Thanks for the hint :) probably going to switch from SimpleX to this one :)

I would say they are all equally bad… But Facebook should take the crown: Cambridge Analytica

They know exactly what they are doing… Some dopamine hits for the road !

A blocky road ahead of you ! It will take some time, don’t try to speed up the process ! Remember the first time you started Windows on a computer ? It wasn’t easy at all ^^’ but now most people know how to start and use a Windows system.

Linux is great, linux is freedom and customization but linux is also a hell of another level of complexity.

It really takes 5min tops ! But only if you know what you are doing. Immich is not an easy compose stack for beginners. There’s also all the other stuff you have to take care off (backup? Behind proxy? Share with people outside your lan? …).

Having the compose stack up and running is just the first step ^^ but once you get the hang off, it’s fun and really cool stuff floating arround (navidrome, pihole, home assistant, newpipe, vaultwarden, jellyfin…)

It takes some time to get comfortable but don’t give up, it’s worth it !

Can’t exectly remember how or where but I had some chmod 777 -R going on on my setup on the wrong directory and everything seemed fucked up !

Was easier to fresh install instead of hunting some permission issue… Learned from that experience and still learning something new with perms on Linux !

My god how many times have I been through this… Living with debloated phone, hardened browser, VPN, Linux, sure isn’t easy every day :/// !

I totally agree, It shouldn’t be soo hard to value your own data/privacy and sometimes it feels like I’m fighting the wind.

Everything related to art (photography, movie, music, graffiti or whatnot…) Has to be none AI for me to enjoy. I put it on the same hate level as ads (radio, tv, internet…).

However, I found out how good it can be to help me out to put together some scripts in python or bash. Not because it’s good at doing those things but because I do not have time to learn proper python or bash :/. Though I do agree it only works well for small things.

Maybe, those who love AI generated art feel the same way as I do with AI generated code? 🤷‍♂️

Ugh… Movin Facial recognition, what a joke. I put them on the same level of stupidity as those who put Tesla’s AI chip in their brain.

Sad days for privacy and anonymity enthusiasts 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Yeah… After a user here on Lemmy pointed out that the AdGuard app on mobile made a lot of strange requests to ads services, I gave it a try myself with PCAPdroid and seeing all thoses requests made by only opening the app made me think twice about AdGuard…

Removed all their services from my network and a happy piHole + quad9 user since !

It’s very versatile and does a lot of things and I do like ffmpeg and use it a lot !

Too bad their AV1 and OPUS implementation is bad and even outdated for opus :( !

Not addicted but I love to show those low numbers from my degoogled android or Linux system compared to Windows and Apple 😁 !

It’s hard to explain what DNS is, but numbers everyone can understand them !

“You see all those number go up? In 1 day your device makes more blocked requests than my devies did in 1 month !”

More connected to nature? It’s called mother nature for good reasons… However, I would like to see more male friends see how powerfull plants and nature can be !

Plants and foraging knowledge FTW !

i ended up choosing GitHub primarily for the automated binary builds and releases through GitHub Actions. the Pro tier for students gives me generous build minutes, and the Trippy maintainers helped me get the release process set up properly

I’m not into programming so I wasn’t aware of this kind of argument and have no idea of all those Pipeline, release, automated binary process… etc ! I’m probably biased by my open source & self-hosted crusade but as long as you are aware of this stuff that’s allready a good point :))) (why wouldn’t you, you’re on lemmy :D) !

Congrats and thank you for sharing your project with the community ❤️!

Just a personal opinion, I think all new projects should be hosted on alternatives git hosting sites (something like codeberg :p). Specially project which have alot of already very well implemented and popular alternatives.

Yes, this will reduce visibility and probably reduce interaction. But if you’re on Lemmy you’re probably already aware of this… But it will also provide the switch to a more privacy respecting and competition to more agressive invading monopoly companies.

Another positive thing I can think of is that if there is a big GitHub exodus and popular alternative who need to switch their database/user base to an alternative hoster will lose a bit of momentum and users may come across your project :).

Good luck and keep it up 🙏💪

It’s everyday the year of Linux !

Cool stuff, thank you for sharing your project with the community ! It’s very cool and useful for people who just want a set and forget situation !

I stoped using yt-dlp frontends the moment I saw youtube actually serving upscaled opus media files (very visible line on a spectrogram). Also their metadata is totally fucked-up and not very well organized and full of shit (comments with huge spaces and non useful metadata…).

Sure, the metadata part is easily fixable with Picard MusicBrainz, but the quality downgrade was a huge no for me. Nowadays, I use nicotine, rutracker and private trackers to download FLAC quality files and transcode them to opus 192k to serve them in my Navidrome library with a well curated metadata structure !

Yes it takes way more time and some dedication but it’s worth it :) specially If you are some kind of perfectionist and like everything neatly organized ! 😁

More power to you for keeping the opensource community thriving !! Thank you !

Also when you accidentally create a directory called ‘~’ the command rm -r ~ is not the right one…

Ughh ! That one is nasty !

I’m prone to sleep paralysis when sleeping on my back… Very difficult to explain, but it’s a nightmarish feeling where you are sleeping and at the same time not.

It’s a very unconfortable feeling where you can’t wake up, shout or even move. Sometimes you can hear strange voices others may even see things (never happend to me tho).

It’s very scary shit, every night when going to bed, the first thing I do is put myself in a side position to avoid having again a sleep parlysis !!! It nearly happens every time when I fall asleep on the back position.

Yeah, some consider a room in a Prison a luxury resort 🤷‍♂️!
