Have you tried not subscribing to those communities?

The main difference with Reddit is Reddit excludes all NSFW and quarantined subs from the all feed, Lemmy doesn't. So if your instance federates with porn instances yeah, the all feed is gonna suck.

That was 7 years ago. People grow up.

I don't normally watch him but this popped on my feed, and I'm pretty impressed. Dude really fell the Arch+Hyprland rabbit hole and ended up loving it.

Probably one of the largest YouTuber switching to Linux, and is very positive about it.

That Hyprland rice is pretty sick too.

Not an explanation or proper fix, but running the games through Gamescope might fix it by side effect. In gamescope the game would never lose focus and so shouldn't have problems resuming afterwards.

I don't think we're quite there yet societally for Internet voting. There's enough claims of rigged elections already.

It's fundamentally a trust problem: the way it is right now, any idiot can witness the counting process and be confident it was all done properly. You can't do that with a computer, you have to trust that the computer does what it claims to do. It would probably lead to the same issue as with mail ballots as well, it would likely favor the left and the right would do everything to discredit the validity of it.

I'm sure clever people have a neat cryptographic scheme that I would fully trust, but apart from potential UX problems, it doesn't solve that probably none of my family would trust it even if I explained it to them. And I would understand them, given big tech is constantly invading our privacy, I would be skeptical too.

Paper ballots are tangible, anyone can see that people only put one ballot in the box, that nobody messes with the box or peak into the box (votes are supposed to be anonymous). People can see that the sealed boxes are moved and opened up then counted. The ballot pusher is silly but it also shows the attention to details to ensure the confidentiality and prevent any doubt that anything fishy happened.

It's definitely not for everyone. It's a very complex show with a lot of symbolism, and you kind of have to think for yourself what's really the implications of what's going on.

I was hooked from beginning to end, but it's definitely pretty boring if you don't get the subtext, or simply want an easy sit back and relax kind of show.

Ouaip, voté par courrier la semaine passée!

Depends on your goal: do you want to preserve what you can at its best, or do you want to ensure you have plenty of entertainment to go by?

I'd probably go with the lower quality. We watched TV in 480i and under for decades, and 720p is still quite watchable even today. In HEVC or AV1 you can really pack a decent collection.

You can't really easily locate where the last version of the file is located on an append-only media without writing the index in a footer somewhere, and even then if you're trying to pull an older version you'd still need to traverse the whole media.

That said, you use ZFS, so you can literally just zfs send it. ZFS will already know everything that needs to be known, so it'll be a perfect incremental. But you'd definitely need to restore the entire dataset to pull anything out of it, reapply every incremental one by one, and if just one is unreadable the whole pool is unrecoverable, but so would the tar incrementals. But it'll be as perfect and efficient as possible, as ZFS knows the exact change set it needs to bundle up. It's unidirectional, so that's why you can just zfs send into a file and burn it to a CD.

Since ZFS can easily tell you the difference between two snapshots, it also wouldn't be too hard to make a Python script that writes the full new version of changed files and catalogs what file and what version is on which disc, for a more random access pattern.

But really for Blurays I think I'd just do it the old fashioned way and classify it to fit on a disc and label it with what's on it, and if I update it make a v2 of it on the next disc.

I do the same but also have a few trap addresses nobody sane should see or email to, but is easy for scrapers to grab. Easy way to train the spam filter.

Both use Linux under the hood. You can even install LineageOS on some TVs.

The only reason AndroidTV is bullshit is the manufacturers because casual users want shit like Netflix and Prime preinstalled. Google TV in particular comes with a lot of crap and the ads, which believe it or not some users take as a feature.

But that's not inherent to Android TV as an OS, it's exactly like Android phones and manufacturers preloading a bunch of crap to make an extra buck. If your run AOSP you get none of that crap, and it's fully open-source.

 

Neat little thing I just noticed, might be known but I never head of it before: apparently, a Wayland window can vsync to at least 3 monitors with different refresh rates at the same time.

I have 3 monitors, at 60 Hz, 144 Hz, and 60 Hz from left to right. I was using glxgears to test something, and noticed when I put the window between the monitors, it'll sync to a weird refresh rate of about 193 fps. I stretched it to span all 3 monitors, and it locked at about 243 fps. It seems to oscillate between 242.5 and 243.5 gradually back and forth. So apparently, it's mixing the vsync signals together and ensuring every monitor's got a fresh frame while sharing frames when the vsyncs line up.

I knew Wayland was big on "every frame is perfect", but I didn't expect that to work even across 3 monitors at once! We've come a long, long way in the graphics stack. I expected it to sync to the 144Hz monitor and just tear or hiccup on the other ones.

 

All the protections in software, what an amazing idea!

 

It only shows "view all comments", so you can't see the full context of the comment tree.

 

The current behaviour is correct, as the remote instance is the canonical source, but being able to copy/share a link to your home instance would be nice as well.

Use case: maybe the comment is coming from an instance that is down, or one that you don't necessarily want to link to.

If the user has more than one account, being able to select which would be nice as well, so maybe a submenu or per account or a global setting.
