Self-hosted dvr
Are they any self hosted dvr programs? I have a cable set-top box that I would like to record programs while I’m away. Yes I can pay to enable the dvr functionality from my cable provider but I’m cheap and would like my shows available to any computer in the house and not just the one hooked up to set-top device. Do I need...
Amazon should've made Prime Day fall on a date corresponding to an actual three-digit prime number.
Amazon is running a Prime Day sale on July 16 and 17. Setting aside the fact that this is two separate days, neither 716 nor 717 are prime numbers. They should’ve done 7/19 instead.
Are jabronis a necessity for a social media platform to be successful?
I see a lot of jabronis hanging around Lemmy. Sometimes I wish they’d just go away, but I wonder if the ecosystem actually needs them.
Are cars with AWD worth it compared to FWD.
I am potentially looking at buying a new car in next coming months. I’m looking at the Nissan rogue because my current car is Nissan and I’ve been pleased with it for the past 12 years and I would like the extra room an suv has. The only thing I don’t like is that the majority of suvs are AWD. Nissan does make the rogue in...
Linux - Authenticate with Android Phone or TOTP?
Hello. I recently acquired a Surface Go (1st gen, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB EMMC) and installed Fedora Workstation (and Phosh as a second DE). I do not have a keyboard for this device, so usually, I have to use the on-screen keyboard. Entering a sufficiently secure password whenever I wake it from sleep or need elevated permissions/sudo...

How often do you consume the stuff you pirate? How do you avoid "hoarding"?
Asking mostly because I have fuckloads of video courses, plus a number of movies, that I have yet to even check if the content is as good as their titles imply and I really feel like I’m mostly hoarding this stuff because I have no fucking clue.
How large would a city/base on the moon have to be in order to be visible with the unaided human eye from earth?
Let’s say the roofs are all red, how big does it have to be to be visible as a little red dot?
Does one have to be an iconoclast or revolutionary these days to be validly left? I consider myself to be left of center, and very much in favor of progressive policies.
However I find myself being disagreed with quite often, mostly for not advocating or cheering violence, “by any means possible” change, or revolutionary tactics. It would seem that I’m not viewed as authentically holding my view unless I advocate extreme, violent, or radical action to accomplish it....
How do I get over this regret about missing an interesting video opportunity?
I regret something and could use some advice on how to move past it. Recently, I was browsing YouTube and saw a comment from someone asking for help removing a stuck ring because their finger had swelled in the morning. I responded with a possible solution. A few minutes later, I deleted that comment and reposted the same...

How long does your country need to appoint a government after election
Looking at France panicking because 2 weeks after snap election there isn’t a clear majority, nor a coalition ready to propose a prime-minister to the president. What would be the standard time to do these negotiations in a functional democracy where doing coalition is common but doesn’t take years (so US and Belgium do not...
Do people still sculpt? Any sculptors here on Lemmy?
I’m confident the answer to the initial question is “yes”, but in my little corner of the world I’ve never met a sculptor - no students, no teachers, no amateurs or professionals - and I don’t recall hearing about significant sculptures being erected anywhere in the last few decades....
