81·15 days agoI recommend TeleSUR’s english-language live stream, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nN3vtMzxTo
Oddly it has only 45 people watching currently, and was under 200 viewers every time I was watching it yesterday 🤔
15 minutes of it are available here: https://archive.org/details/insidececot
2·1 month agoI can tell you that the GitHub code isn’t the code that’s used
really? given that the license is AGPL and they do have some external contributors, they shouldn’t be running an unpublished branch of the code!
5·1 month agolook at their responses in the .ml cross-post,
that post is now deleted, but you can see their modlog here
15·1 month agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outdoor_advertising#Regulations billboards are banned in several cities and, surprisingly, in four entire states of the US.
the correct spelling is zealand
fair point, i’ll try to refrain from it next time
I doubt it; it would be odd if they were named after a fictional Dutch-American :)
Dutch is the adjective for things from the Netherlands, and also the demonym for people from there. The demonym for Denmark is Dane and the adjective is Danish.
1 reason it’s wrong to me: https://nosystemd.org/
Under “Notable bugs and security issues” there is a big list of issues which were all (afaict) fixed many years ago.
There have been reasonable philosophical objections to systemd, some of which are still relevant, and as that site shows there are still many distros without it, but for the vast majority of desktop users who want something that JustWorks… using a mainstream distro with systemd is the way to go.
This blog post from pmOS covers some of the pain of trying to use KDE or GNOME without it.
Microchess was first commercially available in 1976, but chess software was being published long before that.

21·1 month agoWould be easier to know how old a kernel release is without looking it up.
I concur, but it would be much easier to make the major version the current year (as many projects do, and Linux should imo) rather than the whole project’s age at the time of a release.
Linux is only 34 years old, btw.

21·2 months agoDid you miss that OP mentioned they’re blind?
Here is that image you posted, but with manually-written alt text added.
(I don’t usually do this when adding alt tags but in this case I also added the same text as a title/tooltip to make it also easy to read for users without a screen reader. Apologies to screen reader users that this probably causes you to hear the description twice.)

it was about this photograph
Of course I went to the wikipedia article to get a link the actual image to post here, but, to answer your question: yes I did in fact remember what the photo looks like without looking it up.
I’d forgotten that the term was coined by Mike Masnick, though.

1·2 months agono transcoding quality loss
is jellyfin actually transcoding when people don’t want it to?!
otherwise, “no transcoding” doesn’t sound like a feature. transcoding is very useful when you actually need it, eg watching something remotely which is stored at a higher bitrate than your network connection can stream. one way to do it with mpv is ffmpegfs, btw.
(fellow mpv user here; i’ve only used other people’s jellyfin instances… but i’d be very surprised if they’re always unnecessarily transcoding everything they watch.)
