A courtyard of bamboo and late-night snow

a lone lantern a book on the table

if I hadn't encountered the teaching of no effort

how else could I have gained this life of leisure

  • What's your preferred site for manga now that MangaDex has been (pretty much) taken down?

    Jump

  • Great site! Thanks

  • At least there's Nyaa, and alternative sites to Mangadex for ongoing releases.

  • How does Netflix, HBO and other services get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate?

    Jump

  • Completely machine translated subtitles often lack quality and nuance to their translations. I'd rather have a human getting paid to do proper subtitling instead. But yes, if the option is having zero subtitles instead, then sure. That's not the case with Netflix etc though, they can definitely afford proper subtitling.

    Translation is an art as much as it is a science.

  • I ran Actual Budget on this for a hot minute, worked great

  • Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately it's still trial and error. Check out e.g Ovpn, Astrill, Mullvad though. You can always email and ask different providers as well. Though it's best it you set it up before visiting China. A HK sim through Airalo or similar also works.

    Jump

  • Yeah, I've heard Shanghai for example has zones where the GFW is much more lax?

  • Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall?

    Jump

  • It's better to pay for a VPN provider that is verified to work in China. And no, they won't kidnap you for using a VPN as some people write here. It's a non-issue just to bypass the GFW. The issue is when you write to a Chinese audience things that the CCP do not like.

  • Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall?

    Jump

  • You don't have to set up your own VPN. Many public providers work.

  • Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall?

    Jump

  • It's crazy that this is an opinion that people really have. I don't like authoritarian states and I have a lot of issues with the CCP, but this isn't true at all. Loads of native Chinese living in China uses a VPN. They don't care about it.

  • Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall?

    Jump

  • They have. I don't know what people are talking about in this post. It's bypassable easily, and the CCP won't kill you for it. There are so many Chinese using aVPN themselves to bypass GFW

  • how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new?

    Jump

  • And with it, less reading on Lemmy, more reading real books :)

    Jump

  • Learning a new language, and with it, a new way to see the world, is a true life hack.

    Jump

  • The future sucks.

  • This unAmerican life: can you really divest yourself of everything from the US?

    Jump

  • This needs to be told to so many on Lemmy. The "all or nothing" mentality is pervasive.

  • It is possible to install android on some kindle ereaders

  • Love my Boox Page

  • What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?

    Jump

  • From my limited experience with Obsidian, I still preferred Logseq actually. And the syncing is easily done by just storing the markdown files in a cloud folder. But yeah, it's subjective for sure.

  • What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?

    Jump

  • I'd say Logseq is better than any note-taking alternative that works in the same way. It's a bit different to regular note-taking apps as it acts more as a knowledge database based on tags, than with a regular file-folder structure. Also I prefer Actual Budget to YNAB, as it's starting to have even more features than YNAB and actually supports things like bank syncing for major parts of Europe that even YNAB doesn't. And it's free to host yourself or really cheap to host through PikaPods. But it's hard to say "objectively" because in the end, a lot of it is subjective. If people are used to running one program, it'll be hard to switch to another, even if it's "objectively" better.

    The largest issue with FOSS applications is that many contributors don't have any UX/UI knowledge, which is a huge factor in why people choose one program over another. I'd argue GIMP is a mess compared to Photoshop, even if GIMP is able to do many, many things that Photoshop is able to.
