I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as [email protected] until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in Linux, FOSS, technology, and several other subjects.

You can buy a significantly more powerful and power efficient device for less than $100. It’s not really useful for anything besides nostalgia imo.

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It’s been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let’s say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they’re what’s colloquially referred to...

Adtech feels like a weapon designed to exploit anxiety and dopamine pathways.

It kind of is

There is also a cheaper option with an N100

What's your server wattage?

I’m in the process of wiring a home before moving in and getting excited about running 10g from my server to the computer. Then I see 25g gear isn’t that much more expensive so I might was well run at least one fiber line. But what kind of three node ceph monster will it take to make use of any of this bandwidth (plus run...

qaz ,

About 30 watts for a old Lenovo Thinkcentre with a i5-6500T and 8 GB RAM in combination with a DAS and 2x2TB HDD’s. I’m currently waiting for parts for my new server I’m building, a small N100 Mini-ITX board with 4x4TB HDD’s that hopefully has a similar power consumption.

Mobile devices usually run iOS or Android which have their own dedicated boot loader. Embedded devices usually just boot directly into the main storage.

It doesn’t seem to have the webhooks functionality that Portainer has though.

ben, not bin

I’m not sure, it was a bit jarring to me at first, but I didn’t really notice it anymore when I got further into the video.

qaz ,

Even beeping and blurring is punished by the algorithm. A YouTuber called RTGame decided to start censoring swearwords and content by using the word YouTube and their logo. Either YouTube has to start flagging their own name or it won’t detect it. Nothing has been flagged so far.

We did this a while ago in the Netherlands and so far the research results on the effects look promising.

Considering it was only a 60% woman / 40% male distribution, this title is indeed a bit exaggerated.

qaz ,

I ended up going with a Lenovo laptop due to the cost. My next laptop is probably going to be a Framework.

qaz ,

Mine was about €800, it has a pretty fast CPU, enough RAM, and fast integrated graphics. The only downside is that it’s completely unrepairable.

I didn’t know you could install the Nextcloud Client as an Electron app

qaz ,

That’s the one I meant

qaz OP ,

The channel also has another video of AI singing Yandere dev’s code.

Oh no, this is going to have a huge impact on our bottom line and potential hires, better sell that publicly traded stock real fast!

Not really, it just has a large amount of politics / activism. There’s also !nonpolitical_memes if you don’t like that, but it’s kind of dead.

I highly doubt this was done by Google

Linux distro for apple ARM devices with reverse engineered drivers.

Have you ever bough an external hardrive only to take the disk out of it?

Hiya, so am looking to buy more storage and while browsing am seeing some external harddisks, such as Western Digital My Book and Seagate Expansion Desktop for cheaper than the internal harddisks themselves. Have seen this one video from KTZ Systems where he bought up multiple of these external ones just to open them up and use...

qaz ,

Do keep in mind that you need a SAS controller for that, which can cost between $50-200

qaz ,

There are also refurbished drives available on Amazon

qaz ,

I don’t think I particularly agree with this take, but it’s an interesting perspective.

qaz OP ,

There’s a convenient web interface for managing Linux servers called cockpit. I use it myself. You can manage raid devices and add other packages to see historical system stats.

I suggest slowly switching to cross platform apps so you don’t find out an app you’re using daily won’t work after moving to Linux.

I have had lessons for several years and I can barely say my name.

It would also reduce sun burn

Have you tried using the linuxserver.io Docker image? It has the latest drivers for hardware encoding included. I couldn’t get HW encoding with the official image to work but this one worked without any manual setup. You still have to forward devices to the Docker container though.

Weird

I’ve also used this and it solved some performance issues with a game.

Shrimp or questioning?

Rant: vanilla local app search is ridiculously bad

For a search company I can’t believe how terrible the Android app search is. I can’t even search “bank” for my banking apps, and there doesn’t really seem to be any metadata except for the title that goes into the search. Which is absolutely ridiculous given how many companies name their apps something cReAtIvE like...

qaz ,

Kvaesitso search is pretty bad. It’s unable to find the F-droid app when searching “fdroid”.

qaz ,

Instances can see who downvotes who. You can see all of that if you run your own instance that federates with the relevant instances.

Stork seems like a great choice considering the fact that it’s replicated over several regions by default. I might start using it myself.

1 Custom GLIBC locale configurator

Pick date format, time format, currency I’m currently using a weird combination of English, German, and Danish and it still doesn’t fully do what I want (time is separated with a dot)

2 System hosts manager

Search, detect conflicts or other issues and add new items.

3 XCompose manager

I made something like this myself some time ago but it uses the outdated GTKSharp library and misses several features such as conflict detection. github.com/QazCetelic/Composition

4 Package manager

This might be a bit complicated, but it would be really neat to have an app to manage packages that doesn’t freeze, crash or fail.

5 Port your app to tauri

I saw you’re using Electron, you could port it to Tauri tauri.app

qaz ,

Cool project. Perhaps something could be implemented on the fediverse. It might even help prevent people from cropping out credits 😀.

Doors usually have something on the other side.

What's a good NAS and server system under CAD$900 (USD$658)?

I am currently using an old laptop (circa 2015) with a 250GB SSD in it, and 4GB of RAM. It runs Fedora 39 Server, and only hosts a Jellyfin instance through Docker right now (though I want to use Nextcloud later too). There is only 15GB of storage left on it, and the CPU is constantly overloaded (due to forced transcoding). I...

qaz , (edited )

You could get one of those cheap N100 boards and a couple refurbished enterprise HDD’s. Board costs about 150, case & PSU another 150, which leaves you with enough to buy 2 10ish TB drives, a boot drive and some additional RAM. Power usage should be pretty decent.

Another option is going with a second hand Mini PC and a DAS. I went with this myself because it’s the cheapest and easiest option. It cost me about €150 combined (excluding the cost of the 2 drives I had laying around), and it has served me well for the past year. The CPU is a bit weak (i5-6500T) and it doesn’t have a lot of RAM (8GiB), but it handles the 30ish docker containers and video transcoding (single stream) well.

I’ve also bought an old proliant micro server and I wouldn’t really recommend it. It uses a lot of power and it was kind of a pain to get running. I’m planning on installing a HBA adapter and using it as a backup system.

Thanks, it seems to be a bug with the Thunder app.

I think ignoring newlines is normal for markdown and GitHub flavoured markdown is the one deviating from the standard.

Use the search tool below to innovate on the affordable class of .xyz domains made up of 1.111 billion possible 6-digit, 7-digit, 8-digit, and 9-digit numeric combinations, between ‘000000.xyz’ through ‘999999999.xyz,’ now 99¢ per year, every year.
