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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 :)

  • 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.

  • Only tangentially related, but you might want to start looking into alternative launchers. Nova Launcher is now EOL and no longer being maintained

  • Tempus v4.6.0 android subsonic client

    Jump

  • Thanks for the recommendation, it certainly seems like an interesting project, although it's current capabilities are almost backwards from what I actually want. My current workflow is:

    • Listen to my library in Navidrome via Feishin/Tempus
    • Scrobble my listens to ListenBrainz
    • ListenBrainz generates my weekly recommendations playlist (things not in my library)
    • I listen to the playlist on the ListenBrainz site via YouTube embeds
    • Any songs I like, I download high quality FLAC files of using slskd by buying legitimately

    Just being able to see my recommended songs in Tempus would remove some of the barrier of having to log in to ListenBrainz every week (which I often push to the bottom of my to-do list and end up missing recommendations). I don't even really need to stream them directly in the app, just being able to see them and open the YouTube link would be a good start.

    I get that this might be a bit of a niche way of doing things and everyone will have a slightly different idea though, I don't really expect my exact personal workflow to be catered for by open source devs.

  • What's an unpopular UI opinion you have?

    Jump

  • Windows 11's UI is fine.

    I have so many issues with Windows: the privacy invasion, the ads, the upselling of MS's services, the need for an online Microsoft account, that I haven't used Windows in over 2 years. But I see so many people saying it has an ugly UI - it's UI is literally fine, I would have no problems using it if a Linux DE happened to come up with that design before Microsoft did.

  • Tempus v4.6.0 android subsonic client

    Jump

  • It might be a bit out of scope (at least for now) but something I'd love to see eventually is the ability to pull down weekly recommendations from ListenBrainz and view them natively in-app. Even if they just linked to the YouTube video, it would make self hosting music feel like it had the last remaining benefits of streaming services.
