Filebot might help index those old files.

Do you have a folder that’s being shared? Some users only share with others who share.

You can also message the person and ask if they would be willing to make that folder public.

People monetize that??

maxprime ,

What about personal items?

maxprime , (edited )

Unless I’m going on a really long trip I never bring carryon. Just my small backpack with enough clothes for the trip (plus 2 socks and underwear). I feel like I should be given a cheaper [e] ticket for that.

Safe injection sites have existed in Vancouver for over 20 years.

Last time I checked iTunes (AKA Music) doesn’t allow you to burn tracks from AM.

And often the documentation is nowhere to be seen.

Awesome! There are so many good communities on Lemmy for Linux noobs and enthusiasts! Be patient, and take snapshots!

Tailscale!

maxprime ,

Well what’s nice is that any device on your Tailscale network has a WireGuard connection between any other device on that network. You can also use exit nodes. While all of that can be achieved with WireGuard, the complexity of that can grow quite large as you add more nodes.

lol imagine if Netflix made a show glorifying piracy

maxprime ,

In the early 00s I pirated a lot of music, but now I buy records and pay for streaming because it’s affordable and good.

I used to pirate software but now I just use FOSS because it’s free and good.

I used to pirate games but now I just wait for steam sales, which is cheap and good.

I used to pirate lots of movies and tv shows but then got a Netflix account and it was reasonably priced and good… until it wasn’t. Then I set up a full stack of usenet/ sonarr/ radarr/ overseer/ Jellyfin and boy oh boy is that good.

But now I have a baby and don’t watch tv anymore so I pirate pretty much nothing.

I was going to post this exact comment because I, too listen to the Linux After Dark podcast.

You’re not dumb you just haven’t needed that use case before.

Here’s an example of the last time JDownloader saved me. There was a website where people were posting archives of old skateboard videos. There were hundreds of links across dozens of pages in a forum. All links to sites like mega.

I was able to view all pages in one document and extracted all of the hundreds of links and put them in JDownloader. Over the course of the next several weeks JDownloader was able to manage those downloads without clogging my bandwidth. If a download failed it would notify me and I could retry it.

Can you imagine trying to do that in Firefox?

The Garden of Eden was based on The Galápagos Islands.

I’m kidding here, but the similarities are odd. The weather is always between 70F and 85F all year round. The biggest threat to you on the island are apples. You shouldn’t eat the apples that grow on the island; the small green ones are poisonous. Oh, and it isn’t easy to immigrate there. It’s a place where only few...

Were there people exploring the Galapagos in 1000 BCE?

I think a lot of people also misuse the word and use it as a catch-all for companies doing something they don’t like.

Raising prices is not enshittification, that’s inflation.

Not paying employees well is not enshittification, that’s under-compensation.

YouTube putting more ads in their videos including when the video is paused isn’t enshittification that’s… wait no that is enshittification.

Enshittification refers to offering the same service (often free, or at least with an option to pay more) but making it worse in order to squeeze you onto a paid (or higher paid) tier of service. This sounds good to shareholders but ultimately it alienates their customers and often leads to a company dying.

I think that was the goal.

The fediverse Goodreads alternative: Bookwyrm ( bookwyrm.world )

If you are interested in sharing book recommendations with other, or just manage your books, then bookwyrm is great for that! The .world team also has a bookwyrm instance up and running at bookwyrm.world with a community here on lemmy as well at !bookwyrm. Read Ruuds original post about it here: https://lemmy.world/post/5904792...

maxprime ,

I tried so hard to get into Bookwyrm and joined several instances but it really holds no candle to Goodreads in terms of number of users. A single book that is not even that popular will often have hundreds or thousands of reviews on Goodreads. Like this book:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42863088

vs

https://bookwyrm.social/book/629446/s/mathematics-for-human-flourishing

I think that a lot of book nerds have been using Goodreads for years and are unaware and not looking for of fedi alternatives.

Is it necessary to cross post this so many times?

maxprime ,

I disagree that the different communities have distinct user bases. I don’t have data to support my claim, but one can assume there is a lot of overlap between the communities privacy, privacyguides, and [email protected]. Perhaps technology has a non-empty symmetric difference with respect to the other communities.

I for one was a little annoyed seeing the repeated links in my feed. It’s something that happens a lot on Lemmy which makes me want to come here less often. Perhaps a solution would be to combine cross posts into one post with links to the cross posts.
