Chewy7324, (edited ) to piracy in Tachiyomi replacement is out

If anyone’s wondering why Mihon looks slightly different than Tachiyomi, the reason is this is a fork of TachiyomiSY, which has some changes/features over Tachiyomi (e.g. a predicted next chapter release date).

What I wrote is all wrong. I’ve just looked through the commit history and Mihon is a fork of Tachiyomi and currently it doesn’t have any changes besides branding and being Android 8+.

I don’t know why I believed otherwise, but it might be F-Droids 3 months old Tachiyomi build, which lacked many features compared to up-to-date TachiyomiSY.

Chewy7324, to piracy in Youtube slowing down due to addblock

ff2mpv adds a button in the addon bar and in the context menu to open a video in mpv. It’s awesome and removes the manual copy and pasting of the url.

Chewy7324, to piracy in Youtube slowing down due to addblock

Sadly it works for YouTube. Yesterday I noticed a friend disabled uBlock Origin on YouTube. They don’t care that there’s workarounds, they’d rather watch 2 min ads than read up about something they are not interested in.

Chewy7324, to piracy in DHS/HSI Assist Korea to Arrest Operator of "World's Largest Manga & Webtoon"

Whether the site’s operator made $35 million from advertising remains a question, […]

I’m really curious, where this much money would come from. Advertising on these sites isn’t as lucrative and I won’t believe that they made on average 0.5$ from each visitor. Don’t people use ad blocking?

Hopefully their personal information won’t be found out by those lawyers, or they could also be threatened into stopping development. It’s sad to see how companies are bullying volunteers into stopping legal projects.

Edit: SLAPP suits are similar to this, where companies file lawsuits while knowing they’d lose, if the defendent had the time, money and stress tolerance to win the lawsuit. …wikipedia.org/…/Strategic_lawsuit_against_public…

Chewy7324, (edited ) to opensource in It's joever. Tachiyomi will no longer be actively developed.

It’s sad to see companies threatening completely legal projects, knowing that the volunteering developers don’t have the time and money to win a lawsuit against a large company with lawyers. It’s nothing less than bullying volunteers, or similar to SLAPP suits.

Edit: typo

Chewy7324, (edited ) to linux in How to use the Linux kernel's live patching feature

Not rebooting for a long time makes me nervous once I actually reboot, as I might’ve changed something but didn’t make it persistent. Luckily I’ve become much better with documenting chabges after switching to NixOS.

Chewy7324, to linux in AMD P-State Preferred Core Support For Linux Tried A 13th Time

Did you do benchmarks? It probably doesn’t help much for heavily multi threaded apps, as they should use all cores anyway. And most apps aren’t performance critical, altough it might stabilize fps in games.

Chewy7324, to linuxmemes in Hey, have you ever heard of Pop!_OS?

Well, did you know I’m vegetarian and used to run Arch? If you could show me your fridge and computer, please, I’ll fix them for you!

Chewy7324, to linuxmemes in I don't...

There’s an increasing amount of wayland compositors, so I don’t think diversity goes away.

Additionally, hyprland supports plugins which can do most things an X.org window manager could do. E.g. there’s a plugin to support river’s window layout protocol, which allows for creating custom window layout generator.

Diversity doesn’t just vanish, it’s replaced by new possibilities, created by solid protocol specifications with multiple implementations.

Similarily, nixpkgs and other repos continue to grow, just like flathub does too. These projects aren’t killing diversity, they’re enabling it.

Chewy7324, to linux in COSMIC: The Road to Alpha

[cosmic-randr] uses the wlr output configuration Wayland protocols.

Does this mean cosmic-randr should work on other compositors that support the wlr output configuration protocol (e.g. sway, hyprland, river, …)? It’s great to see cosmic adopting existing protocols, instead of compositor specific protocols (or worse, no external app support at all).

Also, it’s great how portable Cosmic DE seems to be, as it’s already mostly packaged on NixOS. On first look, cosmic-term seems to be a quick terminal so I might switch to it, as well as cosmic-files.

Chewy7324, to linux in Docker team is considering distributing Docker Desktop as a Flatpak and Snap

At first I read only docker without the context of the Docker Desktop client.

Making docker a one-click installation on all distros is great, altough I wouldn’t use it myself.

If they actually make a flatpak I wonder whether they’ll only support rootless docker or if it’ll ask for elevated permissions through polkit.

Chewy7324, to linux in What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?

My reason against using Guix is software availability. NixOS repos are just larger, and I like that on NixOS unfree software can be enabled with a single line.

Chewy7324, to piracy in What qbittorent + vpn docker image do you use?

I’m not familiar with docker on Windows, but I believe it runs through a (well integrated) VM. Do you run it 24/7 on your desktop pc? If yes, do you notice a performance impact while e.g. gaming?

It’s surprising to me how docker managed to be the ultimate way to run services across all major OSs while only running on Linux specifically.

Chewy7324, to linux in Distro for POS

Maybe a kiosk compositor which displays only a single app works well for this use case.
