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.

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I made something like this myself some time ago but it uses the outdated GTKSharp library and misses several features such as conflict detection.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

qaz,

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,

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.

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,

And the subtext “Wij komen altijd” means we always come and has a double meaning.

qaz,

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

qaz,

Only 24,99 € / 30 days, what a steal

A numerical .xyz domain costs less than a dollar a year, and you can make as many redirect links as you want.

qaz, (edited )

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.

This is from the registrar itself back in 2017.

qaz,

Why did you link to a partial re-upload on some shady Vietnamese channel instead of to the original?

qaz,

The new link seems to be broken

qaz,

Yes, it does now

qaz,

PulseAudio?

qaz,

I know, but I was wondering if I could perhaps take a look.

qaz,

Why?

qaz,

Thanks for the reminder to check my backups
