  • Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language?

    Jump

  • The Panzer Dragoon series, except for Saga which is only partly in the fictional language.

  • Looking for a good ebook library alternative

    Jump

  • WebDAV is probably the easiest for syncing the actual articles. I use some standalone server whose name I can't recall but there's a bunch of options.

    I also use calibre-web for accessing articles through koreader + opds on a Kobo ereader, although this is a manual process and could probably be refined.

    Jellyfin inquiry

    Jump

  • If the jellyfin server is hosted on the same LAN as the Roku you should be able to access it without Tailscale at all using the IP address of the physical server and port number of Jellyfin. I.E don't use the tailscale IP of the server when accessing from local devices.

  • Crysis Remastered Trilogy released on GoG

    Jump

  • Note that if you want to play the VR mod it only works with the original Crysis, which is also on GOG.

  • Sony is reportedly set to release an updated PS5 DualSense controller with a removable battery | VGC

    Jump

  • If you can charge it outside of the controller than this opens up the possibility to have multiple batteries which you can swap between. I don't think that is the case going by the article, however.

  • Removed Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • I have a working solution already so unraid isn't really appealing to me, and as you say, isn't FOSS. It's one of the multiple reasons I'll never switch to Plex, even if some argue it is a superior product to Jellyfin.

    But I use NixOS (btw) so it's fairly low maintenance once it's setup, and easy to redeploy if things ever go completely sideways due to hardware failures etc

  • Locked

    Why does philosophy education make people uncomfortable?

    Jump

  • I suspect it's any university degree that doesn't have obvious "practical" benefits at this point (and even then).

  • Sources to purchase mp3s?

    Jump

  • MP3 is fine if the bitrate is high enough and it was encoded with a semi-modern encoder. I still prefer FLAC so I can transcode it to whatever lossy codec I need without additional losses (usually Opus but there may be better codecs in the future).

  • What's the best paid search engine?

    Jump

  • It's not paid but you could try self hosting searxng. Since it's FOSS there isn't the conflict of interest issue, although be aware it's a meta search engine so relies on the quality of common search engines. And your IP could be traced if it's not connected through a commercial vpn just like using the search engines directly.

  • What would a world look like if recycling reached 100%?

    Jump

  • Look into the notion of the circular economy if you want to investigate this further, although it goes well beyond just recycling.

  • Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that

    Jump

  • Maybe Navidrome's jukebox mode, although I suspect it's a slightly different idea (and it was a bit buggy last time I tried it).

  • Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that

    Jump

  • Many don't run into dir structure issues because they have already organised their libraries with beets or an equivalent. I don't personally have any issues with playing albums either. Some of the issues you are talking about seem to be client side, are you only testing the web interfaces?

    Jump

  • Dsub2000 and Tempo are active FOSS alternatives.

  • How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)

    Jump

  • This isn't quite the same thing. I'd say locked bootloaders are the Android analog, and they are already less likely to be user unlockable than the typical PC (and the situation is getting worse).

  • is Lemmy the most popular 'Reddit Alternative'?

    Jump

  • 404media is exactly the site I would expect to be aware of Lemmy among the semi-mainstream tech outlets (along with TheVerge to a lesser extent).

  • What's one thing your learned at college/university that blew your mind?

    Jump

  • I know people's experience varies on this but I absolutely hated high school, and only discovered that I enjoyed learning as a process because of uni. And I'd probably still be small minded and somewhat bigoted if I hadn't gone. Simply because it forced me to critically evaluate my own views and also exposed me to a number of types of people I wouldn't have encountered otherwise.

    It's a shame it's so expensive in some countries, because I think it's important to have a well-educated society more broadly.

  • Valve just gave Steam Deck owners a new way to organize and customize their game library

    Jump

  • Looks like it's available in desktop mode too, so will work anywhere on Linux at the least.

  • The future is NOT Self-Hosted, but Self-Sovereign

    Jump

  • I just overuse parantheses instead, as you noted. You know you're rambling when you have several layers of them, like I'm writing a conversation in Lisp.

  • How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news?

    Jump
    • Don't use social media or news sites when you wake up, or before bed
    • Block notifications from social media and news sites, or uninstall altogether
    • Set time limits (like with leechblock-ng on desktop, or with simple alarms)
    • You probably don't need to read the news every day to be reasonably informed
