Hi,...

Is HEVC (8-bit)/AAC a good, modern CODEC combination for rebuilding & reducing my library size without compromising quality? Helpful feedback would be appreciated.

Too many “what got cancelled too soon” questions, what’s a show that went on too long?...

Bonus points if it’s usually misused/misunderstood by the people who say it

Please try to tag artist and genre in your comments! Everything welcome!...

After 16 years of living in my city, they will finally have city-wide fiber internet. I’m pretty stoked because the fastest internet I could possibly have is a WISP at 50gbps down and 10gbps up. Now I will finally have gigabit but it’s through the city, and I’m wondering if they will be more strict on illegal content...

I just got Kodi up and running on a Firestick. I installed the Xenon Build for add-ons. Does anyone have a link to a guide on everything that you can customize and a general use guide?...

Anyone know what happened to unilem.org? It was my main lemmy instance for several weeks, then it just went poof. It’s been down I think over a week....

Does Spotify have a way to see if your computer is recording with your DAC’s stereo mix? And if so, is there a way around it?

Realized that with my new job I’m at $500/month for gas. Starting to seriously consider a hybrid or electric but damn they expensive. Either way might just need something more reliable than my 320k+ car....

I’m refurbishing an old PC to work as a home server for several stuff. I’m looking for a lightweight distribution to install in it, but with a decent package repository. A small image size will be appreciated, as I have slow bandwidth too.

Since the lemmy.world admins here are refusing to clarify their own rules, selectively enforcing their vague rules, using communities for user counts before banning them and just being, well, spez-like, it’s time to find a new home....

What do you use to find images online these days? Google image search is useless, and I don’t think the other major ones are much better…...

Used to have a funny picture of my cat as my profile picture on Signal, but I removed it later on. Now, I don’t use one on my personal accounts.
