I use it for my music server and have enjoyed it, but I haven't really used it in a "fediverse" kind of way. I'm just using it for my own music collection, for the same use case that most people would use Navidrome for.
I disabled federation after I first set it up, because all of the sudden a bunch of podcasts showed up in languages that I don't speak, and I couldn't figure out how to hide them.
It has been just fine as a plain old music server, though. I used it for podcasts for a while, too, but am currently switching to Pinepods, since that has more podcast-specific features that I was looking for.
I’ve never once had to convert feet into miles, and I can’t imagine I’m unique in this.
100% this. Look, imperial may be silly, but some of the arguments for changing to metric are also very silly. Things are usually at a mile scale or a foot scale, and I don't really need to go between the two.
And sure, converting between different units is convenient in metric, but how often do you have to do that? So you can easily tell me how many liters of water would be needed to fill a giant, square kilometer fish tank, but who needs to do that?What grade school math problem are you living in?
How does a company like this make money? Like, is it basically a consulting firm that plans to do development on core Linux features? Custom dev work that they are also able to open source? They already have quite a few employees on the about page.
Unfortunately, the only open source physical media player I'm aware of is the Tangara. Their most recent blog post is from July, 2025, and mentions some tweaks they want to make before doing another production run. So there might be more units coming, but there will be a wait.
Oh interesting, maybe it's just more of a western US thing and I assumed it was the whole country. I live in Utah now, and every high school has it here. Also every high school (from what I remember) in California also had it.
Had my learner's permit at 15, and regular license at 16, which is pretty standard in the US. The driving school for me was literally the high school. Like, the driving class was one of the classes you take in your regular school. That is also pretty common in the US.
That's interesting, I'll try to learn more about that.
So, in this case, the community I was trying to post to was !vinyl@lemmy.world. There is also a user with that name on lemmy.world. If I search "vinyl@lemmy.world" on Mastodon, does that mean both of them should show up? And what would their names be? One would start with ! and the other start with @?
I think that's just a way of getting a link to the community, but it doesn't actually tag the community in your post or make it get posted into that community. I just tried it, and the post does not show up in the community that I mentioned with !.
Seeing major projects move away from GitHub is so encouraging, I love it. But hopefully people also see that codeberg can use some donations to be able to handle the new traffic. (Which reminds me, I need to do that...)
Gmail is the best (worst) example of this. They literally have EVERY possible icon for "settings" on the page at once.
There's a hamburger button. There's a three dots button. There's a NINE DOTS BUTTON. There's a cog. There's a slider icon. And you click your profile picture for "manage your account."
OK, that one is only unpopular on specific, Linux-heavy parts of the internet. (Like... right here.) And even then, there aren't that many people who disagree with me. But there are definitely a few people who have this idea that we'd all be using super fast, powerful command line applications for all of our tasks, were it not for big tech pushing the graphical interface on us.
I get it; I'm a command-line person myself. And big tech has pushed a lot of anti-user changes. But the truth is that most users want to use a mouse, they want to have a GUI, and the shift from keyboard to mouse wasn't simply because Microsoft wanted to limit the users' capability.
I went to a bar to get a beer after work, and ended up talking for a little bit with the guy sitting next to me. Then we ran into each other again at a coffee shop. So now we get a drink after work on purpose every once in a while. It's great.
Same here. I'm the only user of my services, so if I try visiting the website and it's down, that's how I know it's down.
I prefer phrasing it differently, though. "With my current uptime monitoring strategy, all endpoints serve as an on-demand healthcheck endpoint."
One legitimate thing I do, though, is have a systemd service that starts each docker compose file. If a container crashes, systemd will notice (I think it keeps an eye on the PIDs automatically) and restart them.
