I’ve been using Pinchflat for a while and so far it’s been great for me. It can automatically rescan the channel or playlist on a defined time (like every day or every week), and download new videos. It uses yt-dlp so you can configure all the parameters you want it to use for the download

Snikket is a simple, secure and private messaging app (based on XMPP) (snikket.org)

For self-hosting though, the project I work on - Snikket - uses XMPP but has all the nice modern things you’d expect ready to go right out of the box, more like a Matrix (Synapse/Element) setup. Probably the biggest thing missing for Snikket right now is an official web app (we currently have Android and iOS apps)....

Wolfwood1,

I’ve tried to install it on my VPS behind Traefik but couldn’t get it working. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Wolfwood1,

I know, bit Snikket still uses ports 80/443 for its web interface and group file sharing service. It even has a page for Reverse Proxy configuration, but it doesn’t include Traefik and the configuration is non-trivial

Wolfwood1,

Yes, I immediately thought about SOMA after reading the post. recommendations++

Wolfwood1,

At least it’s not Comic Sans IN THE IDE (or vim/emacs for the brave).

YSK : Dark patterns among large companies are becoming more mainstream (youtu.be)

While it is no secret that exploitative practices are interlaced with capitalistic tendencies, the practices are becoming intolerable. Signing up to pay usually takes only two clicks that are prominently visible whereas cancelation options are hidden away in deep settings requiring multiple clicks. Pricing often feel arbitrary...

Wolfwood1,

Same here.

Luckily the payment method I had used has expired so every month they remind me to skip the month if I missed doing it. They call it something different but I know what they really mean ʘ‿ʘ

Luckily you don’t need Window$. You can install Edge on your Linux distro of choice! Will it then show warnings telling you Edge is the bestest browser when you use it to search for another browser? Who knows, why not try it and find out??? Please someone use Edge on Linux, Micro$oft is now a friend of Linux

Wolfwood1,

Wow! Intel processor AND Windows? The worst of both choices for a handheld!

Wolfwood1,

Why would you need new Nvidia drivers in Windows 7 if every new game released requires Windows 10 or above?

Wolfwood1,

That’s my experience as well. I’ve been a Mint user for around 6 years (2012 to 2018 or 2019), with different DEs (Gnome, Cinnamon and Mate) and installations and there was always something that stopped working all of a sudden, or something wrong with Mint altogether that made the experience bittersweet. I even tried LMDE for a bit and didn’t last a week using it.

I ended up hopping to Antergos (RIP) and have been with it ever since.

Wolfwood1,

In the description of the video it says “Video edited with Kdenlive on Linux Mint.”. With that info I’d say that Linux support is confirmed

Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit age-inappropriate. Any suggestions from the community? (gameranx.com)

Edit: Daughter is only 5 so she’s unlikely to play much but she watches me and as long as it’s not too violent, it should be fine

Wolfwood1, (edited )

Hmm, some games with a strong female lead that I’ve played:

  • A hat in time. Lovely 3D platformer
  • Subnautica: Below Zero. Sequel to the original Subnautica but enjoyable without having played the first one. Loved both games.
  • Gris
  • Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
  • Kena: Bridge of Spirits
  • River City Girls: Pixel art beat 'em up
  • Horizon Zero Dawn
  • The latest Tomb Raider trilogy
  • Portal and Portal 2
Wolfwood1,

There are more things to do than finishing the whole game the way it was intended, not every biome has a monster that can kill you.

You can swim with the pengwings, play with the sea monkeys, build a giant base in the starting area while playing in creative mode…, there might even be mods that completely disable the need to surface for air or make every creature passive so you can swim mwext to them in peace.

Wolfwood1,

Yeah, you’re right. I had kind of forgotten about that part lol.

Even if you manage not to die in any of the horrific ways it’s still pretty violent.

Wolfwood1,

I made one of these a few years ago, but I used an Odroid XU4 instead of Raspberry. For the system image (and games) I got it from ArcadePunks.com

Wolfwood1,

It allows you to have personal 1 to 1 conversations and group chats, just like WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal.

Discord isn’t exactly the same thing as Telegram, that’s why Matrix.org is usually mentioned as an alternative to WhatsApp or Telegram but not Discord

Wolfwood1,

Yes, you can have 1:1 and rooms on Discord too, but the level of customization of rooms, roles and permissions Discord has is much more advanced than what you can find in WA, Telegram or Matrix.org.

On Discord when you’re in a server you can see (usually) every other user that’s on the same server, and in every room you’ll see some of those people, depending on the permissions. That’s not how the other options mentioned before work.

Also, on Discord you can have specific rooms dedicated to audio/video chats, on the rest (WA, Telegram, Matrix) it works differently.

I think it’s mainly because of those reasons that people compare Matrix to WA and/or Telegram instead of saying it’s a “Discord alternative”.

Wolfwood1,

Now you can finally feel the breeze and the gravity pull when you perform a leap of faith! /s

If it was a VR game it would make “some” sense, being a 3rd person game, what is the point of the gimmick?

Wolfwood1,

RIF in Peace. You’ll be missed but never forgotten, unlike Reddit.

@talklittle thank you very much for your service and for developing the best app to browse Reddit with.

Wolfwood1,

I only got Supraland: Six Inches Under.

Tunic, Elden Ring, Ori and the Will of the Wisps and others are still on muy waitlist, mostly because of my lack of time. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Wolfwood1,

Enjoy Subnautica! If you can I recommend going in as blindly as possible, and READ all the things! Oh, what I’d give to be able to forget everything about it and play it again for the first time…
