I think you still have to specify the URL up to the greader.php page, maybe in your case it would be

I was going to say Digital Illusions but for Motorhead, the racing game. The OST for that game has been in my music rotation for decades and it’s still in my top 3 of all time.

You have a lot of recommendations already but I’d like to add two of my favorites: Courtney Barnett and Alvvays!

Younger users of Lemmy: Did you ever love a game that you just really sucked at?

So I was watching a few youtubes and remembered how the vast majority (of like the ten) nes games me and my sister had were hard as all hell. I loved to play Little Nemo and Street Fighter 2010 but I am pretty sure I never made it past the third level of either. Let alone infamously hard games like The Lion King....

I don’t qualify as a “younger user of Lemmy” but I love games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. I suck at all of them, except for Killer Instinct but I’m only kinda good with Combo.

Turning it on by default would be a massive disservice to the work that domain registries and registrars have been doing to allow Unicode to be used in domain names. In Spanish speaking countries the ñ character is pretty ubiquitous for example, and the workaround of replacing it with an n creates many problems like misdirected web traffic and typos in email addresses. Unicode in URLs and domain names is a feature, abuse should be attacked by means other than disabling it.

Is VR really so ubiquitous to warrant these concerns? In my opinion most of the warnings about how this technology encourages “escaping reality” apply more to things that have had an established place in society for decades, namely phones, social media and online gaming. I have two kids and a VR headset is the least of my concerns, but they could be sucked in to the non-reality of a personal phone in two seconds if I allow it.

This one is probably very specific but Utada Hikaru has one that I love, where towards the end of certain songs she sings the chrous, and then keeps the same melody going multiple times but with different lyrics. It’s like she extends the feeling and rhythm of the chorus but keeps it interesting by using different lyrics the whole time. Some examples: Goodbye Happiness, Making Love, About Me, LETTERS, Sakura DROPS.

My contribution is a very practical tip for parents: When you need to carry a kid sitting on your shoulders, first pick them up and have them sit with both legs on your right shoulder. Then, with your right hand, grab the kid’s right leg, and with your left hand grab the kid’s left leg and lift it over your head to place it in your left shoulder. Mirror the maneuver if necessary. The result is a quick lift-sit-and-switch technique, and fewers kicks to the head.

Chile here, love Argentinian insult acronyms like LPQTRMP

gnzl ,
@gnzl@nc.gnzl.cl avatar

In Chile, not really an insult but rather a lament over how dumb people are sometimes:

“Si los weones volaran, pasaría nublado” (If dumb people could fly it would always be cloudy)

@gnzl@nc.gnzl.cl avatar

I love this one, reminded me of a similar insult in Chilean Spanish: “Le faltan palos pal puente” (he’s a few sticks short for a bridge)

@gnzl@nc.gnzl.cl avatar

Malvavisco in Spanish as others mentioned, but in Chile we also call some varieties “guagüitas” (little babies) for some reason

We’re like monkeys in a zoo to them

People love seeing monkeys in the zoo, the closer the better! I think if we could travel to other planets to check out other life forms we would do it all the time. I don’t believe aliens have come here, but if they exist and could come see us they would totally do it for the same reasons we would want to go see them. Makes sense to me!

I recommend NSD or Knot for strictly authoritative servers. BIND is great too, but it is built to do both authoritative and caching DNS which makes it a bit too “big” for the task of serving only authoritative DNS data. You can definitely configure BIND to only serve authoritative data though.

I can’t comment on running from a container, I’ve always worked with NSD/Knot/BIND building directly from source.

FreshRSS - self hosted, snappy, plenty of themes, works with multiple mobile clients and has a bunch of powerful features to get RSS-like updates out of any website.

Edit: My bad, we’re talking about open source Android apps

Well, you can fact check later right? If nothing else kids will learn to be bored again, which is good.

Privacy with Google's Gboard (lemm.ee)

The only app I can’t live without. Except for gboard, all of my applications are Foss. There is no competition for gboard’s swipe typing, not to mention its many capabilities like as searching for gifs, stickers, being able to paste copied images, translating, and so on. I’d like to know how I can use gboard while...

I don’t know how much of a difference it makes in terms of Gboard phoning home, but you can disable a bunch of data sharing options in the Privacy section of Gboard’s settings:

I’ve always known Drop for their audio sales and products, I hope they continue to collaborate with audio brands in the future. The Sennheiser/Drop HD58x is one of my favorites, it was hard to beat for the price when I bought them.

Final Fantasy VII and Chrono Cross are my absolute all time favorites. Ori and the Blind Forest is a more recent soundtrack that blew me away. The soundtrack for the Motorhead racing game is also a classic for me.

It can be done directly in FreshRSS and I’ve done it successfully with a few websites, though the process is fairly involved. Here’s a starting point, from the FreshRSS documentation:

freshrss.github.io/…/11_website_scraping.html

This blog post (also linked in the FreshRSS docs above) proved extremely useful as an example on how to get started:

Good luck!

Before you go reading all that, out of curiosity I looked around the RuneScape site and found the News RSS feed here:

secure.runescape.com/m=news/latest_news.rss

That feed contains only titles, thumbnails and a very small preview of each article. However, with FreshRSS you don’t need to do scraping/crawling at all to get full articles from limited RSS feeds like this one. Here’s what you do:

  1. Subscribe to the RSS feed in FreshRSS as you normally would.
  2. Go to Subscription Management and find the settings for the RuneScape feed.
  3. In the Advanced section of the feed settings, find the item called “Article CSS selector on original website”, and write .c-news-article__content in that text box. You can click on the button next to the text box to preview the full article that FreshRSS will retrieve.
  4. Click Submit to save the changes, and then go to the bottom of the feed settings and click Reload articles so that FreshRSS populates the feed with a few full articles.

That should do it. The CSS selector essentially tells FreshRSS which section of the full article’s HTML/CSS is the body of the article, which FreshRSS then uses to populate the body of the RSS feed.

@gnzl@nc.gnzl.cl avatar

Using .site-content container clearfix didn’t work because those are actually three separate CSS classes, so you’d have to use only one - for example .site-content. However, it looks like .site-content is too big, as it includes the website’s sidebar as well. You may already know this but in Firefox and Chrome you can right click anywhere on the website and use the Inspect option to look at the source, and clicking on a section of the source highlights the corresponding section of the website and this will help you find exactly the CSS class you’re looking for. I did this on a couple articles from Humble Bundle and found a couple of options:

  • .post: This includes only the content of the post, excluding the title and the image.
  • .site-main: This includes the title, author, image and the content.
<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">

Another useful tool in FreshRSS I forgot to mention is “CSS selector of the elements to remove”. You can use it to remove certain section from the full article, I’d recommend removing .sharedaddy and .entry-footer (the sharing links at the end of the article), and also .entry-header if you use .site-main as the CSS selector for the full article (.entry-header is the title of the article, but FreshRSS already fetches it from the RSS feed so you don’t need it in the body of the article as well). You can remove multiple sections by using a comma-separated list of CSS classes to remove:

.entry-header, .sharedaddy, .entry-footer

No problem! FreshRSS really is amazing so I’m happy to help and spread the love.

I’ve been using FocusReader for a while now to sync with my self hosted RSS provider (FreshRSS), works great and is under active development.
