It’s not very slow to scrape a website. Works quite well.

That’s good to know, I’ll look into that some more. I was thinking that it might be slow if I’m having to scrape each page, every time a user changes categories (or something similar).

The trouble with that is that it breaks easily when they change something on their site.

I completely forgot about that :(

governorkeagan OP ,

You’ve given me a great jumping off point, thank you!

governorkeagan OP ,

Interesting, I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info!

governorkeagan OP ,

I’m referring to the fact that they don’t use or have major rate limits on the APIs that they use for either Reddit or YouTube, respectively.

governorkeagan OP ,

I’ve got a feeling it’s a static site but I’ll confirm to make sure.

I couldn’t even get the installer to work. Tried a couple times but it just wouldn’t install so I gave up on it - still want to try it though

governorkeagan ,

I really wanted to try BlendOS but the installer didn’t work at all for me and a couple others (this was when v4 was released). Haven’t tried again recently though.

governorkeagan OP ,

How does legitimate interest work?

Some vendors are not asking for your consent, but are using your personal data on the basis of their legitimate interest.

governorkeagan OP ,

Thanks for the explanation!

Legitimate interest makes complete sense with something like an online shop, but trying to read a news article/blog post, do I really need to have 100s of vendors claiming “legitimate interest”?

governorkeagan OP ,

I hate having to manually deselect all of the cookies/consent toggles, just to get to the end and they have the “accept all” look like the “confirm choice”.

Developing GUI app on Immutable Distros

So I’m looking at trying am Immutable Linux Desktop (uBlue Aurora probably). One thing I’m not clear on is how to run GUI apps during development. From what I understand I should create a container with distrobox, install my toolchains in it and start developing. I’m used to containers for CLI and server work, but I’m...

governorkeagan ,

I’ve used Bluefin and Aurora for some light web development. I created a container with toolbox (I assume things would be similar with distrobox) and did what I needed. When I needed, I could run npm start and it was as if I had developed locally.

OsmAnd is free with enough contributions to OpenStreetMap.

Personally, I was using MagicEarth for public transport when needed but it’s stopped working for some reasons. Once Organic Maps gets support for public transport (currently it only provides train times for me), I’ll fully move there. It’s great for everything else though!

governorkeagan ,

I tested it with car play the other day. Worked fine, except for a strange issue with orientation after using the UI.

True to some extent. I know there’s been a big effort to get buildings mapped in the US, but it’s not always possible to get house/street numbers from aerial imagery.

Once buildings are mapped you can either add the remainder of the details with on the ground mapping (e.g using an app like StreetComplete) or if the data (e.g from the government) becomes open and available to use.

Or Asia

I was really interested in this when I saw the ad for it, then I saw the price.

governorkeagan ,

Not sure if it’s sold outside of Ireland but “Murphy’s” is really good, and of course, Guinness (if you’re into stouts)

governorkeagan ,

Do you remember the name? I haven’t watched a dinosaur documentary in many years.

Arch Stability

I have always been afraid to install Arch because they tell you it is difficult to install and unstable. I want a simple system following the KISS philosophy and install only what I need, which is little. I don’t need anything from the aur repository, for now. Just a year ago I installed Arch and there it is, no problems and...

governorkeagan ,

Not quite Arch, but I’ve been running EndeavourOS without any issues. It’s been super stable! The only time I’ve had issues is when I’ve messed with the system.

governorkeagan ,

I’m not sure if this is part of the “frequency illusion”, but I’ve noticed a lot more mainstream media talking about Linux as a viable alternative.

governorkeagan ,

I think Lemmy plays a part in it but also all the stuff with MS recently (and people getting tired of it).

I think most Lemmy users use Linux

I was thinking about this earlier today. I’d love to do a Lemmy wide survey to see how true this is or to what extent.

governorkeagan ,

I’ve definitely seen more video content of people trying Linux or moving over completely after that announcement from MS.

governorkeagan , (edited )

r/ireland was great (as well as the regional subreddits from Ireland). There is an Irish community (!ireland)on Lemmy that I try to post to but there’s just not that much engagement at the moment, having said that, it has improved.

EDIT: added the community.

governorkeagan ,

When I moved to Lemmy from Reddit (about a year ago) and wanted to look for the equivalent of r/Ireland here, I was met with about 5 or 6 different communities (spread across various instances). You couldn’t really call any of them active, occasionally someone would post a link to a news article but there was no engagement.

Things have improved since then but I definitely agree with your point.

governorkeagan ,

Hands down the best response!

governorkeagan OP ,

I corrected the post, thanks for calling it out! It’s fine when locked but the issue happens when logged out.

governorkeagan OP ,

Unfortunately, I’m having to use X11 because of work (context). Thanks for the help!

governorkeagan OP ,

I can’t remember where I found it, but here it is. I thought it might be from here (I’ve used these previously) but it is not.

governorkeagan ,

At my last company, we would walk around with our laptops. People would just assume we were looking for a meeting room or had something important to do.

I can’t quite remember what we did at our desks specifically. However, I do remember a guy I worked with used to browse Wikipedia and Tinder.

governorkeagan ,

We used to play UNO. It started with 2-3 people and ended up with being 5-6 people playing and more watching. It was loads of fun

governorkeagan ,

I’ve got Silverblue installed on my laptop, could I then rebase to uBlue and get the benefits of using uBlue over Silverblue?

governorkeagan ,

Popsicle from Pop!_OS is also very good - really simple. I’m not sure if it can create a bootable Windows USB though.

github.com/pop-os/popsicle

Fedora Media Writer is also another good option.

governorkeagan ,

Is this being downvoted because of a YouTube link?

governorkeagan ,

Makes sense. Thanks for explaining

governorkeagan ,

I only found it recently and it’s saved me so much time with being able to take screenshots of whole web page elements.

governorkeagan OP ,

We’ve got a similar long term plan. We will slowly build up the amount of Portuguese content.

governorkeagan OP ,

I wasn’t raised bilingual but consuming Portuguese media helped me learn really quickly (just over a year to be at a comfortable conversational level).

governorkeagan OP ,

I hadn’t thought of it like that, but it makes perfect sense. Thank you.

governorkeagan OP ,

Our little one will be learning Irish as a third language at school.

governorkeagan OP ,

Really thought I was going to be rick-rolled

governorkeagan ,

That’s how I started as well, I’m at 418 aliases now. 99.9% of my online account use an alias with my custom domain.

Gnome extension on KDE?

I know the title sounds a little strange but hear me out. The time tracking software I use for work doesn’t work on Wayland, unless I’m using Gnome as my DE. They have an extension that allows it to work in this case. Personally, I don’t enjoy Gnome on my desktop (I use it on my laptop). Is there a way for me to get the...

governorkeagan OP ,

It takes screenshots that get posted to a user dashboard for management to check if needed.

governorkeagan OP ,

I’m of the same opinion as you. I tried to understand why OP has said opinion (that’s why I posted here and engaged with them). Thank you for positively adding to the conversation.

governorkeagan ,

I don’t think they work at all on comments, although I don’t have hard evidence to confirm this. However, I believe there are “block lists” you can add to your websites robots.txt that work decently.

governorkeagan ,

It may have been deleted since I can’t find it either
