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."

Fair enough

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.

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.

Thank you, I wasn’t sure if that video was re: Traefik or VPN. I appreciate the suggestion.

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.

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.

“Army of Insatiable Emptiness”

sounds like us who watched too much anime

I would take this as a joke except it’s Science Saru so basically guaranteed to be good

Jellyfin is ideal for privately sharing music. Plex is similar but not FOSS.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 know you can just request the desktop site on FB messenger and use it on your phone that way right?

What are some artists in that vein that you do enjoy?

No problem, your opinion is valid! Do you like other hyperpop or experimental pop artists?
