jlow,

Is Libredirect working good for you? Every few month I turn it on for a couple of services (YT, Wikipedia, Reddit, Github, Twitchan) and turn it off after a few days because I can’t be bothered trying to find instances that work, it’s just a constant pain for me.

jlow,

Yeah, fair enough.

jlow,

No because freedom and innovation have nothing to do with capitalism? If anything the opposite?

jlow,

I’ve been using Gnome for a long time, then Dash to Dock broke, switched to Plasma, not looking back ^__^

jlow,

Thanks for the writeup, that’s far more advanced than what I need to do in my work sometimes ^__^ But cool that it looks like there are options on Linux.

jlow,

Doesn’t the Linux version of Resolve only read/import (or export? I can’t remember) .mov or something that makes it more or less unusable? Has that changed?

jlow,

If it’s not Adobe your pirating but a small firm consider buying their stuff if you can afford it. Yes, I know this is the piracy forum but just like with indie games I think if you have the money and get value out of it then it’s cool to support actually people, that need to eat. Global Evilcorps surely not, but people are supporting you via Patreon so why not give some of that money to the people who develop the tools that help you make that money …

jlow,

Username checks out.

jlow,

I’d also encourage you to look into FOSS alternatives but I have a friend who’s a graphic designer and he’s been pirating the crap out of Adobe since he began his studies in the early 2000s. He says neither he nor any of his collagues (all freelancers) ever had a problem with pirated software. It’s literally unheard of. And if you think about it, how is Adobe gonna find out if you block their phoning home with a firewall? Printers don’t give a damn (and couldn’t tell), neither can clients or random people on the internet. No one is ever going to be “Nice work but can you quickly somehow proof to me that you actually have the ridiculously overpriced subscription for that barely functioning design suite eveyone uses because there’s no alternative (except for Affinity maybe)?”

jlow,

This one is completely about the people who pretend to “care about the children” but coincidentally also sell the software that does the proposed CSAM scanning. It’s a money making-scheme for them. Shit like this makes me lose the last bit of hope I have for democracy (really hard to not put this into quotes by this point … +__+).

jlow,

Learning from the “friends” on the other site of the atlantic!

jlow,

opentogethertube.com

Can’t do .mkv unfortunately which is what almost everyone uses on the high seas but if it’s .mp4 or YT you’re golden.

jlow,

Would love for this to work with Jellyfin but for me it just poplates the channels section, where it takes me to another page before I can actually watch something and it takes about 10 seconds to load a channel. Not really the analogue TV experience I had hoped to recreate ^__^

How to begin setting up a media center?

I have 16TB NAS dedicated to storing TV shows. It is just a cabinet with ryzen 2600 and no graphics card. I have installed openmediavault in it to access it via smb to other devices. I am an absolute noob in setting up a server. Please tell me how I should go on about turning it into a media consumption machine....

jlow,

For sailing the high seas/acquiring more Linux ISOs, get a torrent-client, qbitorent is probably the most popular (and depending on where you are a vpn-subscription), then set it up with the arrs:

wiki.servarr.com

jlow,

Because it makes more sense to have software do one thing good and not many things bad. There are many examples of this, iTunes is a classic but also Jellyfin, I like that they’re focussing on video because that is very complex in itself. To also do comics, podcasts, audiobooks, comics, books etc. meana much more complexity, things that can influence and trip each other, diversion of work etc. Yes, would be very cool to have one app that can play everything perfectly but that’s almost impossible. To do one thing good isn’t.

jlow,

Just as a tiny nitpick: PDFs can be just a collection of images. If there’s text I would hope that they’re embedded as text or vectors, which is what would usually happen if you export a document from a program (that isn’t completely bs). So texts / vector graphics etc should not be images usually (unless you scan a document as a PDF - which I hate with a passion but can see that people prefer a single PDF over a collection of image files). Even then you could OCR the imges / PDF to make it searchable etc. Anyway in this case it seems to be a collection of images indeed ^__^

jlow,

Obviously use at your own risk but maybe ntfsfix can help:

man.archlinux.org/man/ntfsfix.8.en

jlow,

Yeah, true. But maybe the perfect time to try the new translation feature in Firefox? ^__^

jlow,

I would really like to know of my feeling that these should be even fuller of microplastics than other food os right or wrong …

jlow,

Boomer incoming but was it ever cool?

jlow,

Extra points for the front to back basecap for instant doucheface recognition 👌

jlow,

Or Fitotrack, which has an even nicer dashboard (with horrible colors, unfortunately) to screenshot and send to friends to brag (not that I’d ever do that ^__^)
