I wanted to watch Game of Thrones, but I couldn't, because there was no legal streaming service available back then. (This was in 2015 or something).

That's when I discovered the Pirate Bay and its wonders..

Lmao, why do you even need to verify your humanity?

JVT038 , 15 days ago

Hmmm.. Maybe it's to prevent scripts from downloading / ripping content off their platform? That's the only theory I can come up with. Although if it's true, they don't do a very good job at it, considering I've seen plenty of WebDL-1080p Netflix exclusive content on torrenting platforms.

Does this eBook downloading thing affect the rest of the Archive? Like, will the entire archive be affected or just the OpenLibrary part of the Archive?

JVT038 , 19 days ago

Yeah, I mean, I:

• Eat at least three times per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner)
• Exercise three times per week (in the gym, lifting weights)
• Sleep at least 7 or 8 hours per night
• Go outside every day
• Have a skincare routine (although it's not much)
• Brush my teeth twice per day (after breakfast and before going to sleep)

I'm on PC and I haven't noticed anything changed. Literally. I don't notice any bugs nor have I noticed a sudden improvement of my graphics. It seems to me that the 15gb that Steam downloaded, was just full of 0's and don't do anything.

Edit: Nevermind, apparently the new quests and items are part of the update, so in that case I have definitely noticed something lol.

Tip: if you have an Android TV, you can install SmartTube as an alternative, privacy-friendly YouTube client. It has no ads and sponsorblock integration

Honestly, I’m not really excited about the past couple of major Nextcloud releases.

Mainly because there’s still one big issue for small-scale Nextcloud servers: performance.

Mainly the web UI is still too slow for me to properly use, which is why I don’t use it at all (unless I have to update an app).

It’s a bit disappointing that they’re mainly focused on the large enterprise customers instead of small hobbyists like me, but it’s still understandable; after all, their income is mainly from the enterprise customers, not from selfhosters.

I also don’t really like how they’ve jumped on the AI hypetrain instead of improving performance. But once again, I guess this generates more income for them than focusing on other things like improving performance.

I use it to manage my documents, backup my photos from my phone to my server and access all my files from any other device. Basically Nextcloud is my replacement for OneDrive.

Additionally, I have used it in the past to collaborate on various group projects which require documents. For example, I had to make a presentation with some other people and I could create a PowerPoint in Nextcloud, send a share link to others and then we could edit the PowerPoint in realtime with Nextcloud + Collabora, which is pretty cool. It’s the only FOSS alternative (at least as far as I’m aware of) that can compete with Microsoft 365 / Google Workspaces.

Regrowing / regenerating certain body parts.

This could theoretically be done with stemcell stuff, but it’s not there yet. However, when we finally reach the point where we can infinitely regenerate our body cells, we’ll become effectively “ammortal”; unable to die due to natural causes (such as illness), but we will still die from other people (for example, a bullet to the head)

Besides that, I think nuclear fusion would be an incredible development if we can finally harness it to power our homes.

I don’t think, I just do.

I usually keep an end goal in sight; for example, I sometimes dread going to the gym, but I always remember that my goal is to stay fit, have a healthy body and exercising is an important part of that. By sticking to my goal, I maintain my discipline and go to the gym 3 times per week.

Another example is school homework; in my case, my math homework is something I don’t enjoy, but I remind myself that I need the math certificate in order to enroll for a Computer Science degree at an university. Therefore, I keep pushing myself to study math and get good grades (which so far has worked pretty well)

I don’t use a VPN for Reddit and while I have another account, it’s not for ban evasion, but rather to have my nsfw activity separate from my personal account.

No fucking idea what’s happened here, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Reddit decided to use AI or some shit to regulate the rules, resulting in random bans.

JVT038 OP , 1 month ago

Yup, just did that!

JVT038 OP , 1 month ago

It’s a sound theory, however I am not banned from any subreddit as far as I’m aware of, so ban evasion can’t have been the reason.

Although, as I mentioned in another comment, I have another account, but that’s mainly used for my nsfw stuff.

JVT038 OP , 1 month ago

Nothing. My other account was only for lurking and I didn’t post anything; no comments, no posts, nothing.

