Nice, I like it :)

You could add a word or phrase to remind people that it’s being given away for free to anyone that wants to run it. That might get people to think about any benefit they are getting out of it, and how much they want to donate in response.

I’m not sure what is the best wording for that, but just be careful in case someone misunderstands and thinks it might become paid someday. I’ve seen that complaint in the past

For example, this could be misinterpreted:

and if you want to keep using it for free

You can also add a note about the frequency of the messages. Saying that you will only remind people once a year is nice to hear, and that way people won’t dismiss it thinking they will do it when they are reminded the next time

So while this isn’t the cause in your case, it is possible to sticky things to the main feed. It’s done by admins, and for example lemmy.ca has a welcome post stickied right now:

https://lemmy.ca/

I think it’s a federation bug. That post is on https://community.nodebb.org/, which isn’t a Lemmy instance but actually a different software.

Which in itself is cool! There are a few projects being worked on right now to make traditional forums compatible with activity pub. The idea being that someday you’ll be able to follow and post in official support forums for things right from your Lemmy account.

But right now, it might be causing some weird federation bug. Maybe the date of the post shows up to Lemmy as sometime in the future and so it’s always the “newest” post (or something similar)?

Some brainstorming from me:

• Ideally people do not buy more teslas
• An initial goal would be to use the vehicle without it phoning home. Would the TeslaMate project be sufficient for that?
• Long term, would it be possible to replace the software running on the car’s console? Or would it be better to tear out the console and replace it with something else?

Alternatively, what would a recycling/conversion program look like?

Ok yep, I have the display issue as well. Interestingly, it only affects some of the equations. I’ll take a better look this evening

Can you link the article so that others can take a look?

I should have specified, people we’re downvoting you

But looks like the score is positive again 🙂

I’ve heard Kobo is better than the other big players when it comes to interoperability with open formats / self hosted setups.

As for the servers

The main one

Also (to everyone else reading your comment) let’s not downvote good faith comments, especially when they’re phrased as a question and wanting to learn more

With that in mind, I LOVE how lean and fast some FOSS apps/projects are. One of my motivations to go searching for FOSS alternatives is when something seems slow for no reason.

It’s not always the case, but it’s often the case

Oh interesting, I didn’t know that was a thing

Quoting from: https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/1bapfkl

The armv8 architecture which the DS218 uses is supported by Container Manager, Synology just put a hardcoded config into the official package to exclude certain models from installing it:

exclude_model="synology_rtd1296_ds118 synology_rtd1296_ds218 synology_rtd1296_ds218play synology_rtd1296_ds418 synology_rtd1296_ds418j synology_armada37xx_ds119j synology_rtd1296_rs819"

Pretty sure the https://github.com/007revad/ContainerManager_for_all_armv8 linked above just removes the hardcoded exclusion and doesn’t need to change anything else to get it to work.

If that workaround looks shady, you might be better off just installing docker directly

Which Synology NAS is it, and can you install Container Manager on it? That might be the simplest option since your files are already on that device. There should be lots of guides out there for it.

Container Manager is basically a worse DockGE / Portainer by Synology. It should be sufficient for pasting in the Jellyfin docker compose, but if you wanted you could also spin up DockGE/Portainer first and do it through that interface (or SSH into the NAS and do it all with the command line)

So the setup would be

• run Jellyfin as a Docker container on the Synology NAS (using either Container Manager or DockGE/Portainer/straight up command line)
• try it out with the web browser/desktop app/mobile apps to see if you like it
• find a setup that you find convenient for the TV (ex. Android TV apps with some device, the desktop app on the PC, etc)

EDIT: Looks like there are official guides for it, as well as lots of videos on YouTube: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/synology/

I gather Plex is at least semi-commercial while Jellyfin is the open source but worse option.

I haven’t used Plex enough to judge, but from the comments I’ve seen it seems that Jellyfin is now on par with or better than Plex. There was also some news recently about Plex moving more core features (remote playback?) to the paid plans, so I imagine there will be more people moving over soon.

There are a lot of options for client side apps, official and unofficial, so you might be able to find something specific to your setup

I thought it might be in settings but I don’t see it. For me, I got an option for “just this one” vs “always” when I tried to open a video, and it seems to be remembering that.

You could try backing up any settings and resetting the app to see if you get anything different, although it really should let you pick a default at any point

The Fossify one is decent

IIRC they stopped collecting data briefly because it was affecting the sites they were checking. They must have fixed that since it’s running again

The GoodKarmaToolkit in particular is an extra project that is managed by ArchiveBox, but the listed services aren’t made by them. I’m not as familiar with ArchiveBox itself, and it looks like there’s an open issue about AI stuff: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/1139

There is another called Data Hoarder that does this job too.

Yup, Hoarder was the one I was planning to use for bookmark management: https://hoarder.app/

[no major spoilers in this comment]

I asked two separate friends in the medical field for what they thought of the show, and both of them started with saying that the character is annoying 😄

I think that’s the goal, since there ARE people like that in the field that are difficult to work with. It also gives her room to grow and be ‘humbled’ through the course of the show.

The key is that you need to subscribe to the type of content you want to see. There’s no company here deciding what your feed is going to be.

@BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world, what kind of stuff are you interested in? I’m happy to help you find related communities :)

I can also see some people being opposed to them spending the donation money on ads, since they’d be giving money to companies that may be in opposition to what we’re doing here (or ideological reasons around the advertising industry in general).

Maybe if there was a separate pool of donations specifically for advertising, then people who want to support that can donate to it? Those who don’t can still donate to the projects themselves

Yup, the installation guide says to comment out the things you don’t want to run
