That's an actual nightmare

And piracy sites.

What (free and open-source) applications do you use on a daily basis? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Syncthing (for obsidian notes, mostly. I know there are FOSS apps that do what obsidian does, but they just don't feel as good for my purposes).

LibreTorrent

Not that there's anything wrong with newpipe, just additional information:

Sponsor block is now avaliable on Firefox mobile app. It even works for YouTube videos that are embedded in other sites.

Gin? Genetics? Giant?

Do you pronounce Origin like Oregon?

I personally find arguing pronunciation as entirely pointless when there are many words in English that get pronounced different based on a multitude of factors.

People also like to argue it's an acronym, but do you pronounce NASA the same as you pronounce the first letter of each word of National Aeronautics and Space Administration?

Honestly? Just say it how it makes sense to you.

I have multiple one way syncs set up, I've never had any issues.

Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

My argument against this is that at least I own a license to the game rather than just a subscription. Steam still has and updates games that were made unpurchasable a decade ago. Hell, people still play rocket league on steam.

This is a separate argument altogether. Theres "own physically" and theres "own a license" to. If you own it physically and your physical media corrupts (which happens often to digital discs) did you own it any more than if you had it on steam? It's also illegal to make a copy of a console disc, btw.

What the article is talking about is not even obtaining a license for at all and games just being attached to a subscription

[es] Spanish government is working in a digital certificate to identify adults and avoid minors to access porn sites in c/[email protected]

I find tracking all individuals way more dangerous long term than the effects of unmediated internet use.

Parents should be more involved in children's digital use.

Does outlawing Marijuana stop minors from accessing it? No, I started smoking young. Does requiring an ID stop minors from drinking alcohol? I'm sure many of you will attest to underage drinking

However, tracking everyone doing everything, tracking whatever they say whatever they look at. That impacts everyone, not just minors.

Self hosted browser IDE that supports C# and runs on Windows (lemmy.world)
 

My server is still windows based, which I know is a bit of a sin at this point, but just bear with me please

There seem to be a few options avaliable, but I can't figure out if they all both support windows and C#, and a lot of the information I'm finding is linux specific.

Why? Well, I like to make little roguelikes and card battlers on my phone in pure c# code, it's a fun way to pass the time that isn't doom scrolling. A lot of my free time at work is spent sitting on a boat just waiting with no access to my PC

I've been using a C# ide on my phone, but Android as become such a fucking nightmare, most stuff seems locked down for some reason, and I can't access the local files to sync with syncthing to move it my PC when I do want to work with my PC.

So I'd like to use a browser based solution that will just store everything locally on my server

Sonarr not working? (lemmy.world)
 

It downloaded one episode of one show, so I know it's configured properly in that regard. It is connected to Ombi, qBittorrent, and Jellyfin.

Not sure why it's not fetching the rest of the media? Again, it got just a single episode of a single show and that's all it downloaded. I was hoping it would go after whole season downloads rather than individual episodes

Anyway to approach this issue?

File size preference for Radarr? (lemmy.world)

I only download 1080p unless it's something like LOTR that I'll splurge on space for. A comedy doesn't need spectacular visual fidelity.

Just downloaded a 44gb file for a 1080p version of Forest Gump, and I'm just kinda not interested in filling my hard drives with excessive file sizes. Noticed that some other films are 20gb and 13gb, etc, still way too big for what they are.

Any way to maybe have radarr have a file size preference? Like, for 1080p I don't need it to be any bigger than 3gb, and most movies can be 1.5gb and be fine

Edit: I have to say, I asked a beginner/basic question and no one here has tried to belittle me, or come at me with hostility, I've only gotten helpful advice. Thank you all!

I screwed up when I made my home server, just curious if there's a way out of the corner I've backed myself in (lemmy.world)

I work away from home for weeks at a time, and I hurriedly set up my server on my last day at home last month

I got a free PC, and a 10tb HDD. Lenovo uses a stupid special cable to run sata drives off the motherboard, I didn't know there were two sizes, bought the wrong size and said fuck it so I installed windows on the same drive and same partition I now have 4 tb worth of media

Now I want to move to Linux as my server OS, I got another PC that actually has the ability to run multiple HDDs

Can I access the files on this drive from another OS? Is there a way to keep these files without transferring it all to another HDD?

Remote Desktop solution that works without a monitor on host PC (Windows) (lemmy.world)
 

Windows user here, please don't shoot me

I'm in need of a remote desktop solution that works without a monitor. I've tried AnyDesk, TeamViewer, and TightVNC.

All of the stuff I have need of using has a GUI client or dedicated software, but I'm about to be away from home for a couple weeks and I'm worried it might shit out on me for one reason or another and need some manual input (any one who has ever used a computer knows that this happens sometimes)

I have OpenVPN on my router and that's how I'm accessing everything, so a local solution will work, and it would be nice, but not necessary, if it's got an Android client as well

I have Windows 10 Home so I can't use remote desktop that's built into windows without installing a cracked pro version of window.
