  • What else should I self-host?

    Jump

  • I'm no expert, but I read that self hosting your own instance doesn't actually help with privacy since the search providers still track those requests and if you're the only one using it, that's just tracking you with extra steps.

    Of course if you use a public instance, you have to then trust that the instance isn't tracking you

  • What big budget movie had absolutely no buisness getting made?

    Jump

  • No character growth, no arc, just in one scene he has no trouble murdering an innocent guy WHO HELPED HIM BTW, but later refuses to take out a military target HE WAS SUPPOSED to kill.

    Yeah, it's almost like the target he was about to assassinate could be the only person in the galaxy who knows how to take out the weapon he just witnessed level a city.

    To say nothing of crapping all over the iconic opening of Star Wars by having Vader watch the Death Star plans fly away, personally, with his own eyes.

    Those two scenes line up perfectly and imo are quite satisfying when watching the two films back to back. In what way does Rogue One's ending "crap all over" A New Hope's opening?

  • This is certainly the nicest OpenStreetMap client I've used. I just wish OpenStreetMap wasn't so car focussed. Still no public transport data for most of the UK :(

  • What was the worst apartment you've ever lived in?

    Jump

  • At the start of the year, we were having to kill 50 or more a day, some of them were huge, prehistoric era looking things. By the end of the year, we were only finding 1-2 a day and they were much smaller so we were definitely putting a lot of pressure on the population. Not sure if we would have wiped them out completely if we'd had to stay longer but I certainly wasn't gonna stay in that place any longer than I had to.

  • Third year in University - when we moved in, it hadn't been cleaned from the previous tenants, my parents were kind enough to come and help us clean and it took the five of us (during covid too so we were trying to social distance as much as we could) 3 days to get it into a livable state.

    That was only the start though, over the course of those days cleaning, we started noticing these weird bugs everywhere. Yup. Massive silverfish infestation. Huge ones, small ones, every room, coming in through the floor, the walls, the ceiling, behind furnature, anywhere there was a gap, they'd slither out of. We had to spray insecticide all over the place which gave me bad headaches if there wasn't enough ventilation.

    Sometimes still, out of the corner of my eye, I'll think I see one and kind of panic for a fraction of a second, I'm not sure if I'll ever get over that.

  • Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users

  • Hmm funny how Sam Altman is one of the few people responsible for creating that problem and now he's selling the solution to it

  • Flashback to my Galaxy Ace circa 2012 with its cheap plastic back cover that literally snapped in half, leading to me being "that kid" in school with my phone held together with tape... 😐

  • how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?

    Jump

  • I worked around that by making a smart playlist in Navidrome with all my tracks sorted by date added. In Tempo you can then download the entire playlist.

    Jump

  • I have just set up Navidrome from the first time and I'm using Feishin as my Linux desktop client. I installed it via nix because it isn't in the Fedora repos as far as I could tell

  • Docker is renaming a mounted drive [Solved]

    Jump

  • It sounds to me like one (or more) of your containers is referencing something on your storage drive, but Docker is loading before your drive gets mounted. When Docker sees that the folder its trying to access doesn't exist, it creates it, blocking your drive from taking that name.

    To fix it, you would need to make sure your storage drive is mounted before Docker starts, how you do that is down to you and your particular setup though.

  • Computer science has one of the highest unemployment rates

  • Want to get a job in software development? You don't need a degree at all! What you need is to demonstrate your skills with whatever tools/software employers are demanding. The simplest way to do that is with posting some open source code to GitHub (or similar).

    From my experience you certainly need both

  • Hey Lemmy, what browser do you use and why?

    Jump

  • This is the way.

    Zen's UI is great, and it has better defaults for privacy than Firefox does, as well as having its own mods repository on top of all the standard Firefox webextensions. (Try "better find bar", "floating history" and "floating status bar" if you haven't already, they make the last few bits of the UI look consistent)

  • How I use Pinchflat/Sponsorblock to avoid podcast ads

    Jump

  • I've had a pipeline in mind for exactly this purpose that I want to build when I get around to it:

    • Download the audio file from RSS feed
    • Self hosted AI transcription model (with output that includes timestamps)
    • Self hosted LLM to recognise ad sections and return the start and end timestamps as json
    • ffmpeg to slice those timestamps out and stitch the rest back together

    In theory, this should be able to remove ad and sponsor sections of any length completely automatically and there's nothing to stop it working on videos too

  • Ooh, that is neat! I've been using Lemmy for months and didn't know this was a thing. You're my first tracked upvote now :)

  • What's a good HTPC OS and software?

    Jump

  • I've found Android TV to be the most usable TV OS tbh. I use Konstakang's LineageOS Android TV 15 image on a Pi 5 which is source available (non commercial only licence). And Projectivy Launcher (closed source but is by an indie dev and better than the stock Google one). The Pi is CEC compatible so I can control it with my TV remote no problem, and I use Moonlight to stream games from my PC.

    If you already have hardware, there may be an Android x86 TV release somewhere but I haven't personally tested any, and you have to make sure the apps you want support x86 (all the open source ones like Jellyfin should)

    Edit to add: I also personally haven't found a need to install GApps as all the apps I use are either open source, or were made to work also on FireTV so don't rely on GApps APIs. (Use SmartTube instead of YouTube, it's a better experience anyway)
