I had the exact same problem and the solution was to ask my ISP who then either just gave me a public IP (Vodafone) or asked for money so my network could be reached from the outside (Primerocom). So check whether there is an option with you ISP to get a "public" IP.

Manalith , to linux in Noob Question Thread: Ask Any Questions About Linux!

I’ve got one progam that I need for work that I cannot get to run on Linux. I’ve tried WINE on both Ubuntu and Zorin (and winlator for android). I have the installer exe file and try to launch with WINE but then nothing happens. Is that a program problem, WINE limitation, or something else? Is there a different program I should try to launch it?

The_sleepy_woke_dialectic ,

It could be that only the installer has issues. If you’re dual booting have you tried launching the already installed program from your windows partition?

Otherwise I would try launching the installer from the wine command line to see if it gives you a specific error there.

kyoji ,

How are you launching the exe with WINE? Try doing it via the command line if you aren’t already. That way you may get some more information about why it isn’t working. Its as simple as wine path/to/your/exe

You could also try something like Bottles, which will let you use possibly newer versions of WINE without modifying your system’s WINE.

Cethin ,

Using a different version of WINE/Proton could work. It may also depend on some extra utilities you need to install on your WINE prefix (Wine tricks is the tool to use for this). If that doesn’t work, the almost guaranteed to work option is a virtual machine running Windows. This comes with a small performance hit, but that may not be a concern.

vga , to asklemmy in Is federation that good?

I thought the level of discourse has increased sharply since lemmy.world got along, and the effect of lemmy.ml’s somewhat extremist stance has lessened. It’s now possible to mostly actually talk here without blocking half of the whole network.

So I would be perfectly ok with dropping lemmy.ml from the rest of the network. But I’m guessing that goes somewhat against the overall philosophy of the whole thing? I don’t suppose the idea of federation was to create even stronger bubbles.

You’re never going to get rid of Communists on Lemmy, FOSS in general attracts Communists, combined with stable and growing Communist instances. If Lemmy.world wants to go its own way it can, but there’s already a right-wing Lemmy, that’s Reddit.

Lemmy.world probably wouldn’t last in the long run as it appeals exclusively to the median Reddit demographic too ideological to stay on Reddit, yet ill-informed on the mechanics of what made Reddit bad.

They never said anything about getting rid of communists, they said it’s no longer a communist echo chamber.

I read their comment too, no need to worry. Anticommunist instances like Lemmy.world and, relevantly Lemmy.ca, still can’t get rid of Communists even by defederating from Communist instances.

My point is more that Lemmy itself is structured along Communist principles, while Reddit remains the right-wing Lemmy. Choosing Lemmy over Reddit is ideological in nature, which means there is going to be a steady influx of Communists and other Leftists, less so Liberals.

Assuming that whole instances are anti-anything is a great way to judge a whole swath of people quickly and look childish, it’s less useful to do anything else.

No, Lemmy is just decentralized in nature, while that’s attractive to fringe left groups like hardcore communists, it’s also attractive to anarchists and fringe right groups like hardcore libertarians.

You only need to look at Lemmy.ca’s Hexbear refederation poll and compare it to Hexbear’s Lemmy.ca refederation poll. Lemmy.ca was overwhelmingly anti-Hexbear, while Hexbear was more reasonable and generally okay with refederating as long as Lemmy.ca understood that Hexbear hates landlords and whatnot. There are individuals on Lemmy.ca that are not necessarily anticommunist, but in aggregate Lemmy.ca is absolutely anticommunist, and the same applies to Lemmy.world.

Top comment from Hexbear:

as long as .ca understands nothing will fundamentally change from the hexbear population. I don’t think we should ever re-fed in bad faith or because it would be funny. If we know it won’t work, then we shouldn’t do it. But my hope here is that .ca has shed some of its former redditiness and is more willing to talk to non-liberals.

Top comment from Lemmy.ca:

its literally a troll instance. most instances defederated from them for a reason

As for your second paragraph:

No, Lemmy is just decentralized in nature, while that’s attractive to fringe left groups like hardcore communists, it’s also attractive to anarchists and fringe right groups like hardcore libertarians.

I restate, Lemmy is built on Communist principles. FOSS is anticapitalist in nature, hardcore libertarians prefer Reddit. Anarchists are also Leftists.

masterspace ,

Hexbear wasn’t defederated from for its too comments. It was defederated from for its bottom ones, in which people repeatedly call people Nazis and the KKK.

Given that the largest and most successful open source projects are all openly supported by capitalist companies, that is evidently not true. There is nothing inherently anti-capitalist about FOSS. Capitalism is a poor choice of resource distribution system for information because unlike material things, information can be copied and replicated freely, so there is no need for scarcity. FOSS exposes that,l flaw with capitalism but it is no inherently communist.

So you say, yet you’re admitting that the most fringe of Hexbear is the issue in your opinion, not the entire instance, so then why defederate? Why not federate and block bad-faith users? Because Lemmy.ca itself is anticommunist and anti-anarchist, as I said.

