Hyprland is now fully independent!
  • I'll quote Vaxry from his blog:

    "Obviously, the fact that I am banned from contributing to Freedesktop - and by extension wlroots, is another big factor, and probably the one that finally tipped the scales, because I am no longer allowed to participate in discussion or contribute code to wlroots."

    "I definitely am not a fan of how seemingly weak people online, especially teenagers, have become. Words are just words. Someone calling another person a "retard" shouldn't really be a big deal."

    "I said:

    if I run a discord server around cultivating tomatoes, I should not exclude people based on their political beliefs, unless they use my discord server to spread those views. which means even if they are literally adolf hitler, I shouldn't care, as long as they don't post about gassing people on my server

    that is inclusivity

    Which I definitely stand by."

  • Hyprland is now fully independent!
  • Fair enough

  • Hyprland is now fully independent!
  • In other words, Vaxry is so unwilling to compromise or learn from others that he would rather isolate his project from the broader FOSS community. That says a lot about him and the people who support him, especially since this conflict with freedesktop.org started over Vaxry condoning hateful trolling of trans people within the Hyprland community.

    This is a problem for me as a Hyprland user because if I share some rice I made or make suggestions for other users, I'm leading people into a community that may be actively hateful towards them. It utterly extinguishes any enthusiasm I have for the project. I like the software but I'd rather be part of a project and a community that I can feel good and excited about. Maybe time to find a new tiling Wayland compositor.

  • "Ranma ½" (Remake) New Key Visual, PV
  • I read the manga a long time ago and I thought it was fun but it got so repetitive and formulaic that I got completely bored and stopped reading it like 8 volumes in IIRC. Will probably give this adaptation a try, maybe that aspect will be improved.

  • What do you prefer to selfhost?
  • Thank you, I wasn't sure if that video was re: Traefik or VPN. I appreciate the suggestion.

  • What do you prefer to selfhost?
  • How did you set up a VPN to securely connect to your services over the internet? I have looked for guides to do this and haven't had much luck. I would really like to implement this in my setup.

  • What do you prefer to selfhost?
  • I self host jellyfin, nextcloud, owncast, tandoor, komga, photoprism and searxng. I use nginx proxy manager for a reverse proxy and SSL cert automation. Works great for me but I would like to get into traefik sometime.

    I self host for privacy reasons, also it's fun, it's a learning opportunity and sometimes self-hosted services are functionally better than the other options out there.

  • Bye Bye, Earth - Episode 1 discussion
  • "Army of Insatiable Emptiness"

    sounds like us who watched too much anime

  • "Sanda" Anime Adaptation Announced with Teaser Visual
  • I would take this as a joke except it's Science Saru so basically guaranteed to be good

  • Sharing music collection easily?
  • Jellyfin is ideal for privately sharing music. Plex is similar but not FOSS.

  • Video playback in mastodon mobile app
  • That's funny, my phone is kinda small so I had to scroll that horizontal menu with the download button, over to the right to access that button 😆 Thanks for the screenshot

  • Video playback in mastodon mobile app
  • I also ran into that issue the other day. Did you file a feature request for that? If you didn't I will. In general though I really like Moshidon. The video player functionality I want is not available in any mastodon client app except for Fedilab technically, but its implementation is still very primitive for now.

  • Video playback in mastodon mobile app
  • That's awesome, nice work! I just tried out Tesseract and it seems to work quite well. Feel free to leave some links where people can try it or contribute to the project, if you like.

  • Video playback in mastodon mobile app
  • True. A lot of things could be improved with the design, this is really just to visualize the core concept. I was also thinking a play/pause button on the pinned player would be good.

    Getting fancier, maybe double tap on the right of the pinned player to skip forward 15 seconds would be sweet for skipping ad spots, and when you go the original post, the video could be fixed to the top of the page while you scroll into the replies.

  • Video playback in mastodon mobile app

    I mocked up a better workflow for video in a mastodon mobile app. I'm not a developer, just a mobile user who wants to stay in their fedi app of choice (currently Moshidon) while enjoying multimedia content and not get booted out to a web browser every time I want to watch a video or listen to a podcast. I still have no idea how difficult or feasible it is to actually implement this concept.

    I think it's very important for fediverse mobile apps to support audio and video streaming to integrate with platforms like Peertube, Castopod, Bandwagon (once that gets going), etc.

    A resource to get notified when certain open source projects change in a negative way?
  • I think participating in communities which are centered around discussion of open source software is the ideal solution. That could be on Lemmy, Mastodon, GitHub, Reddit, Discord, wherever devs and users congregate (and, whatever platforms you find tolerable). I think the information you are seeking is too varied and in some cases subjective to be captured and parsed by an automated tool. And it would be great if you could help others by posting in those communities about changes that you are unhappy with, so others can make informed decisions.

  • New "Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt" Anime Project Unveils Visual, Main Staff
  • It might be time for a rewatch of what will soon be "season 1". I liked PSG quite a bit when it came out. The animation is slick and creative, the soundtrack bumps and the humor is very irreverant. It was a pretty offensive and lizard-brained show but as far as I remember it was just kind of generally poking fun. I have a hard time picturing where they will take the new season though as the first one was kind of a hodgepodge with little direction.

  • Is it safe to automatically pull and update docker containers?
  • Agree, if you are running containers on a casual or "just for fun" basis then automatic updates are fine. But the more you or others depend on the service running, the more it makes sense to perform an update manually, when you have time to troubleshoot any problems that may arise. Or, even update on a test setup first to identify issues and then update on your production setup.

  • You can install, remove and update apps from Software Manager, so familiarizing yourself with that application is probably a good idea. You can customize the theme and behavior of the desktop in System Settings, which is fun.

  • Firefox Docker + VPN is so awesome
  • You know you can just request the desktop site on FB messenger and use it on your phone that way right?

  • Homelab Organization
  • Traefik is powerful and versatile but has a steep learning curve. It also uses code to control its configuration which is a bonus for reliability and documentation as discussed elsewhere ITT. Nginx proxy manager is much simpler and easier to use, may be a good one to get started with, but lacks the advantages of traefik described above. Nginx proxy manager does support SSL cert automation.
