Alternative to NewPipe SponsorBlock
I love the app, but as of late it’s crashing and getting network errors All. The. Time. I’m kinda done bearing through it waiting for it to be fixed. The official app has the same issues....
Self hosted instances
I am considering creating my own lemmy instance as my current instance (lemmy.world) is often down, and I enjoy this kind of a project. That being said I haven’t been able to find any resources on hw needed for this? If I have a raspberry pi 4b 8g with 128gb is that enough for just me using it? Do I need to pay for a cloud...
Actions to avoid irreversible consequences?

They Cloned Tyrone is amazing
The trailer sold me so much I went to purchase a Netflix sub which is something I don’t do because I think Netflix sucks, but I wanted to support what I believed was to be great. And it really is great. I wish Netflix enabled purchase per-item so I could just buy what I want to clearly signal to them what to invest into....
Playing pirated video games on Linux
Anybody know how to play pirated Windows games on Linux? I recently installed Lubuntu (22.04.2 Jammy Jellyfish) on my ancient laptop and all the guides I can find and trying out Lutris only seem to apply to “legit” copies bought from the official sources....

What can cause an automatic car to suddenly shake and stop?
It happened to my car last week, it got towed to a mechanic and I’m yet to hear back. I don’t know a lot about cars, so I’m hoping I’ll learn something here and be able to tell if the mechanic tries to rip me off....

The Contract Conundrum
I apologize if this is too long for this community or if there isn’t enough maliciousness to it. This is a true story that happened to me and I have never really talked about it in detail since it happened. Feel free to skip to the TL;DR at the end....

Anyone have experience with buying on eBay?
I bought a “Buy It Now” item, payment went through. Two days later, I got an email saying I got a refund. I looked at the order and I looks like I indeed got a full refund. There are no notes or messages from the seller, so I’m not really sure what happened. Should I message the seller? Report that I haven’t received the...
How would I start as a database consultant for a niche software?
So long story short I’ve worked with proprietary software X for a long time, and specifically I do a lot of work investigating the SQL database for software X. Writing custom reports, making queries to find problems, the like....

What if urine was reprocessed by large intestines?
I have wondered many times how a human would fare if the kidneys dumped urine into the start of the large intestines somewhere about the appendix instead of into a bladder to be sprayed out. I’m assuming water would be reabsorbed and slower to process out, primarily through sweat and evaporation from the lungs, and maybe...
Community for helping people identify music?
I’ve been trying to find the name of a song from The Grand Tour on Amazon, but there’s only a few seconds of music and none of the Shazam-like applications can identify it. Is there a Lemmy community for helping people identify music? If anyone is curious about the song, I’m linking it below:...
Can acidic and carbonated drinks corrode aluminium bottles?
I like to put lemon or vitamins (those tablets that also create fizzyness) in my water and have been wondering if it is problematic to do so in my aluminium drinking bottle. I wouldn’t normally think so, since soft drinks also often come in aluminium cans, but I’m not sure. Are aluminium salts even unhealthy?
