What is the most duct-tape thing you've done to Linux? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, you kinda can disable suspend, but it will still cut off spdif transmission even then. Normally that wouldn't be an issue but my receiver is super old and takes its sweet time to start actually playing audio after it gets a signal

Got fed up of Pipewire suspending (old receiver takes ~2 sec to work again after spdif stream is cut) that now I auto-run aplay to play a silent .wav on loop

How do I enable sharpening for FSR? in c/[email protected]

You can use gamescope. There are keyboard shortcuts to modify sharpen filter.

Theres are some pretty massive archives already, including Flashpoint

Does this unicorn trackball mouse exist? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Every now and then my MX ergo would feel like that, I take it apart and place the plastic ball holder (just the actual plastic part, removing all electronics) in hot soapy water for a few minutes. It has 3 little ceramic bearings that even with regular cleanup end up gunking up. While wet, i use the ball to jog the bearings around, then rinse with isopropyl and let it dry. Feels as good as new.

jump pack, great vs automatons? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

I used to constantly run the jetpack with heavy armor and a laswr cannon.

I would jump in a base as my friends were circling a base, cut down the chaff around the entrance, switch to scorcher and take a priority target.

Worked really well but damn those rocket troops... They normally had the precision of a storm trooper, but they would curiously snipe me mid-flight with a missile to the chest and ragdoll me out of the base

Try duckdns, it doesnt nag you every month and it just works

NAS OS with a web UI in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

I dragged my feet for over 2 years after building my homelab and not putting proxmox. I highly recommend you start out with proxmox right away. It has its quirks and learning curve, but it's been a breeze after "getting it".

At first I didn't want the files inside LXC filesystems because I was used to manually poking at folders and such. But the periodic backup and restoration that gives you its the best, bar none.

I rebuilt my setup after a faulty data cable destroyed my btrfs raid0 filesystem (I know, I knew it was dumb, but I had 8tb at my disposal and I wanted to use it dangit!). Long story short, my borg-based Nextcloud AIO backups were borked and took like 3 days of research and external drive juggling to get some of the stuff out of them. With proxmox it's a single click to get the whole thing back up and running.

Also you can use helper scripts as a sort of appstore, including turnkey appliances

PSA: Grayjay is really good in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My only gripe with GrayJay is the lack of proper rotation support. On a phone might be fine, but on a bedside tablet I'd like to be able to use the whole thing in landscape orientation. And no, the experimental landscape mode under options refuses to rotate the main feed screens..

Bonus points if it'd allow me to use the 180° rotation so I can leave the tablet upside down on its stand and charge it while using it

Think of it as a very generous unlimited trial, kinda like winrar but without the nag screen.

Why is Google takeout so bitchy? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

You could try a download manager like DownThemAll on Firefox, set a queue with all the links and a depth of 1 download at a time.

DtA has been a godsend when I had shitty ADSL. It splits download in multiple parts and manages to survive micro interruptions in the service

Many games think my native resolution is wrong in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Used to be really finnicky but lately (last 6 months let's say) it's worked just fine. The only downside is that it might get hanged in the background and steam will show the game still running.

Funkwhale + Portainer? (www.funkwhale.audio)
 

Has anybody here managed to install Funkwhale using Portainer? I've already tried 3 times, first tried a template, but turns out the AIO container is deprecated, then tried modifying the default docker-compose and env files available on Funkwhale's repo, didn't work (couldn't run the required commands to create a user). Then I spun up a brand new debian 12 LXC container on proxmox, ran their quick install script and failed (something related to snapd, even though it was installed).

Up until now I've been an avid Navidrome user, but since we've been cutting some costs, Spotify had to go. Too late I realised Navidrome has no library separation: Even though you can have multiple users, they all pull from the same library, making it a mess.

I'm just looking for a simple deployment I can use either within my LAN or via TailScale, just for me and a few family members.

Suggestions on SBC media player (lemmy.world)
 

I'm looking for a media player/OS for an ARM SBC that can stream from my navidrome (subsonic compatible) music server, and be controlled via either a web GUI or an android app. I'd love to hear what you guys came up with!

Currently really happy with my setup, I'm using Navidrome as my music server, along with Ultrasonic as my phone client.

I've set up a (dumb/analog) speaker system on my workshop, and I'd like to be able to listen to music there, but I don't want to add a whole setup (be it an old laptop, or add kb/mouse, monitor and such) and my phone no loner has a 3.5mm jack.

I have a Raspberry Pi 3, an OrangePi Zero, and an OrangePi PC+. I'd rather use the zero or the PC+ since they're kinda unstable/wonky and I don't trust them anymore for stuff I want to keep running 24/7 (like pihole).

I'm open to testing other music servers (volumio maybe?) on my main homelab if that means having the ability to change the client/sink from the app/gui (something like what Spotify does, where you can pick from any client to stream to other clients/speakers)

Add HTPC capabilities to home server (lemmy.world)

My server is a regular pc hidden away behind the tv console, it's running ubuntu server and most services run inside docker.

One of the most used services is Jellyfin. It works reliably on all PCs but it's a mess on my samsung tv running tizen. I enabled developer mode and built jellyfin app for it, but depending on the codec or size, it'll buffer or skip audio and its getting really annoying.

How would you go about adding a jellyfin frontend (jellyfin media player) on the server itself, since I could plug in a 2m HDMI cable for video output?

EDIT: I should probably explain a bit better. The server has a Ryzen 3 3200G with integrated graphics, so video output itself would be trivial (just plug an HDMI cable to the motherboard output). Right now if I plug it in, I get a TTY since it's a server distro not intended to have a GUI. My question was more along the lines of how to set up the lightest graphical session to run jellyfin media player (probably via flatpak so it's independent of the OS environment).

In general it would be somewhat easy to set up a bare X/Wayland session and just launch the program, but the part I forsee being troublesome is the "newer" tech: surround sound (via e-arc) 4k and HDR. Right now, whenever I use the jellyfin tizen app, if it "likes" the video file (transcoding is disabled due to weak cpu) it works perfectly, 4k, HDR, 5.1... I don't have much of a budget or even space to build a secondary HTPC, although I do have a spare Rpi 3b... worst case scenario I could try something like OSMC, but I'd rather have a consistent UX (Jellyfin as the frontend for everything)
