devices setup as a new M3U Tuner, it returns with an error: "There was an error saving the TV provider. Please ensure it is accessible and try again."

Any help to add it would be greatly appreciated.

The Jellyfin app on my Android phone runs normally when not connected to Android Auto.

But when AA takes over, and I run Jellyfin on AA's dashboard app list, it shows the screen below:

Doesn't seem like it is accepting any input. Is this an issue or have I missed a step?

Edit: problem solved. Or I should say there is no problem in the first place. Jellyfin AA simply only plays audio, and it doesn't support video playback period. My Jellyfin only has videos hence "no item" (no audio item).

Can I configure my Synology Mail Server to send out DMARC reports (a.k.a. RUA / RUF reports)? (lemm.ee)
 

As titled. I receive these reports from other servers like Google / Yahoo / Outlook.com, but I want to 'play nice' in the world of email exchange and do my part in generating these reports for other e-mail servers as necessary.

I doubt Synology Mail Server generates these reports by default. So is there any way to set up DMARC RUA/RUF report generation?

Why some prefer Plex over Jellyfin (lemm.ee)
 

I have only used Plex very briefly before I moved to try Emby then Jellyfin. Granted I am not a heavy user of a media server - basically no one else in my household uses it, and I don’t have a lot of content, but I do use sonarr / radarr with it.

The moment Plex put me off was when I realized a Plex Pass was needed to add transcoding capability. What are some of the reasons people like Plex better than Jellyfin, other than those who have been using Plex forever and are just too lazy to explore other options?

Acme.sh automated process to renew Let's Encrypt certificate? (lemm.ee)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by seemebreakthis@lemm.ee to c/synology@feddit.de

Does anyone here have a working setup of automated acme.sh that renews the certificates every three months?

I tried to setup something but I think I saw an error message when I run it, and due to the way let's encrypt rejects requests when the certificate is not due for renewal, I can't really tell what exactly is the problem as I simply can't repeatedly run my process and check where the error stems from.

Would be great if someone can share a setup that they are currently using that works.

Edit: It finally came time to renew again, and what I have already entered into task scheduler was fired, and the certificate seems to have been renewed successfully.

So basically, just download the latest acme.sh, then add a task in your task scheduler that runs this:

bash /root/.acme.sh/acme.sh --renew -d xyz.com
