You can also go to View in the menu and click "Filter by active branch" (Ctrl+Shift+A).

Also if you, like me, wanted to blame or view history for specific files there does not seem to be a way by clicking in the GUI to achieve it. But by using Ctrl+P you get the command search and can search for "Blame" or "File history".

If you want an easy to use project to get a map and feed to different sites like adsbexchange and flightradar24, I would recommend checking out: https://github.com/sdr-enthusiasts https://github.com/sdr-enthusiasts/docker-adsb-ultrafeeder https://github.com/sdr-enthusiasts/docker-flightradar24 https://adsb.im/home

There is a good community out there on github and discord that have flight tracking as a hobby. In addition to ADS-B there is also voice radio transmissions from aircraft (airband) and text messages (ACARS) etc. If you get hooked there is lots of different things to tinker with.

Or a way worse touchpad experience. No swiping geastures. No smooth scrolling. FN-buttons not working. Or any other million issues. I have never been able to install Linux on a laptop and getting things to work within a weekend. And then reverting becuase I need my computer.

Yeah and its $40 per year it seems. While its good that you can continue using your version after that it does seem just a little much. I'm not sure I even want to try it now because I don't want to like it and then decide I can't afford it. I'm not against yearly license cost at all, I think that it can be hard for software companies to make something good without it. But for a new software it seems just a tad high. And I guess it will seem even more depending on where you live.

To be honest I had forgot that it was an option. I zeroed in on the other alternative from the get go since I was the developer of the app and its very limited in its usefulness. Did not want to create work for others when I thought I could easily do the work :)

To be honest, not really. I wanted to first successfully get my app published before even thinking about that. I would need to explain WHAT to improve and HOW to improve it for it to be useful and that I cannot do until I am more familiar with the project. But it is a good point.

In general F-Droid works well for me even if I have only maybe 2-3 apps that I get from there. I think it's good that it exists.

There could be some improvements on the process of adding an app though. I recently made a very small app for myself that I thought "maybe a couple of people would find this useful, I should add it to F-Droid".

I started by reading their docs on how to add a new app. I created an account on gitlab, forked their repo and added my app. Their pipeline failed without telling me why. After reading and re-reading everything a bunch of times I had to give up and look for help. The instructions said to fix all pipeline problems before creating a merge request.

So I go to the contact page where there are a bunch of options. I chose IRC and join. Ask for help. No answer or any message sent in the channel for the next 24 hours. At this point I am getting a bit irritated and are thinking about truly giving up. Then eventually someone answers in the channel and says "create a merge request and someone will help you". Which is what the docs said NOT to do. Fine. Ok. I will create it.

I go to Gitlab and chose the right template for the merge request. And now I get a whole bunch of new instructions and questions that I have to answer that the docs never mentioned. And it even mentions in that template that I should TRY to fix pipeline problems, or someone will help me (still going against official docs on their site). Since there was a bunch of questions I would have to look up to properly answer I did not have the time to do it right away... And I still have not done it. Its on a todo-list.

tl;dr: F-Droid works okey but the whole process of submitting a new app for someone that has not gone through it before could be made way better with some updated and unified instructions.

I have had to do the same to fix Youtube progress reporting, but not much more. That is one of few things the PiHole has ever broken for me (that I know of...). I agree that a problem with PiHole is that if something is not working and I disable uBlock as a debugging step, then I have to also browse and login to 2 different PiHole GUIs and temporarily disable it. Without knowing if PiHole actually blocked anything. It is especially inconvenient when on the phone. I have not looked if it already exist, but I would want a nice little app I can open and just click "disable for X time" which would disable the blocking on all my PiHoles at once. Also syncing all settings from a "master" instance would be great. Maybe the default lists should contain some of the whitelis domains or something aswell.

Still, these problems are so small compared to the value I get out of my PiHoles. Blocking ads for years on end while having troubles maybe 3-4 times in total. All the other time it just works.
