  • honestly with their whole military! fuck yeah!1!! spiel, they can get fucked. along with all other corpos with their gaping assholes to cram evermore cash into them, and that includes element the corp; they got the other fetish - cops.

  • holy shit, what a fucking idiot. it's absolutely astounding at times, highly recommend reading this... hm, writ.

  • Bitcoin gets a zero price target in wake of Burry warning

    Jump

  • I mean, I can't stand anything related to any of the shitcoins, but that dude is a clown so don't really matter what he does or does not say. also who are those clowns publishing this? alls I know is their site is fucking cancer.

  • Some questions about distro-hopping

    Jump

  • if you're on fedora, your file system is btrfs. that one has subvolumes, think partitions as folders that you don't hafta pre-size.

    so what you can do is install this endeavour thing in its own subvolume; presently you got root (fedora) and home. so you install the new os in /newroot, mount it at / and mount the existing home in its /home.

    you don't mount the old root at all, so fedora is ready and waiting when you grow tired of the new toy, and all your shit is there, no need to backup, restore, miss something etc.

    the windows partition is easily taken care of, just format it as btrfs and add it to the existing file system.

    this wipe and reinstall way isn't a thing over here, as it's rarely needed. good luck!

  • how does that work, like can I post to a "linux" multicom, comprised of all the linux communities? and if so where does that post go?

  • the article is from 2022. also, prof. weaver is fun to listen to, although a bit grating at times; check out his appearance on "factually"

  • Geo-distributed Jellyfin

    Jump

  • don't know what "slow" means in your case, but jellyfin clients have a buffer setting and increasing it should improve things for them.

  • Free Up Disk Space by Removing Old Snap Versions - OMG! Ubuntu

  • dogdamn, that thing is still alive... forgot about that monstrosity. condolences to everyone who has to put up with that snapcrap.

  • How to run programs sandboxed on a work pc

    Jump

  • this is a problemXY type of deal. leave the work PC alone. metrolist on android has everything you mentioned, allows download so it's even available offline, etc.

  • Is there a Chromecast equivalent?

    Jump

  • aside from it being the futo thing, I don't think it has an android sender and it was incompatible with anything I tried last time.

  • Is there a Chromecast equivalent?

    Jump

  • I've been using macast for the past 5-6 years and I've been looking for a replacement but none seems to pop up. the thing @Ephera@lemmy.ml mentioned looks interesting, might try to recreate.

    anyhow, you let it run on your media-PC and you send it stuff from your phone - video urls (not limited to youtube), actual video files, since it's a DLNA sink you can connect jellyfin clients to it, etc. on your phone you need allcast (not on the play store no more, get an archived apk from apkmirror or sumsuch). behind the scenes it uses yt-dlp and mpv to play back the video, full screen if you set it up so.

    it mostly works fine, needs the occasional restart when it ran too long and it's not aware of already playing stuff, like if there's jellyfin-media-player already playing something, it would be cool if it would pause it and resume after video.

    I feel this should be a functionality of JMP, doesn't seem that hard to implement it.

  • Apparently, Fedora Asahi Remix is now working on Apple M3

    Jump

  • I mean dude, come on. the ref to mbpr was to illustrate the fragility of the things - did you count the busted screens that aren't due to drops? the video was to illustrate the problem with soldered on SSDs, how apple got a multitude of different suppliers (and whose quality varies wildly) and how the TBW's for those devices are incongruent with normal use on other platforms - and those you can simply swap out.

    I'm arguing people shouldn't buy 5-year old 8gig devices for $300+, you're advocating for $1K+ machines that are marginally better and not even that when you consider the subject of this post, running linux on it. give it a rest already, you're not proving anything.

  • Apparently, Fedora Asahi Remix is now working on Apple M3

    Jump

  • one of us lacks reading comprehension. I'm specifically talking about bying used, 5-year old, 8gig laptops, that had excessive SSD wear and are in addition to that expensive and super-fragile.

    if you don't have direct experiences with those things dying en masse, you can visit the site we all hate and their r/macbookrepair subthing and skim over just one week's worth of posts. then you can click on any of the posts or videos discussing SSDs dying, like this one: https://youtu.be/MZuv4TIjk-I

  • literally the first sentence is "don't get them to run asahi". wasn't a dig at apple, macbooks, macOS, etc.

    the stuff you're suggesting (max/pro) is insanely expensive and also not the subject of my comment.

  • Apparently, Fedora Asahi Remix is now working on Apple M3

    Jump

  • I'm sure the audience here don't need this, but just in case a caution to not get one of these things (M1/M2) in order to run asahi. if you get a handmedown or sumsuch, great, have at it, but don't buy them 2nd hand however great the deal is - and it's rarely great; for that kind of money you can get a vastly superior thinkpad/elitebook/latitude that you can upgrade RAM and storage and you can service it with a nail clipper.

    those things predominantly have only 8 GB and that RAM is shared with graphics. not only is that not enough for any reasonable activity, that config caused the system to use the SSD's swap excessively; they routinely have insane TBW numbers. that in turn causes the soldered-on SSD chips to give out, netting you a brick. when you add the butterfly-fragile screens that bust from misplaced specks of dust, that purchase is anything but an investment.

    I had a coupla folks in my orbit who tried the thing from the 1st paragraph, all like "watch this!" and within a coupla weeks they were back at their thinkpads and pre-T2 macbooks.

  • Tips for picking it back up after injury

  • can't help with concrete advice but if you can, can you expand on the "taped knees", what's that about, and also who do you go to, to determine all them things, the deformity and such? thanks

  • leave it be. there ain't any one reason for the influx of new users or the absence thereof. do your thing to the best of your ability and if you happen to stumble onto something better along the way, that's a job for then. for now, it does its job.

  • TIL: People in Georgia (the country) have been protesting every day for over 400 days

    Jump

  • this shit is happening worldwide. clueless and politically illiterate folks do "the protest thing" because at some point, somewhere, like e.g. in ##way_more_complex_scenario_with_totally_different_actors## it worked! so if we persist, it's bound to happen here, too, nay?

    fucking nay.

    a protest thing that doesn't have the implied threat of "..or else" is just a hang. and those don't produce anything of importance. see every "peaceful" bullshit protest walk or whatever else impotent, poseur bullshit those ignorant fucks use to dull the blade of revolt.
