Interesting channel, thanks for sharing!

Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?

On the one hand I like GOG because it has no DRM and has better prices (in my country) than Steam and I have the feeling that on the one hand it follows more the open source philosophy than Steam itself, but Steam has helped enormously to play Windows games on Linux, so I haven’t really made up my mind....

Honestly I don’t get why Rossman cry so much about “he expected that his $2000> LG TV would not track him or at least have the option turned off by default.”

Why shouldn’t they? Why would anyone expect in the first place that by buying a more expensive product they are going to care about your data? Obviously it benefits them to sell everyone’s data, from Rossman’s point of view it sounds like people who buy cheap products deserve to have their data sold because the company is making a loss by selling them the product.

I usually agree with Rossman’s points, but this one in particular sounds ridiculous to me.

My bad, I was answering another user in this thread.

I need help enabling Playwright content fetcher in changedetection.io

I used Docker Compose to install and run changedetection.io and everything’s working nice, but I want to enable Playwright content fetcher so I can specify when I want to be notified, and not just to be notified when there are even changes in the code of the site....

Ups, you’re right although I think I had already uncommented it without success, in a couple of hours I’ll let you know if that solves it.

I tried to uncomment it and now I get this message when I try to start the service:

service “changedetection” refers to undefined volume WEBDRIVER_URL=http: invalid compose project

The joke is about the bin/ directory on Linux, which contains the binaries of the system (also called executables) which can break the system if you delete it, and also refer to the paper bin where all your trash files go and people tend to delete usually.

In my country, 99% of the time you contact technical support, a poorly made bot responds (actually it is a while loop) with ambiguous and pre-written answers, and the only way to talk to a human is directly by going to the place in question, so nothing to worry about that here.

What tips or resources would you recommend to someone who knows about Linux and wants to self-host, but has no experience self-hosting?

I have several years of Linux experience and I know how to fix my own problems, and I have experience self-hosting using Docker and Docker Compose, but I really feel that I don’t know how to self-host and that I just copy and paste commands without understanding it, I would really like to learn how to self-host by myself but I...

Xirup OP ,
@Xirup@yiffit.net avatar

I’ve heard a lot about Proxmox and I always thought it was some kind of VPS, so I can selfhost it for myself?

And another problem that I had with my previous selfhosting attempts is that I didn’t really know how to solve my problems, I could run the script and set up my domain, but when it comes to solving some problem I really couldn’t because or there was little specific documentation of my specific problem.

For example, I remember having selfhosted Nextcloud and when I wanted to enable ffmpeg so that my videos had a miniature I found instructions on how to do it but with different selfhosting methods.

Holy shit, that sound super useful, thank you so much and everyone who has answered.

Can you suggest me some good Linux podcasts?

I’m currently following Linux & Open Source News from The Linux Experiment, and I know others like Destination Linux that I don’t like it at all, can someone suggest me some good podcasts? It fine to me if they just talk technical things or curious things, but I want to learn more things about Linux.

Android custom ROM with rooting support

So I’m interested in buying a Pixel 8 to install GrapheneOS in it but I’m also interested in rooting it and from what I’ve read rooting your device with a privacy focused custom ROM like GrapheneOS beats the purpose of installing it, so I don’t know if it’s actually posible to do it or if it actually has any grace,...

Hey OP, I love you! I never used a Lemmy WebApp because I see no sense in it, but I tried Photon because of some comments in your post and holy fuck I have missed so much! It’s incredible that I can even have two accounts at the same time from different instances without changing the URL!

Hey, I FUCKING love Photon and as soon as I can I’m going to donate to the project, but I have three questions: Is there any kind of official community for the project? And, is there a way to search communities and only communities? I mean, I can search for posts and then search for communities where that post may be, but can I search for communities directly, and lastly, how can I join a community within Photon?

Is there an app to open others apps in the background without user interaction?

I have some apps which I need them to synchronize in the background but they don’t, even with battery optimization turned off. I’ve tried using an app called PhoneProfilesPlus but I don’t need whole profiles, I just want an app to be opened and that’s it....

Does ChatGPT can really report you in case you say something like this? Is it just a threat or can it really become more?

For those who have this problem and have installed Heroic as a flatpak, remember to add the path of the storage you are trying to access to the directories allowed by Heroic using tools like Flatseal.

It had happened to me before, it depends from book to book, try another source.

I don’t have special knowledge in this area, but I’m sure that on torrent sites (available on the Megathread) you could find courses, documentation or books on the subject.

Xirup OP ,
@Xirup@yiffit.net avatar

To be honest I don’t know and I didn’t care at the time I used it either because I knew nothing about software or computer security and just listened to what some random youtuber said, but you’re probably right.

Maybe what I will say is not exactly what you are looking for but it can help, try using RethinkDNS, it is an open source app that works as a firewall and can completely remove ads from many apps without doing anything special, you simply need to turn on the app and that’s it.

I would also recommend “Auto mute”, it is another open source app that cannot filter sound by app, but can filter by type of sound, for example, you can disable the audio of specifically game-type apps. For example, I have Auto Mute configured so that it automatically silences all multimedia sound, so, if I watch a YouTube video it starts silently and when I increase the volume I can clearly hear it, but if I close the app and open another video, now the app would be silenced again until I manually turned up the multimedia sound again.

In Lemmy there are mirror communities of subreddits, is there something like that in Mastodon but to follow users on Twitter?

I know that with the recent changes to the Twitter APIs it is extremely possible that if this was possible, it is no longer possible, or unlikely, but still as I recall with the Reddit API changes the third-party apps were going to stop working and although I don’t use Reddit, I have seen that many Reddit apps still update and...
