Plex is pretty awesome, ngl. I always wanted to try jellyfin since paywall and all but since most people wont donate to open source to save their own lives, I really cant blame them.

When I wasnt using a password manager for password creation I just did random sentences that were not allowed to have meaning. They were quite easy to memorize because they were so absurd. Usual password check would be 3 trillion trillion years or something.

That hits home like a cruise missile. Ouch.

Whatever idea you have to phones, you‘re wrong. They can easily make 5 plus years if you treat them right. The more problematic part is daily use and battery degradation/repair.

But google sucks anyway so I‘ll stay with postmarketOS on my oneplus6 and wait for my camera to come to life some day (hopefully).

Damn thats a depressing read. Why isnt this shit illegal?

Capitalism is a tool, used by 2000 people to rule the rest. Hierarchy is the problem. The idea that one person is better than the other.

This idea needs to die already.

But yes, money is a good tool to brainwash people into misunderstanding the worth of their work and their property. This „inflation“ treadmill is insane and makes you run faster in the hamster wheel while the rich dont work at all!

And may the odds be ever in your favor.

Very interesting! Thanks for the heads up. I didnt know that. 7 years ago, they already used wine for that. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44014390/how-to-generate-a-windows-executable-using-pyinstaller-on-linux#45065125

If all else fails you could also use a vm. Thats probably less dangerous than dual booting because of windows not playing nice with grub.

Yes. I just researched and found out minecraft uses its own engine based on lwjgl. It’s a little bit like whatsapp and matrix. While whatsapp uses(d?) xmpp, matrix is the protocol, not the client.

I used modrinth launcher since the whole platform is open source afaik. Big fan.

That said, I stopped playing minecraft since microsoft has perverted everything I liked about it to make it a childrens game with microtransactions. They recently announced ramping up the breakneck speed of updates to make it more like a live service game which may devastate the mod community.

I since made a voxelibre server which works surprisingly well. I also maintain a minecraft inspired texture pack since I dislike visual change.

In any case. Good luck.

I think peertube needs shortd and mobile apps desperately to fill this void.

I completely agree that everyone should use free software. Not for free of course but by donating or straight up paying for it.

That aside, I think your stance is the „vindictive vegan“ approach. While I‘m a newly found fan of veganism, I strongly dislike the „you’re either with us or against us“ approach.

I personally run a matrix server (which is foss, even if it sounds like its second class foss to you) and have it bridged to discord, whatsapp and signal. Why? Because that helps me convert people.

Their reasons for joining matrix:

  • You can use one app (fluffychat in my case) instead of four apps
  • People on the other platforms miss out if the bridge goes down which shows them its matrix first. With mautrix bridges, the bridge very rarely goes down btw
  • their chats will be accessible for them forever if they wish, with backups they can take whenever they like
  • no chance the EU breaks their encryption
  • no chance for discord, meta or anyone else to sell their data (of course not in the bridged room)

I think there are better albeit more manipulative ways to get people to convert instead of punching them on the nose. Certain matrix only rooms do help, provided they have no equivalent on the other side.

Anyway, have a good one.

Strongly agree! I switched as well, so did my wife and its glorious. We‘re both avid gamers and no issues so far. We have strong opinions about intrusive anti cheat software so that helped.

I did make a windows vm for my wife since she needs to work with adobe sometimes and it seems to work perfectly so far.

Feel free to update on your journey.

Hi folks! First of all, huge appreciation for this insane lemmy client. I‘ve been using it for two years roughly and I‘m over the moon about it.

I want this app to be even more wonderful so I wanted to share my idea for a more integrated search:

Currently, when you‘re on a small instance like mine, you dont see every community on every server you are connected to due to the way AP works.

For that reason, I would love to see all communities and be able to subscribe to them by using lemmyverse.net as a search option.

Steps to reproduce

  1. make new instance
  2. add user
  3. connect with voyager
  4. type anything in the search bar
  5. find nothing

Btw I know we already have the „discover“ option but it works different from what I‘m suggesting and is less intuitive and more cluttered than my approach imo.

Suggested behavior

  1. You hit search and get „lemmyverse.net“ as a search option
  2. click it
  3. see all communities with the content you searched for
  4. hit subscribe
  5. get content

I hope this makes sense to you as I think this will boost the discoverability of lemmy by a huge margin! This would also probably be a unique feature, setting voyager even more apart from other clients (and of course be a great role model for them to follow).

Thanks for reading and have a good one.

Today I encountered something new and dystopian:

You can airplay from your iphone to an appletv but now youtube drops and locks the quality at 360p, making the content unwatchable on larger screens.

Once you disable airplay, the quality jumps back to 1080p. If you choose 1080p before and enable airiplay after, it still changes.

This hasnt been an issue for years. this new anti consumer move prompted me to order another raspberry pi to put kodi on.

