I picked up Grayjay so I can actually watch early access videos from creators I follow on Patreon. I honestly love how it seamlessly integrates multiple services around creators. Also supports Nebula, and IMO provides a nicer experience compared to the official app.
Personally I still use NewPipe (Tubular fork) for my daily viewing just because I kind of prefer that UI
IMO the meme is mocking those who think vehicles are only car-shaped objects, in light of cities imposing restrictions on personal motor vehicle use in built up areas
I doubt it has anything to do with emergency services being restricted to the vehicles shown lol…

DDG has an experimental wikipedia “AI” that pops up near wikipedia results, but theres a button you have to click manually to generate the summary AFAIK
My VPS provider also migrated away from VMWare - got an email saying VMs would be down temporarily during the move, and the main website no longer contains any references to the virtualization tech. I miss my /64 IPV6 😭 but i’ll happily give that up if it means Broadcom’s dumpster fire comes crashing down as big customers pull the plug and migrate
If you’re on mobile, there’s a ton of apps to choose from at join-lemmy.org/apps , or if PWAs are more your thing, your instance has the Voyager/Mlmym interface setup at m.lemmy.world
Finding communities used to be difficult, but it should be straightforward now just from the search, seeing as it is the largest instance.
I used to use MQTT, static_status and Healthchecks.io, and have that data passed through to Home Assistant, but it started to get pretty cumbersome as the amount of machines I had grew.
I now use just Zabbix and HealthchecksIO. I did need to spend some time writing new templates for some additional data I wanted to collect (like SMART data for SSDs that provide health metrics in non-standard attributes, and HealthchecksIO so I could see the status of various checks on my zabbix dashboard)
Zabbix also has some additional features I found appealing, like proxies that can continue recording data when the main server is down, and built in encryption. Some checks like open ports/icmp responses etc can be checked using either the local agent, the remote server, or both, which helps quickly diagnose things like firewall config issues.
I did look at some other solutions, but I wanted something integrated to hit the ground running. Mobile apps are very limited, and there is no official one to my knowledge. I use Moobix which I don’t believe is FOSS - but I could be wrong there
Try each solution out and see what works best for you!
There are also DLL mods that convert nvidia’s DLSS API to AMD FSR, in which case games usually need to be fooled into thinking the GPU is made by nvidia and not AMD
I use it on the deck - it works really well, however you can definitely see the artifacting when fast motion is occuring. There are also some odd bugs when using SMAA with FSR turned on, where the frame gen model gets confused and starts moving the game UI/HUD with the camera.
Apparently it works much better at framerates above 60FPS since the model has more data to predict future frames…
If you have genuine DLSS available it’s probably better to stick to that IMO
A lot of folks suggest getting your own domain name for having control over your online presence but the question that I have always had is what would happen to them when I die?...
I do something similar for my property’s exterior cameras, which are streamed to my VPS in ‘real-time’.
You will need to re-encode the footage - videos are already pretty well compressed, so traditional compression methods like 7z (lzma), gz, zip etc being layered on top can’t compress them further.
For your solution, I’d probably run a find every minute w/ cron to look for these files in a staging/watch folder, move them to another folder so they aren’t picked up on the next run, then re-encode with ffmpeg. Do note that when you re-encode footage, you always lose quality, even if you’re on a high quality preset.
I have a feeling that the Handbrake project can do this with a watch folder though, so might be worth looking into that. After a quick search this looks easier to setup than my solution:
The entire situation and Linus’s online persona changes over the years has left a seriously sour taste in my mouth tbh. In recent years Luke has had to rein Linus in on the WAN show on a much more frequent basis too.
And then that whole issue where LMG was knowingly releasing inaccurate videos, not adequately covering products, and the whole Billet Labs situation.
For LTT to regain my interest as an ex viewer, there need to be some serious visible changes made. Having the new dedicated CEO is good, but Linus’s attitude and its impact on the workplace culture & public perception is not great IMO. While he’s the main reason the channel was successful, it’s probably time he let the hosts take the wheel. Jake has lots of potential, as well as some of the other usual faces on Short Circuit.
If I feel a desire for tech entertainment nowadays I just watch j2c or one of the many other smaller channels out there, then GN for general news and analysis
Are you using YouTube music purely for new suggestions?
