Beyond the lights. Does the for the techies approach work?

I’m about to sound like the ignorant American I am, so I apologize in advance! We’re looking at a trip to Germany, and possibly Prague, and we’ve noticed that a lot of the hotel names are French and a couple hotels that aren’t named in French have replied to comments with things like “Bonjour! etc etc” What’s up...

[SOLVED kinda]...

For example, I set firefox to some custom sink using pavucontrol, but now I want to reset it to default. How can I do this without using pavucontrol, just cli?...

I have started encoding, but have now gotten to making videos where multiple video streams need to be combined from a bluray source, into one video file - Does anyone know any programs for this, or any in depth guides on Remuxing / etc?

A few genuine signals quickly become noise as everyone tries to be heard, demanding more and louder signals to stand out.

I was wondering what exactly should I do there to help with that.

Something like a thermostat or a smart fridge – have you seen any? If so, please share with a video or two.

Hi there. I’ve had 3 terrible days in a row and I’m in desperate need of some good laughs. Which episodes do you recommend? I’m too tired to think straight by now. Bonus points if Neelix is in them. Thanks in advance. :)

I’m thinking about learning to play drums for some time now and I have a question. If I’m a complete beginner should I still get a full drum set? I know you can buy a cheap electric set for like $300 but can I start with something smaller and simpler? Are there some kind of electric pads that would work for taking first...

it’s the most expensive to build/operate and much safer than typically perceived. Accidents are spectacular and rare.

So I swapped over to Pop!_os a couple of weeks ago, having never used Linux in my life. Honestly I blame Lemmy, but I am good with it. It has been a fantastic change....

For example: someone intentionally misspeaks, pretending as if it was an error or Freudian slip, in order to subtley communicate their true intentions

I’m reading the ActivityPub spec here and it seems pretty fit for client-to-server communications. Yeah, it might be somewhat bulkier than your typical rest api, but it’s more universal, which begs the question: why do mastodon and lemmy both decided to implement custom (and incompatible) APIs for their clients to talk to...

TL;DR - What are you running as a means of “antivirus” on Linux servers?...

I like lemmy but I want to be able to interact with pixelfed mastodon etc. what apps have the best ability to do this?

In the context of VPNs for example. Some VPNs store and provide information about what sites you go to third parties. Third parties analyze it and figure out what adds to show you. Hmm… then let them show me those adds they want to show me. I do hate adds as a whole and use an add blocker, thus. But I couldn’t care less what...

Update: I installed CS:GO and it runs insanely smooth. Metro didnt start at all. I now have cycled through many compatibility options and tried proton experimental, latest and now linux runtime. Now it works on solid 60 fps!...

Hey guys,...

And if it is a rat, can we call it franchesco?
