Global namespace extremist. Defragment your communities!
People tried to bring more content through bridges. Mastodonians promptly started crying about how it literally puts peoples lifes in danger. Some still have #nobridge tags in their profiles to this day, thinking it matters somehow in an open network.
Nothing? Im as pessimistic as it gets, but it has provided traction for at least 3 competing decentralized alternatives.
Hope not. The new translation tools is great.
For a relatively long time I was under the impression that Servo is pretty advanced, but after the last weeks news, I’m not so sure anymore.
So the native gnu userspace will become the third most used desktop linux runtime :P
Yes. Jellyfin will index the media files and push all the metadata along with the file paths on the network share they both can see to the local kodi database. That way browsing the library on kodi does not suffer any additional latency, but you also lose some advanced jellyfin functionality like on the fly re-encoding.
That’s strange. I’m using the old Jellyfin addon (not the JellyCon), and so far only encountered one bug in total, which, if you are familiar with kodi addon ecosystem, is basically unheard of. And even that one is related to my non-standard manual configuration that allows me to use WebDAV instead SMB or NFS. It’s using the wrong type of escaping for certain special characters, which is understandable, because who in their right mind uses WebDAV?
Kodi itself can act as a frontend for Jellyfin.
It’s an excellent thin client as well. I’ve played the second half of death stranding through the free tier of Geforce Now.
Disappointment? Only if you mean the person that came up with FoomaticRIP.
For those who did not read the entire thing, it’s a so called “filter” that converts the document before it’s sent to certain nasty types of printers. Except it’s not executed on the print server. The unauthenticated print server can just ask a client to run it on their side. And it’s designed to be able to execute ANY command.
One could argue the vests are like seat belts in a car. You don’t need them 99.9% of the time.
Publicly spreading the faces of people you’re accusing of a crime
That would be a sound argument if they weren’t doing the crime right there on the video.
I actually like those, and started to watch the channel regularly after the house remodeling series.
What’s barely sufferable are the “we bought stuff from the internet and here it is. check out our sponsor…” videos that’s been published a lot lately.
I host 2 ejabberd servers. One casual, federated, the other one standalone, for work.
For Mastodon, I’m using an Akkoma instance hosted by a frind of mine
Every once in a while I try Matrix, but each time I try to log in, Synapse is is fucked in a different way. I have to scrap it up and start from the ground up some day.
I’m a big fan of Nostr, because of one particular feature - You control your identity without having to selfhost a server. The network seems to be occupied by the christian-carnivore-bitcoin-conservatives so far, therefor it’s pretty bland when it comes to content.
For some special use cases I have Signal, but most of the time, Telegram is the best the average person can do to meet me in the middle.
We hate the AI and proof of work, yet DEMAND someone to moderate our inboxes. For free.
That’s not a slow laptop. I’ve been daily driving worse for years.
To protect the data from random thief just browsing through the files I still use ecryptfs. It only encrypts the home directory, and the keys are derived from my accounts password, so no extra hassle.
The encryption is weak by the current standards, and wouldn’t stop a determined attacker, but it’s 100% better than nothing, and I’ve never noticed any performance problems.
Pidgin was decent, but remember Miranda? The community around it was fantastic. The plugin system was an absolute blast. Not only there were plugins for any communication network you could think of, the UX was fully customizable.
At one point, somebody even bothered to implement the ICQ flash animations. There has not been anything like it ever since.
If a communication software has terms of service, run away!
Gmail offers imap amd smtp access. You have to enable 2FA, and then it will allow you to create account for so called “less secure apps”.
In your place, I’d either continue using gmail directly, or finish the configuration of the self hosted mail server and just use that with any smtp/imap client. I suggest getting a separate domain for testing first, before moving your primary inbox there.
Way beyond fist shaking here. My brain simply doesn’t process the trendy flat UX. It looks like when my kitchen garbage can tips over. A piece of carrot here, empty milk crate over there, sprinkled with onion peels, and some unidentified goop that I only discover later in the evening, using my bare feet, while getting a cup of water…
What’s weird though is that I similarly hate the circle android icons. They all kinda blend together like a bowl of skittles. Make them squircle though… instantly recognizable!
