Annoying when you accidentally hit it instead of ESC in certain Windows programs, loading Microsoft’s windows help website in your browser without your consent.

On Linux it usually does nothing, as it should.

Looks like my next keyboard is going to be a mechanical one. I don’t want a “copilot” key that I won’t use!

That’s painfully expensive for just 500ml, ouch!

Edit: just noticed that looks like just over 1L, still really expensive though…

It is ridiculous that Steam won’t let you play your games you payed for outside of steam

Very easy to run your previously purchased steam games without Steam. Search “Steam emulator”, follow the GitHub or Codeberg link, and problem solved…

Won’t help with games that use their own custom DRM though.

A privacy focused client that offers personalized recommendations is a bit of a juxtaposition IMO, and is definitely impossible now that YouTube removed homepage personalization for logged out accounts.

If you are fine with YouTube without ads, then you could log in with the likes of Revanced or Grayjay, and get a feed with personalized recommendations. This isn’t private though. Grayjay does however have a feature to anonymize your watch activity, and to perform certain actions in an anonymous YouTube session.

I’d even maybe be fine with something that takes all the watch next recommendations of the videos in the subscriptions page and jumbles them together as “recommendations”

NewPipe (and Freetube the last time I checked) already does this, but they use a built-in subscription system that does not require any kind of account

Piped (and LibreTube) uses its own account system which allows you to sync its built-in subscriptions & playlists between mobile and desktop, but I have not looked at whether they offer a feed with the synced subscriptions.

Personally if I’m specifically after watch recommendations, I just look at the related video suggestions on something that I like

Roughly how big are these files, and are they stored locally on your machine or mounted over the network (using FUSE, GVFS, or a kernel-based one like NFS?)

I’ve noticed a few linux file managers are quite cautious loading multimedia thumbnails for networked filesystems mounted with GVFS, not sure of a fix for that aside from looking for a command line utility to mount using FUSE instead

It’s probably marketing for V2L specifically I think.

It allows EVs to backfeed power through the charger cable into your home’s circuit breaker via a safety switchover, (if specced during charger installation - I doubt that feature was used here though) and doesn’t necessarily require the vehicle to be powered up. I.e. the car just behaves like a battery and a 2-4kW inverter for your home AFAIK.

You could probably do the same thing manually with an ICE, maybe would want to run the engine at least though, as the built in starter batteries won’t last too long and don’t like deep cycling. A death cable would technically work, but you’d really want a switchover box in a proper installation to not kill line operators repairing a power fault, and to retain proper GFCI operation

A lot of the more expensive EVs have this built in, although they don’t really publicly mention it for some reason. Ford’s F150 lightning is a really blatant example of this, it supposedly carries a much beefier inverter than average, but they’ve hidden the info behind a tiny link at the bottom of the webpage. It’s not even shown in the specifications grid.

I run Plex too, and indeed library sharing is built right in and ridiculously easy to set up.

I think OP is already doing things the best way possible in Jellyfin by mounting others’ servers remotely over VPN

It requires hardware support, and isn’t a feature you can implement or initiate within an android app.

If you can reach the maintainer for that TV box’s lineage ROM, they may be able to have a look at it

Mini USB has to be one of the most robust connectors I’ve used tbh. All my original cables from over a decade ago still work flawlessly, as well as the ports on the devices housing them.

As for Micro USB… not great. I hope USB-C is more durable, so far I haven’t had any issues with ports going bad that wasn’t down to some ultra cheap adapter or cable

If you screencap, use Firefox - you may get a blank screen if you attempt to capture Chrome

Made even worse by Sony, the manufacturer, completely exiting that market. I wonder if/how Sony will fix this, are there even staff on hand there with the technical details for their projector’s DRM anymore?

It speaks volumes about how silly DRM is when a massive game publisher like TakeTwo/Rockstar resorts to selling a pirated version of their own game 🤦‍♂️

The next time this happens those projectors may end up being $20000 bricks, and I’m not too sure how many independents will be able to afford dumping a quarter of a million to replace all their projector screens

Microsoft has really messed up GitHub. Logs you out automatically if you haven’t visited in a few days, constantly asks you to verify your 2FA, and the new feed makes it extremely difficult to track engagement on your own projects.

The worst one for me is that they allow you to view your recovery keys any time - IMO this is a really bad practice, recovery keys should only be shown once after a user has set up 2FA

Probably going to move to Codeberg since I’m seeing a lot of projects making the jump over there, but the real solution IMO is a federated version control system

I was permanently banned from both these subreddits, r/SFXLibraries and r/AudioPost for “piracy efforts”! Where or how did I commit “piracy” in any of these reddit posts?! Only adding insult to injury; I got immediately muted from contacting both subreddit admins for 28 days! I didn’t even mention anything pirate-related like keygens or torrents. I just asked for help to locate these

Crosspost this to !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Seeing as you’ve had issues obtaining the media through the legitimate means, it’s probably time to sail the open seas 🏴‍☠️

Here’s the links to the Hollywood Edge and Sound Idea’s wiki pages to show the list of libraries they made; some of them don’t appear on Source Audio, so I need help finding an archive of some of their discontinued libraries somewhere:
https://soundeffects.fandom.com/wiki/Sound_Ideas_Canada_Ltd.
https://soundeffects.fandom.com/wiki/The_Hollywood_Edge

It’s imperative I get it in their original unedited sound file form and in MP3 as .wav is too big and .ogg could crash certain programs like Vegas Pro.

