@qaz@lemmy.world

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

qaz,

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.

qaz,

Weird

qaz,

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

If you don't use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.

They are not wrong.

To mend your machine:

  1. Ditch Windows
  2. Install Plasma
  3. Your computer is ready.

@kde

A laptop running the laters version of Plasma, Plasma 6.

qaz,

Compared to Windows? Because then it’s probably not plasma but the underlying distribution.

qaz,

Punycode enables you to encode any Unicode character as ASCII. Almost all browsers support this.

qaz,

It utilizes punycode under the hood. The actual DNS entries still use ASCII.

qaz,

Signal isn’t perfect but it’s still one of the best options.

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,

In April 2019, a Twitter post by Pyle from 2017 resurfaced regarding the pro-life rally March For Life. According to some reporters, Pyle’s tweet expressed support for, or defended, March For Life. The tweet caused many fans to turn against Strange Planet and its creator, in a controversy described by at least one outlet as an example of the Milkshake Duck phenomenon.

Pyle released a statement shortly afterwards which did not mention abortion, but said that he and his wife “have private beliefs as they pertain to our Christian faith. We believe separation of church and state is crucial to our nation flourishing.” He also stated they voted for the Democratic Party, and were “troubled by what the Republican Party has become and [did] not want to be associated with it.”

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

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

qaz,

Doors usually have something on the other side.

qaz,

Floorp is not open source, it’s proprietary.

You may not modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software.

qaz,

It’s

What is it in this case?

qaz,

streetcomplete is a great companion app. It makes it really easy to add points of interest and help collect other data. I’ve already made over a thousand edits using it.

2.5. Floorp is not completely open-source same. Floorp’s a part of codes are protected by copyright law and is not licensed under an open-source license. You may not use part of Floorp’s code in your own projects without permission from the Licensor.

2.6. If MPL2.0 or any other open-source license notation is present in the file, the file is available as open source.

It seems like their modifications and the resulting application are proprietary.

The MPL is an open-source license designed to protect its own code. If you modify MPL code, you need to publish those modifications under the MPL. That’s the focus of the license. There’s no “viral” requirement to affect the licensing provisions of the rest of your code.

It seems this is a legal way of using MPL code.

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...

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.

What's your go-to "Bang for your Buck" filament brand?

As I’m graduating college in a few weeks, I’ll be losing access to my university’s free printers and filament. I’m going to build up a home lab with a couple printers where I can make goofy little mechanical projects as well as some components for my cars and stuff....

qaz,

Clickable link: www.tangledfilament.com

qaz,

I’m in the EU and have been buying filament from www.123-3d.nl so far. They also have an English shop www.123-3d.co.uk.

qaz,

Your example is also rendered

qaz,

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