PlanarAlly 2024.1 Release! (github.com)

For those that have never heard of it, PlanarAlly is an open-source self-hosted virtual tabletop (VTT) for TTRPG games. Here I’ve compiled the most important features/changes from their blog post. The full release notes are available on their GitHub: github.com/Kruptein/PlanarAlly/releases/…/2024.1...

sturlabragason,

Now this is fucking awesome! Trying this tonight!

What do you guys do when you want to run unmaintained programs? (lemmy.world)

I recently wanted to run tegaki, and my experience is pretty much summed up by the meme. I consider myself fairly tech-savvy, but I just couldn’t figure out how to compile it. So I just gave up, downloaded the .exe and put it into a fresh wine prefix. After installing CJK fonts, everything ran fine. Now I’m trying to get...

For a self-hosted RSS feed service, there are several options:

  1. Tiny Tiny RSS: It’s an open-source web-based news feed reader and aggregator for RSS and Atom feeds, praised for its Android client availability.
  2. FreshRSS: A free, self-hosted RSS and Atom feed aggregator that is known for being lightweight, powerful, and customizable. It also supports multi-user access, custom tags, has an API for mobile clients, supports WebSub for instant push notifications, and offers web scraping capabilities.
  3. Miniflux: A minimalist and opinionated feed reader that is straightforward and efficient for reading RSS feeds without unnecessary extras. It’s written in Go, making it simple, fast, lightweight, and easy to install.

Not self hosted but I did it this way:

I like to use GPT4 as a tutor.

It needs to be told to be factual and quote its sources, but man is it awesome to have it explain complex things in ways that I can easily grasp them.

This is not to be confused with GPT3.5 which is like a toy, while GPT4 is a tool.

Microsoft Copilot now has free GPT4 (I have not tested that version all that well): copilot.microsoft.com

sturlabragason,

I’d like to blame autocorrect but it was probably just me 😅 Fixed.

What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?

I’m still trying to de-Google my life, little by little. I don’t trust Bing for similar reasons. DDG is feeling shady of late. What’s the search engine you all recommend that I can inject into my daily life? Is there perhaps a search engine that is focused on code, or have we just all moved on to AI for searching?...

sturlabragason, (edited )

Duckduckgo and (downvotes incoming) brave search.

duckduckgo.com

search.brave.com

And I disagree with you, I don’t know a single browser where you can’t change the default search engine.

sturlabragason,

Is it me or does most of this look like Gnome? 🤔

sturlabragason,

Well I guess that explains it 😅

sturlabragason,

That’s my go to comment for most posts here 🥲

It seems the main takeaway from these discussions is that we are all fucked because a decent open source non evil independent browser doesn’t exist?

In the age where a browser is about the only thing you need.

Shit.

Somebody needs to pull a Linus Torvalds here.

sturlabragason,

Still has a Firefox upstream dependency? Or is it a completely independent fork?

sturlabragason,

Same.

What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

I am super sick right now and haven’t eaten much in a few days. It’s getting to the point where I am gonna need to force myself to eat something to keep my strength up but everything just sounds terrible to me right now. I have been subsisting mostly on small glasses of milk and the occasional packet of instant oatmeal....

sturlabragason,

Buttered toast with salt, grapes (possibly frozen), Gatorade.

Wanting to improve my Linux skills after 17 months of daily driving Linux

I’ve been daily driving Linux for 17 months now (currently on Linux Mint). I have got very comfortable with basic commands and many just works distros (such as Linux Mint, or Pop!_OS) with apt as the package manager. I’ve tried Debian as a distro to try to challenge myself, but have always ran into issues. On my PC, I could...

I’ve found that using GitHub Copilot CLI is a neat way go improve my CLI skills.

I ask and it explains commands to me.

I’m expecting downvotes here but this is one of the reasons I started using Brave. One of the few things I could get to block YouTube ads on a non-jailbroken iPhone.

sturlabragason,

Well I feel that any cryptobro stuff was entirely optional and that Brave is dedicated to their users privacy.

brave.com/faq/

However I still feel Firefox is the right choice, it’s just not a one that I’ve been able to fully commit to yet.

sturlabragason, (edited )

Didn’t know, thanks.

I’m happy to hear more reasons to move away from Brave if anyone’s got them 🙂

sturlabragason,

Will do 👍

Proton Mail CEO Calls New Address Verification Feature 'Blockchain in a Very Pure Form' (tech.slashdot.org)

Proton Mail, the leading privacy-focused email service, is making its first foray into blockchain technology with Key Transparency, which will allow users to verify email addresses. From a report: In an interview with Fortune, CEO and founder Andy Yen made clear that although the new feature uses blockchain, the key technology...

sturlabragason,

Yeah my most downvoted comments mention Blockchain 🤣 Capitalism turns everything to shit 💩
