baseless_discourse,

Nah man, that is just the Arago spot.

It is also much easier to install and update, since it don’t require restarting the computer, and also works on all distro.

I think this is pretty much how GPL works. (maybe except the stealing part, but both stealing from corporate and FOSS are good.

baseless_discourse,

Then I should be able to self-host these softwares.

baseless_discourse, (edited )

Likely no, and fortunately the developer has legal insurance and plan to fight the case if it happens.

So this repo is not going down any time soon.

baseless_discourse,

Do Taiwanese actually use a spoon to scoop the duck blood instead of a strainer spoon?

baseless_discourse, (edited )

Uh that makes sense. I guess my original comment is more out of jealousy: I have so many movies that I want to watch, but I have never find the time and energy to do so. After work, dinner, chat, duolingo, and lunch prep for my wife, I barely find any time during my night, and it is kind of frustrating for me.

Last year, I have only finished like less than 5 from like 50 titles.

I am glad people are enjoying their hobby. I personally would not be on Netflix anymore as most of the movie I want to watch is not on there, but I can now kind of see it might be worth it for others.

It also surprises me that this large amount of the population takes movie and TV as a hobby.

baseless_discourse,

Why can’t people live without Netflix? Don’t they have a job, a family, OR a hobby?

I am honestly confused…

baseless_discourse, (edited )

Not “job”, these are “volunteering contributions”, that are not only time consuming, mentally consuming, and unpaid as well.

baseless_discourse,

I see some people use catbox.moe , but I dont know a lot about them.

baseless_discourse,

Let us know when it is setup. I would appreciate some shitty map in my day.

baseless_discourse,

After Reddit, Xitter, and Duolingo, I start to feel like hosting our work on a proprietary and profit-driven service is not a great idea.

Finally, the rail system U.S. deserves, old, loud, slow, never on time, and is under maintenance EVERY! F**KING! WEEKEND!

baseless_discourse, (edited )

They are telling everyone that they have a tiny penis by humming their engine really loud at night.

The one sleeping is not the one diagnosed: The car shares the same color with the diagnosed person, thus belongs to the diagnosed person.

In their gnome version, during the setup process (first boot, not install), they would prompt for third-party repo and codec (Enabled by default, IIRC).

I think you might have unchecked that? or KDE not offering such experience?

EDIT: NVM, I just checked, and I have never installed the codecs… LOL.

Fedora is notorious for avoiding shipping proprietary software with their distro even at the cost of new users.

I think this might stems from the fact that fedora used to be a distro aimed for advanced users. It is slowly getting better at being new user friendly.

baseless_discourse,

Yeah, I was wondering why I have desync issues couple days ago watching videos with my wife.

Modern YouTube videos are generally fine, but many other site has poor support for popular codecs.

I also started with LTS assuming they would be more usable, but the extremely outdated package have later driven me away from linux for a while.

Now I realize I can just run normal Ubuntu to get reasonably up-to-date packages. But I like the latest (non-graphical) software that is offered by fedora.

baseless_discourse,

I thought it was something NSFW lol…

EDIT: sorry, I read it wrong, I thought the reply says the addon “doesn’t” use the remote API.

I digged a bit on the code, and every command indeed go through the cloud. So even if you use this addon, Haire can still collect a fair bit of data about you, since there is no way to communicate locally and directly to the AC.

But the addon only sends the minimum amount of data to achieve functionality, so definitely not as much data as using Haire’s app.

Can you link to where the documentation that specify they don’t use API?

Because I am looking at pyhOn (dependency of hon, and also being taken down), it seems like when executing a command, they do contact the cloud. Specefically


<span style="color:#323232;">url: str = f"{const.API_URL}/commands/v1/send"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    async with self._hon.post(url, json=data) as response:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        ...
</span>

github.com/Andre0512/pyhOn/blob/…/api.py#L215 . The call to API is later used to send command:


<span style="color:#323232;">result = await self.api.send_command(
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                self._appliance,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                self._name,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                params,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                ancillary_params,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                self._category_name,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">            )
</span>

github.com/Andre0512/pyhOn/blob/…/commands.py#L14…

And the API_URL indeed points to a remote API:


<span style="color:#323232;">API_URL = "https://api-iot.he.services"
</span>

nice tits bro

FLAC! Long live songs you can actually own! Long live open source audio format!

bandcamp is pretty great. Granted, they are still a for-profit company; a popular community based solution would be nice. But they do let you download lossless file to self-host or just listen on device.

The only complain is the lack of classical music (not modern/contemporary classical) on there. But I would imagine most classical music is public domain by now. I just don’t know where to find them…

Edit: found it: www.classiccat.net or internet archive has a huge collection of classical music.

Subscription based service makes data harvesting much easier. Spotify can force you to connect to their server even if you downloaded your song, in the name of “verifying your subscription”.

Buy the songs, buy the movie, take them offline.

That being said there are good subscription based service, like home assistant cloud, where all your communications are always E2E encrypted and cannot be seen by their server. Their subscription model is justified, as they rent their servers.

I think most of these are from undergrad and master. AFAIK most PhD are fully funded. Not enough to pay any debt, but usually enough to not starve.
