Diplomjodler3 , (edited ) to selfhosted in FOSS Alternative to Chromecast?

I have a Linux PC with Jellyfin hooked up to the TV but i find it awkward to use with a keyboard and trackpad while lying on the couch. It would be great to have a remote like the Chromecast one but I’m not sure if anything like that is available that would work with JF.

MattMckenzy , to selfhosted in FOSS Alternative to Chromecast?

If you’re up for using Jellyfin and have satellite devices, you can check out something I’m working on to achieve this: github.com/MattMckenzy/Homehook

The main branch was compatible with chromecast devices, but I’ve stopped maintaining it in favor of the v2 branch, where HomeHook communicates directly with satellite devices through HomeCast.

Let me know if you have any questions about it, always glad to help!

Malix , to linuxmemes in Have you tried NixOS?
@Malix@sopuli.xyz avatar

So, I’m an arch-btwistan, what does nixos do for a gamer/youtuber/low-tier-wannabe-musician? Legit asking, because I really don’t know what makes nixos tick, and the (very little) I’ve read doesn’t really explain the benefits of it

thedeadwalking4242 ,

Everything about your OS is defined in a config files and can be rebuilt. You break something you don’t need to do a complete reinstall if you can’t figure it out. Just rebuild the last working configuration. Sharing builds with your friends is easier.

For gaming getting your graphics card going is much simpler. I never had steam and proton games run as well as they do with they nixos defaults

Chef6652 ,

Very well built patches and ways to share them. This is a good thing for gaming as we can try bleeding edge like Arch. But without having to rely on AUR or scripts to copy locally. Thanks to Nix Flakes you simply reference the flake someone shared (after double checking what is in it) and rebuild a NixOS derivation and voila, patch installed. I installed a complete SteamOS in 1 minute with this, reboot and everything works. Even with your locally signed in Steam account 👌

Kolanaki , to nostupidquestions in what is with child names like Aiden, Braiden etc?
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Those are the names given to the children of all the teenagers I knew who got pregnant in my high school, so they always just remind me of teen pregnancy.

I don’t.

BonesOfTheMoon , to asklemmy in TV nerds: what should I watch

Letterkenny! Canadian humour at its absolute finest.

Also What We Do In The Shadows, and Reservation Dogs.

hank_and_deans , to showerthoughts in If malls continue to shut down and decay over the next twenty years, someone should turn them into retirement communities for GenX and Millennials.

As other people have mentioned, this can be a hard problem.

However, malls are typically surrounded by massive amounts of space used for parking. There is a plan for the largest mall in my region to convert all of that land into residential spaces, 2000 apartments. The parking will be moving underground.

Seems like a decent idea to me.

RBWells , to asklemmy in TV nerds: what should I watch

Another vote for Scavenger’s Reign, it was amazing.

I have enjoyed the Wheel of Time episodes on amazon.

Blue Eyed Samurai was beautiful.

The IT Crowd is hilarious.

morphballganon , to nostupidquestions in what is with child names like Aiden, Braiden etc?

Everyone who played Mass Effect is sad about what happened to Kaiden Alenko and wants to bring him back.

ssm , (edited ) to asklemmy in What is a product you would never recommend?
@ssm@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Anything from any company large enough that the obvious business decision is the screw over the end user to generate additional profit. That excludes basically everything, so instead it’s easier to give recommendations for what I would buy/use instead:

  • Open hardware products
    • Framework laptop with RISC-V hardware
      • not released yet
    • Purism
      • Maybe not fully open, but at least they have schematics
    • Pine64
      • Caveat emptor, software controlled charging circuits, be wary of bomb
    • RaptorCS
    • Wikipedia has an okay list
  • Open source software
    • Operating systems
      • *BSD
      • Some Linux distributions
      • Plan9, Haiku, Illumos, etc
    • Web browsers
      • qtwebkit based
        • qutebrowser
      • gtkwebkit based
        • luakit
      • Textmode/Terminal browsers
        • w3m
        • lynx
        • links
      • Other graphical browsers
        • netsurf
        • links graphical mode
        • ladybird
          • Apparently the developer is an asshole
    • Other userspace software
      • Video
        • ffmpeg
      • Graphics

      • IRC
        • Hexchat
          • Feature Complete ( dead :'( )
        • EPIC5
      • This list could go on forever, consult your repository instead of me

Everything sucks, avoid car brands that sell your driving data (AKA buy an old car or figure out how to permanently disconnect your car from the internet), and avoid smart home and llm garbage.

@lvxferre@mander.xyz avatar

When I started getting those I closed my account down, just to be sure. I don’t even remember why I had a MS account.

jaywalker , to asklemmy in What is the best low MB mobile game that you ever played ?

“Slay” is like 25MB and a lot of fun. It’s a turn based strategy game from the 90s that I’ve played off and on for years now
