Oh, this was no attempt to say "Just use proprietary software and block it". I use a (different) FOSS keyboard myself, and as far as I am able to, I try to only use FOSS. I'm all for it.

It was just a question that emerged from the combination of "Android keyboard" + "privacy". Keyboard are potentially very sensitive applications, and I was wondering if there were some mechanisms I did not know about that could breach privacy.

Edit: oh, you’re talking about the high port OP is wondering about. That’s just the source port, which is chosen randomly by the client OS when making a connection. Using port 22 (or any other port below 1025) as a source port would require root privileges on the client and would also conflict with the SSH server that could be running there. Still, it has nothing to do with SSH “moving connections over”

Ah, I see, so the port numbers shown in auth.log are all client side ports. I guess I thought that the listening port would be in the log and assumed that the port listed there would be it, but when I read the lines again, it clearly says "from ip.ad.dr.ess port 12345"

Never heard that song. For me, the most famous number would be 32 16 8.

It happens in my home office, my living room and my actual office. So where I spend 95% of my time with them. So if that were the case, I'd be very disappointed.

As for comfort - I find they are too tight and my head will start hurt (on top) after some time. Loosening them alleviates this somewhat, but they will drag more down on my ears which I find uncomfortable.

Tested with four different machines, one running Linux, two using Windows 10 and one with macOS. Seems to be a codec issue where Linux and Windows defaulted to SBC and macOS to AAC (where it did not occur). Changing to LDAC on Linux helped, although I am certain I had issues with this before with that codec. On Win10 I have no wiggle room as it is my work machine, and I seem to need third party software installed to change.

I recently started organizing my music to use with Jellyfin and/or Navidrome. Since Jellyfin requires a particular folder structure, I used this, and I've also used MusicBrainz Picard to tag all my music so that it works better with Navidrome. I ended up just using Jellyfin as it suited my needs perfectly, and using it with a desktop client on my laptop (Feishin) and mobile client on my phone (Finamp).

The way Jellyfin requires it to be organised is the way I would've done it myself anyway:

Artist 1
|-- Album 1
||----Disc 1
||----Disc 2
|--Album 2
Artist 2
|-- Album 1
etc ...

In my experience, if you try to organize based on genres, you need to have a very defined sense of what genres everything you have is. Either you stick with very broad genres (Rock, Jazz etc.) or you get tons of subgenres that you quickly lose control over if you don't know exactly what is what. Since the clients I use have the possibility to sort by genre, I am planning on giving it an overhaul at some point, but then I will use very broad genres.

I also got 9/20, feeling certain about only a handful, and completely thrown off by others. Since all questions were yes/no, expected score would be 10/20, so my score correctly reflects that I had no real idea what was AI-generated or not. I expect the average score to be close to 10/20, skewed somewhat higher by those who might have a keen eye for some telltale signs of AI-trickery.

I'm awaiting a reply on my request to delete my Ticketmaster account. Seems like I can't expect much...

Yeah, I'm hoping to automate somethings myself - without having done any research on this, I hope the PSD2 regulation in Europe allows me to use the APIs the banks have been forced to make. However, I am actually not sure about eligibility to use these APIs, and I might have to do make do with parsing .csv-files I manually download.

I am anyway giving it some months to see what kind of benefits I might get without putting to much effort into automation, but the thought have crossed my mind that this entire thing will be a "high effort, low reward" kind of deal.

…lock-in tactics should put any person who cares about those things off.

Unfortunately most people don’t care.

And once you are locked-in, the barrier to get yourself out of it is often so high that it dissuades most people from even trying to get out. I moved from macOS to Linux last year, and even though I was only using a small portion of the Apple ecosystem (iCloud was the only thing I believe), it still took a lot of time as they are designed to make it difficult/time consuming to migrate. Not to mention the macOS/iOS only applications you might've ended up using, as cross-platform functionality was not top-of-mind when choosing. In my case, the notes app Bear was such an example.

/boot is 98% filled, so I am guessing it is that one. I've submitted a ticket with Tuxedo, and hopefully they are able to point me in the right direction.

Agreed. I was using Apple products for more than a decade before switching to Linux and Android, and I opted out of several of their products long before I started considering the privacy aspects of things. For example, I found the experience of using something like iPhoto to be very lackluster. I reluctantly ended up using iCloud due to the superior pricing compared to Dropbox, which I used before. That was a particular nightmare when migrating away from the Apple "ecosystem".

I'm sure their products cater to many users preferences, but I'm not one of those, and had a better experience using other products. That should've made me jump ship way earlier than I did, but a combination of cost (by the time I would've changed, I had already purchased a new MacBook which I ended up using for about 6 years) and inertia.
