I did check web and it's fine!

One restart left logs saying plugins had been updated and the app needed to restart while my app on my phone just hung on the logo screen, so I restarted again. Now it's saying Startup Completed but I'm still getting that screen. But https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jellyfin.mobile still seems to be 10.10, so maybe it's just Google being slow? I'm gonna try and go to sleep.

Had to manually restart the service, which seems weird?

Still was defined to use the focal target for Jellyfin packages, now Jammy. Packages upgraded, database migration ongoing...

following packages have unmet dependencies:                jellyfin-server : Depends: libicu66 but it is not installableE: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Hmmm.

This Boo Radleys track is apparently unavailable in the U.S.?

For council for wards other than Papastew I haven't done any research at all myself, but very-locally-engaged acquaintance Chris Chan at least linked to Troy Pavlek's post on Facebook but also said

(For Ipiihkoohkanipiaohtsi, I would choose Funke Olokude over Jon Morgan)

None of the above managed to work. Uninstalling and reinstalling also didn't. Neither, seemingly, did setting the Deck to use the fallback video modes for the 1080p display it was hooked up to through my Steam Deck Dock. But simply launching the game without it being plugged into the dock worked! And then plugging the dock in afterwards, though it was then displaying at I believe 1280x800 rather than 1920x1080 (and so not just low res but also not filling up the screen) did work.

Those Easy Anti-Cheat steps, lightly edited to be a bit more readable:

1. Go into desktop mode
2. Download anti-cheat toggler
3. drop the exe into the Elden Ring .exe folder
4. right click on the anti cheat toggler exe and add to steam
5. go into steam and click properties and change the forced compatibility to proton experimental
6. go back into game mode and launch the anti cheat toggler exe and click the prompt when lauched
7. open elden ring with internet connection off. start the game up and then go to in game setting and exit to desktop
8. go back to the anti cheat toggler exe and open it and click the option that says re enabling anti cheat
9. launch elden ring and everything should be working perfectly

Some random person commented that after getting the DLC they had to follow a bunch of silly steps to fiddle with Easy Anti-Cheat, and it seems to stall for a long time at the EAC screen most times, so maybe that's it?

Gonna do it in rDOTBEATTIMEWEBAPP, aiming probably just to be very basic javascript at least at first.

Obviously, "Songs you hate but sing anyway" will be the week I start the worst Arctic Monkeys album.

I should do this sometime, but so far everything's fine for me in Google-land sans RCS since I chat over SMS with so few people.

Much like true blacks over in T311, this was a matter for config.txt, namely commenting out dtparam=audio=on, so it now in total looks like:

Well, I'll deal with this later, it's #Freezerburn time ;)

Wait, did I already run into this and find a workaround in T137: Pi 3b HDMI out doesn't do pure black, goes grey instead? Yes, I did! Phew!

Success, perhaps! New modem took a few tries to find non-packetlossy frequencies but now seems fine?

Got a new modem, the CBN CD8000. Now following https://help.teksavvy.com/teksavvy-faq/post/update-your-hardware-with-mysavvy-zcEJYLC0x7hpQvB

I should really get this done ASAP because Freezerburn is coming up sooooon!

mpv seems nicest to actually control in some ways:

Okay so this is driving me insane.

Judging by https://forum.f-droid.org/t/rcs-supported-message-sms-mms-app/13423 and otherwise ironically Googlin' around it really doesn't seem like there's any options for RCS chats that aren't in fact less trustworthy than Google. So the choices are actually either to fool Google or to give up on RCS I guess?
