  • TIL: PeerTube

    Jump

  • Theres this old experimental tool called ZeroNet, and it had some really good ways of managing shared data. You could pin websites and files for other people to access, set limits, bandwidth, etc. It'd be nice to have something similar on peertube, like supporting certain creators by immediately hosting their videos for them. Maybe, for example, hosting their latest three videos.

    Theres going to be an official reevaluation once the governance has finished bootstrapping.

  • You should learn the nix lang, flakes, zero to nix, etc and try not to get bogged down in the Nix/Aux stuff. Be prepared to wait for things to settle down on that side.

  • Sadly no AFAIK, even ignoring the licensing issues.

  • What are some good Overleaf (Latex) alternatives?

  • "Select where you heard about typst"-> Fediverse

    Finally somewhere that actually has Fediverse as an option, this must be a good app.

  • I think once you get down to the size of vehicles like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2oD1ZHNMFE then they become naturally modular/replaceable. At least in the same way that bikes are. I don't think people really create "modular" bikes they are just naturally swappable. Of course standards are helpful, and I think there is a total lack of standards for golfcart sized enclosed vehicles.

  • The "front page" of most instances are not interesting to average people or to professionals (e.g. local gov that wants to go open source, like those switching to Mastodon).

    Part is lemmy's hot-sort is basically broken as a ranking, another part is bad language filters, another part is that major communities here (fediverse, Linux memes, star trek memes, science memes, etc) are off-putting to out-of-group people because of so many in-group jokes. Its a hard fix.

  • 15 Minute Cities: A DISASTER waiting to happen

    Jump

  • You should watch the rest, especially the ending, there are some great quotes in there. "There's so much freedom in [suburb]. There's no shops, cafes, theaters, places to eat, schools, or even people. But uhh, that's all part of the freedom; you have the freedom to go somewhere better! like [15min city name]"

  • Is there a License that requires the user to donate if they make revenue?

    Jump

  • This is pretty cool. I've got a couple repos that Microsoft uses for VS Code. I switched one of them to GPLv3, but maybe I'll switch the other to this license.

  • Can you all relate to this? I definitely fall into this category

    Jump

  • Same (sunlight alarm clock, getting up super early to compensate, and male) but also I have a heater on a timer-socket. When its super hot and bright its hard to stay in bed.

  • This is such an awesome answer; exactly what I was looking for. Simple, general, and something I can actually try. Thanks for replying

  • [SOLVED] Any luck/experience contributing more bike-friendly roads to Google Maps

    Jump

  • As someone who uses open street maps for statistics/analysis to advocate better bike infrastructure; please contribute to open street maps not google.

    You can easily do exactly what you were saying; open up an existing road, add an attribute to it saying bike_friendly: true. Just login (on desktop), go to the part of the map you want to edit, click edit at the top and do the walkthrough. It should look like this

    Side rant: The google maps API for analyzing data is so bad it might as well not exist. Even ignoring the painful signup process AUTH tokens, cost of usage, and crappy docs; it doesn't provide access to basically any useful information about roads. Meanwhile open street maps is so easy you don't even need an account; just run a browser command and scrape any data you want, including downloading the entire database.

  • NixOS for gamedev

    Jump

  • Yeah, university is almost certainly going to expect you to be able to install Unreal or Unity, which just isn't possible AFAIK on NixOS. NixOS is very all or nothing. You can't just remove the restrictions for one project and hack something together to hit an assignment deadline. Theres still lots of pain points with LD_PATH and 3rd party binaries.

    That said, you can use nixpkgs on non-nixos and still get reliability for Godot and other open source tools. For your case, I highly recommend dual booting, and then using nixpkgs without going full blown nixOS.

  • For standard notes, its got an auto-export plaintext file option on desktop. Were you wanting two-way editing of plaintext? (e.g. Auto export and import)

  • If you're developing a FOSS project, be aware of cryptobros trying to PR a tea.yml into it.

    Jump

  • When you're editing yaml, why not just always write JSON?

    Almost all nix attr keys are unquoted strings. Maybe I'm missing the point list, but I kinda wouldn't expect it to be on the list.