The fact that Capitalism exists and makes use of readily available tools does not mean actively choosing to support and develop FOSS, not just standard Open Source software, is compatible with right wing views. FOSS is actively sought out by Leftists out of a desire to reject Capitalism, again, Reddit exists for right-wingers.

Capitalism is an awful choice of resource distribution in general, not just information.

The argument being that Hexbear has a larger than average number of shit posters, meaning that the benefit gained from seeing their communities is not offset by the increased cost to all the lemmy.ca moderators who have to clean up after those users.

But they do. Most successful FOSS projects are actively supported by capitalist companies, from Linux, to git, to web standards, etc.

Capitalism is an awful choice of resource distribution in general, not just information.

It is fundamentally ill suited to information in a way that it is not with material goods though. With material goods, it can function in theory, though always tends towards corruption and fucking the poor and working class in practice. With information, it is simply a cruel system design from a theoretical basis that imposes scarcity where there is no need for it.

That doesn’t bear out when compared to Hexbear’s thread, which was more level headed on average. The issue is in political disagreement, which Hexbear was willing to open, while Lemmy.ca was not.

But they do. Most successful FOSS projects are actively supported by capitalist companies, from Linux, to git, to web standards, etc.

I restate, again, Capitalists making use of FOSS tools does not mean it is Capitalist, or compatible ideologically. Capitalists will use what’s available, users will use what works and aligns ideologically.

Capitalism does not function even in theory for Material Goods. If it functions in theory but not in practice then the theory is wrong. That’s why Communists put a large emphasis on actually touching grass and developing theory through practice.

You seem insistent on it being politically motivated, yet that thread had far more vitrial that would have required mod cleanup than a typical lemmy.ca thread.

Just go through and count the usage of kkkanadians.

Were those on Lemmy.ca, or Hexbear? If Hexbear users want to call out Canada for being a right-wing country on Hexbear, many of whom are Canadian themselves, why does that mean it would spread to Lemmy.ca?

Then FOSS isn’t inherently ideologically anything.

Of course FOSS ideologically supports anticapitalist, pro-common ownership ideologies, this can’t be your sticking point.

Lol neither system has ever produced a practical , implemented system that is good for the average worker.

Communists have and continue to do so, Capitalists continue to produce a system that ruthlessly exploits workers for Capitalist riches.

    Tolstoy , to games in What's your favorite controller?
    @Tolstoy@lemmy.world avatar

    I have been playing videogames since 1992. Went through almost every controller design possible. From the modern ones, I never liked the layout from the playstation so sticked to Xbox. At the moment I’m using a GameSir T4 Kaleid and absolutely loving it. Mechanical buttons and hall effect joystick are very nice. Since I’ve had it only for a year I can’t say anything about reliability. Most reliable Xbox controllers in order are Xbox classic controller S, 360, One. After that every single one is bad IMO. Series controller start to drift pretty fast, same as both elites. So at the moment my most favourite is the Xbox One controller 2nd revision (1708) also known as Xbox one S controller but if the GameSir won’t break for the next couple of years it will be the top one for me.

    I hope more first party controllers will get a proper higher tier version with real reliable parts like everything hall effect and mechanical buttons…

    DID YOU ACTIVATE MY GOOGLE ASSISTANT???

    American_Jesus , (edited ) to piracy in Alternative/manual way to fix cloudflare-locked trackers on Prowlarr

    I use a TOR proxy, it requires a little more knowledge.

    Have a docker container running TOR as SOCKS/HTTP proxy.

    
    <span style="color:#323232;">NAME       CPU %     MEM USAGE
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">torproxy   0.07%     46.78MiB
    </span>
    

    Added SOCKS proxy to Prowlarr. Added a tag to this proxy.

    Create/modify indexer with TOR/Onion domain, with proxy tag.

    I have that for 1337x and BTdig.

    Instead of connecting to 1337x.to wich requires CloudFlare, it connects to l337xdarkkaqfwzntnfk5bmoaroivtl6xsbatabvlb52umg6v3ch44yd.onion via TOR proxy.

    Also i can use that TOR proxy for other containers/software.

    HOW TO:

    1. Use a TOR proxy docker container.
    1. Add TOR proxy to Prowlarr (Settings -> Indexers), with a tag (ex: TOR)
    2. Create a new Prowlarr indexer
    • Copy indexer from prowlarr/Definitions to prowlarr/Definitions/Custom (ex: 1337x.yml)
    • Change the indexer URL and ID/Name
    
    <span style="color:#323232;">id: 1337x-TOR
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">name: 1337x-TOR
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">...
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">links:
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">    - http://l337xdarkkaqfwzntnfk5bmoaroivtl6xsbatabvlb52umg6v3ch44yd.onion/
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">...
    </span>
    
    1. Restart Prowlarr
    2. Add indexer (1337x-TOR) with Base URL .onion URL and with tag from TOR proxy (ex: TOR).

    Other onion torrent sites:

    • TorrentGalaxy: http://galaxy3yrfbwlwo72q3v2wlyjinqr2vejgpkxb22ll5pcpuaxlnqjiid.onion/
