I picked up a low pressure sodium lamp and am working on a Halloween demonstration. I’m hoping to make a display that appears one way under normal light, but looks totally different under the monochromatic 589nm sodium vapor light....

The Lemmy web frontend is terrible (on desktop, at least). I have to click on every single image for it to load and it’s just generally ugly. Any good alternative frontends would be greatly appreciated. I checked some of them and they are either not loading or as bad as the original one.

Could we, in theory, use something like CRISPR to give a new baby replacement super-kidneys (or whatever organ it is that makes drinking saltwater be a bad time)? It seems like if we cracked that, we’d be set as a species....

I bought a Steam key for the game Hi-Fi RUSH from Fanatical today after reading numerous reviews and reports from proton.db, only to find that the game just does not launch. I press PLAY in Steam and all it does is change the PLAY button to CANCEL. I have tried forcing numerous different versions of Proton, adding -safe or -dx11...

If lemmy had user-defined filters, I’d use them. Right now I’m downvoting the stuff, but there’s already a community for musk-related stuff: !EnoughMuskSpam

Previously this would be OnePlus, but it looks like their newest phones aren’t rootable. I used to have a Xiaomi phone for this also, are they still good?...

I have some locally stored media i was copying between drives and one mkv file gave this error error reading ‘video1.mkv’: Input/output error and only copied 176/256 MiB; the copied file plays the video only up to a certain point before abruptly closing; I can play the original file fine albeit there is a noticeable hitch at...

Hi all,...

I need to find humble bundle pirated resource (book, assets, software), including now and from the past. Especially books bundle. Do you know where I can find all of them in one package (one link, one torrent, …) without having to find part by part in the bundle ?

There are many closed source applications that have been removed from the Google Play catalog for various reasons....

Hello all,...

I donate to the Mozilla foundation, and I love Firefox a ton. But I can’t seem to like the UI by installing a theme, and when I change it to look better the browser slows to a crawl. Does it really matter all that much if I use Chromium?...

(I know that this is about selfhosting, but I am forced to use cloud services due to it not being viable to selfhost because of DSL internet speeds in my house, and I need this to be accessible outside my home.)...

Before anything else, I would like to say that I admit systemd has brought great change to GNU/Linux. sysvinit wasn’t the best, and custom scripts for every distro is a pain I’d rather not have....

I’ve got searxng running nicely, I can successfully set it as my default search (firefox) via clicking the URL bar and adding it to my search list....

I keep reading about podman, yet it doesm’t FEEL as mature to me as docker for a normal user like me. What’s your opinion? Did you already switch or do you keep waiting for … for what? When will you switch?

Rejoice! The day is finally here. Lemmy shit posting is open to the public once again.

I’d like to change my distribution but when I attempt to create a backup through steam, it just creates an empty folder with the game’s name....

Why are so many mobile browsers at least 100, if not 200 megabytes in size? Even Firefox Focus which is supposed to be small and, you know, focussed is 85MB big....

So, I’m just trying to play good ole SH3 on my PC. I’ve initially installed it manually, which led to a bunch of audio weirdness. So then I found the reddit guide for Steam Deck, so I thought that would be a good point of start. I downloaded the yaml, and ran it through Lutris as instructed. And sure enough it seems to...

I want to make a server for hosting media through Jellyfin, and maybe some Nextcloud functionality. I prefer to use containers, but something like TrueNAS’ extensions/plugins sound good as well. This is my first server, so I don’t know what to choose. My possible options are:...