If you can find the existence of it on Wayback machine somehow, that would be a great start, we could then have a filename to drop into the various P2P DHT search engines to get you what you’re after.

This post is a bit off topic for this community though - a moderator may remove it, just so you’re aware

Edit: fix c/ link

Been a while since I’ve looked at CC stuff!

Do these files come pre-patched or are they clean? If they’re clean, re-install, disconnect from the internet, and see if it is able to open normally. That way we’d then be able to isolate the issue to the patch painter.

If they come pre-patched, then aside from trying on another system or in a VM, i’m not too sure how this would be fixed. Have a look at the readme/description of wherever you downloaded it from, there could be extra steps needed that haven’t been done yet. If the collection came inside an ISO file, mount it instead of extracting it, as Windows Defender can’t delete things from ISOs AFAIK. If you extracted, then maybe something important was deleted by Windows defender

Also, at your own risk, disable Windows defender, it may delete the patched Adobe DLLs off your system the second it sees an executable loading them

That’s halfway correct - I’ll try and break it down a bit further into the various parts.

Your subdomains are managed in using DNS - if you want to create or change a subdomain, that happens here. For each of your services, you’ll create a type of DNS entry called an “A record”, containing your service’s full domain name, and the IP address of your reverse proxy (in this example, it is 10.0.0.1)

The DNS records would look like the following:

• plex.example.com, 10.0.0.1
• octoprint.example.com, 10.0.0.1
• transmission.example.com, 10.0.0.1

With these records created, typing any of these domains in a browser on your network will connect to your reverse proxy on port 80 (assuming we are not using HTTPS here). Your reverse proxy now needs to be set up to know how to respond to these requests coming in to the same port.

In the reverse proxy config, we tell it where the services are running and what port they’re running on:

• plex.example.com is at server.example.com:32400
• octoprint.example.com is at server.example.com:8000
• transmission.example.com is at server.example.com:8888

Now when you type the domain names in the browser, your browser looks in DNS for the “A record” we created, and using the IP in that record it will then connect to the reverse proxy 10.0.0.1 at port 80. The reverse proxy looks at the domain name, and then connects you on to that service.

What we’ve done here is taken all 3 of those web-based services, and put them onto a the same port, 80, using the reverse proxy. As long as the reverse proxy sees a domain name it recognises from its config, it will know what service you want.

One thing to note though, reverse proxies only work with web-based services

A reverse proxy takes all your web-based services, e.g.

• plex on port 32400
• octoprint on port 8000
• transmission on port 8888

and allows you to map these to domain names, so instead of typing server.example.com:32400 you can type plex.example.com. I have simplified this quite a bit though - you need DNS configured as well, and depending on your requirements you may want to purchase a domain name if you intend on accessing content from outside your home without a self hosted VPN.

Cloudflare is a DDoS mitigation service, a caching web proxy, and a DNS nameserver. Most users here would probably be using it for Dynamic DNS. You can use it in combination with a reverse proxy as a means to mask your home IP address from people connecting to your self hosted web-based services remotely, but on its own it cannot be used as a reverse proxy (at least easily - would not recommend attempting to). Do note that Cloudflare can see all the data you transmit through their systems, something to bare in mind if you are privacy conscious.

In my opinion though, it would be much better for you to use a self hosted VPN to access your self hosted services (can be used in combination with the reverse proxy), unless there is a specific need to expose the services out to the internet

Edit: fix minor typo, add extra info about cloudflare

Yep, this. There is no bug, this is actually their name.

https://unicodeplus.com/U+2588

The character █ (Full Block) is represented by the Unicode codepoint U+2588. It is encoded in the Block Elements block, which belongs to the Basic Multilingual Plane. It was added to Unicode in version 1.1 (June, 1993). It is HTML encoded as █.

There is a separate block character, usually a perfectly square one, that is shown when your system cannot display a unicode character, however this block character is rectangular.

Hands up if you/someone you know purchased a Steam Deck or other computer handheld, instead of upgrading their GPU 🙋‍♂️

To be honest I stopped following PC hardware altogether because things were so stagnant outside of Intel’s alder lake and the new x86 P/E cores. GPUs that would give me a noticeable performance uplift from my 1060 aren’t really at appealing prices outside the US either IMO
