tested WiFi Direct against Quick Share and it's faster but I can't use it?!

So yesterday I tested WiFi Direct against Quick Share and to my surprise (kinda) WiFi Direct was much faster than the latter Tried sending a 1.21GB video file from a Galaxy S6 to a galaxy note 9 * **WiFi Direct: 54.71 MB/s** * **Quick Share: ~33 MB/s** OneUI can show network speed in real-time in the notification panel, that's how I captured these numbers and they were very stable and I did it multiple times just to confirm. Unfortunately samsung and all other OEMs have basically killed WiFi Direct, I can only receive files, they removed the option to send files through WiFi Direct on newer versions of android (I think A11 and later) a long time ago that's why I can't do this test in reverse (from N9 to S6) I tried looking up for an app on Google play store, galaxy store, F-Droid that can send files using WiFi Direct but found nothing, that's really puzzling for me, like why?! This standard is very old by now, it's been on our phones for more than a decade and yet no way to fully utilize it?! For the ones who don't know WiFi Direct is a P2P connection.

looking for a stable FOSS YTM app that just works

I have tried * RiMusic * ViMusic * InnerTune * SpMp * ViTune * Gyawun * SimpMusic And in the end I settled on RiMusic which I'm really tired of, so frustrating when an app keep crashing out of nowhere. Have you tried any FOSS YTM app that you can say with confident that it is stable and it just works? Why not just use the official YTM app you may ask? Well so I can easily save and transfer my music listening data # update ------ I gave spotube a try and well I was disappointed then I finally gave spotify a shot and it looks promising

is there a download manager for Linux that just works?

## Something as simple and as convenient to use as [internet download manager](https://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/) If you have ever used IDM before then you know what I mean, I'm yet to find an alternative that's on par with its ease of use and convenience ### Here are my requirements: * I don't have to copy-paste any links or right click on any links (just like IDM) * it works on all sites, well except for mega.nz (just like IDM) * it can scan the website and show me a download button on top of the media if it detects media like a YouTube video or an audio file playing, etc... (just like IDM) * It works perfectly with Firefox (just like IDM) * it doesn't have to keep running in the background, starting a direct download link should initiate it and show me a pop download dialog/window (just like IDM) ### I have tried: * **[Persepolis](https://persepolisdm.github.io/)**: it has failed me miserably, the download fails 99% of the time (like from GitHub) so I ended up disabling the browser extension because it was getting in my way. * **[Motrix](https://motrix.app/)**: I have tried it on Windows with Firefox, but it doesn't auto-detect the downloads and I have to copy and paste the download links and in some cases this is very difficult as many websites don't show the direct download link to the user. * **[Varia](https://github.com/giantpinkrobots/varia)**: tried it quickly yesterday, and it failed to auto capture the download link and Firefox built in download manager started instead. * **[FDM](https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/)**: I have tried to download it off the package manager (a flatpak from Linux mint software manager) but it failed to install for some reason and now the download option doesn't load at all! But I have used FDM on Windows before, and it is not as good as IDM. ### I just downloaded [KGet](https://apps.kde.org/kget/), and it doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for, but we will see. ### Some notes: - [youtube-dl](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl): I never used it before but from what I know about it, I'm pretty sure it doesn't fit my criteria - I'm using [1DM+](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=idm.internet.download.manager.plus) on my android phone, and it is so damn good, it's almost perfect, it is the golden standard for download managers on android, this app is another example of "it just works". * I think I'm losing hope, and I'm going to see if IDM can run perfectly using WINE ------ # final update Tested JDownloader2 with the Download with JDownloader Firefox extension vs FDM and the winner is FDM because it just worked out of the box no configuration was needed beyond just installing the browser extension, and it did a better job at meeting my requirements except for the 3rd one, but thankfully I found [this great extension](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search) so it's alright * ah I almost forgot, yes I tested DownThemAll, and it didn't automatically capture downloads, so this was an instant no

text clarity on windows is so good, can I get the same on linux?

I tried different font settings in the font settings and it didn't improve much (font hinting, anti aliasing, custom DPI settings, different font size) The font is the default one which is Ubuntu Regular with font size set to 10 Sub pixel order is set properly to RGB **Linux Mint xfce** Even when running windows in a virtual machine, the font rendering in it is miles ahead of what I got on my Linux setup!!!

NextDNS vs Control D vs Adguard DNS, which one is the best?

Did you try all of them? What made you stick with the one you are currently using? I became fully aware of Control D only yesterday as the name was vaguely familiar to me when I heard it and for Adguard DNS well I thought it was a normal-ish DNS service like 1 1 1 1, quad9, Google, etc... (not that user configurable). I tried looking for some reviews and discussions comparing the 3 but found almost nothing about Control D and Adguard DNS but I did stumble upon Control D CEO 2 blog posts comparing Adguard DNS and NextDNS to Control D. There seems to be not that much talk about these 2 unlike NextDNS which seems way more popular, if I'm correct then what made it way more popular and known?

Do you guys even know of Adblock Plus?

I literally haven't seen anyone even mention it anywhere on the internet as if it never existed, when it comes to Ad blockers I always see uBO recommended with absolutely no mention whatsoever of ABP why? What makes it better than ABP? What happened to it? or maybe I'm wrong and ABP is not as well known as I think it is. I have been using ABP for many years until someday don't remember when I switched to uBO because I read that it is "the best ad blocker". I maybe need a history lesson as everything on the matter seems so vague to me and the whole situation is super weird
