Getting around magazine paywalls
Do you folks have any tips on how to get around magazine and newspaper paywalls? It seems like the old tricks are becoming less reliable and it’s frustrating - especially given paywalls seem to be becoming more stringent at the same time.
How to selfhost a llm?
I’m trying to figure out how to host one myself. I’m trying to use barvarder and localai. But I am failing due to not enough knowledge and missing instructions. Any advice? did someone succeed with anything? I’d be happy to make other smaller steps at first as well. As long as I get somewhere.
What's a proper response to another dog attempting to mount your dog multiple times and the owner really not doing anything about it?
The owner kind of makes a weak attempt to seem like they’re trying, but if I weren’t there, they wouldn’t intervene at all. I’m asking because I want to make sure that I don’t over react next time.

What do you think about paid search engines like Neeva or Kagi?
Is there any way to flag OC lemmy/fediverse posts? Maybe an optional checkbox "OC lemmy/fediverse content" or something that marks the post with an OC badge or something similar?
I have the impression that the lion’s share of all posts on Lemmy are reposts or screenshots from other platforms. I don’t mean links to other sites of course, after all Lemmy is a Reddit clone and thus a link aggregator. I just think that Lemmy can’t survive if there is no way to make people aware that a particular post...
What's the difference between package manager and why are there so many?
Are they so different that it’s justified to have so many different distributions? So far I guess that different package manager are the reason that divides the linux community. One may be on KDE and one on GNOME but they can use each other’s packages but usually you are bound to one manager

Need Some Total Noob Advice for Installing and Running Linux
Alright, peeps, I want to build Linux on my new PC and need some help with that. On my old PC, I had kubuntu installed, which I liked (at least until downloading Skype fried most of my installers and rebuffed all attempts at deinstallation). When installing kubuntu, I had a lot of help (and by a lot, I mean my friend did like...
Whisparr is so much better with Postgres for its data back end
I have a library of videos that I’ve downloaded with whisparr running in a docker container. I’ve had a problem with the sqlite DB getting corrupted on a daily basis. I followed the guide on switching to postgres and it only took about 15 minutes, including setting up a postgres server. I really recommend anyone running it...

Thanks to dust I deleted a 70 gig file on my drive
Dust is a rewrite of du (in rust obviously) that visualizes your directory tree and what percentage each file takes up. But it only prints as many files fit in your terminal height, so you see only the largest files. It’s been a better experience that du, which isn’t always easy to navigate to find big files (or atleast...

The Klingon Augment Virus is the real reason for the ban on genetic engineering (includes spoilers from SNW 2.2)
It’s never made much sense that the entire multi-species Federation would be subject to a strict ban on genetic engineering due to events on Earth that happened centuries before the Federation was even founded. The way they doubled down on that rationale in Una’s trial only highlighted the absurdity – especially when...
