HubertManne , to piracy in is there is a list like FMHY, but for free stuff only without piracy?

I would love this. Not only would it be great to have a central point but often times their search is bad. Even intentionally so. Like crunchyroll makes it impossible to see whats available to a free account. You end up having to roam around until you get frusted and realize plex, freevee, pluto, tubi, roku, etc has a pretty good selection with less runaround.

That’s intended. They want you to run into paid shows you might be interested in—while tech-savvy folks will realize they have better options, the average free customer will keep running into stuff they would want to watch but can’t because they don’t have a sub, until they cave in. If these services had a easy free-to-watch list, most of those people wouldn’t even spare a glance to the paid servings, as they could just entirely avoid them.

HubertManne ,

oh im aware. expecting me to cave is not a good bet though. there are two options. they can have my eyeballs for the ads which I accept for it being free or their competitor gets it. if they all go away I will visit the library more often. they will never. ever. get a drop from me.

Flocklesscrow , to technology in Smokey's Simple Guide To Search Engine Alternatives

None of the SearxNG links will open.

What’s the learning curve for a browser like SearxNG?

bulwark ,

I’ve self hosted a SearxNG for about a year now. If your familiar with docker it’s pretty easy. I always forget I have it because I pay for Kagi, but I set it up so ollama could use it. It absolutely seems better than going directly to Google or Bing.

Flocklesscrow ,

I’m not familiar, and reading your response made me feel much older than a Class of 2000 millennial.

docker? Kagi? Ollama?

Google and Bing ✓

bulwark ,

Gotcha, paulgo.io/search seems to be working if you want to try a public instance of SearxNG. I’m also a class of 2000 damn dirty millennial.

morphballganon , to nostupidquestions in How do you set up wake up alarm and not miss it ?

I set 3 alarms. If 3 wasn’t enough, I’d set 4.

Etc.

@whotookkarl@lemmy.world avatar

I use an alarm captcha, simple math problems so I can’t accidentally dismiss the alarm instead of snooze. I also keep a similar sleep schedule throughout the week so I’m sometimes already awake a little before the alarm and I have an alarm to remind me when to go to bed.

@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

If you are looking for software you might want to look for websites that list open source projects.

I can’t really think of decent mega lists though. The FMHY one does have a lot of simply free things but it is mixed in with a lot of pirated content.

Redderthanmisty , to asklemmy in Which TV has a (mostly) ad-free OS and works with a few regular apps?

I just got a 4k TCL QLED TV from Costco a couple months ago. Have been quite pleased with the image quality so far, but I keep it disconnected from the internet, and only use it with my nvidia shield running the projectivity launcher as the home screen to switch between smart tube, Plex, and steam link.

Not an ad in sight.

Layer it so that you have 5 alarms 5 minutes apart. You might miss the first or second but generally your ass is up by the 5th

pumpkinseedoil , (edited ) to til in TIL over 500'000 German prisoners of war died in forced labour camps, after the German surrender, while detained in the Soviet Union. With the latest survivors only being released a decade later.

I am just stating what my grandfather told me, and not defending the Nazis in any way!

After ww2 ended, my grandfather jumped down from the train that was supposed to bring him to a gulag (he was a soldier (vehicle driver) in ww2, just like all other German males at that time) with six others and walked 800 000 km home over many nights (at daytime they’d be seen and captured to be brought to a gulag, which basically equalled death), before dawn broke they always went to a farm and asked if they could hide there for the day (the farmers were very friendly despite having been enemies not long ago (enemies in wars usually exist on a political level, but not on a personal one), most didn’t reject them and let them sleep, usually also gave them something to eat and if they were lucky something to take with them for the next night).

He was the only one who arrived back home, all others either were captured or died.

There he went to the American zone since he had heard his chances for survival were best there. They threw him into a pit (went a few meters down, he broke his arm from falling down), gave him some stray, water and bread (apart from the bread basically like many animals are kept). After eight years (including frequent physical and psychological torture (= for example telling him to lay off all clothes and stand at a wall, pointing a gun at him telling him it’s time to die like once per month)) he was so ill that they expected him to die within a few days so they set him free so he could visit his wife and children one last time.

He recovered and lived to become 90 years old.

Just because one side was very bad it doesn’t mean the other sides were angels. I’m not defending the Nazis in any way, but I’m sure there were many cases such as his. And he didn’t do anything special as far as I know, didn’t have a high rank or anything, he just was a normal vehicle driver in his country’s army.

Woodstock , to coffee in How much do y'all spend on coffee a month?

£30-£40 for me. Currently working my way through local roaster recommendations from another thread but it’s taking a while because I order in 1kg packs.

Usually go for two americanos per day with a double shot in each one.

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

I’m familiar with Proxmox, virtualbox, and KVM/KVM manager.

If I want to set up a PC to virtualize multiple operating systems, but with the feel of a multiboot system, what virtualization software would you suggest?

My goal is for the closest I can get to a multiboot system (windows, Debian, fedora) but virtualized so I can make snapshots. It should feel like I’m on baremetal when inside the VM.

Virtualbox is clunky with lots of pesky UI cluttering the screen and Proxmox doesn’t seem great for this use case.

How can she slap?!?!

Oh, that’s how

tankplanker , to coffee in How much do y'all spend on coffee a month?

Most days it’s two 18g of espresso, one 25g made into a pour over. I go through about 2kg a month (about 4.5lbs) with dialling in and some shots for other people.

I spend anywhere from £60 per kilo down to about £30, depending on where and from whom I am buying. My local roasters (Outpost.coffee) tend to be more expensive than some of the other big names in the UK.

Depending on what’s available, I either get a single bag for espresso and a bag for pour over or a bunch of different bags, anything up to 8 typically.
