dinckel@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilEnglish241·2 months agoI feel like it’s just a matter of time, until they pull the rug from under lifetime subs.
But in any case, this is probably it for me. I’m not completely happy with jellyfin performance on my server, but the price hike puts me outside of what i’m willing to spend for this service. I already host it myself, and i can tunnel it myself too, if i ever decide to run it outside of my home network
dinckel@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish7·3 months agoWe used to own a 2008-ish Wrangler, and it’s the single worst car anyone in my family has ever owned. There wasn’t one redeeming quality about this vehicle, except for that it makes you look like an asshole, and apparently some people are into that
dinckel@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Possible to Transfer Windows 11 Key to Virtual Machine?3·3 months agoIf you know how to use VB, using Virtmanager wouldn’t be too different. You’ll have to find how these are packaged for your distribution, but the instructions for everything else on the wiki will be helpful regardless of the distro
dinckel@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Possible to Transfer Windows 11 Key to Virtual Machine?2·3 months agoYou can keep your existing partition, and just mount the disk in a libvirt/qemu on kvm setup. Here is a good place to start
Especially on Linux, libvirt/qemu on kvm is a no-brainer. It works, it’s fast, the setup is practically effortless
dinckel@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•There is now an 'on the go' section in Flathub to promote mobile apps15·4 months agoThey definitely exist, and there is progress, but even in the best case scenario, you’re far from being able to comfortably daily one. postmarketOS is probably the most consistently updated project at this time
dinckel@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•There is a fee to close my HSA accountEnglish14·4 months agoThis is not mildly infuriating. This should just be illegal. Paying money to close your account is beyond infuriating
dinckel@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Which Linux tool or command is surprisingly simple, powerful, and yet underrated?"3·3 months agoI really enjoy erdtree as a ls replacement
dinckel@lemmy.worldto Android@lemdro.id•App downloads decline 2.3% in 2024, but consumer spending grows to $127B | TechCrunchEnglish13·5 months agoI’d be using apps a lot more often, if they were actually functionally useful, and not just a vehicle for micro transactions, and ad revenue. Half of the shit i used to open regularly is now paywalled, to the point where even the barebones features of those apps aren’t available anymore
My experience is aligned with this. I’ve barely had any issues at all, especially in the 6.x cycle.
There was one pretty annoying panel bug, which was caused by Nvidia, but i’ve sent them reports, and they fixed it in the next driver release. The other one is a thirdparty addon, where under a certain setting combination, your shell would occasionally restart, but again that’s not a Plasma bug
For nix-darwin specifically, the cleaned up build process, and SDK packaging is nice. It hasn’t eliminated all the issues, but a lot of those are less of a fault of Nix, and more an issue with macOS design. Hoping they can be addressed somehow, but for now, the issues with workarounds are tracked.
And just in general, Python has kind of been a pain in the ass to understand, so any improvement is exciting, as i’m still learning how things work here.
A bunch of packages I want got officially merged or updated during this release cycle too, and as much as I appreciate thirdparty flakes, I don’t want to rely on them too much
Been a very exciting release.
The nix-darwin upgrades come along right as i migrated my Mac to Nix, but even outside of that, all the package and module merges are always welcome. All my machines run Nix now, so the less work I have to do manually, the better
dinckel@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Podman 5.3 released with changes for improved networking experience with pasta10·7 months agoI replaced docker with podman on all of my systems, and so far i really have nothing to complain about. Works exactly as advertised

That’s a huge shame. I was using it quite extensively to sync wallpapers and immediately-necessary files to my phone.
It’s not even like it looks any better for iOS either. Between the filesystem permission issues, and the background activity being severely crippled as standard, no wonder there’s no development there either
I use Bibata however I don’t really have a strong preference for any specific one.
Going to return to this thread a bit later, just to see if other people link something interesting
My mom got my XPS9350 i used to bring to uni, and at the moment, it has Fedora in it.
She repeatedly claimed it was a lot more straightforward for her to understand, compared to the endless inconsistencies and issues on Windows. All things considered, she is fairly tech illiterate too.
Plus it’s easy for me to remote into, in case something breaks
Yeah that checks out. I’ve found out about this in a doubly infuriating scenario.
I was home abroad on a holiday, and they billed me for my regular monthly service. So naturally, i got slapped with the 25$ rejection fee, and then my bank decided to pay the overdraft on the second attempt, resulting in another 45$ in bank fees for that too.
Everything in the US is purposefully designed to fuck you over.
