Even easier to use, from what I've experienced. Feels like a middle ground between Roku and Plex's interface.

I went through the cabled vs wireless run around with Q-Symphony as well until I just settled on using wireless.

The main, unsolved issue was getting the Samsung remote to also work as the cable box remote. Spent 2 full days working on that, to no avail. This will be the last Samsung TV I ever buy. It's back to projectors or industry display TVs for me.

Cool! Can we see it running?

Would be a shame if that satellite jumped out of a celestial window...

I use a similar catch-all scheme and would love to define the sender and email account separately. So many companies see that my account email is: company@mydomain.com and require support requests to come from that address. So then ive got to then turn that alias into a mailbox - its quite frustrating.

If I can be a beggar and a chooser: The vim keystrokes to go to the top or bottom of the current email list and/or the conversation thread items are sorely missed.

Was looking for exactly this type of email app last week and nothing had the mix of features tecotype has and definitely not as polished. Yes, I know i could cobble all this together but you've basically answered my prayers. Eagerly awaiting the linux release!

Not to pour cold water on the name but there's a fairly well-known 2FA app with the same name. https://github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis

Same and agreed. Absolutely great service for the cost

The Power Broker is very good but his LBJ series is phenomenal. When I recommend it to people I say it's like The Odyssey of American History and Politics. It's the best non-fiction series I've ever read and I almost exclusively read NF.

I think I’ve encountered 1 or 2 apps that didn’t work on Obtanium so YMMV.

You can use it with non-github releases too, but it's super rare when one isn't available. In the case when Obtanium doesn't work, I just use F-Droid.

asdfqwertzxcv — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 16:04:53 +0000

Same for me. I typically search on F-Droid to find the apps and then add the github to Obtanium.

Thanks so much for creating this. Installed last time it was posted and have been loving it. The MCP server and extensions and userscripts are great QOL additions, as well. Always wondered if something was out there like this and you answered my prayers! New name suggestion: MisterHistory

I like turning the rind into pickles. Very good!

For banana skins, you can turn them into a vegan bacon. Many recipes online that are all pretty much the same result. I like them too.

Yes I love those grape drinks! Very similar to thinned out canned fruit cocktail syrup/fruits.

Where are you looking to move to? I agree that it seems like an obvious feature to be missing.

I also love the old switchboards and office furniture. It is indeed a time capsule.

Yes, the comment sections are not something I dip into because it's a minefield. The baby gets thrown out with the toxic bath water in that instance but it's much better for mental health.

I’ve been on the creator side with 1M+ followers and the amount of times someone has dropped a kind note like that can be counted on one hand. It’s such a breath of fresh air compared to the hate, criticizing and general unpleasantness that is so pervasive when dealing with online communities - even my own.

As a result, I make it a point to send notes to anyone if I’ve enjoyed their work, because I know how much its meant to me, that I hope to pass along those kind, appreciate feelings.
