  • homelessness

    Jump

  • I think the second guy had it backwards.

    Wikipedia (If you don't like it, use it's sources):

    Nearly half of foster children in the US become homeless when they reach the age of 18

  • YSK about SomaFM, an independant non-commercial internet radio with really nice and diverse curated channels

    Jump

  • You can get the streams in the form of a playlist file.

    Attach it to any subsonic player. Or probably VLC

  • Firefox Nightly Preps Progressive Web App Support

    Jump

  • Yes it is. PITA to work within your own network.

    I run a DNS server for this purpose.

  • Firefox Nightly Preps Progressive Web App Support

    Jump

  • I wanted a taskbar button for Navidrome at work. This is so I could quickly find my music in between the several open Firefox windows.

    As the IT admin, I could've installed this. But I knew I REALLY shouldn't. It needed administrator rights, and I had no idea how secure it was.

    So instead I used Brave for Navidrome PWA. Brave was installed as local user, so it couldn't bring down my entire organization if it got my password.

    Now I'll be able to switch back.

  • You can do DDNS for free, using a client app on your server, rather than router.

    I use cloudflare-ddns

  • Who needs retirement when you can buy an asset that loses value over time?

    Jump

  • No.

  • What host names do you use?

    Jump

  • Shit. Here I thought I was creative.

    I use my alias butter. With either the device or the OS if I'm dual booting or distrohopping.

  • Not real... for now

    Jump

  • No ads, no masters.

    There's never been a worthwhile server with unskippable or unblockable ads.

  • GitHub - LadybirdBrowser/ladybird: Truly independent web browser

    Jump

  • How does one have a donation = no influence policy?

    Huge companies donate to make open apps like this reliant on them. Then they threaten to pull the donation if that doesn't happen...

    Strong Copyleft licenses protect from this by allowing others to fork and keep an app going without being taken advantage of.

    If Google donates 1 billion dollars tomorrow, and over several months, Ladybird will expand to use that money. Then Google can threaten to stop the donations unless LB does something like "make ad blockers worse"

    It's a web browser. The only money they will make is from donations. Unless they do something wonky with their business model, like charge. Then no one will use it anyway.

  • The Secret Maze of Debian Images

    Jump

  • I'm fully aware of what a SHA file is, and it's entirely unimportant to me.

    Admittedly, I did check the arch image I use at work.

  • Seeding

  • Doing the lords work.

  • Seeding

    Jump

  • Permaseed is the default. To disable perma-seed would be to set an upload limit, like a time amount or a ratio.

    I run a ratio of 2:1 for most stuff

  • Seeding

    Jump

  • This is especially useful for Books. Small torrents are so hard to find. I perma seed books/audiobooks and copy to my slskd directory because they're so hard.

  • Friends who have babies

    Jump

  • I have a baby.

    This is accurate.

  • I would do this for just 1.99

    Jump

  • Not me!

  • Should I ditch Samsung Galaxy S8?

    Jump

  • Buy a pixel a or an older flagship.

    8 pro, virtually identical to the 9 pro, is like $400 renewed on Amazon. It'll be more powerful than your S8, but not that powerful overall. Not sure how it compares to an A series, worth looking in to.

    GrapheneOS is the most stable OS I've ever used. I haven't ever had any problems with it that wasn't a result to its security features.

  • Sonos Plans to Launch Apple TV-Like Streaming Box

    Jump

  • No. Apple TV is 2 different products with this name. Apple TV+ is a subscription based TV streaming service. Like Netflix and Disney+.

    The other one, Apple TV, the one Sonos is copying, is a piece of hardware that plugs to your TV and downloads apps to connect to the other streaming services. This hardware piece is comparable to an Amazon Firestick, a Google Chromecast, Nvidia Sheild, Roku, and a slew of cheap Android TV boxes.

  • They're coming

  • Load the whole movie into RAM and go to town.

    Users with personal music libraries, how do you decide what to download?

    How are you people faking location to get a better price for subscriptions?
