FreshRSS, news and websites fetched your way. You can even create feeds for websites that don't provide one

Check out https://wefwef.app if you want a client that looks like apollo

I quite like using K-9 Mail, it merged with Thunderbird and great things are coming for it, I think it's awesome

Solving the Rubik's cube

You either get into speedcubing and get high end cubes to improve your performance, at least of the official categories and a couple must haves like the Mirror cube.

And / Or

You start collecting cubes and puzzles of all kinds and shapes (yes, even non-cubical :o). You start to acquire custom cubes built by hand by artesians or niche brands.

For the love of what's good in this world, stick to that one budget MJC set of competitive cubes until you are actually 10 or 20 seconds behind the world record

Well you can install it locally and get the web interface via localhost, but if it's a proper server you can access the news from your sources from anywhere and you can also use 3rd party apps in your phone to get a different interface via the API

I recently acquired Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (I only recently got a switch) and the couple of F-Zero tracks there have made me wish for a game of this series to come out. Pleaaase

I completely disagree, the device feels really sturdy, I own both a PSP and a Switch and if you ask me I think the switch is more flimsy. The only thing that ages the PSP imo is the UMD reader and the lack of a second joystick, but I still love the design today

FreshRSS is what I use and I can create my own feeds using X path, it's kinda great but too much to explain. I wrote a blog about it.

Stick to local stuff, no need to open ports at all. I got myself a Raspberry Pi and I just have it next to my router.

Once I felt like using it outside my network, instead of opening ports and doing complicated stuff that didn't work cuz I am behind a Nat, I just used Tailscale instead, it's a private VPN that is free for a limited amount of devices (like 10 or more I think so it's fine for you and family). It's the best easiest thing ever

Well, it is a proprietary format after all

Unless you already have it, to be honest

The Xiaomi Poco F5 Pro, its bootloader can be unlocked and it's fairly powerful. I am sure a good rooting and modding community will come out of it.

However, the unlocking process can take a couple weeks which is not great, also MIUI by default sucks.

The Pixel line is always pretty good for custom roms and stuff

To be fair actually sick effects and attacks would probably take like 30 seconds per turn. Looking at you final fantasy VII

Anything that can be emulated on a PSP is retro to me, because that's where I emulate most things

I don't play long enough to run out of it, maybe 3 or 4 hours? I should do some tests. It's still the original one though

Sadly no, it's from the warp gate effect from Chrono Trigger. Best game of all time

My most used would be

Tusky

Tachiyomi

Activity watch

AntennaPod

Droidify

Signal

Librera Reader

K-9 Mail

KeepassDX

Bromite

Hmm. AntennaPod supports syncing with Next loud via a Gpodder's API, if each kid gets its own next loud account it should work fine

I have never seen anyone caring about usernames in reddit, I expect the same here, I just want a cool short handle, I'll get my cool short handle, not because that's me but because I want a cool, short, handle

I recommend trying the apps, especially wefwef.app
