New FreeTube fork with Save video playback speed setting for each channel separately in c/foss@beehaw.org
[–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Is there a fork that has Sponsorblock submissions available?

That's my biggest downside with FreeTube, the dev is anti-sponsorblock, he just added basic sponsorblock reading because it was too obvious everyone wanted it.

Unless the digital Euro or GNU Taler really become the norm... You are totally stuck with multibillion corps controlling every single digital cent of yours.

How do I poison my data (read body) in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

The data has already been scrapped, processed, categorized and indexed. This is quite literally true.

Do not worry about it, and simply try to not give them much from now on.

Also filling the internet with junk is how our best ever collective project dies. Don't be a part of that.

How is FIFA going to kick the host of the World Cup? After literally creating a Peace Prize specifically to give it to Trump?

World's Cup is going to be a shitshow.

Trying to build a Thread network today is a waste of money, sadly. There's not enough competition there and prices are much worse than Zigbee,

Nope, OP wants a bulb with temperature and brightness controls. A smart switch won't do it.

You'll really thank yourself if you leave the Apple ecosystem ASAP. You'll very quickly realise you've been virtually jailed and manipulated into spending too much for incredibly restricted technology.

Anyone with Nextcloud Memories setup? I've read it's the only one that still respects a sane files and folders setup, whereas the other options basically force you to forever use their database-based system and files are terribly organized, so you are forced to use their interface.

Thank Mozilla for Killing Localization on Support Mozilla (And Replacing Human Contributions With AI Bots) in c/foss@beehaw.org
[–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I must say something: 99 % of my usage of an AI chatbot is for translating a document so I can publish it in multilang.

LLMs are REALLY GOOD at that specific job. It saves soooo much time.

Sometimes, there are mistakes (not far from human error tho), so I am assuming Mozilla will still allow for human review and correction... Right?

Woah, I had to do that weird textfile trick on every single computer I installed for all my family members for years until the first Debian KDE with Wayland session (was it 12?)

If I use Caddy for reverse-proxying into another local machine... is my local connection not HTTPS? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Mind that I am very noob into self-hosting, reverse proxies and the like

When I saw that Caddy automatically handled the HTTPS thingies I was like "this is my moment then to go into self-hosting". Caddy seemed so simple.

Turns out... I am suddenly discovering that the connection between the caddy machine and the Home Assistant machine (both in the local network) is non-encrypted. So if another appliance in my local network went rogue... bum, all my info gets leaked... right?

This might sound weird because it might actually be super-duper complicated but... how come in 2025 we still don't auto-encrypt local comms?

Please be kind. Lot's of love. Hopefully I'll dig my way to self-hosting wisdom.

Is there a way I can make my XMPP (Conversations) messages synced to my desktop? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

The other day I switched Linux distros, wiped disk, and somehow realised that OMEMO is a weird freaky thing and now I cannot see any message from my computer, even though I have everything visible on my Conversations Android app.

I don't want to get angry again, but... yeah, this is terrible, terrible UX. Seems like OMEMO somehow encrypts for each device differently, and now all messages are "locked". Which is weird, because messages are still there, just "locked".

Can I somehow import a backup from my Android app? Is there anything that can be done? My guess is that, probably not, otherwise I would have gotten a popup or something in the login process, "would you like to sync your messages?", but nothing happened.

XMPP supremacists, please! Give me a solution! I was organizing important projects with multiple people. Getting locked out of all that information is terrible.

Otherwise, then I really feel I can see XMPP disappearing now... and for a very good reason.

I am really considering moving from Arch to Fedora. What's your experience with this? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Is the loss of pacman and AUR that bad?

What things are to be gained? I expect that SELinux and Redhat backing should really make fedora way more secure.

Is there something like Torrentio without Stremio? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I have a feeling it must exist. Some kind of search-engine that's got all the major trackers right there for you.

Could someone publish a torrent under I2P to avoid being identified? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

That's basically it.

Are you excited about the new voice product? Any leaks? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

It could be the thing that makes Home Assistant suddenly interesting for many ""normies"".

What's the command to keep screen awake (prevent lockscreen)? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I know how to do it in the battery section through the GUI, but I'd like to set it up through a command, for automation purposes, and particularly for KDE Connect commands.

What's up with Overture Maps? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

When I read about Overture Maps like a year or 2 ago, it seemed to me that basically they were going to create a whole new thing from scratch.

Let's be honest, with enough resources, it's easy to see that they could pull off some kind of OpenStreetMap 2.0, where all the issues from OSM are modernised and cleaned up.

What's really going on? Are we getting something soon from these people? What's the relationship with them?

On their website, they say "coming this fall". Are you excited? Scared? What should I think?

Any AI tool to analyse a git repo for malicious code? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm trying to feel more comfortable using random GitHub projects, basically.

I am talking about this kind of livestream.

It looks nice, with all the different layouts and so on.
