So my first thought is: Download the entire file BEFORE watching it. This ensures that you won't have to buffer while watching and it'll run 100% smoothly.

Downloading files isn't very difficult generally; just go to some (torrenting) website, copy the magnet or download the torrent and import it into your torrent client.

When you have your .mp4, .mkv, .whatever file, you can simply click on it and play it on your preferred media player (such as VLC). However, you may want to watch it on some other device... Easy solution (for TVs) is just connect your laptop to your TV with an HDMI cable, duplicate your screen and start watching.

But if you actually want to stream, you'll have to tread into the self-hosting zone. Meaning that you run a media server that hosts all your content and your devices (whether it's a TV, android phone, iPhone, whatever) can access and play the content from your server.

This is a very, very big topic that I won't cover in a single comment. I will point you in the right direction and mention Jellyfin; Jellyfin is a free, open-source media server that you can set up to manage and stream your files with

So the price to kill someone is 4.75 million? Got it.

As long as the actual people in charge (read: CEO, CTO, CFO, anyone else on the board of directors and any other executives) aren't held directly responsible with a proper punishment that isn't payment, the killing of people is literally just a fee of 4.75 million dollars.

If you just want to track your data for yourself, without the social media features (like Strava has), I would recommend Opentracks.

I considered voting for them, but I didn't.

The reason is because there are other parties with comprehensive plans for digitalisation / IT stuff PLUS lots of other plans for healthcare, economy, infrastructure, etc.

Pirate party seems like a party focused on IT stuff only, whereas I also care about other topics, such as international trains, subsidizing healthcare, improving education and lots of other things.

(I voted for Volt Nederland BTW)

So this woman is jailed for live streaming the truth?

Sounds good, but they first need to actually deliver the jets, because this is otherwise pointless.

I think they could add a tag system, where the user enters their interests as a tag and then Loops shows all the content that shares the same tag.

Yes, it's more effort than TikTok, which automatically guesses what your interests are, but I think it's still a good, privacy friendly alternative.

This is fucking hilarious

I wanted to watch Game of Thrones, but I couldn't, because there was no legal streaming service available back then. (This was in 2015 or something).

That's when I discovered the Pirate Bay and its wonders..

Does this eBook downloading thing affect the rest of the Archive? Like, will the entire archive be affected or just the OpenLibrary part of the Archive?

I'm on PC and I haven't noticed anything changed. Literally. I don't notice any bugs nor have I noticed a sudden improvement of my graphics. It seems to me that the 15gb that Steam downloaded, was just full of 0's and don't do anything.

Edit: Nevermind, apparently the new quests and items are part of the update, so in that case I have definitely noticed something lol.

Yeah, I mean, I:

  • Eat at least three times per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner)
  • Exercise three times per week (in the gym, lifting weights)
  • Sleep at least 7 or 8 hours per night
  • Go outside every day
  • Have a skincare routine (although it's not much)
  • Brush my teeth twice per day (after breakfast and before going to sleep)
 

I don't think that we're in a simulation, but I do find myself occasionally entertaining the idea of it.

I think it would be kinda funny, because I have seen so much ridiculous shit in my life, that the idea that all those ridiculous things were simulated inside a computer or that maybe an external player did those things that I witnessed, is just too weird and funny at the same time lol.

Also, I play Civilizations VI and I occasionally wonder 'What if those settlers / soldiers / units / whatever are actually conscious. What if those lines of code actually think that they're alive?'. In that case, they are in a simulation. The same could apply to other life simulators, such as the Sims 4.

Idk, what does Lemmy think about it?

 

I'm considering adding an SSO process in front of my self-hosted apps such as Nextcloud, Calibre-Web and Immich. The thing I'm thinking about, is do I need to make two accounts for each user I want to add? If I have a new user, do I need to make an account for both the SSO provider and the protected app such as Nextcloud? Or does Nextcloud (or some other app) automatically create a new account upon the first authentication with the SSO provider?

Also, which SSO provider do y'all recommend? I would like to have one with a web UI where I can manage the users :)

 

The lawsuit argues that Google has effectively ‘bought’ the UK mobile phone search engine market. Google forced mobile phone handset manufacturers to pre-install the Google Search and Google Chrome browser apps on devices that use Google’s Android operating system in order to obtain a licence to use Google Play.

Google also unlawfully paid billions to Apple to ensure that it was the default search engine on iPhones and other devices that used Apple’s iOS operating system. In 2019, Google paid £1.2 billion to Apple in the UK to be the default search engine on the Safari browser.

It is claimed that Google has used its market dominance to effectively charge advertisers over the odds. Costs were then passed on to such an extent that all consumers ended up paying higher prices for goods and services sold by brands that have advertised on the platform.

 

I currently take my phone with me while running, but it's very annoying to take imo.

Like the title says, is there a privacy friendly smart watch that could track my sport activities?

Bonus if it can also sync the data to my private server / NAS :D
