  • What old person thing do you do now that you wouldn't have guessed you'd do when you were younger?

  • Or sold to advertisers...

    Or your insurance company...

    Or law enforcement...

  • Crossover hours?

  • My headcanon (and actually reading the wiki, it is pretty much canon) is that none of this is actually true, but just stories past down over generations.

    We hear of the whole being digested over 1000 years thing from Jabba (translated by C-3PO) while he's threatening them with execution, so it's not exactly reliable info.

    In fact evidence actually points to the contrary, from the wiki:

    During Boba Fett's escape, he spotted the body of a stormtrooper that was likely part of a search party years before. Despite this, the stomach acid of the sarlacc was still potent enough to have dissolved holes in the stormtrooper's armor and scar Boba Fett after only hours of exposure.

  • What's your laziest or most ridiculous automation?

  • Get rid of that thing immediately, it's recording everything you say and sending it to Palantir

  • I'd recommend setting your printer into LAN only mode and continue using OrcaSlicer

  • Where to go now since Linux is mainstream

  • NixOS. And be really annoying about declarative software environments

  • How many containers are you all running?

    Jump

  • I disagree that Nix is a solution in search of a problem, in fact it solves arguably the two biggest problems in software deployment: dependency hell and reproducibility (i.e. the "It works on my machine" problem)

    Every package gets access to the exact version of all the dependencies it needs (without needless replication like Flatpaks would have) and sharing a flake to another machine means you can replicate that exact setup and guarantee it will be exactly the same

    Containers try to solve the same problems, and succeed to a somewhat decent extent, although with some overhead of course.

    I'm not trying to criticize you or your setup at all, if Debian alone works for you, that's fine. The beauty of open source and self hosting is that we can use whatever tools we want, however we want. I do though think it's good practice to be aware of what alternatives are out there should our needs change, or should our tools change to no longer align with our needs.

  • How many containers are you all running?

    Jump

  • Small setups can very easily turn into large setups without you noticing.

    The only bare-metal setup I'd trust to be scaleable is Nix flakes (which I'm actually very interested in migrating to at some point)

  • It's hard to recommend any Chromium-based browser in 2026 as Chromium no longer supports Manifest v2 extensions, breaking support for essential content blockers like uBlock Origin.

    Even Brave, which has a built-in adblocker not based on extensions, is loaded with AI and Crypto bs, and as far as I'm aware, the adblocker portion of its code is closed source. This isn't even mentioning the horrific political opinions expressed by the CEO of that company.

    I keep a copy of raw ungoogled Chromium around for webUSB firmware flashing, but that's it.

    If I were you, I would try and figure out what is causing firefox-based browsers to run slowly - i.e. toggling on/off hardware acceleration in browser settings and see if that makes a difference.

  • This is a single unofficial client for the mentioned software. LibreTranslate itself is fantastic.

  • It may be a regional thing but "how much so" makes complete sense to me

  • Built a Spotify to Navidrome playlist Exporter. Meet Navispot 😅

    Jump

  • Doing this is generally a bad idea, because audio exported from YouTube is pretty poor quality, and music videos often have bits of talking or silence that make sense in context of the video but aren't part of the actual song (designed to prevent exactly this). There was a cli tool I used last year that could download music from Spotify directly.

    Edit: The tool I was talking about is Zotify

    Make sure to set the --download-quality flag to very_high if you have premium to ensure it downloads in max quality

    If you have long playlists (more than a few hundred songs), you should also use the --skip-previously-downloaded and --song-archive flags as per the docs to make sure you can start again from where you left off, as Spotify will start to rate-limit your connection and downloads will fail (if this happens, just kill the tool, wait a few minutes and start again)

  • Navidrome can scrobble to ListenBrainz which starts giving you recommendations playlists after a couple of weeks :)

  • Leaseholders in England and Wales to have ground rent capped at £250 a year

  • In other news, a mysterious sudden increase in average service charge prices...

  • Limo [EDIT: project looks dead, stick with MO2]

    Jump

  • I bet this has something to do with them being sold off last year and the new owners not seeing the cross platform app as being worth it

  • Is there a way to remove the autopopulated dashboards from the sidebar? Not per device.

    Jump

  • This issue is, the default dashboard is done per client, not per user (I think they're changing this, or have done very recently??)

    So if you:

    • clear cookies
    • reinstall the app
    • clear app data
    • change your instance's ip/domain
    • set up a new device

    then it will revert to the stock "overview" dashboard.

    Of course, how often this happens depends on how often you do any of those things so for some it's not an issue, while for others it's a frequent annoyance

  • Not heard of this company before but I've set up to be notified once the UK keyboard for the Horizon is in stock

  • How do you successfully maintain a calorie deficit over the long run?

    Jump

  • I did a keto diet for a bit back in the summer. It worked very well for me and I lost 10kg in about 7 weeks. The diet made me feel full for a long time so I was also on one meal a day and not snacking. It's not something I think I could keep up long term, the variety in what you can eat isn't enough for me, although since coming off the diet, I haven't put any of the weight back on so my metabolism must have changed somehow as a result.

    Not saying it's for everyone, but I was surprised how well it worked for me.
