Ok sorry, where I'm from saying you are "truly tired" of something implies you think it's bad.

Actual Budget is software. It can be run on a home server if desired.

"Smaller more personal stakes" doesn't mean something will be good, either!

Excuse me, were you talking to me?

This makes me glad that at least he was cast as a central character in a LD episode.

How can the Fediverse protect against AI slop? in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml
[–] Corgana@startrek.website 4 points 1 week ago

I have had similar thoughts, I think the answer ultimately lies in active mods that can really get to know a community and it's users and identify when users are pushing a narrative even if they can't confirm if they are a bot or not.

Also as @dessalines@lemmy.ml pointed out, user registrations. On startrek.website we have a question that is easy for a star trek fan to answer but not easy for a bot (although getting back to your concern, chatGPT probably would have no problem)

What advertising slogan would you give for Linux? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Corgana@startrek.website 6 points 1 week ago

lol I was going to suggest "it just works"

I would not have suggested that before this year but it's definitely true now, or at least truer than for Windows/Apple.

I hate to be that guy, but "they" (the people with power to change course) have absolutely listened and understood. They don't care.

Force windows games to recognize playstation controller? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

Some more popular games will have mods to make the Xbox buttons look like a DS4s buttons, buuuut if the game studio devs didn't create the assets then they didn't create them.

Mastodon rolls out built-in bylines for journalists in the fediverse (www.theverge.com)
 

I think this is a good incentive for Journalists to be more active on the fediverse.

Possible to have different desktop folders for different workspaces? (startrek.website)
 

I am a "messy desk" person and like to have a big open visual space for all the pseudo-temporary files belonging to whatever project I'm working on at a given time. It would be nice to have a workspace specifically dedicated for "work" and still be able to create a fresh one when needed, without having to "put all the work stuff away" first. I've found GNOME extensions that allow different wallpapers, which is great, but I would love to have an actual separate desktop, not just windows.

Bonus points if I could change the dock applications and GTK theme too.

Running Ubuntu 22.04, btw.

Sonarr-style auto-downloader for YouTube? (startrek.website)
 

I'm trying to be more mindful about my YouTube consumption, there are a lot of quality channels out there, but sticking to "subscriptions" is difficult when the YouTube app on my TV has so much distracting recommended content and shorts thrown at you, so I'd like to have a way to auto-download the content from specific channels to play later via Plex. I actually have YT Premium but plan on putting the money into the Patreons of my most-watched creators instead.

Features I'm looking for:

  • Automated downloading of new videos from specific channels
  • Ability to ignore/skip shorts
  • SponsorBlock if possible
  • Vimeo (and others) integration would be a huge plus too.
  • A way to easily add videos to a download queue manually (browser extension or something) for when I come across an interesting video in the wild" by someone I'm not subscribed to/don't want to subscribe to.

Things I've looked into:

  • TubeSync - returns 500 errors anytime it's indexing, which it does every day, meaning setup is very tedious. It's also frustrating to configure for every single channel independently, but (ostensibly) does what I'm looking for? I think?
  • TubeArchivist - Try as I might I just cannot get this up and running on CasaOS/Docker. Seems nice, but also looks like overkill for my use case.
  • YoutubeDL-Material - Struggling to get this installed too, but it also doesn't seem to have additional features like SponsorBlock.

Anything I'm missing or are these basically the main options for now? Would love something as simple as Sonarr.

USB drive for safe long term offsite backup with RPi? (startrek.website)
 

My goal is to create an simple offsite backup of my CasaOS setup using a RasPi 3b+ with external USB drive at a friend's house. Are there any recommended methods for doing this?

Also: what should I look for in an external hard drive as far as reliability goes for something that will essentially always be on? I'm not well versed in all the WD blue, red, etc. Does it matter?
