So, as mentioned in the post, I, an admin of lemmings.world, have reviewed the claims to the best of my abilities over the last few days and everything seems legit.

Note that you should still be cautious when sharing information like that and especially if you share information about your darknet activities, always use Tor or something that anonymizes you the same or better.

I think I’ve explained quite well already, but again, many vendors, like Samsung, kill any background jobs before they have a chance to run. No matter what technology you use, it will get killed. The only thing that doesn’t get killed is an exact alarm that’s allowed to wake your phone from sleep. Everything else will get killed on Samsung. Including periodic alarms and including work manager, periodic or not.

I have no idea what the rest of your message is even talking about, I don’t have any WallpaperService, I don’t do any of what you mention, so I don’t quite understand why are you even talking about it.

In conclusion, further discussion on this topic is unnecessary because you seem to be rambling on and on about stuff that’s not at all related to why the battery optimization exception is needed. It’s not because of stock Android, but because of other vendor’s flavors of Android.

There’s a history screen, you can click the Open in HordeNG button which should fill all the parameters in a separate app where you can generate them again.

Edit: I’ll be providing the option to save all generated wallpapers in a folder of your choosing in a future update.

You don’t seem to understand that the job will be killed before it’s even triggered. Like the scheduled job will not run at all.

I schedule the job using an inexact alarm which then triggers the work manager job. Anyway, Samsung kills pretty much anything in the background unless you go out of your way to prevent it. I have no recent experience with other vendors. It would kill yours, too, no matter what code you use to write it.

The wallpapers are changed automatically in the background. And many phone vendors will kill the background job, even if it doesn’t consume almost any resources. If you don’t disable battery optimizations, don’t be surprised that the app doesn’t work.

Edit: To cite https://dontkillmyapp.com/problem:

(…) This even gets so absurd that with some vendors (e.g. Nokia, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Samsung or Huawei) our smartphones are becoming dumbphones again.

Dumbphones are unable to do any useful tasks for you in the background unless you actively use your device at the time. This affects most of the apps that are not just another browser window. Most affected are alarm clocks, health trackers, automation apps, or simply anything that needs to do some job for you at a particular moment when you aren’t using your device.

Emphasis is mine. I can confirm that it indeed gets killed on my Samsung if I don’t disable battery optimizations. At the same time my phone reports 0% battery used since last charge even with battery optimizations disabled. Meaning I don’t abuse the privilege, but just do what the app should do on its own if some vendors weren’t way too eager.

The end-result is more or less the same, once the information that you’re doing it is out, you’re out of luck. And if you become successful, people will definitely know. And if you’re doing something, you probably want to be successful. That’s why there’s not much in terms of alternate NSFW app stores.

I personally use Obtainium to download apks from source (including mine own app from this post), that’s the next best thing to an uncensored app store.

Well, I’m contributing already, that’s in fact how the Premium subscription works - it uses my api key, which has around ~2 million kudos, around 1 million of which is from my workers. I’m also contributing by building https://horde-ng.org.

Supporting another backend in the AI Wallpaper Changer will be a tough one, but I’ll tackle it when I have some spare time.

I’m kind of surprised that there isn’t some alternate app repo

Well, usually when people make NSFW stuff, it’s because they want to get paid for it. And card companies don’t want you to pay for NSFW stuff. So the options are very, very limited. There’s nothing as universal and fast as a card payment, so you either implement a ton of local versions of some kind of instant payments, or you’re fucked.

Nope, but not a bad idea. Though I’d have to write an adapter for the api. Is there an OpenAPI specification anywhere?

I use Proton Mail for my primary domain and then addy.io for redirects to it. It costs $10 a year or something like that and it’s all I actually need.

Replying to emails is as easy as just hitting reply, the only thing that’s slightly harder is sending entirely new email (as in not replying) but even that can either be remembered, or the special email address copied from the addy.io app.

Entertainment, on the other hand, isn’t really required at all.

That’s false and also has been a known fact for centuries, if not millennia. People need food, shelter and entertainment, in that order.

Your idea of what constitutes a nash equilibrium is wrong. I buy games because I have them all together, ready to download at a moment’s notice. I have the money to buy them and find it more comfortable, thus I don’t pirate any games.

At the same time I pirate movies because streaming companies constantly change their offer so I can’t ever be sure I’ll find any movie there - downloading them and using Plex is simply more comfortable.

Morals play no role in me pirating or buying content, it’s simple convenience. Turns out Gabe Newell was right - piracy is a service issue.

Avahi basically broadcasts to the whole network “hello there, my name is some-cool-domain.local”. When you request that address, your router checks if someone broadcasts that name and uses their IP if so.

Yes, indeed, it’s your local timezone.

store all of the documents, desktop, downloads, etc. on a couple computers

Why use SSHFS for that? I recommend using Syncthing, it’s great for synchronizing stuff across multiple PCs (local and remote).

1. It’s pretty much needed only for online stuff, so single-player only is no problem. Also cloud saves.
2. Yes, multiple local accounts are possible.
3. Probably, since I no longer pay for online services, so nothing much will change for me.

You need to host your domain somewhere, meaning some DNS provider needs to be the authority on what gets routed where when someone accesses your domain.

The provider will give you a list of nameservers when you make the domain part of their DNS.

I don’t know if there are any that are free (if you don’t also buy a domain from them), so you’ll have to check on your own. You can also self-host a bind9 server and do your DNS there.

Because without the proper DRM implementation it’s trivial to rip it. So they’re only letting you rip the low quality version. Which feels really stupid, because people who know how to rip the 4K content exist and are happy to share the results.

Off topic, but is there any tutorial on how to do this Usenet thing? Feel free to contact me on Matrix, it’s on my profile.
