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.

Well I have installed latest APK from their site. Browsed for and installed apps without a problem. On my Pixel 9 Pro. So at least its not a bug affecting everyone.

Do you mean https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/ or something else? That seems to be a crowdsources list of configurations for different apps.

What is broken in F-Droid? I just got Android 15 and are using F-Droid but have not noticed anything broken yet.

There is also projects you can run in your local network that skips the segments when playing youtube videos on chromecast. Using the same crowdsourced data from SponsorBlock. The one I use: https://github.com/gabe565/CastSponsorSkip

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.
