Thanks for making me laugh!

Florida man -> woman. Can’t believe how dumb lemmy can be at times.

There’s a gender fluid joke in there somewhere

It is created by the samw dev as pixelfed - wouldn’t be surprised if parts were reused to bootstrap quickly.

Irc is not federated, though. Servers don’t talk to each other

Takes half a minute to start playing, which gets annoying real quick when a toddler gets involved with all the short videos.

Random buffering every 10-15 minutes on most 1080p as well as 4k videos.

Random buffering every couple of minutes on certain videos - the whole of the office us is the last one I remember.

Crappy multi audio track support - some of them play, but most don’t. What was most infuriating at first was jellyfin happily selecting the track I want in UI and then just playing the default one anyway.

The UI is kinda crap - I understand moving on a tv screen is more difficult, but god damn - what jellyfin is doing with arrow navigation is plain masochistic.

When it works - it’s beautiful. But it rarely does so for long enough.

I really want to like it, but it’s doing its best to push me away.

And before you suggest anything - I’ve already tried everything there is to try that’s available on the open internet. Happy to hear something that’s never been posted anywhere, though!

I can only vouch for my setup; many variations are available.

• Nextcloud - files, photo autoupload, contacts, calendar
• Postfix and dovecot (and a bunch of friends) - email
• Pixelfed - private instagram. Can federate, but I’ve never enabled that.
• Opnsense - firewall, vpn, adblocking via unbound. Wireguard is my choice, but any would do. I get all my lan stuff available everywhere.
• Jellyfin - media library. It’s kinda sucky, though, thinking of going back to plex, unfortunately.
• Lemmy - well. You know what it is :)
• Graphene on a pixel

Hit me up if you ever decide to go self hosting route and need a hand with a thing or two!

My god. Per-call charges should really cease existing. If it’a number of support calls that’s making you money and not the product - your product sucks.

EXACTLY! I mean I’m coming from a sysadmin side, but I’ve definitely been spoilt by all the manpages, flexibility, stability, etc of foss. It’s insane how some vendors can ship a product with pretty much no logging and call it a day.

I carry the attitude that withholding the fact they suck is being selfish and ignorant. How else are they supposed to improve? 😁

I’ve always wanted to archive stuff, but storage costs keep getting in the way. Any idea if there’s some trick people use to get around it? I’d love me a tape robot, but that’s stupid expensive.

I saw “fall off” and immediately thought of this aussie gold 😁

Can’t recall what the title was, but I do remember reading a guide of sorts that essentially boiled down to “start following tags first, you can filter people later”.

This is a sensationalized title. As always - nobody ever reads the bloody articles. What he actually said was

we’re not going to hit the climate goals anyway because we’re not organized to do it.

Is he that wrong? Do you think we actually are organized enough?

You won’t win this one here. Lemmy is disappointingly facebook-like in terms of their seemingly endless desire to be told what to do every step of their lives.

I realise the numbers are sort of made up, but in general I fully agree. I do sometimes think that politicians regulate for the sake of it, as if justifying their existence.

What is it about owls that make them so adorable? 🤩

At The Moment

Nexus 5 represent!

Ship an appimage or something, use basic fs abstraction to create an encrypted blob, do whatever you want within said blob.

Look at virtualbox or something for inspiration.

Look at xdg desktop portals for transfering files.

A bit of a PSA for LG owners running webOS:

I rooted my tv and now have adless youtube, but apparently root is not a prerequisite - there also installation using dev mode. Admitedly, haven’t tried it and it’s probably less convenient to get it set up, but then it should be a one time thing.
