  • Why do people host RSS?

    Jump

  • I integrate Miniflux with readeck, which is then combined with a readeck plugin for koreader, allowing me to easily read articles on my ereader, without relying on a paid service.

    I'm also one of those people that still uses custom ROMs on Android, and since the backup and restore situation is still kind of dire if you don't use Google (and sometimes even with) it's easier to have most of my configuration and state stored on a server, and so I can wipe a phone with relatively little risk.

  • Australian electric vehicle sales more than double since outbreak of war in Iran

  • I'm pretty sure it's satire, but looks like it didn't land well.

  • [Meme] Going outside for a walk be like.

    Jump

  • This could easily be in Australia too.

  • Arch Linux is a Tamagotchi for IT nerds

    Jump

  • I know this wasn't your main point, but I never found Gentoo to be unmanageable, just that compiling everything can get a bit tiresome.

    I'd still be using it were it not for NixOS, and declarative system management in particular.

  • auto reboot at 9am?

    Jump

  • This line:

     
        
${pkgs.coreutils}/run/current-system/sw/bin/reboot

    is incorrect, as you've mixed a package path with an absolute path. Additionally, on my system at least, reboot is a part of pkgs.systemd and not pkgs.coreutils.

    So this should work:

     
        
${pkgs.systemd}/bin/reboot

    Or, since systemd is always installed on NixOS systems, you can use the absolute wrapper path:

     
        
/run/current-system/sw/bin/reboot

  • Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media

    Jump

  • You could use tailscale or netbird. Alternatively, you can use a dynamic DNS provider which usually provide free subdomains, if you don't want to pay for a domain. And even with all of that, Jellyfin doesn't require HTTPS, although there may be clients that do (make sure you're behind a VPN in this case).

  • Where my klitoris users at?

    Jump

  • RPCS3 is similarly awkward to read and spell.

    And ncmpcpp, which makes sense as it's about 2 or 3 different forks from the original so the name got increasingly out of hand.

  • Was Aunty mean to Gina?

    Jump

  • I can't find it either, but maybe they reminded people of this:

  • How do you pick your hardware?

    Jump

  • The only annoyance for this approach is that these dongles tend to be proprietary, and you might not even be able to get a replacement if it's lost or damaged depending on the model.

  • GE-Proton11-3 Released

    Jump

  • It's possibly a pipewire issue, which seems to get in a bad state sometimes (particularly after resuming from suspend/hibernation) and results in symptoms like this.

    You can try:

    systemctl --user restart pipewire wireplumber pipewire-pulse

    Assumes you're using systemd, and that pipewire is configured using a normal user. The names of the services could differ, and restarting all of those may not be necessary.

    Although, this assumes the issue happens with Steam and Heroic etc too. If it's just happening with faugus, it's probably a different issue.

  • How to prevent foot and knee pain after running?

    Jump

  • I'll add that spending some time on weight training to help strengthen the body in general may help reduce your injury risk, and is a good idea for general health in any case.

  • HR tracking for indoor workouts

    Jump

  • The way I handle it is with a Garmin watch using GadgetBridge, with the HRM in turn synced to the watch. No cloud connection is needed (and indeed, I've revoked consent to any data upload).

    Of course, this costs additional money since you need a supported GadgetBridge watch. There does look to be initial Polar H10 support if you're willing to switch to a different HRM, which would be cheaper than getting a watch, although that may be worth it for the additional data etc.

  • The weirdest issue I've fixed so far

  • Thanks for drawing attention to this. I've been having issues with finicky gamepad hotplugging of late and I suspect this is the cause.

  • Job system broken for workers, booming for private equity, report says

    Jump

  • Labor in the Hawke-Keating era started this off, unfortunately, although Howard certainly finished the job.

    This whole neoliberal mindset is deeply embedded in most politicians of a certain age who all fully bought into the idea since it became dominant in the 1980s and have been slow to abandon it (even amongst those that are acting in good faith).

  • [AIT] paperless-ngx 3.0.0

    Jump

  • I had a quick look and the AI features that are added:

    • LLM driven tagging suggestions
    • Remote OCR (Azure AI)

    They do look to be optional at least. I'd probably be a bit more concerned if the code was largely written with LLMs, given the large number of commits in what looks to be only a few months.

  • Nope, but I hope this pans out. I've been using Sway for a few years, and while I don't mind it, I've always preferred XMonad's window management and configurability. exwm outside of X11 would also be nice.
