Thank you for your kind words, my friend. It is an honor to be welcomed to your home, this beautiful land. I hope tomorrow brings more unity and kindness, and I will do my best to do my part to make that happen.

Happy Canada Day! Thank you for this beautiful post, it made me tear up a bit. I've made Canada my adopted home 14 years ago, and not a day goes by when I don't thank my fucking stars.

Yeah, I think this plus the desktop app might be a huge deal

I don't think it's actually been rolled out to the app yet. When I load up the app, I see the old voice feature, not the new mode.

Quite fortunate! I hope I get lucky tonight.

Where and what time was this? I raced out to Cypress at 4am last night after a friend told me he saw it, but it was light out by the time I got there. I hope to catch a glimpse tonight 🀞

Added .webm support to the image viewer and image peek

This, along with the other image viewer fixes is a massive quality of life upgrade! πŸ™Œ

Nothing groundbreaking here, but it's good to confirm that studies continue to support the theory that mushrooms help with treatment-resistant mental health issues.

It was also good to read that double-blind studies have still not found any noticeable effects of microdosing, which was my experience as well. I believe the placebo effect is probably causing people to attribute benefits to it that it might not be responsible for.

The more we study psilocybin, marijuana, etc, the more we can progress past the decades of harm caused by prohibition.

I've done this every time I've looked for a job. If it's the kind of company that would snoop on my browsing history and cause issues, it would just have motivated me to look harder πŸ™ƒ

I'm speaking from my 20+ years of experience in tech, so this advice might not apply anywhere, but I've found the fastest way to keep increasing your salary is to switch jobs every couple of years. I usually got bored of a job in a couple of years anyway, so this also helped prevent burnout. Additionally, switching jobs at leisure like this meant I could negotiate new salaries harder at the new place and didn't need to try and change jobs during an economic downturn or a bad job market.

Oh, and I've always regretted staying on in a company too long once I get the itch so I'd recommend starting a hunt as soon as you think a change might be good instead of waiting till you start hating your job!

What a heartbreaking story :(

Would it be possible to have a quick settings button to hide (not just blur) all NSFW posts in the feed?

In normal browsing I like having the blurred NSFW images available in the feed, but whenever I'm in a public space, I'm always terrified I'll accidentally open one of the NSFW images. This is compounded by the fact that the last post at the end of a feed is extra-clickable because of the way feed loading works. If I'm scrolling down and the feed needs to load more, Sync will often count that interaction as a click on the last item in the feed.

Thanks!

 

When navigating posts in the feed, the URL is changed to each active post. This means that when the page is reloaded, Alexandrite goes to that page instead of the active feed. In the above screenshot, I was browsing all, but refreshing the page left me on the post that was active.

Perhaps a fix might be to append the active post to the URL? Something like:

https://alex.lemmy.ca/lemmy.ca/all#post/5936117

 

The linked post and discussion from the Photon dev re: the lemmy 0.19 release got me thinking about how Alexandrite will handle the migration since the release includes breaking changes.

@sheodox@lemmy.world thoughts?

 

I see an "Ultra preview" tag next to some posts, but I have no idea what this feature is. Does anybody know?

 

I want to filter out references to the website formerly known as Twitter, but I'm not sure how the content filter "X" will work.

I'm assuming an 'X' without spaces will also filter out Xylophone, but what about "X "? Will I need to add the double quotes? What about capitalization?

Shanks :)

 

Hey folks. I've been running a media and torrenting server off an Odroid HC2 running OpenMediaVault 6 on Armbian. It's been doing pretty great, and I have it set to run docker containers for qBittorrent, ProtonVPN, the *arrs, etc.

The problem I'm running into is that the HC2 has an arm32 CPU that is not supported by most apps, so I'm stuck running old images. I want to upgrade to a newer mini PC/SBC that is more future-friendly. I'd like it to be capable of running Plex streaming at 4K, Radarr/Sonarr/Prowlarr, etc. as well as other apps as docker containers. I might repurpose the HC2 to just run self-hosted NextDNS.

Here are my questions:

  1. What mini PCs or SBCs would you recommend? I'm leaning strongly towards a mini PC over an SBC because it would be more powerful, I don't need specialized software for it, recovery and backups are much easier, etc. I'm not too concerned about power usage unless it's extravagant.
  2. Which OS would you recommend as a media server?
  3. What is the simplest way to transfer my server over with minimal fuss? I use private trackers, so I'll have to very carefully stand up the new server and transfer over torrents, etc. in one fell swoop. I'm guessing I should just be able to install the apps and then transfer over the configurations and media files and change permissions, etc.
  4. Anything else I need to consider?

Thanks!
