The lack of a PS5 app makes Jellyfin useless to me. We have a dumb TV with no casting ability so the PlayStation is our media box.

I've been running into this a lot with Proton, too.

Voters that chose to stay home are functionally the same as Trump supporters. They chose this.

Here's my (admittedly hotheaded) Canadian perspective.

Germans, as a baseline, don't dominate online culture. Everywhere I look on the internet, I'm reading about Americans. It never stops. I have to constantly filter through American politics, drama, and celebrity news. It feels like we are finally moving away from American-centricity and having discussions about how living at the whims of this superpower is negatively affecting us.

Americans butt in on this and give their takes on it and man... I just don't care. Their country collectively chose this. My career and ability to provide for my family is seriously at risk because 90 MILLION of them couldn't be bothered to vote.

For this one, single discussion, just this one time, please, butt out.

  1. People in many countries are boycotting US products as a response to their new tariffs.

What about Android? I don't see dark mode in options.

Less than half, that actually surprises me. I honestly assume most people I meet online are Yanks.

More snow than I've seen all winter in western Canada.

Can you elaborate on the uselessness of a VPN?

What is a scrum master? Like a rugby coach?

I feel like I'm missing out by not distro-hopping (lemmy.ca)
 

I've been dailying the same Mint install since I gave up on Windows a few years ago. When I was choosing a distro, a lot of people were saying that I should start with Mint and "move on to something else" once I got comfortable with the OS.

I'm comfortable now, but I don't really see any reason to move on. What would the benefits be of jumping to something else? Mint has great documentation and an active community that has answers to any questions I've ever had, and I'm reluctant to ditch that. On the other hand, when I scroll through forums, Distro Hopping seems to be such a big part of the "Linux experience."

What am I missing?

Looking for a simple video editor (lemmy.ca)
 

All I need is something to trim time off the ends of a video and knock it from 1080p down to 720p.

How do people sleep on planes? (lemmy.ca)
 

I can fall asleep almost anywhere. I routinely fall asleep in the break room at work. Once, I was helping a friend fix his car, and I fell asleep on his garage floor when he went inside to get water.

But in a hot metal tube tearing through the sky, with my neck all kinked? Get out of here, man.

Matrix: Unexpected error resolving homeserver configuration. (lemmy.ca)
 

I followed this guide to set up a Matrix server on my Pi. The only hiccup I ran into during setup was under "Setting up Synapse server," step 11, the "Registration" section wasn't present in homeserver.yaml. This server is meant to just run bridges to WhatsApp/Facebook/etc. so I wasn't too worried, and forged ahead.

I'm getting the title error when trying to connect via Element. Federation Tester gives the following error:

Get "https://[my ipv6 address]:8448/_matrix/key/v2/server": dial tcp [my ipv6 address]:8448: i/o timeout (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

Any help would be very much appreciated.
