After many years of absence, I am trying to get back into soulseek using Nicotine+.

Installed it through Flatpak on a debian based system. Application seems to work fine... except: clicking the "Add" button on the Shares pane of the settings menu does nothing. No dialog opens, no error message is shown, just nothing. Is it a known bug with an easy fix?

EDIT / SOLVED: appearantly when one logs into a remote desktop session, the file picker sometimes crashes. For anyone encountering same issues: login directly instead of remotely, or use suggested solve: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/file-chooser-does-not-open-for-flatpak-applications-f40-sway/126351/4

Does anyone here know a self hostable service (or a demo of someone else hosting it) which can split common .cbr filetype to a .cbz or other filetype to split the panels?

So for example the 1 image I put with this post, would be 8 seperate images (pages).

That would ideally somehow make the comic books readable on a (somewhat old) black and white travel-Kobo...

Was walking down the street the other day. Taking my Pfand to the shop to cash it in and go shopping. Broad day light, nice weather day after many ugly weather days so everyone is looking rather happy in general.

I pass by a local soccer club, lots of youths coming and going by bicycle, it must have been like 5 or 6 in the evening and it seems like one group just ended training and another is starting.

A sparkling white tesla drives up to the entrance of the club, while doing so: blocks the cycle path... was wondering why the kids had to be dropped off at the door with this nice weather.

Anyhow: car stops at the old clothes collection container, passenger gets out: it's a fit young woman (driver is a young man), she walks to the trunk of the car, casually takes out bags of trash and puts them next to the "old clothes" container. It's clearly not bags of old clothes, and she's no putting it in the container but next to it. She takes out a broken vacuum cleaner: casually puts it behind the container, between the soccer club and a small parking lot and a park.

I tell her this is not the place for that and ask her if she can load it in to her car again. She acts like she's from another planet and doesn't understand me. She knows perfectly well. See the guilt in her face. She stays silent, rushes back to the car seat. They drive off, I give the middle finger and a "you're a fucking wanker" sign. We meet again like 100 meters further where they have to stop for red traffic light. They try to ignore me and stare ahead, avoiding all eye contact. Not talking to eachother either. I don't start yelling or hitting the car or whatever, because I didn't wanna cause a scene at the youths/soccer club.

These were really very very "decent" and "normal" looking people. Young, wealthy, healthy, white, with a car. How hard is it to drive 4 minutes to the recycling plant at the edge of the city and dump your trash where it belongs for practically free?

"Normal" people who have dumped their trash where it doesn't belong: WHY?

Almost like jellyfin is trying to probe my mood or preferences

Hi, what's your setup?

I often listen to music through youtube on my phone connected to a bluetooth speaker. I use Newpipe, works very well. Then when I want to save a song or an album, there's the option for downloading (in newpipe itself) or on android for example Seal (works really well for downloading entire playlists and unselecting some sponsored video's from the playlist).

The hassle is uploading from the phone to my jellyfin. I've used File Browser, bit limited in options.

Then I thought I could use Syncthing to have some folder from my Android phone upload it automatically to my Jellyfin server (pc running dietpi), but it seems Syncthing is now discontinued on Android?

What I was first looking for was my own hosted yt-dlp with a mobile friendly UI, but that seemed quite difficult to get running.

Is there a way to turn off incremental search? Either Web UI or apps: search seems to send a search instruction to server for every new letter added to the search box. I'ld much rather type a few letters (I usually sort of know what I'm looking for) and then click send or whatever to fetch results only for that. Would improve performance a lot for me

Hi, my laptop got fried because of getting caught in the rain :(

I got a gaming laptop for work a few years ago, because appearantly the CPU AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX was about the best thing to be found for updating some ridiculously complicated excel power query circusses at work, according to the internet back then (i think I found that info on pc master race on reddit before the reddit-api-fall), and finding those CPU's in business laptops was rather difficult at the time. They were right, this CPU handled the queries like a walk in the park.

Is the AMD Ryzen 9 6900H* still a very good CPU for this kind of thing, or should I put in a lot more time investigating again, is there better cost-efficiency available now in other CPU?

Sorry if this is not a right place for this question. I'm usually not really a hardware guy. Just need a CPU that handles this Excel shit as fast as possible, preferably without locking up the entire machine and without being as noisy as an F16 getting ready for lift off. On "regular" work laptops with i5 or i7, these files can take literally over an hour to update.

For example on wikipedia for Switzerland it says the country has an area of 41,285 km². Does this take into account that a lot of that area is actually angled at a steep inclination, thus the actual surface area is in effect larger than what you would expect when looking onto a map in satellite view?

Use UBlock, sponsorblock, firefox, etc. Recently it broke again, some stupid permission to connect youtube to other google services pop-up is permablocking it and I can't be bothered investigating.

Go to FreeTube cause why not. Works rather well for how it works. Especially for listening to albums it is fine, for video it's often too slow.

They found a way to inject bullshit in there too, now? And basically everywhere.

Albums are sometimes uploaded as 1 long video. Those are fun. Often they're uploaded as all songs seperately and then there's a playlist which makes it 'the album'. They used to be okay too.

Not anymore. People started injecting bullshit videos within the playlists. No, Andrew fucking Tates bullshit is not part of this album. Fuuuu. ANDREW I CAN'T STAY FUCKING MOTIVATED BECAUSE SOME ARSEHOLE INJECTED YOUR BULLSHIT VIDEO INTO THE MUSIC PLAYLIST I'LD LIKE TO LISTEN TO WITHOUT YOUR BULLSHIT INTERRUPTIONS!

I need to work on permanently replacing youtube. It no longer serves its purpose (for me of listening to albums) reliably.

Hi, First, is it possible to set the steamdeck to "default" to always keep picking the steamdeck speaker as default audio out also when an HDMI is connected through the USB-C? I have an old monitor (VGA to HDMI to USB-C haha) and would be easiest to still just output audio in the steamdeck speaker by default. It is easy to switch audio outputs in desktopmode, not in gaming mode unfortunately can't switch to steamdeck speaker there, doesn't work.

Second, how do y'all combine music and games? I prefer to play games while listening to youtube full albums (freetube or similar) in background. Doesn't really seem to integrate well in gaming mode either? Tried adding Monophony and Freetube as non-steam games, but not very succesful. What's your suggestion for optimizing the setup?

Sorry for the noob-questions. Pic unrelated, sort of.

is actually a rather nice promise to give someone in the USA: "we'll treat your wounds, you'll receive basic health care services from us"
