Bandcamp Fridays began in March of 2020 at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic when the shuttering of venues led to a loss of vital tour revenue for artists. Since then, Bandcamp Fridays—on which we waive our revenue share and pass the funds directly to artists & labels—has resulted in millions of fans paying over $120 million directly to labels and musicians they love. In addition to helping artists pay the rent, or fund album recordings and tours, Bandcamp Fridays have also become a beacon for artists and record labels looking to raise awareness for causes or raise money for charities. This coming Friday, October 3rd from midnight to midnight PST is the next-to-last Bandcamp Friday of 2025. You can help us get the word out with these handy social assets. After that, the final Bandcamp Friday of 2025 will be on December 5th.

This year I wasn't very diligent in remembering Bandcamp Fridays but I was pretty happy to see other people creating the thread about it. Looking forward to see what you are getting today.

selfh.st was a website that was included in my RSS feed for reading news about self hosting and such for a while now. I never felt it was that helpful for me since I usually add the release notes of the services I use individually on my feed. I would often read out of curiosity.

I also felt their feed was always very clunky to be honest, it was never formatted properly but at least there was content there. In the middle of the huge images there was at least a little bit of information to be seen.

9 months ago their feed broke (because they changed their domain or something like that) and since then, I noticed the website is kind of declining? I kind of hate the overuse of enshittification but there are no other words for me to define this. Many red flags were already ignored before by the way, including the usage of AI slop imagery and a change of interface for the worse, to include information about sponsors.

They started sending the feeds with: "This is a feature reserved to premium users" with a link to their website. Felt very icky.

I do NOT expect people that make content to keep doing it without support (we support a few independent news outlets, also donate every now and then to projects we use a lot), however the way they are trying to get said support is very.... weird. Like trying to boost numbers, if that makes sense? If done different I would gladly give them a subscription each month, but this hit me in a weird way.

Anyway, I won't be part of their audience anymore. Are there other websites which focus on self hosting have on your feed?

Should posts like this have [Satire] added to the title? I know sometimes people have a hard time clicking links and only read the title before commenting (example "How to monetize a blog" I posted here previously), but I want to learn what y'all think it is best.

Not only Stremio, I heard there are other apps that do the same thing Stremio does, which is only leech and not seed.

From my research, the suggestions I found were :

  • Disable DHT
  • Use blocklists (I am also looking for suggestions, currently considering using this one)

There were also suggestions to block by PeerID, however Stremio generates a spoofed PeerID.

I also learned that Stremio only works if the tracker allows magnet links, but this doesn't seem something actionable on the peer level.

Is there anything else I am missing?

Firefox does not fully support the editor. Please use a chromimum-based web browser such as Chrome, Brave or Edge.

Taken from introduction

Then I joined their discord to see if people say it is fine playing on Firefox and found the developer saying the following:

I don't understand people who use firefox

I think I will pass this one

Damn, Linus really went out of his way to say:

How about you accept the fact that maybe the problem is you. You think you know better. But the current process works. It has problems, but problems are a fact of life. There is no perfect. However, I will say that the social media brigading just makes me not want to have anything at all to do with your approach. Because if we have issues in the kernel development model, then social media sure as hell isn't the solution. The same way it sure as hell wasn't the solution to politics. Technical patches and discussions matter. Social media brigading - no than\k you.

Her response on Canada being the 51st state was amazing. I think it start around 8:30.

Since we started paying for Proton Pass I noticed that a few websites do not allow you to use the generated e-mail. Two that come to mind are Atlassian and Discogs. Has anyone figured our a way to go around this?

spoilerIt seems the Honey Coupon extension wasn't just making money by tracking purchases from users, but also by taking credit for the sales for PayPal (since they are owned by it) by changing your local cookies. Pretty shady if you ask me.

Anyone else doing it? I am doing the first 3 days today to catch up. Just finished the first one!

Doing it with Rust to get more familiar with it. If anyone wants to talk about specific puzzles, we can do it using spoiler tags!

I love how creative this is. The CSS usage in this is wild!

Someone linked the thread from Phoronix forum and the comments are so awful. Imagine having to deal with people like this.

One of them reads:

We need Microsoft people like we need fleas. Why can't they work for projects we don't like, like GNOME?

It is funny because Ts'o works at Google, lol.

Never did anyone in this steam group go out of their way to harass anyone involved with the company.

Never was it "a bunch of sexist and racist white people being upset about diversity in videogames".

Very bold statements in favour of people that I know myself are extremely "anti diversity / anti woke". Do you even know who the creator of the Steam group is? Guy is known for being the scum of the Brazilian WoW community.

OP, you need to understand that you are leaving your confort zone and things might not work and that's okay. You can have plenty of issues with Windows as well but I think we're just trained to ignore them or assume it not the OS's fault.

I've had this sleep issue once with Arch Limux and I think that's related with a lack of swap memory. Did you configure it?

Regarding issues with programs that you use like Slack etc, If it takes too long, there might have something wrong. I never used Mint so I have no idea on what Pop Store is but I would go away to search for the packages on their official websites.

If you don't have the patience to learn a new OS just don't do it. You're not obligated to do so, you're not inferior because of it and you are free to choose what is better for you. I do feel better using Linux these days because I am honestly very tired on MS making decisions on what's best and I enjoy fixing issues by myself.

I think you wording might offend a lot of people here because Linux and open source is almost a lifestyle for a lot of people, so if you need help staying it might be more productive to calm down and elaborate on your isssues in the future.

This is a very good example of a reply that doesn't help at all. Sorry.

You aren't aware of eveyones contexts so assuming everyone can simply ditch communication apps is very narrow minded. Many people have family members that aren't well versed in tech and in many situations calling isn't an option. My 70 years old mom for example would probably find easier to write me a letter and send it through mail than to learn how to use a new app (she can't call since we live in different countries). Whenever they even change the app layout is a pain.

I deeply hate Whatsapp with all my might but there are sacrifices that need to be done for people you care about.

I worked at Outback Steakhouse (outside the US) and we were never allowed to serve burgers that weren't well done. I've had to explain many times that it is due to the risk of illness from uncooked/processed meat and people still choose to be upset.

I think if you clean your own toilet you'll never pee standing at home. It splashes everywhere, it's so nasty.

As someone born without a penis it was always annoying to share bathrooms with people that pee standing/leave the lid up.

I recommend watching this video.

There's no such thing as unskilled labor. Labor is labor, specially if someone else has to do it even if you don't want to.

You all hate discs until you have a library that you can rent games for free close to you. Or you want to sell a game you already played to buy something else. I don't care of what some boss from GameStop says because at the end of the day, they run a business out of it, but complaining about physical media is something I don't understand someone would do as a consumer. Did we really learn nothing from companies simply shutting down online stores when they want?

[-] Templa@beehaw.org 29 points 2 years ago

Sorry but at first I agree with the point you were trying to make, at the same time you need to be careful when having discussions as this because it might seem you're just straight up attacking people.

I can't put into words how much disgust I feel for Fandom wikis. Apparently there is an alternative front-end for it, but I still need to try it out.