If not, and you have your own curated playlists, you could consider NewPipe (or the fork called Tubular) as it allows you to play these in the background, and even add songs from SoundCloud and Bandcamp into the same playlist.
What device do you have? These apps could just be crashing because YouTube detected it temporarily blocked access; happens all the time with yt-dlp, Piped, and NewPipe
At least so far. The first go round had the nozzle crash into the tree support, resulting in a layer shift. The good news is that the print stayed very firmly stuck to the bed....
I’m looking into printing with ASA eventually - have you tried skirts on an ASA print? (Not sure what other slicers call it - it’s a wall that is printed around the print to shield drafts)
I don’t have an enclosure on my delta so was considering that as an alternative.
I’m completely unique, both AmIUnique and the CreepJS test highlighted my installed fonts and two webcams (one of them is actually a virtual redirect for my primary webcam, since the drivers are DirectShow-based)
Would be interesting to see how my linux laptop performs, tbf it might be unique too considering it’s a mbp 2012. I remember running into at least one website I visited on it showing much higher prices compared to when I revisited the same website later from my windows desktop…
By making something private, IMO you’re revoking its status as an inherent right, and restricting access to only those who can afford it.
IMO the primary issue with this specifically venture funded stuff is that it’ll undercut the competition for as long as possible, and then hike the prices once the competition has ceased to exist. When other recurring sources of funding are available, as it usually is with public services, this kind of thing is much less of an issue
The hospitals in my nearby city have their own BRT which is open to public use, and joined to the city’s ticketing system. It shuttles between them and various key locations, and is of course wholly subsidized for the intended users.
Despite being the only BRT here it pretty much goes everywhere it should, skipping the usual traffic, and as a result gets a lot of use.
If the users were limited to the regular transportation I think they would just all drive - while there are a lot of routes here they’re not entirely pleasant to use IMO and almost always get stuck in traffic
Treated worse than pirates: things like blu-ray media only being playable on the newest blu-ray players. If your old player has no update available, you’re essentially forced to purchase a new one
Viewed as second class citizens/criminals: IMO DRM is a big one here. Why install a rootkit on someone’s computer just to identify if they’re a real customer or not? I can somewhat understand if its an online game that needs to also take advantage of anticheat to detect cheaters (still crappy though) but assuming such a level of control over someone’s equipment in the off-chance that they’re a pirate seems a bit iffy. Especially when it does nothing to prevent piracy anyway.
On that last point - even worse when its online-only DRM for a single player game that you purchased for $50 or more. Even worse worse when it’s linked to an online account that can get banned erroneously, or service revoked in that region due to local law changes. Non-starter, I’ll just 🏴☠️ at that point if I really wanted the game.
Personally steam is the only exception for me: my games launch locally without an internet connection regardless of offline mode or not, and in-game bans don’t revoke access to your entire library. Steam also operates in a metric crap ton of regions, and to date I’m not aware of them pulling service (except in a certain country that apparently banned them recently)
IMO more accurate presence detection. Common sensors like PIR and cheaper doppler radar types can detect when there’s motion, but not if a user is present but not moving in the detection area (e.g. sleeping or sitting). There’s also open source projects that can track bluetooth wearables & phones to know who specifically is in a room, but these aren’t able to detect people with no devices, say guests and kids.
The preferred approach at the moment is a combination of sensors to cover motion and person detection separately, which comes at a cost, both on your pocket and the time needed to get it working suitably for your needs, or maybe one of the more expensive radar sensors like the FP2 that can detect where in a space is occupied with higher accuracy than more affordable alternatives
The thermal cam is roughly in the same price range as the FP2 - however since it has I2C, something cheap like an ESP8266 can be used to turn it into a WiFi based presence detection sensor. Something like an ESP32 could be used to turn it into a presence detector and wearable tracker, negating the need for another separate sensor entirely.
Something like this would probably be quite close to plug and play for someone DIY focused, and wouldn’t have the same problem as radar being able to see through walls to different areas, although this is somewhat solved by surrounding the rear of the sensor in foil with caveats.
I’m interested in how it performs outdoors in rain though, a lot of existing affordable sensors (except PIR) struggle a little in wet conditions, with doppler based ones not detecting anything
