laresek , to gaming in What’s everyone playing this weekend?

Tears of the Kingdom. I’m going to be here for awhile, but this game has made me want to play some other Switch games in my collection that I’ve been putting off, like Xenoblade Chronicles.

Xenoblade is awesome! It blew my mind that sooo many really outstanding Switch games were in fact done by the same company!

Klinkertinlegs , to linux in What distro(s) do you use?

I use Debian for my docker servers. I try to use it on the desktop. Was using pop-os, games kept crashing, replace with arch? Archinstall wouldn’t work. Back to windows I guess. Maybe I should try Debian on the desktop since it’s the only one I ever get working properly.

singron , to linux in What distro(s) do you use?

Mostly NixOS unstable. I have one machine still on Arch, but i plan to switch that to NixOS too.

whoopingsneeze , to selfhosted in Legal considerations of self-hosting Lemmy instance

If you don't want to moderate, don't let others sign up to your instance. That deals with pretty much all your legal issues.

For US-based people, register for DMCA notifications. This means if someone posts copyright infringing content, you get a message about it instead of your hosting provider, and you get to remove that content instead of your hosting provider removing your account.

Check about GDPR compliance. Part of that is fully deleting user content in a timely fashion when they ask. I've heard that Lemmy might not be good about that, but I'm not sure. If you have any EU users, you'll need to comply.

If you want to run a large instance, you'll need to have a plan regarding CSAM.

If you do moderate, use The Bad Space or shared block lists to defederate from the the most problematic instances. I'm not sure whether they've really made it to this general corner of the fediverse, though.

For anyone who doesn’t know what ‘registering for DMCA notification’ means, you’re after www.copyright.gov/dmca-directory/

That said, there’s no particular requirement that a DMCA notice be sent to you even if you have a registered agent and some reporters will send it to the abuse contact for the IP netblock you’re hosted on regardless of registration, so you may want to make sure you understand what steps your provider may or may not take when they get a DMCA notice before you actually get a notice.

ericjmorey ,

How reliable is The Bad Space? They don’t seem to give reasons or comments on why an instance was added.

Late_Settler , to selfhosted in My current setup of shitbox servers

I’m a big fan of Dokuwiki. I use it to document and plan out my various hobbies and interests. Also listing future large projects and purchases. Installation is very simple.

I’ve also got Wordpress going as a home digital cookbook.

dragonfly4933 , to piracy in What's the replacement for RARBG now?

You can use this: ipfs.io/…/QmbpRxBZ5HDZDVRoeAU8xFYnoP4r5eGCxdkmfFW…

That is a low tech html page that can search the SQLite database someone posted. That page is hosted on IPFS, which you can access through one of the gateways, although I posted a link to the page via one of the gateways.

On that page is a button you can press for more information on how to download it to your local computer to have a speedy local copy.

How I have been using it is: search in the following format: [name] [release year] [quality like 1080p] [encode like x265]

do note that the database is not being updated since RARBG is obviously gone now, but stuff prior and including some of 2023 is all there, most what rarbg released.

It says “410 Gone”

Billy_Gnosis , to piracy in Looking for better Sports streams
@Billy_Gnosis@beehaw.org avatar

When it comes to live sports, I gave up on trying to find online streams a while ago. IPTV is really the best way to go for that.

What service would you recommend?

Eidolon_Alpha ,

iptvwire.com/best-iptv-services/

This site is a decent resource to find and compare providers. I’ve used BunnyStreams and PrivateIPTVAcess with no big complaints, but it’s best to just try out 4-5 over however many months to find one that’s stable in your location. Some offer free trials.

I’d also highly recommend using privacy.com to proxy payments through a customizable digital debit card. I’ve never had an issue with a provider over charging or selling the info I give them, but you never know with ‘illegal’ services like this. It’s just a good safety measure to have imo.

tezoatlipoca , to technology in Slashdot -> Fark -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy
@tezoatlipoca@lemmy.ca avatar

You’re missing the precursors:

Email -> Newsgroups -> CGI forums / IRC -> Slashdot… :)

The new Fediverse really is kicking up IRC and newsgroup vibes for this old timer. Its very exciting.

ASCIIansi ,

If we’re including those then I think we have gone full circle and are back in the safe waters of protocols

eclipxe OP ,

+1 you’re right. Especially IRC…oh how I miss those days.

I miss that moment when I became the cool kid in the channel because I had an IRC bouncer

cullvox , to linux in What distro(s) do you use?

Been using NixOS for a couple months. It’s gotten easier to configure and change because of it, and new computers are super easy to setup because I can just change/apply the config and system wide changes will apply with one command!

kunday , to linux in Which Tiling Window Managers do you like, and why?

XMonad. Been using it for almost a decade, and very powerful. I3 I hear is also good.

vividspecter ,

I prefer the way XMonad handles multimonitor workspaces, but left for Sway due to wayland support.

xangria , to books in Suggestion: book club partnership with other communities
@xangria@lemmy.ml avatar

I adore this!

Meuzzin , to linux in What distro(s) do you use?

Garuuuuuda. Love it. Been running it for the past few years. The devs come off as assholes, but they’re actually just German;)

Devgard , to android in Did Google ever say why it killed the bottom address bar in Chrome? (And what's your fave browser?)

hate the fact that chrome killed the bottom address bar.

i use vivaldi and it covers all the bases (and a lot more, heck it even has its own Mastodon server)

@riot@lemmy.world avatar

At this point, I just can’t do without Stacks, Tile view, Sessions and Work Spaces. The build-in Periodic Reload is also great, but by far, the most incredible feature is that you can customize your right-click menues however you like. I also have a lot of Command Chains set up in the Quick Command bar.

The amount of stuff that you can customize in Vivaldi has been without parallel for me.

Devgard , to android in What phone are you using?
  • S23 Ultra
  • Best is everything, worst is size.
  • Xiaomi and Samsung. I can’t compare since they were at completely different price brackets.
  • Usually every 3 years.
  • Watch, buds.
  • Windows but i miss linux
kamin , to linux in What distro(s) do you use?
@kamin@lemmy.kghorvath.com avatar

Fedora on the desktop. I got my start on Red Hat Linux so I’ve stuck with it since.

For servers I use Debian. Lightweight, widely used, and gets the job done.
