hperrin,

Nothing. I’ve been using SSH. I’d like to have both options, SSH and a web UI.

hperrin,

Thanks. I did check it out and it looks like it’s got some really cool benefits, like being able to cluster across two machines and take one down if it needs servicing, with zero down time.

I’m thinking about buying some rack mount servers and bringing everything I’m currently doing in the cloud for my business to on-premises servers. The one thing I was wary about was how I was going to handle hardware maintenance, and this looks like it would solve that issue nicely.

hperrin,

What’s wrong with the divorce rate increasing? Like, no joke, is that not a good thing? More people getting out of bad relationships seems like a better outcome.

hperrin,

I use a remote called the “Pepper Jobs W10 Gyro” and I love it. All the keys are set up for Windows (🤢) shortcuts, but other than that it’s awesome. It would be great for Kodi.

hperrin, (edited )

The video codecs are in rpmfusion, which is available as a checkbox called “Third Party Repositories” in the setup wizard.

Amazon clearly lying about "ownership" on Prime. (lemmy.world)

You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?

hperrin,

It may have been, but I wouldn’t know. I’m never going back on that platform again. They stole a couple hundred dollars worth of games from me.

hperrin,

You can use a WebDAV server to sync your notes in Joplin, and if your WebDAV server has a web interface, you can view your notes in a browser.

May I suggest Nephele as a good WebDAV server you can use.

Available for Docker as well.

hperrin,

Both Gnome and KDE have great built in WebDAV clients in their file managers. :) I use Nautilus’ WebDAV client all the time.

hperrin,

The last release came out 7 years ago…

How Many Streaming Services Do You Have?

I remember when it was just Hulu for $5 and Netflix for $8. Saved $50 a month from cable. Now it seems we spend more. I have four. Max, Peacock, Paramount and Hulu. Prime doesn’t count because it sucks balls. (Only paying Netflix when next Stranger Things and Squid Game is released). Curious to see what the average...

hperrin,

I love it. It’s my go to if I’m bored sitting on the couch. They’ve got a lot of great shows like Game Changer, Make Some Noise, and this new one called Very Important People. If you’re into D&D, there’s Dimension 20. I’m not a big fan of it, but it’s one of, if not the, most popular shows on there.

hperrin,

I actually offer consulting services for this library in particular, so yes, if you pay, you get paid support.

hperrin,

It would mean that the owner could take that code and make it closed source. They could do literally anything they wanted with it, because they would own the copyright.

hperrin,

The spell checker uses a local dictionary. There are other things that it phones home for. IIRC, voice to text is one of them.

hperrin,

Is it possible to have Prime, but without Prime Video? I don’t give one iota of a fuck about their shit ass streaming service.

hperrin,

Smooth Criminal

hperrin,

There’s a setting to make it look like an Android app. It’s got a couple quirks, but it’s good enough.

hperrin,

Eggs were first developed by German scientists during WWI.

hperrin,

If you’re looking for an alternative to Gmail, may I suggest Port87, which will also organize your email automatically. I created it because of how terrible my experience with Gmail was.

hperrin,

Microtransactions.

hperrin,

I’m not sure what you mean. PC games usually run on your PC, unless you’re streaming. It’s the multiplayer server software that run on servers. And the servers are paid for by the company that makes the game, usually. Or the publisher. The actual server hardware is rented from cloud providers, if that’s what you mean. Servers aren’t free, that’s my point. If you want multiplayer online functionality, someone has to pay for the server. And ultimately that cost gets passed on to you, the end user.

hperrin,

Most companies aren’t in the business of giving away free services, and it’s wild to expect them to be. You wouldn’t expect a landscaping business to do all your landscaping for free after you pay for the first time.

hperrin,

Most apps would do fine without a website. Most everyone has a phone, but a fair number of people don’t have a desktop or laptop. And pretty much everyone who has a desktop or laptop also has a phone.

A number of currently popular apps don’t have a website, let alone a mobile friendly website.

hperrin,

You’re talking about Cordova. Cordova can actually be pretty good, if it’s made well (for example, the Voyager Lemmy app is a Cordova app), but no, I make apps with native UIs.

hperrin,

A webapp sometimes works fine for phone users. There are things that websites can’t do on mobile. For example, on iOS, only the latest OS version has support for push notifications from PWAs, and even then, they can’t make noise or vibrations. They are always delivered silently. PWAs are also always rendered with WebKit on iOS. WebKit doesn’t support a number of features.

Yes, a mobile app doesn’t help desktop users, but there are waaaaaaaay more mobile users than desktop users.

hperrin,

Yes, that’s why I said most instead of all. And to be clear, I’m not a fan of apps without websites, that’s just how things are.
