Self hoster and lover of cheeses
I have kodi boxes on all of my TVs and play local 4k content 95% of the time, but yea I need sports and live tv occasionally. Websites work pretty well on computers but the streams on kodi addons are very bad, constant interruptions. So I can either hook up raspberry pis runnung raspbian on each my Tvs and have wireless keyboards so I can go to the streaming websites, or I try to get a paid IPTV service on kodi, which I’m trying to do right now.
Anybody used this yet? Will this be the btrfs killer I’ve been hearing it might be?
I recently rebuilt my home server using containers instead of (qemu/KVM) VMs and I notice a performance benefit in some areas. Although I just use systemd-nspawn containers rather than docker as I don’t really see the need to install 3rd party software for a feature already installed on my OS.
I handle snapshots by using btrfs. Works great
Something about buying and using a Google device doesn’t sit right with me but you may be right, this may be the best solution.
Alacritty for me
I’m not going to argue that xmpp shouldn’t be the defacto Foss social/chat network based on merit, it definitely has merit. But in reality, it had its shot and it did not take off. Now, in 2023, Matrix is our best shot at an open, Foss, decentralized chat protocol taking off.
Any arguments that xmpp evangelists will try to come back at this statement with do not matter. I’m sorry, it is just a fact, the clock isn’t turning back. Matrix may not be perfect for everybody, but it’s pretty damn great, and it has the momentum right now. Let’s please not screw this up with the typical fragmentation the open source community regularly has.
Found this recently and loving it. Only issue I have is it loads every episode of a podcast when you click on the podcast, so if you have a pod with 1000 episodes, you’re gonna be waiting a few seconds when you click on it. Makes it feel sluggish.
Antenna pod and other apps load the pod instantly with a handful of episodes and then load more if you scroll. That makes way more sense.
If the bears finish 28th after purposely tanking for most of last season, getting a haul for the #1, and overall just seeming very competent and doing things that actually make sense for a change… I’ll be sad. IMO there would have to be severe injuries to key players for them to be that bad this season. Especially in the nfcn, nobody is head and shoulders above everyone unless you really trust the lions… Combine that all with the schedule this season, seems to be very favorable.
My expectation is 7 win team, my hope is wildcard competitor.
Gentoo is fantastic for me on my home desktop. I love the rolling release nature and customization opportunities. Portage is so powerful.
For all of my work computers I use either ubuntu or kubuntu with sway. I love gentoo but with work devices I don’t have time to tinker. There are also many programs I need for work that offer .deb installs that aren’t in gentoo repos nor overlays.
For servers I love Debian.
It’d be great if this was easily installable outside of gnome. I’d love an easy way to do this on sway or hyprland. Unless there already is a way?
I cycle between 4 pairs of shoes in summer, two pairs of boots in winter, and one pair of all year shoes. I have had them all for over ten years. Tips:
I also prefer to buy shoes made in UK, Italy, or US but that is just preference for perceived quality and definitely higher paid workers than most countries that mass produce shoes.
If you want a specific recommendation go with Allen Edmond Strandmoks. That’s my all year pair. Great shoes.
Interesting to hear people have the opposite experience as me. I have a home theater and love dynamic audio (loud when supposed to be loud, quiet when supposed to be quiet) but have noticed more and more that movies seem to be mixed for iPads and sound dead. Disney/Pixar is a great example of home theater enthusiasts finding their movies just aren’t acoustically exciting anymore.
The only time I hate dynamic audio is when I’m trying to fall asleep
I was a 10 year lurker on reddit. Now I have my own Lemmy instance
Your mom’s so fat I can’t even ultrahand her

I haven’t been able to subscribe to any community hosted by lemmy.ml for quite awhile. When I click subscribe it just says subscription pending. I figured it was because of their server load at first, but since it’s still happening I’m not so sure. Anybody else having this issue?
Sneaker culture is incredibly weird. Shoes made by children in China with a limited edition color are in such high demand that there are sites where people refresh F5 constantly hoping to have the honor to pay hundreds and hundreds for shoes that cost $7.50 to make. Then half of the time people won’t even wear them outside, they’ll put them in a bag and change shoes when they get to work or whatever. Or some might not even wear the shoes at all and just display them.
I’m an old soul in this sense. I love a quality goodyear welted shoe, and made in USA, UK, or Italy usually. An Allen Edmonds strandmok is a fantastic everyday shoe for me. I like to purchase nice things in general, use them, take care of them. I really hate throwaway culture as well.
Please nobody hate me for this, I’m a bit self conscious being an admin of my own instance and don’t want to piss people off haha. If you’re into gym shoe culture that’s awesome. If I knew you in real life I’d probably make fun of you for a minute if I saw you walking outside in socks carrying your $400 limited edition sneakers, but then you can make fun of me for one of the thousands of things I do and it’s all in good fun.
AntennaPod is great, I used it for years. I eventually switched to self hosting AudioBookShelf which does audiobooks, ebooks, and podcasts. One main reason was because podcasts more and more yank the old episodes and put them behind a patreon. AudioBookShelf downloads the episodes to your server so you always have them. About 5 months after starting using it another one of my podcasts pulled that stunt and I was super happy to have all of the old episodes still.