25

Hi folks,

since the only kodi specific communities are on the two biggest instances, I went ahead and created a new one on my small instance. !addons4kodi@lemmy.giftedmc.com

It has been around for many months and has strong uptime so please consider it here to stay. I will work on the visuals soon.

Feel free to check it out and post in it.

Have a nice day.

I'm experiencing some odd behavior. Lemmy communities on my server seem to have stalled (no new posts and or comments) since 2 days.

I went ahead and upgraded lemmy to 0.19.5 and postgres to the current version but to no avail so far.

.ml got banned by fail2ban but I set it on the ignore list now. any ideas where to start looking for the problems? I checked for the other big communities and they're okay it seems.

I can of course start adding logs in here but I would love to know which service or log I should start with.

Thanks for reading. Have a good one.

Edit: outgoing federation works. this post made it to ml in seconds.

Medieval Dynasty Game Files (lemmy.giftedmc.com)

Hi! I'm knee deep into a Medieval Dynasty Playthrough with a couple of friends and as usual I feel the urge to use spreadsheets with this type of games.

There are a couple of very cool resources out there but some are outdated and I dont want to search forever until I find one that is well maintained.

Does anyone know if the prices of the items are stored somewhere in a readable format? If so, feel free to let me know where. I went through the files on my linux steam install but aside from some texts I havent found anything useful so far.

Thanks for reading. Have a good one.

Non-invasive zaps to the spinal cord can treat paralysis—but no one knows why

Hi there! I‘m actively degooogling and switching from proprietary apps to foss.

Recently put away with google translator and put a libretranslate link on my desktop because I need to translate a word or two per day.

Sadly, it regularly gets real easy things wrong. Am I using it wrong? Is it not ready for daily use?

Thanks for reading and any answers.

Hi folks, I'm trying to put my newly acquired HDDs to good use and at the same time manage the minuscule amount of storage my vps has. Since it is hosting several fedi services, I need some external storage and I figured I'd just tunnel some object storage from home.

So I set up a working wireguard connection from my homenetwork to the vps, connected the object storage (GarageHQ) to one end and probably will connect the fedi services (lemmy, mastodon, matrix, peertube) to the other.

Here comes the issue: do I have to make the respective wireguard instances a proxy for the services to be able to speak with each other or do I even have to make a site to site connection to connect the two docker networks?

The connection would look something like this: GarageHQ---WireguardHS---WireguardVPS---Mastodon|Mastodon---NginxPM---OpenWeb

Anyone got something like this to work so far? Am I overlooking something major?

Thanks for reading, have a good one.

I'm currently running both a home server and a VPS. The former is not reachable through the internet, only through vpn. The latter hosts public services.

The VPS is regularly cutting it very close with storage and today I messed up and crashed the whole stack trying to make an impromptu backup. Lesson learned: we need more storage! I could just rent more storage but just today I updated my home server with 16 TB of raid 1 enterprise HDDs.

So I thought I could maybe do a (wireguard) VPN tunnel directly to some storage service that I host on my homeserver. The upload is not great but realistically I dont need much. The important stuff stays on the VPS. Mainly videos, pictures and other stuff that doesnt get accessed a lot should go there. The rest should be "cached" at the VPS.

I would have to host wireguard on a server port, only have it access one folder which doesnt contain anything important, forward the port on the router and have the vps have the keys. Even if someone gets into the VPS and steals the keys, they only get that one file storage folder.

Has anyone done this? Are there services that do this or do I just host wireguard and thats it?

Thanks for reading. Have a good one! :)

I saw a community from feddit.de on lemmyverse.net which I wanted to explore but I got a server error opening the community. I thought it might be abandoned or deleted but feddit.de seems completely unreachable atm.

I also checked with multiple devices in case I would have been banned for some reason.

Does anyone know why that is the case? Have a good one.

Feel free to lmk if I need to ask this somewhere else.

Google Pixel alternatives? (lemmy.giftedmc.com)

I'm thinking of getting a second phone to ease off iOS. It has been good for productivity stuff but the closed off nature of the device keeps disrupting my plans. Everything is either expensive or ad ridden. (Except floccus, floccus is awesome)

So far I have read about graphene OS and am quite interested. I really despise google though. Any chance to use another device and put some linux flavor on it? I was playing with the idea of a pinephone but it seems to be nowhere near daily drivable, fairphone is starting at 580 €, volla phone (german) 450 €...

Some people said xiaomi should be rootable. But the amount of different phones is huge. The price range is awesome though. I was thinking sub 300 €/$ would be awesome so tinkering doesnt hurt me financially.

Disclaimer: I dont want to go full hermit mode with no sim and a faraday bag. I respect the opinion but thats not what I'm trying to do. I want to write some small apps for my phone and use it as a computer if needed. Calling, matrix and browser should work flawlessly.

Any ideas or suggestions? :)
