  • Immersion destroyed in 0.2 seconds

  • Yeah! Someone else mentioned this, and I knew it was a bit of a thing. I also know that a lot of the film was shot on location, so I’m curious if the shot was actually flipped, or maybe one of the shots was done on a set, not in the actual fridge. I read/watched some stuff about the intentional discontinuities in The Shining but this one has never been mentioned as far as I know.

  • In The Shining, when the family is being given a tour of the hotel fairly early in the movie, they get shown the walk in fridge. There is a shot of the door to the fridge from the hallway and then a cut to a shot from the back of the fridge looking toward the door. The hinges are on opposite sides between the two shots. Immersion ruined.

  • Will lemmy add live stream feature so that i can stream football cup for free for everyone? And thus this platform will grow more?

    Jump

  • I don’t know if this is the kind of feature that really fits Lemmy. I feel like it would be better suited as part of a video streaming platform or a stand alone piece of software. Owncast is a self hosted live streaming platform. Just keep in mind that you will essentially be running an IPTV service, which broadcasters really don’t like and if it gets big enough you might get a knock on your door.

  • "Converting" Home Manager and Flake Configs

    Jump

  • I already use Unix pass as my password manager and have a private git server for it. Is there a nice way to get that working with secrets in my config? I know that directly goes against the suggestion of SSH vs GPG, but I’ve already got lots of data saved within that system.

  • God, I wish I could just do like a live coding session with a group to explain what I know and like and how to translate that into flakes and hm. Lots of good info and suggestions from everyone, but I feel I could explain myself better with my system in front of me. I get the flakes concept of locking a program to a particular version. I like that idea, but I also think I’m still in a stage of building out my system, discovering which packages I want. And I understand home manager is for handling my home folder and config within nix.

    I can’t place it, but for some reason I don’t mind my config files living in .config, and keeping my system (for now) up to date and running the latest version of most software. That being said I of course see the value in both of these in the long term, especially as I work to build out a config I can install on all my systems and automatically toggles the correct modules based on device and user. I want that, but my repeat failure to get the flakes I want working, working, tells me I need to learn more base nix before I tackle that.

    In fact I could tell I learned a lot when I had to figure out how to remove flakes and hm when I kind of got them working. While I had moved my config into home manager, I also broke a bunch of other things, rendering enough of my desktop environment non-functional (audio mostly lol), that I needed to do something. The solution I knew I could pull off was completely rewriting my config as a sort of in between of my single file Hyprland based config, to a directory of files and niri. Learning to properly import other files, learning about needing to include default.nix and how I can toggle which files are imported very easily with comments. The broader nix ecosystem started to make more sense.

    I finally got good about using git, I made a folder structure that makes a lot of sense to me as far as parts of my config that are interoperable or machine specific. It’s clicking. I know the next step from that is probably flakes and hm, but again, the last time I tried to add those to my config, I broke way more than I fixed.

    I feel just dumb enough with this that I’m not sure I’m comfortable sharing my config publicly yet. For example I haven’t implemented a secrets setup, so things like my syncthing IDs are in my config still.

    As far as clearer goals. I’d like a config I can distribute across 3 machines (for now).

    • A desktop running niri, and kind of for fun as much other rust based software as possible (iron bar, helix, etc.). I know there will have to be exceptions, but it’s been fun engaging with a lot of recent work using rust.
    • A home server/nas/router using Podman for containers like Tailscale/wireguard, Jellyfin, audiobookshelf and such. If this can also handle my pihole/local dns and firewall that would be awesome, but I also have a RespberryPi I can dedicate to those.
    • A living room PC that boots straight to steam big picture, and has all the emulator platforms I could ask for.

    There’s many more thoughts prancing around in my head, but I don’t know how to prompt them.

  • Spotify’s payment model also adds a ton of bias to their suggestions. Artists need to hit a threshold number of listens a month to get paid at all, so Spotify ends up just suggesting music from artists they are already paying, rather than letting other folks hit that threshold. It’s also why the “shuffle” feature never actually shuffles a whole playlist before starting to repeat songs. If you really pay attention the songs that get repeated by the shuffle algorithm are the ones from bigger artists to try and keep smaller groups from getting paid at all.

  • Please let this be your sign to start ditching corporate platforms across the board. Enshitification will come for your pristine app experience eventually. Go spend your Spotify monthly bill on one album every month from bandcamp or something. Own your own media. Share it with friends. GET OFF CORPO AD PLATFORMS! I realize this is the fediverse, so people are already kind of on board, but I think music streaming is often given a pass, or sneaks by our focus when discussing these issues.

  • Woah, I just got an ad for this today, and was intrigued enough to see what their monetization model was (in app purchases/subscriptions for “pro” features) and took a big pass on it.

  • I accidentally did this when getting into skateboarding edits. My player is set to default to 1.75x speed. I happened to watch a video on a new browser or something and literally thought gravity was acting differently for a sec because how much more airtime they were getting then I realized I had trained a misperception of gravity into myself.
