Have been keeping an eye on fcast.org but haven’t gotten involved yet.

This looks exactly like what I’m looking for!

Oh neat. Hope it works for your needs. Let us know how it goes.

Macast is pretty cool too. Think it uses upnp or something.

will need to check it out. Thank you for the tip

eco_game ,

Yesss fcast looks incredibly promising. Sadly the only app implementing it seems to be GrayJay, I really hope it will catch on more.

warmaster ,

Since no proprietary streaming service will ever implement this, I wish Jellyfin & PeerTube did.

azron ,

I’m also hopeful fcast gets some more love. The ability to mirror my whole android screen to an fcast server would be great they have servers for Mac, Linux, Windows, and Android but not a lot of clients.

Grayjay integration works well I use it instead of casting.

sleepmode , to mildlyinfuriating in I started to get these daily at random hours, even when I'm sleeping. Someone's trying to hack me?

If this isn’t a phishing email itself, your email address was probably harvested from a compromised site you used it to sign up with. There are sites where you can check to see if it’s compromised. This is why I started using email aliases when signing up for any site or service. It shows where it was compromised or you’ll find some companies will share it with partners or sell your info sometimes.

Vorticity ,

When you say email aliases, what do you mean? A lot of services strip plusses from emails now, right?

sleepmode , (edited )

Not sure. But Proton, Apple, passmail SimpleLogin (got names mixed up) and some other providers have a way you can create email aliases on the fly that forward to your real address. I think Microsoft does too but it was limited last time I looked at it.

Vorticity ,

Thank you, I’ll look into options.

NeatNit ,

You can use something like SimpleLogin to create email aliases that can’t be traced back to your real email address.

Edit: other options are available, such as Firefox Relay which does exactly the same thing.

Vorticity ,

Thank you, this is really helpful!

denkrishna ,

I used to use Relay but they had gotten added to a couple of disposable email block lists and because of that started having issues with my accounts…

Idk if SimpleLogin has that same issue or if there’s a way around the problem entirely

BonesOfTheMoon , to asklemmy in What's an immediate turn off in a person?

Being conservative, being rude and impatient, not understanding that people are human and sometimes just make errors.

CreateProblems , to mildlyinteresting in These mouth guards are flavored?

Growing up we were on a swim team and my brother would chew on his goggle straps while waiting for a race. My parents bought us some flavored goggle straps lol. I think they were blueberry flavor…

Goggles aren’t even something designed to go in your mouth like a mouth guard, but I guess they knew kids chewed on them so why not

One thing is for certain though. It’s not normal.

Life is meaningless, there is no purpose, we are all just making it up!

Enjoy it, help other people enjoy it too and live your life!

I liked the part about not focussing on bringing new life but improving the existing ones. We have so many people here and just need to talk.

@riskable@programming.dev avatar

If you install Firefox Focus and make it your default browser on Android the Jerboa client (and others I think) will use it when loading links unless you have a specific app associated with a given URL (e.g. NYT app, NPR app, etc).

If you’re not familiar with Firefox Focus it’s a version of Firefox built for privacy. It basically makes it so that every URL you load behaves like a private browser tab. It also has ad-blocking built in which is sweet (though it doesn’t work on everything/not as good as uBlock Origin).

Oops: Just realized your question is related to Mastodon and not Lemmy. Though I’m certain that Firefox Focus would work the same way for Mastodon clients.

Actually, I just checked Tusky and yes, it does load URLs in Firefox Focus. So my advice is still good 👍

You’re just explaining basic Android functionality using random apps of your choosing.

You’re just explaining basic Android functionality using random apps of your choosing.

You’re not wrong… but is that attitude really necessary? It comes off as, “You’re just explaining basic shit any idiot would know, loser! 😝”

Besides, not all apps that load external URLs are like that: A lot of them will use Android Web View which annoys TF out of me.

tychosmoose , to selfhosted in Server Monitoring software recommendations

LibreNMS hasn’t been mentioned yet, and it’s very good. It does take some setting up, but its use of SNMP for data collection means that it’s easy to collect data from a wide range of network hardware as well. A wide range of alerting is available.

fibojoly , to piracy in How big is YOUR collection?

It’s pretty tiny, but as long as you’re happy that’s the main thing. My colleague at work is a sysadmin by thread so built a server with all the bells and whistles, then put it online and opened it to some friends and family. I forget the size but we’re talking somewhere near 100 Tb easy. I find it a bit excessive, if you ask me :P

superkret , to linux in I Love Linux (because it isn't Windows)

I ran both an immutable distro (which downloads an entirely new image for every update) and Arch (which if you let it sit for a while basically reinstalls everything in an update).

I have no fucking clue what even takes so long during Windows updates. Both the download and the installation are slow as hell.

vk6flab ,
@vk6flab@lemmy.radio avatar

Which immutable distro and what was the user experience like when compared with a traditional one?

superkret ,

Fedora Silverblue, and it was buggy and limiting.

AnomalousBit ,

If I had to guess, it’s because of two things: windows creates a system restore point, which tracks every file the update touches, every time it installs an update (as opposed to something fast like ZFS or btrfs snapshots). Then it also keeps a prior version of anything system related on top of that, these outdated and insecure system libraries live on forever in the WinSxS folder. Imagine keeping an insanely bloated version of every system package installed, forever. I’ve seen WinSxS get to be over 80 gigabytes, of just old crusty shit.

msage ,

As a Gentoo user, I get irrationally angry whenever I see Windows updates around me.

Like when I recompile my entire system, it takes a bit, but the PC is responsive and I get to configure the software before it’s updated.

mox , to linux in I Love Linux (because it isn't Windows)

Want to see a really big difference? Try doing updates (or using Windows at all) with “only” 4GB of RAM and a mechanical hard drive. You can do it in a virtual machine if you don’t have a spare system sitting around. Use Windows 10 or newer for best effect. (Good luck if it needs more than a few weeks of updates; you might be waiting and rebooting for quite a while before it finishes.)

One might argue that this is unrealistic, because modern Windows system requirements state up front that such modest hardware isn’t enough, but that’s not the point.

Do the same thing on any modern Linux distro, and notice the difference. Now consider how much more efficient Linux is at making use of your hardware, no matter how much RAM or how fast the disk.

You could use an RSS reader app and add a .rss to the end of a Mastodon URL. It works for individual accounts, hashtags, and instances.
