MigratingtoLemmy,

I had a question: in the $12/year plan from Racknerd, is the deal tied to a specific instance which you can spin up for that much money? Or can I just shut it down and switch it on the next day without extra charges?

I’m trying to find an API to use with Racknerd (SolusVM, but their documentation is a bit confusing for me) to be able to pull up VMs on demand. I basically want a new IP for my VM everyday, however requesting a new IP from Racknerd incurs fees, or so I have heard.

MigratingtoLemmy,

I see. Thanks.

MigratingtoLemmy,

Which means that if you shut it down, the plan is nullified?

MigratingtoLemmy,

I’m very new to the Wayland vs Xorg: could someone tell me why having a compositor work as a compositor, server and client (window manager) is a good idea? Doesn’t this limit customisation? If someone wants to create a window manager, they’re going to have to implement a lot more software than just their product. I thought abstracted software with stable interfaces was king in software, other than having performance issues (I believe Wayland solves some of these problems).

So, if I’m on IceWM/Ratpoison and want to switch, do I manually convert my config, or do I have equivalent WMs in Wayland?

MigratingtoLemmy,

Thanks, had a look. Seems fantastic, I’ll keep this in mind!

MigratingtoLemmy,

TBH I haven’t used helix extensively, but I do like that I can just expect things like auto-complete and linting to work, which I would usually expect from something like vscodium, but that’s not cli. So yes, helix is nice. I’m just a bit afraid that I’ll forget my vim bindings because helix does things a little differently: wd instead of dw

MigratingtoLemmy,

I’d probably use helix/codium with vim bindings for more complex projects, with vim for Scripting in python/shell/config files

Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it

Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....

MigratingtoLemmy,

I wish there was an add-on that could fake a view for the sponsored segment for the creator but skip it for the user. I.e. every time the user skips a sponsored segment, the extension adds a view for the sponsored segment for the creator, so they get paid whilst we skip their segment.

MigratingtoLemmy,

I would have liked more technicalities, but wonderful write-up. Thanks

MigratingtoLemmy,

Agreed. Was just looking at Podman’s documentation the other day, and even though it’ll run on distributions without systemd, for a second I thought cgroups might not even work without systemd. Glad that’s not the case though, but I’m predicting a few problems down the road simply because I plan to use Alpine.

MigratingtoLemmy,

Wtf, I didn’t know that Libreboot wasn’t fully libre any more. I agree with the FSF’s ideology here. The only reason to run Libreboot over Coreboot was 100% FOSS, and if that’s not the case, then there is no point to it anymore.

Thanks for mentioning the other projects, I’ll take a look

MigratingtoLemmy,

Extremely. When things like your DE starts being dependent on systemd, you don’t want to replace it.

I had posted about the monopoly that systemd has, and was down voted to oblivion.

MigratingtoLemmy,

Exactly. Other systems are clearly doing one thing: init. Systemd wants to do everything

I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe

I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don’t know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is...

MigratingtoLemmy,

I use YouTube to watch clips of films I might like, and pirate them.

I use YouTube Music to discover music, and pirate them too.

I don’t subscribe to services. Why should I?

Z-Library Blog: "Unprecedented seizure of our domains with books on rare languages" (z-library.se)

Today we are forced to share some sad news - yesterday many of our domains were seized again. We should highlight that the majority of the seized domains were not mirrors of the Z-Library website. Instead, they were separate sub-projects, containing only books in rare languages of the world, and their blocking is perplexing. For...

MigratingtoLemmy,

Could you explain your complaints with blockchains and web3? Genuinely curious

MigratingtoLemmy,

8 20TB drives in a Z2 array

MigratingtoLemmy,

Europeans are so lucky lol.

It is true, I haven’t found anything akin to sandboxes in any other ROM. However, if you contain your apps inside a workspace, that seems fairly sandboxed to me, for the most part. It is unfortunate that Google’s mobiles are not as repairable.

Let us know what you end up buying. I wonder if sandboxing can be implemented in other ROMs through some modifications in the Kernel (it’s Linux after all).

Cheers

Wait a second, how did you realise that OP adheres to Unix philosophy?

MigratingtoLemmy,

Hey OP, any reason you’re not using Pipewire?

MigratingtoLemmy,

Detach/Desolder the WiFi card from the back of the TV. Connect a device to it and install Kodi.

MigratingtoLemmy,

It can connect to any open WiFi in that case. I don’t take such risks.

MigratingtoLemmy,

What is “setting”?
