Fair enough, thanks :)

since swapped to PieFed’s software and have been finding it to be a much better match for me and my personal usecase

How do you find it for day to day usage? We're exploring having that be an option, but have also heard that it "isn't quite ready yet"

I was just curious if there was a cooking community hosted on the Lemmy.ca instance

I don't think so, although someone did set up [email protected] here. So far I've been using [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and similar communities

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

You both could check up on some resources local to him. Consulate address/phone numbers, registration with global affairs (not sure if this applies in his case), local organizations that could be helpful.

Even if he doesn't ever need it, it might give you both peace of mind

The automated migration notification is interesting, I assume it's everyone that was subscribed to the old one. How does it work?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago

People will scroll up and see the can anyway 😄

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

Very true, glad to have you here 😊

Honestly I've learned so much from here. There's not as much content, but the stuff that IS here is helpful

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

Thanks! It has been added

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

Facebook/Meta made itself to be the de facto method for accessing the internet in the region, and then refused to regulate its engagement-based algorithm as it fueled violence and unrest in the region

https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/09/myanmar-facebooks-systems-promoted-violence-against-rohingya-meta-owes-reparations-new-report/

Facebook owner Meta’s dangerous algorithms and reckless pursuit of profit substantially contributed to the atrocities perpetrated by the Myanmar military against the Rohingya people in 2017, Amnesty International said in a new report published today.

The Social Atrocity: Meta and the right to remedy for the Rohingya, details how Meta knew or should have known that Facebook’s algorithmic systems were supercharging the spread of harmful anti-Rohingya content in Myanmar, but the company still failed to act.

“In 2017, the Rohingya were killed, tortured, raped, and displaced in the thousands as part of the Myanmar security forces’ campaign of ethnic cleansing. In the months and years leading up to the atrocities, Facebook’s algorithms were intensifying a storm of hatred against the Rohingya which contributed to real-world violence,” said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.

If you have a moment, do you have any foods from Burma that you would recommend we try someday?

A few common issues:

"I'm not seeing all the content"

Lemmy allows you to filter out content based on the language, but some new users will set this incorrectly in their settings. Please see this post for help. You can also post in either this community, or [email protected] to ask for more help.

"I want to block posts with certain words"

It is possible to use uBlock Origin to do this in the web browser. See this post for detailed instructions.

 

I commented this in another thread, but thought that it could do with its own post.

It's a solid list to go off of if you want to pick a few to host. The link has more info on each, as well as which ones are non-profit / for-profit

Overview

Have some space computing power and want to donate it to a good cause? How about 10+ good causes at once?

♻️ put an under-utilized system to good use
🚲 use as much or as little CPU/RAM/DISK as you want
✨ 100% more soul warming than mining
📈 geek out over your CPU/disk/bandwidth stats on the leaderboards

This is a collection of containers that all contribute to public-good projects:

  • networks: Tor, i2p
  • computing: boinc, foldingathome
  • archiving: archivewarrior, zimfarm, kiwix, archivebox, pywb
  • storage: ipfs, storj, sia, transmission

This v1 list was started by the ArchiveBox project, but it's open to contributions.

 

Ashley Chapman, chief operating officer at Ontario-headquartered Chapman’s Ice Cream, said in a statement circulating on social media that the family decided to take that measure for the rest of the year to maintain their prices.

Chapman said they wanted to do their part to support Canadians as U.S. President Donald Trump continues to threaten economic annexation, which Chapman called the “greatest threat to our sovereignty” since the Second World War.

Learned about it from this post: https://lemmy.ca/post/40592484

In a global first, Richmond, Canada-headquartered fusion energy company General Fusion achieved the first-ever plasma in a reactor driven by steam.

 

A small business owner in B.C. is demanding answers from one of the biggest companies in the world after his Google Business Profile was suddenly disabled without warning.

Jonathan Guy, a Navy veteran who has lived in B.C. for 17 years, is the owner of Chilliwack-based Veteran Heating and Cooling Inc.

Guy used his 15 years of experience in the HVAC industry to open Veteran in 2023, and things were going swimmingly until he received a message from Google on Feb. 6, 2025

“Google unexpectedly disabled our Google Business Profile without any prior warning or explanation,” Guy told Daily Hive. “We received an email stating that the account was disabled and no longer visible to customers.

“They hold an undeniable monopoly over online search and business visibility. Let’s be honest — show me a person who doesn’t use Google. The platform has become the ‘gatekeeper’ of customer traffic, revenue, and livelihoods. So, when Google makes an inaccurate or unfair decision, it can destroy businesses overnight. This affects not only owners but also employees, suppliers, and subcontractors who rely on steady work.”

“Approximately one month after submitting our appeal with all the required documentation, we received a rejection notice. We feel the suspension and the appeal decision were made by AI because a real person can easily research our company to see if it’s real. AI assumes that the business isn’t legit.”
