Seeking Recommendations: Best Flip Phone to Buy?
  • As an owner of a z flip 3, just be aware of short battery life. If u travel a lot or don't expect to charge everyday (sometimes twice as a heavy user) it will annoy you fast.

    Otherwise, samsung offers good value/durability. But if I had to choose right this moment I'd go motorla razr plus

    My z flip 3 is a day one model, it lived up well, no screendamage, few screen protector replacements and it hasn't been babied. I drop.my phone atleast once a week as i'm an iT engineer and use the flashlight a lot.

    I love the fact its small in my pocket, fold in half so I can watch videos without stand or on its side it stays put. And the selfie cam.tripod is neat, and the fact I can direct the flashlight to where I need it is also why I love it.

    Battery should be better, coverscreen is moderatly usefull but wondering if it was bigger if i'd use it more.

    Overal, great phone if u know what u get. Otherwise slab phones are better for most.

  • WinRAR flaw lets hackers run programs when you open RAR archives
  • This!

    I used winrar at first, but never truly trusted 7zip. Didn't like the way it looked. Then first time I learned about ninite, I saw peazip and never looked back.

    With the soon to be supported .rar on windows 11 I might do away with it but I feel peazip works faster.

  • cheap hardware recommendation?
  • I used a fujitsu q9000 mini pc, a superold thing running first gen i3m chip. It was also undervolted but performed fine for 1080p streams. 8 gb ram 2tb

    Recently I upgraded to a Nuc i3-8th gen, 16gb ram and a 4tb drive. It can handle 4k and is much faster at transcoding.

    The NUC doesnt consume much and works pretty well. Its also a more quite and lived in a big ventilated closet.

  • Welcome to !selfhosted@lemmy.world - What do you selfhost?
  • you might want to check honeygain's network calls, because I had it running and then suddenly noticed my IP got banned on quite a few websites.

    Turns out it was my honeygain traffic that caused it, I quickly uninstalled it after that.

  • What password manager do you use ?
  • Raivo looks nice, I've been using authy for a long time. To sync all my authenticators since I used to swap phones often.

    Shame its ios only.

    Bitwarden is the best bang for buck.

  • Handheld consoles required to have replaceable batteries by 2027 - Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck
  • As much as standard AA,AAA batteries are nice and common. The issue is that they are not that energy dense. So for a 5000MaH battery you would need a larger space if it where AA's than if it's a nice and flat LiPo pack.

    Also our modern devices use pretty specialized charging/power needs which require custom batteries.

    Can't fast charge an AA with 120W's of power.

    Though I remeber the days a low battery on my gameboy didn't have to mean finding a cable but just plopping some fresh AA's. Felt like reloading irl.

  • What is the best TV/movie service I can set up for someone who is not tech savvy and wants something that just works?
  • I didn’t know about those, I mainly use nzb360 on android to do the whole requesting and such.

    I got prowlarr, radarr, sonarr, jellyfin, homeassistant, archies steam farm, actual budget and bitwarden all hosted on my server. And organizr to have a nice homepage for it all.
