Thank you for this. Love the simple design. I hope this DB keeps growing! One note: Sorting on Ram Size column seems to be string sorting (e.g. descending order gives 96, 8,...,7.34,64), when it obviously should be numerical.

Would've loved to have tried it, but sadly am stuck at "connecting to stranger". I guess the problem could be that I'm in Europe, so if all 3-9 strangers (that's the range of people staring during my waiting period)

Not sure it would qualify for 'public API', as you're self-hosting it, but I'd like to nominate ZeroMQ documantation[0]. To the point, with occasional comedic remark, lots of examples. Excellent. [0]: https://

Sorry, not saying that. I do have an option of either A2DP or HSP. I was not familiar with auto switch. But you kind people have filled me in in this thread. A2DP sounds amazing for listening to music, no problems there. The problem is the

Hm, not really sure about `auto_switch`, didn't dig deep enough to find it I guess. PulseAudio only offered HSF/HSP which sounded simply terrible. PipeWire's HSP sounds pretty good (mSBC codec), although it's still obvio

Not the reply you're looking for, but it's a topic I'm interested in. My current situation is that I'm employed in a startup that might be killed by the end of the year, if the next round of investing is found. If there

Hey, nice idea, I downloaded the app yesterday and run into some problems. 1) When leaving the office I have around 3.5 km to walk to my home, so I wanted to log it. The app (Android 10 device) didn't start tracking - I'll give th
