  • FYI the codename for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 5G is “gold”. You’ll usually see stuff for your phone labeled with that codename since it’s much shorter and easier to check than the whole name where you have to check pro vs non-pro, 5G version, etc as other variants will have completely different codenames.

    If roms don’t have official support, then basically your other main option is to look for unofficial builds made by random people on XDA. I’ve used unofficial builds for many years in the past and they’re generally fine, but it’s up to you.

    I don’t see any rom threads in the XDA forum for gold, so unfortunately I can’t really help any more. Good luck!

    (Skimming around the XDA threads, it appears that the lack of roms is due to mediatek not releasing necessary source code, so if you want custom roms, it’ll be a lot easier to find them for a different phone)








  • Imo it’s not enough of gap to be a big deal, there are much worse age gaps, especially when you’re talking about only people above 21. I’ve often dated older and when I was in my early 20s I would go on the occasional date with someone around 30 and the biggest reaction I got from friends or people around me was light teasing, but most didn’t really care. Now that I’m 30 I don’t feel that uncomfortable dating down to around 25, but I also look young and don’t feel like I’ve matured that much since my 20s.

    I don’t think most people would care at the end of the day, I feel like it only becomes weird when you’re like in your 40s dating down to 20 something.







  • Is there any way to connect the bsky android app to the atproto.africa relay or a third party appview that uses the atproto.africa relay? I wouldn’t mind using bsky more if there was a clone of the android app that doesn’t use the bsky relay/appview. Looking at whtwnd it appears to be just web and not native apps?

    I would like to host my own PDS and access bsky through a native app using third party relay+appview, but I haven’t seen a way to do this yet.




  • Yes this and also scrubs and smart tests. I have 6 14TB spinning drives and a long smart test takes roughly a week, so running 2 at a time takes close to a month to do all 6 and then it all starts over again, so for half to 75% of the time, 2 of my drives are doing smart tests. Then there’s scrubs which I do monthly. I would consider larger drives if it didn’t mean that my smart/scrub schedule would take more than a month. Rebuilds aren’t too bad, and I have double redundancy for extra peace of mind but I also wouldn’t want that taking much longer either
