  • What was the worst apartment you've ever lived in?

    Jump

  • At the start of the year, we were having to kill 50 or more a day, some of them were huge, prehistoric era looking things. By the end of the year, we were only finding 1-2 a day and they were much smaller so we were definitely putting a lot of pressure on the population. Not sure if we would have wiped them out completely if we'd had to stay longer but I certainly wasn't gonna stay in that place any longer than I had to.

  • Third year in University - when we moved in, it hadn't been cleaned from the previous tenants, my parents were kind enough to come and help us clean and it took the five of us (during covid too so we were trying to social distance as much as we could) 3 days to get it into a livable state.

    That was only the start though, over the course of those days cleaning, we started noticing these weird bugs everywhere. Yup. Massive silverfish infestation. Huge ones, small ones, every room, coming in through the floor, the walls, the ceiling, behind furnature, anywhere there was a gap, they'd slither out of. We had to spray insecticide all over the place which gave me bad headaches if there wasn't enough ventilation.

    Sometimes still, out of the corner of my eye, I'll think I see one and kind of panic for a fraction of a second, I'm not sure if I'll ever get over that.

  • Flashback to my Galaxy Ace circa 2012 with its cheap plastic back cover that literally snapped in half, leading to me being "that kid" in school with my phone held together with tape... 😐

  • how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?

    Jump

  • I worked around that by making a smart playlist in Navidrome with all my tracks sorted by date added. In Tempo you can then download the entire playlist.

  • I have just set up Navidrome from the first time and I'm using Feishin as my Linux desktop client. I installed it via nix because it isn't in the Fedora repos as far as I could tell

  • Docker is renaming a mounted drive [Solved]

    Jump

  • It sounds to me like one (or more) of your containers is referencing something on your storage drive, but Docker is loading before your drive gets mounted. When Docker sees that the folder its trying to access doesn't exist, it creates it, blocking your drive from taking that name.

    To fix it, you would need to make sure your storage drive is mounted before Docker starts, how you do that is down to you and your particular setup though.

  • Google just had to put AI in the app store, and it apparently endorses scummy scam sites

  • Google Play is so full of shit they could pivot to being a sewage plant

  • Hey Lemmy, what browser do you use and why?

    Jump

  • This is the way.

    Zen's UI is great, and it has better defaults for privacy than Firefox does, as well as having its own mods repository on top of all the standard Firefox webextensions. (Try "better find bar", "floating history" and "floating status bar" if you haven't already, they make the last few bits of the UI look consistent)

  • How I use Pinchflat/Sponsorblock to avoid podcast ads

    Jump

  • I've had a pipeline in mind for exactly this purpose that I want to build when I get around to it:

    • Download the audio file from RSS feed
    • Self hosted AI transcription model (with output that includes timestamps)
    • Self hosted LLM to recognise ad sections and return the start and end timestamps as json
    • ffmpeg to slice those timestamps out and stitch the rest back together

    In theory, this should be able to remove ad and sponsor sections of any length completely automatically and there's nothing to stop it working on videos too

  • Voyager users, how many up/downvotes do you have recorded on me?

  • Ooh, that is neat! I've been using Lemmy for months and didn't know this was a thing. You're my first tracked upvote now :)

  • Ooh, thanks for pointing that out. The image was uploaded in November 2021 so it's older than I realised

  • What's a good HTPC OS and software?

    Jump

  • I've found Android TV to be the most usable TV OS tbh. I use Konstakang's LineageOS Android TV 15 image on a Pi 5 which is source available (non commercial only licence). And Projectivy Launcher (closed source but is by an indie dev and better than the stock Google one). The Pi is CEC compatible so I can control it with my TV remote no problem, and I use Moonlight to stream games from my PC.

    If you already have hardware, there may be an Android x86 TV release somewhere but I haven't personally tested any, and you have to make sure the apps you want support x86 (all the open source ones like Jellyfin should)

    Edit to add: I also personally haven't found a need to install GApps as all the apps I use are either open source, or were made to work also on FireTV so don't rely on GApps APIs. (Use SmartTube instead of YouTube, it's a better experience anyway)

  • Steam Deck / SteamOS hits 19,000 games rated Verified and Playable

  • A quick search says there are 55,000 games on Steam. 19,000 is just over a third of all Steam games guaranteed to work on Linux with no issues.

  • What's your favorite job interview hack?

    Jump

  • Remember back in school there would always be that one kid who was able to get the teacher talking and going off topic so the class had to do less work?

    Basically learn to do that in your interviews. If you're lucky enough to know the name of your interviewer beforehand, stalk their LinkedIn and try and find something they're interested in. People love talking about themselves. If you can manage to get your interviewer rambling about something they like, they will come away feeling it was a good interview, and you'll probably learn a hell of a lot more about what the job is actually like on a day to day basis.

    I've found that the smaller the company, the higher the success rate doing something like this. Larger companies tend to have a more rigid interview structure or have multiple interviewers at once.
