Wojwo , to selfhosted in FOSS Alternative to Chromecast?

DLNA is going to be your best bet, but it’s such a deep and convoluted rabbit hole. There’s a lot of ways to configure a setup.

Or use Miracast, AKA WiDi, Smart View, SmartShare if you just want to mirror a screen.

Shitter. That’s what I’ll always call it.

Uturds OP ,

It’s true, sources

Even if that were true, that’s what, six out of thousands of mass shooters in the states?

Uturds OP ,
Vilian , to linuxmemes in Have you tried NixOS?

One thing that no-one tested is the overhead of all the sandbox, like, each module, lybrary of program run in a sandbox(some times they tweak the source code not need the sandbox) so I wanted to see the overhead of all of that

ivn ,

It build in a sandbox, but it’s not run in a sandbox.

Vilian ,

I don’t understand, if you run a program inside the sandbox and the program ask for a library, the kernel need to map the library from inside the sandbox to the program, that overhead that I’m talking about

ivn ,

But it’s not run in a sandbox. I’m not sure where you get this from.

Laser ,

This is not how NixOS works. Programs directly link against libraries in the store. There is no sandbox by default when running the binaries.

Several. Of these stories were. Reported. By the media. What even.

windowsphoneguy , to pcgaming in Which game made you realize PC was superior platform to Console (or/and viceversa)?
@windowsphoneguy@feddit.org avatar

Assetto Corsa with Content Manager, Shader Patch and SOL and of course RSS car mods

Dave , to selfhosted in Selfhost and play Spotify playlists
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

I’m not sure I really get what you are looking for when you say “selfhosted”.

Yes there are self-hosted music platforms, but you bring your own music files.

Maybe you are looking for something like Spotube (available on F-Droid) that let’s you download music (I believe it uses Spotify search then downloads the music from YouTube).

Or maybe you just need to find a tool to download music from Spotify (like zotify) then put them into a self hosted music platform like Navidrome or Jellyfin?

Uturds , to asklemmy in Men in their 40s, what’s one piece of advice for men in their 20s?

Do meth

sunbeam60 , to asklemmy in What's an immediate turn off in a person?

Being into “crystals”, auras and shit like that. Like, have you taken leave of your senses?

deadnames?

Like, something with AEX12? Pretty sure it doesn’t mean he has an actual dead child

Using a trans person’s original name when they’ve chosen a new one

Neon ,

Thanks for actually answering and not just downvoting like some toxic fucks in here. It seems that not even Lemmy is immune from social media’s toxicity.

masterofn001 ,

Sometimes people just assume that when someone asks a question that seems obvious to them, the person asking the question HAS to be a troll/bad person.

Also, you’re missing a flag.

watersnipje ,

He has a transgender daughter, whom he still calls by her old, male name. Calling a trans person by their old name that they no longer use, is called deadnaming.

Snowclone ,

Oh boy. No he has a male to female transgender child, who he intentionally calls by their given name at birth, Also he really switched over to being conservative and anti-trans after said child came out to him. Usually parents go the other way, but he went the extreme hate direction and has seemingly said his child is dead to him.

deranger , to patientgamers in I got my first taste of Modern Xbox.

For gamepass imo the best value is from playing smaller titles with limited replayability. I’ve played a ton of games to completion that I wouldn’t have otherwise. Currently I’m playing through Botany Manor, other ones that stand out are Jusant, Scorn, and Art of Rally (gone now unfortunately).

It introduced me to Sea of Stars and I could not stop playing that game until I completed the story. It made me envy every person that backed the Kickstarter and finally got to play it for the first time. I adore Gamepass for gems like that. You and I could probably exchange suggestions for those 4-5 hour, small indie team games. They’re passion projects for people. I find so much soul and love in those small games.

For example, I haven’t yet played Botany Manor, but still have it installed for when it comes to me. My wishlist on there is huge. I’ll spend 15 minutes sometimes going through every game to add things. My wife will play the same couple games for months and really delve into them. I have a constant rotation of 5-10.

SSJMarx , to til in TIL kobolds in Japan are dog-people because of a mistranslation in a copy of AD&D in the 80s

In the old D&D fluff, kobolds are described as having “dog like faces”. They became lizard and then dragon people later, so I guess you could say that both versions of kobold are equally divergent from the original concept.

skullgiver , to asklemmy in Need help picking out a heating solution for the winter.
@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

Lol they really started calling portable ACs “micro heat pumps”. For fuck’s sake, a heat pump is just an AC with a different valve, invented ages ago, running in reverse!

Air based ACs/heat pumps can only work in a limited range. Modern coolant is quite effective at getting higher ranges, but for 0F you may need something like a heat pump dug into the ground to heat effectively. Still, for most days, these “micro heat pumps” should work pretty well.

Like with portable ACs (as they are the same devices), look for models with two hoses. The models with one single hose will pump out cold air, creating negative pressure inside your house that will suck in cold air from outside again. With a two hose solution, the air that gets cooled down/gets the heat sucked out of will be pumped back out immediately. For some cheap units with a single hose you may be able to convert them into a double hose design with 3D printing, duct tape, and messing around, but you should check if that’s possible before purchasing such a unit.

Don’t fall for those Amazon scams that sell amazing coolers/heaters for just a few bucks. They’re usually tiny, and at most produce a warm/cold breeze to keep your hands or face cold/warm. If you’re going with resistive heat (easy, cheap, portable, but half as effective as a heat pump in most scenarios), get one of those big units, not the Amazon shit that’ll burn your house down.

If you haven’t already, invest in keeping the heat inside as well. Door strips and better window glass can save a whole lot more heat than a portable heater will give you if your house isn’t insulated well. Find out where the drafts are and get rid of them (don’t get rid of ventilation all together, though, obviously).

If you need to selectively heat your home, keep an eye on your piping. Turning off the heat in a few rooms may save you money, but if your pipes freeze and your house floods after they burst, you’ll be spending every cent you’ve saved on repairing damages.

As always with electric heat, watch out for overloading your sockets. Resistive heat will easily pull a couple thousand watts out of the wall, and if you’re not using 220V sockets, that may cause the wires inside your wall to heat up (but not in the good way) or even melt. All heaters worth their salt are high-powered electrical devices that should not be plugged into sockets or power strips that aren’t rated for the total load these devices and anything else plugged into the same circuit may induce. The same goes for plugging high wattage devices into smart plugs (which you could use to get something like a thermostat effect going): make sure they’re rated for the wattage you’re subjecting them to. Oh, and please use a grounded socket, preferably one protected by a GFCI.

Read the manual of whatever heater you end up buying. They’re not very interesting, but they usually come with at least one “I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to do that” safety warning that could save your life.
