I’m not sure if the ADHD got worse or it was just the consequences that got worse. Either way, I’ve had to try to find coping mechanisms. I make a lot of lists and use the reminder app on my phone a lot.

v1.105.1 is already out. Apparently there was a critical bug in v1.105.0 to do with external libraries.

Removing "Season Unknown" with no episodes

I recently added some files to my Jellyfin instance, and some of them had their metadata scraped incorrectly. This was no big deal, they weren’t named very well. These files ended up being displayed in a “Season Unknown” season of the show. So I fixed the names, and the files’ metadata was corrected automatically....

Seems like Chris Pine is getting surprised a lot these days. Maybe we shouldn’t be asking him about these things.

I currently use AntennaPod with NextCloud’s version of GPodderSync; which is…adequate.

My ultimate solution would be one where a self-hosted app that tracks and download my podcasts, and then proxy them with some sync mechanism to an android app, but keep them as separate shows with artwork and stuff rather than consolidate them into one feed. I could then choose to listen on the self-hosted web interface or the Android app, and they would be kept in sync.

I wanted to follow up here because I became aware of a pretty good solution for this. It’s called pine pods and it’s an open source self-hosted service that also syncs with GPodder (or Nextcloud’s version of it) so it will keep AntennaPod and itself synched.

Multi-library support has been one of the most-asked-for features in Navidrome. I believe it’s even currently being worked on. Maybe just hang on? :)

I feel this comment so much. Like you, I’m a Symfonium user, after reluctantly admitting that DSub has stagnated. I really wish someone would just assume that mantle.

Tempo is probably the best of the current FOSS subsonic-compatible apps, and it ticks most of the boxes, but it still has a way to go to become my daily music app. I posted a review/wishlist in its GitHub discussions for what it could implement to be great in my view, but development seems really slow for it. It might be just one guy, I’m not sure.

Here’s hoping things get better!

I currently use Jellyfin and Navidrome. JF just seems really awkward for music. It’s like it tries to treat music and video like the same kind of entities, and they just aren’t.

I really really want a better FOSS -compatible music app.

I maintain a Jellyfin instance for audio that points at the same music library as my Navidrome instance does just so I can use the Jellyfin client for Android TV. I would absolutely LOVE to have a subsonic-compatible Android-TV-focused app, so I could finally single-source my music. It’s just not friendly to guests to have them have to log in somewhere using their own device to my music server and then have to cast to my main entertainment system at home, when Android TV is just sitting there, acting as nothing more than an old-school Chromecast.

So, don’t get me wrong, Jellyfin is THE BEST video server software FOSS or not, IMO :)

I use it! It is miles better than other Jellyfin apps for music, but there are still things I wish it still had.

Using pencils to manually rewind cassette tapes.

Actually, just having to rewind things at all.

I’m pretty sure they really mean SomethingAwful, RatherGood, AlbinoBlackSheep, etc. Most of what is being mentioned is before YouTube.

The command that I can never get right the first time is ln. I always end up creating a dead link inside my target folder, even when I read the man page directly prior.

Scientific notation for everything: 5 x 10^6 m. Seriously though, I think it would be easier to think about it in megameters or gigameters if it were more standard to do so.

I’ll usually do steps 1 and 2 for a reasonably complex review. I’ll reference the diff from the website (for work, this is Azure DevOps, for personal, GitHub or similar) while I inspect and run the modified code locally.

If using open source projects and sharing my experience by helping others on forums and logging detailed bugs when I find them counts as contribution, then everyday.

I’m a software dev myself, but I have enough on my plate with my day job and two kids that have to be taken to all manner of activities. I don’t know how all these people find the time to work on free software, probably for little to no compensation, but my hat is off to all of you, wherever you are.

GoToSocial is pretty good, but it has some fundamental limitations like being unable to follow hashtags and not having a web client of its own. I currently have a self-hosted instances of both Mastodon and GoToSocial (for testing purposes), but I mostly use the Mastodon one.

LMDE just rocks (lemmy.ml)

I have been testing for a few weeks Mint, originally started on 21.2 on an old 2012 MacBook Air… the OS was flying! As I was looking at this now 10 years old machine, now back to usable speed again I was pleasantly surprised. On my desktop was still running Fedora that is just a bit more shiny and has the latest “stable”...

Doesn’t it bug you that the LMDE logo in neofetch has the top line messed up? I have all my local systems patches and there is a PR up on their repo for it.

SteveDinn,
@SteveDinn@lemmy.ca avatar

Thia sucks, I have an S23 and I’m up to date with patches, but I don’t see this option.

Edit: Just realized that I’m only on OneUI 6.0.

Just put a candidate endorsement in porn to make it political.
