Me. $350 off and $100 worth of storage upgrades on a Pixel 9 pro was worth it for me. Phones now are expensive as fuck but getting a ~40% discount on a brand new product made it easier to accept.

Telegram’s server side software is closed source, owned and ran by them exclusively so they really have no room to talk. WhatsApp doesn’t even have OSS clients so they’re even worse in that regard

Here’s one I have saved in my shell aliases.

nscript() {
    local name="${1:-nscript-$(printf '%s' $(echo "$RANDOM" | md5sum) | cut -c 1-10)}"
    echo -e "#!/usr/bin/env bash\n#set -Eeuxo pipefail\nset -e" > ./"$name".sh && chmod +x ./"$name".sh && hx ./"$name".sh
}
alias nsh='nscript'

Admittedly much more complicated than necessary, but it’s pretty full featured. first line constructs a filename for the new script from a generated 10 character random hash and prepends “nscript” and a user provided name.

The second line writes out the shebang and a few oft used bash flags, makes the file executable and opens in in my editor (Helix in my case).

The third line is just a shortened alias for the function.

It’s because the original image macro that this is based on was about piracy, saying something along the lines of “I bring a certain ‘just torrent it’ vibe to the conversion that the riaa just doesn’t like.”

Their reuse of the macro is indirectly an answer or a continuation of it that can be seen as acknowledging the original message.

Even if you need something just once, just install it and then uninstall it, takes like 10 seconds.

apt install foo && apt remove foo

That’s essentially what nix-shell -p does. Not a special feature of nix, just nix’s way of doing the above.

Actually using it though is pretty convenient; it disappears on its own when I exit the shell. I used it just the other day with nix-shell -p ventoy to install ventoy onto an ssd, I may not need that program again for years. Just used it with audible-cli to download my library and strip the DRM with ffmpeg. Probably won’t be needing that for a while either.

The other thing to keep in mind is that since Nix is meant to be declarative, everything goes in a config file, which screams semi-permenant. Having to do that with ventoy and audible-cli would just be pretty inconvenient. That’s why it exists; due to how Nix is, you need a subcommand for temporary one-off operations.

Ah you’re probably right about the mobile clients. I’m not a mobile watcher really. I can say though that the jellyfin desktop app and jellyfin mpv shim both have skip-intro integration, though I’ve only tested it with jellyfin MPV shim.

Skip-intro is an unofficial plugin ATM but can vouch that it works decently well. Can’t compare it to the Plex implementation since it has been quite a while since I’ve had Plex deployed.

Hallelujah!

Newsgroup.ninja, because I support fellow ninjas and pirates.

Have a backup block on Usenet Farm which I’ve basically never needed.

Not trying to out myself, but I may be one of the few people that actually owned that shirt lol

Kopia repo on a separate disk dedicated to backups. Have Kopia on my servers as well sending to my local s3 gateway and second copy to wasabi.

Today’s episode of Veronica Explains is brought to you in part by corporate greed.

Less than 5 seconds in and I already know I’m going to like this video.

Well that’s disappointing. I’ll have to investigate further I guess. I was really hoping to set it up (at least initially) without any type of media storage.

so I assumed someone would probably have subscribed before me

I think the community is very new, so there’s a decent chance you were the first. As to the overloading problem, it’s certainly possible. Lemmy.world has a ton of users, and while I know ruud is dedicating a lot of resources to your lemmy instance, it just may not be enough to keep performance great. There’s been a lot of reports of performance problems by both lemmy.world users and federation problems between .world and other lemmy instances, most likely from being overloaded. You might try setting up a secondary account on another instance if you’re inclined, can’t hurt. Then at least you’ll be able to compare. Mine is on sh.itjust.works and everything has been pretty decent for me since the latest software upgrade, just as a point of reference.

Sorry for my cluelessness, I’m new to the fediverse

No worries mate, we’re all new here. I’m still getting used to things too.

Oh, I forgot it even had an invite code. It’s been quite a while since I registered. Thanks for reminding me!

probably ee3(dot)me. It’s register only though, and somewhat limited selection. No ads though

Thanks bot, but you weren’t needed in this particular case. You’re a Good Bot though.

how can that be if others from this instance have already subscribed?

How certain are you that the community was already subscribed to? You may be the first person on your instance to subscribe there. If that’s the case you’ll only be seeing anything posted after you subscribed.

That is, unless Faceman is correct, in which case lemmy.world will eventually backfill content when it can.

For example, I’m seeing three posts there on both my instance and when I visit https://feddit.nl/c/trendingcommunities. I’m fairly sure that when I first subscribed I could only see the first post, but definitely not sure that’s the case.

Oh I see, I definitely misunderstood what you were asking. How is your caddy server set up? Is it serving one site per subdomain (site.your.domain) or is it one site per path (your.domain/site/)? I am running traefik so I probably won’t be able to help with specifics, but it’s worth a shot.

Oh that’s interesting, that’s the first I’ve heard of it. I wonder how one would go about testing if that works.
