I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • [Help Design Lemmy] What is a good text for the donation dialog in Lemmy?

    Jump

  • You could add a word or phrase to remind people that it's being given away for free to anyone that wants to run it. That might get people to think about any benefit they are getting out of it, and how much they want to donate in response.

    I'm not sure what is the best wording for that, but just be careful in case someone misunderstands and thinks it might become paid someday. I've seen that complaint in the past

    For example, this could be misinterpreted:

    and if you want to keep using it for free

    You can also add a note about the frequency of the messages. Saying that you will only remind people once a year is nice to hear, and that way people won't dismiss it thinking they will do it when they are reminded the next time

    Also I think the post is talking about hiding the data to begin with. There are already some tracking tools out there that look at the existing data. If the data isn't accessible to you, then it's not accessible to the AI either. Nothing for anyone to look at

    Although I'm not familiar with flight details to know what exactly is being hidden, or if there are workarounds

  • Which community is it?

    To summarize

    • admins are the people that run the website (ex. lemmy.world)
    • moderators are the people that manage a particular community (ex. I am a moderator for !canada@lemmy.ca)

    If you want to add someone else as a moderator for your community, you can either

    • Find a post or comment that they made in your community
    • Select the menu and look for 'Appoint as Moderator'

  • [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to?

    Jump

  • Some brainstorming from me:

    • Ideally people do not buy more teslas
    • An initial goal would be to use the vehicle without it phoning home. Would the TeslaMate project be sufficient for that?
    • Long term, would it be possible to replace the software running on the car's console? Or would it be better to tear out the console and replace it with something else?

    Alternatively, what would a recycling/conversion program look like?

    But looks like the score is positive again 🙂

  • Why indeed

    Jump

  • With that in mind, I LOVE how lean and fast some FOSS apps/projects are. One of my motivations to go searching for FOSS alternatives is when something seems slow for no reason.

    It's not always the case, but it's often the case

  • Recommendations for home media infrastructure esp. software?

    Jump

  • Oh interesting, I didn't know that was a thing

    Quoting from: https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/1bapfkl

    The armv8 architecture which the DS218 uses is supported by Container Manager, Synology just put a hardcoded config into the official package to exclude certain models from installing it:

    exclude_model="synology_rtd1296_ds118 synology_rtd1296_ds218 synology_rtd1296_ds218play synology_rtd1296_ds418 synology_rtd1296_ds418j synology_armada37xx_ds119j synology_rtd1296_rs819"

    Pretty sure the https://github.com/007revad/ContainerManager_for_all_armv8 linked above just removes the hardcoded exclusion and doesn't need to change anything else to get it to work.

    If that workaround looks shady, you might be better off just installing docker directly

  • Which Synology NAS is it, and can you install Container Manager on it? That might be the simplest option since your files are already on that device. There should be lots of guides out there for it.

    Container Manager is basically a worse DockGE / Portainer by Synology. It should be sufficient for pasting in the Jellyfin docker compose, but if you wanted you could also spin up DockGE/Portainer first and do it through that interface (or SSH into the NAS and do it all with the command line)

    So the setup would be

    • run Jellyfin as a Docker container on the Synology NAS (using either Container Manager or DockGE/Portainer/straight up command line)
    • try it out with the web browser/desktop app/mobile apps to see if you like it
    • find a setup that you find convenient for the TV (ex. Android TV apps with some device, the desktop app on the PC, etc)

    EDIT: Looks like there are official guides for it, as well as lots of videos on YouTube: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/synology/

    I gather Plex is at least semi-commercial while Jellyfin is the open source but worse option.

    I haven't used Plex enough to judge, but from the comments I've seen it seems that Jellyfin is now on par with or better than Plex. There was also some news recently about Plex moving more core features (remote playback?) to the paid plans, so I imagine there will be more people moving over soon.

    There are a lot of options for client side apps, official and unofficial, so you might be able to find something specific to your setup

  • I thought it might be in settings but I don't see it. For me, I got an option for "just this one" vs "always" when I tried to open a video, and it seems to be remembering that.

    You could try backing up any settings and resetting the app to see if you get anything different, although it really should let you pick a default at any point

  • Facebook/Meta made itself to be the de facto method for accessing the internet in the region, and then refused to regulate its engagement-based algorithm as it fueled violence and unrest in the region

    https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/09/myanmar-facebooks-systems-promoted-violence-against-rohingya-meta-owes-reparations-new-report/

    Facebook owner Meta’s dangerous algorithms and reckless pursuit of profit substantially contributed to the atrocities perpetrated by the Myanmar military against the Rohingya people in 2017, Amnesty International said in a new report published today.

    The Social Atrocity: Meta and the right to remedy for the Rohingya, details how Meta knew or should have known that Facebook’s algorithmic systems were supercharging the spread of harmful anti-Rohingya content in Myanmar, but the company still failed to act.

    “In 2017, the Rohingya were killed, tortured, raped, and displaced in the thousands as part of the Myanmar security forces’ campaign of ethnic cleansing. In the months and years leading up to the atrocities, Facebook’s algorithms were intensifying a storm of hatred against the Rohingya which contributed to real-world violence,” said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.
