>ideologically diverse

Smells like centrism

ada , to asklemmy in Why you don't use linux?
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I have a bit of everything at home. A windows PC, a mac laptop, a couple of linux boxes to run media servers etc

knfrmity , to asklemmy in Why you don't use linux?

I do for all my machines except the daily driver and at work.

I want to switch over my main system to Linux but I’m putting it off because I feel like I need a full day or two to just transfer simple things like browser info, save games, find utility apps, etc. Plus a bunch of games that I like playing still don’t work on Linux. I also haven’t looked into how to attempt to play “unlicensed” games on Linux yet.

ksynwa , to piracy in How to pirate Videos from any website?
@ksynwa@lemmy.ml avatar

On Android, it’s a bit complicated but you if you are experienced you can use termux and yt-dlp.

You can use yt-dlp from a desktop too.

For youtube on android you can use newpipe. It allows streaming as well as downloading.

DerPapa69 , to programmerhumor in Typescript is strongly typed
@DerPapa69@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t really get the point of this. Of course the function will accept the value as a string if you specifically tell it to treat it as such (which wouldn’t even be possible without casting it to unknown first)?

Ephera ,

I guess the point is, it’s not strongly typed during runtime. In other strongly typed languages, that cast would fail, since the underlying memory layout of some random class does not fit to that of a string.

But yeah, as soon as you break out as, you’re telling the type system to fuck off. So, while it does look freaky to me, too, it doesn’t dispell that TypeScript is strongly typed…

DerPapa69 ,
@DerPapa69@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah, I do agree that it’s a bit weird with TS. It’s fully understandable though, since it just transpiles to JS, which doesn’t have any type information during runtime. I think as far as webdev goes though, TS makes it at least somewhat bearable.

Sorry for the downvote btw - that wasn’t me!

sub_ubi , to piracy in I'm blown away by my jellyfin, radarr, transmission-openvpn, jackett setup

Plex lifetime server owner here. It’s getting harder and harder to give my elder family members access, since plex is burying my server under a mountain of their own programming.

client-wise, is Jellyfin easy for older folks to set up and access? Like people who only have an iphone, or a smart tv?

My mom and dad who are completely digital illiterate have no problem in access jellyfin in their android smart tv. Is simple as connecting to any service like Netflix or Prime Video (even simpler if you are on the same local network)

regalia , to asklemmy in Should Mastodon users be able to create threads on Lemmy?
@regalia@slrpnk.net avatar

Yes

yogthos , to asklemmy in Should Mastodon users be able to create threads on Lemmy?
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Closer interoperability would likely be a net positive. Since there is an impedance mismatch here, taking the first sentence seems like a reasonable way to address it. As others mentioned, users can intentionally write the first sentence as a title when posting. Since the workaround would be configurable per instance/community I don’t think low quality titles are too much of a concern.

arthur , to asklemmy in Protonvpn sucks for linux but how can we make it better?
@arthur@lemmy.ml avatar

What part of the experience sucks? I think it’s great.

@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

I agree, granted it took some getting used to, but it provides impressive speeds even while blocking security & privacy threats!

LemmyPistolero OP ,

the app constantly says connection errors saying the network is blocking it but it isn’t

shreddy_scientist ,
@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

I’d bet its a kill switch issue, if not it could be related to an antivirus, proxy or firewall setting.

LemmyPistolero OP ,

i’m running stock fedora workstation with no anti virus, proxy or firewall

shreddy_scientist ,
@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t use stock but I also use fedora, I had issues with the kill switch. There’s two different kill switch options, my setup works much better with the simpler of the two. Also, I want to say fedora comes with the firewall enabled, plays into it being well ranked from a privacy standpoint I believe

LemmyPistolero OP ,

I have kill switch disabled that’s the thing

shreddy_scientist ,
@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

Do you use a DNS?

LemmyPistolero OP ,

no i don’t

shreddy_scientist ,
@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

Have you tried reinstalling yet? If you’re in the UK that could explain the issue as ProtonVPN is apparently unlawfully being blocked out that way.

LemmyPistolero OP ,

I’ve tried already, currently in the US

shreddy_scientist ,
@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

What about changing up the protocol and shield options?

LemmyPistolero OP ,

there is no options for these on linux

shreddy_scientist ,
@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

That could be your issue, go to: settings -> connections -> select the VPN your connecting to -> VPN (openvpn) tab -> advanced -> general tab -> check use TCP connection

If the issue continues, definitely check the other advanced settings for sure. If you still have an issue I’d hit up Proton using protonvpn.com/support-form

Edit: Shield options are directly next to the kill switch icon under connect/disconnect as well

Horrible site re-designs and soft-locking out mobile web-browsers with their nag-popups to install their spyware app. No, your site is not “better in the app” >:(

It’s definitely better in third-party reddit apps though.

MerchantsOfMisery , to asklemmy in How often do you visit Lemmy?

Not often enough. I need to remind myself that reddit is a ridiculously ⬜ space that is so far from being genuinely understanding of the shit POCs deal with. I actually feel bad for not going on Lemmy as much-- I just wish the site was more popping.

Evidently not :(

triplenadir , to piracy in How to reverse engineer a torrent from a file?
@triplenadir@lemmygrad.ml avatar

best I can think of is internet search for the exact filename in quotes. AFAIK the hash is based on properties like torrent name which would he hard to guess maybe?

ksynwa , to piracy in How to reverse engineer a torrent from a file?

(Linux distro .mkv)

What?

EDIT: Oh wait I get it now. Sorry about that.