I only post / comment on my main, but that’s now no longer possible lol.

I’d recommend everyone to archive their pages through the Internet Archive instead, as that non-profit seems to be more concerned with ethics than corporations such as Google.

Docker is a container manager, but that doesn’t say anything if you don’t know what containers are.

Containers are basically isolated apps. For example, take something like Nextcloud. Nextcloud can run in a Docker container, which means that it runs in an isolated environment completely separated from the user’s system. If Nextcloud breaks, the user’s server won’t be affected at all, because it’s running isolated.

Why is this useful? Well, it’s useful because dependencies and such automatically update. Nextcloud for example, is dependent on PHP and if you install Nextcloud directly on your server, you’ll need to ensure that PHP 8 has been installed and set up properly. If PHP (or the required PHP extensions) aren’t properly installed, Nextcloud won’t work. Or, maybe if there’s a Nextcloud update that requires a new version of PHP (PHP 9 or 10 in the future), you’ll have to manually update PHP to the newer version.

All that dependency management is completely gone with containers. The container itself automatically installs and sets up a proper environment for the app that’s running. So in the case of Nextcloud, the PHP binaries, extensions, and all the other stuff is all automatically included without the developer having to do anything at all. Just run one command and your entire Nextcloud instance is automatically updated.

JVT038 , 2 months ago

Depends.

If there are no external volumes and the container is in its own network without any other containers, then any malware in the container shouldn’t be able to reach / affect the host server, because it’s isolated.

You could add the Synocommunity as a package source, instructions here and then install Jellyfin from their repository in the Package Center. Jellyfin is available on their repository.

A disadvantage of this is that you’re dependent on the maintainer of the package on the Synocommunity and it could take a while for new versions to be uploaded to their repository. If you use Docker, then you can basically get new versions immediately.

On Mastodon, once of the maintainers (@hetisniels) is posting some of the features for 10.9.

JVT038 , 2 months ago

It’s a Mastodon account, so it’s quite possible that Lemmy can’t handle it. You can also go to mastodon.social/@hetisniels

I’d first recommend that you think about what you need.

What do you need? Do you want a safe space to back up your photos & videos from your phone? Or maybe a way to stream your movies, series and/or music in a cheap way?

Once you figure out what you want to host, you can look into which program can fulfill your needs. Check out the awesome-selfhosted list for a HUGE amount of services you could host.

You could try making a symlink, so that there is a ‘file’ in the Nextcloud directory which points to the Immich gallery, although I’m not sure how good it truly works.

If you would like to keep track of the movies you watch and give them a rating from 1 - 10, I’ll suggest Movary. I’m a contributor of the project and the goal is to eventually add support for TV Shows as well.

JVT038 , 3 months ago

Does this also apply to linuxserver/nextcloud image? Because that’s what I’m using.

Harry Potter. I’d be a normal muggle, blissfully ignorant of all the drama going on :)

JVT038 , 3 months ago

Exactly. That’s the entire point lol

JVT038 , 3 months ago

Just looked through it and I’m considering to switch!

I was wondering though, is there support for debugging sessions like VSCodium has? And what about remote development, SSH, docker integration and WSL2?

Also, can Pulsar run, inspect and debug (unit) tests?

You can use this but it doesn’t really download directly from Spotify. Instead, it takes the song name from Spotify, searches it on YouTube, downloads it from YouTube and then adds metadata from Spotify on the downloaded file.

Shameless self-plug, but I made a Python program that basically does the exact same thing, except it has a web ui. It’s called MetaTube and it also supports other metadata providers, such as Musicbrainz and Deezer.

I didn’t copy any project.

Although, I learnt Flask (the framework I use for this app) while developing MetaTube, and the project structure is heavily inspired by the excellent Flask guide by Miguel Grinberg. Check him out if you’re interested in learning Flask.

Ah well, that is a funny coincidence then. I guess neither Christoph Fink nor I were very creative with coming up with a name for our respective apps.

I’ve personally never heard of his project, but I can say that I haven’t published my package at the PyPi register. Although, I do have published it to the Docker Hub.

Maybe metatube-ui for my package and metatube-cli for his? Considering his package mainly runs from the CLI and mine is a web UI.
