  • [AIT] The Codeberg ban on LLM content

    Jump

  • But fwiw, Fuck AI coding, not only for its unmaintainability but also for stealing of intellectual property.

    Would you be okay with a coding model that was trained only on open source software?

  • Can it be programmed without the app?

    Not as far as I can tell. You need the phone app to program it via Bluetooth. I suspect that the app has all of the codes and does not need connectivity once you've downloaded it, but the database of codes would live in the app and not in the remote hardware.I would prefer another Harmony to the Sofabaton U2, but the Harmony still relies on an app to program it. Unfortunately, according to thishttps://support.myharmony.com/en-us/download#harmonyRemote7xthe software is no longer available, and even if you could snag it you wouldn't be able to make a new account to use it (obviously it's bullshit that you need an account, but c'est la vie.) Basiclly: Harmony had good hardware and bad software, the Sofabaton is the other way around.

  • Recommendations for a universal TV remote?

    Jump

  • I bought a Sofabaton U2 to replace my worn-out Harmony and it's... okay. The main frustration is the buttons. You really have to mash them to get them to register, and way the remote is designed the IR signal gets weaker as the batteries fade, which can be really frustrating. The wheel that chooses your program has also become very flaky.That said, the app for programming it is better than Logitec's for the Harmony. If you're in there frequently to set up control of different hotel TVs it should be fairly easy.

  • Laptop as server, how to best manage battery?

    Jump

  • My primary server is an Acer laptop running Debian. It ran on power with no modification or trouble for a couple of years, but I heard some horror stories about spicy pillows so I found a way to clamp the battery's charge level to 80%. Now it just sits there like that. I know how to do it with an Acer laptop - not sure about Dell.But nothing has burnt down and it's been running for several years.

  • Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 years

    Jump

  • Why let perfect be the enemy of good?

    You must be new here (Lemmy).

  • Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language?

    Jump

  • It's not so much easy-difficult, it's high-level-low-level. Low-level languages can be easy in the sense that you don't have many entities to juggle (stacks, registers, etc.) and high-level languages can be miserable, like C++.Of you're interested in starting with the fundamentals, go with C. If you just want to get something made, go with Claude Python.

  • How is Jellyfin on Apple TV 4K?

    Jump

  • I use the Swiftfin client since I'm not willing to pay a subscription for Infuse. It works fine for video, except the major pain point for me is that it doesn't refresh automatically, and you can't refresh from within the app. So if you want to see new items on your server, you have to force-quit / swipe away Swiftfin and reopen it.

  • Is there a way to auto backup from iPhones?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure how it does it, but my Synology NAS can act as a Time Machine server and my laptop backs up to it, no cloud involved. So I know it's possible, but I don't know what kind of open source solutions are available.

  • [QUESTION] What makes a well stocked pantry?

    Jump

  • I also have way more beans than anyone needs in their house.

    My mother does this and as soon as there's an apocalypse she'll be vindicated.

  • [QUESTION] What makes a well stocked pantry?

  • 194 boxes of penne, because you can't remember if there's any left and you might as well pick some up while you're here.

  • How do you document your setup?

    Jump

  • I use Obsidian with a folder for hardware and a folder for software, then an entry for each device or service. I've been pretty good about maintaining cross-links.I kind of wish I used Docker Compose more, but I haven't run into a situation where it's been a problem yet.

  • But what's the point of downvoting on Lemmy? It doesn't seem to affect visibility. Or maybe there's a setting somewhere I need to adjust?

  • Stephen Colbert says CBS didn't air Rep. James Talarico interview out of fear of FCC

  • Exactly. Post it to a Programming forum because... you know, computers and stuff.

  • Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse

    Jump

  • I still don't understand the point of downvoting here since it doesn't seem to affect visibility. You'll have the dumbest take on something sitting there at -36 and I still have to look at it.

  • Looking for CPU upgrade advice

    Jump

  • You'll have to make sure your BIOS is updated to be compatible with a new CPU. It's a PITA, but you'll need to go to Asrock's site and scroll through the different versions and figure out what your board can support. I also have a cheap old Asrock B450M board. Started with a 5600, now running a 5700x. So Asrock can be good about updates.

  • I have pihole running on an old Raspberry Pi B and it just chugs along. Except for the wonky update they put out a few months ago. That took some cleaning up after.I check the dashboard a few times a day and it's a good way to notice network issues and misbehaving programs.I'm also running it through cloudflared to encrypt the requests, in case my ISP is snooping on them.
