From the related post linked by op, it’s described as just a portion of the managed instance hosting fee going back to the project devs. So if you pay them to host a lemmy instance, a small cut goes to Lemmy devs. Doesn’t seem sketchy at all. Seems to have nothing to do with monetizing the instance itself, which could be funded by voluntary donations as normal or you could probably do membership fees as some instances do. It seems this is just about giving funding to the software devs. Hopefully this encourages other managed hosting providers to also give a cut of their revenue to the software they are using for their business.

I’ve been happy with the tp link TV-IP324PI, it’s a Poe bullet cam with a simple web interface (I don’t think it requires JS, but at any rate you just need to log in once to set a password, make sure upnp is off, and adjust camera/encoding/fps/text overlay settings to your liking). There’s also the amcrest IP5M-B1186EW-28MM, another similar Poe bullet cam with night vision that works local only. I’ve used both for several years and I think they support onvif but I had no issues using the rtmp url with zoneminder

I think they mean something like widevine a la Netflix. Granted there are bypasses for some levels, but that could be a problem imo, iiuc that’s why there aren’t any alternate frontends for Netflix or HBO. I think that would also potentially mean issues playing YouTube in chromium or firefox on Linux if they used L1 (not sure what the current state of widevine on Linux is, last time I had Netflix I couldn’t watch on Linux and had to use my phone or Chromecast)

Maybe you’re thinking of the Egypt Coastal Highway that they expanded over a beach?

I feel like I remember seeing a before and after but I can only find a good after pic now: https://i.redd.it/9mx2c8bgtb4b1.jpg

Also related to Batman is bmx, such as bmx6. I forget if it’s separate or something that works together with batman it’s been a while since I touched it

That’s just how Place has always ended, with an automatic random white tile placement that slowly erases everything.

Does that include free games like trackmania? I literally only used my Ubisoft account for that but I never purchased it since it was free

It’s hit or miss but in my experience as long as you can find one with the same release group as the video file you have it should sync up

You can even use stories in signal, though I turned it off in settings and have forgotten since launch that it exists until this post reminded me.

Nice tip, though don’t forget to share some trackers too, I’ve been stuck at 0% on a torrent someone shared as only the infohash. I’m guessing their DHT isn’t working, and despite adding trackers, without knowing what trackers any of the other seeds are using it’s just a guessing game adding open trackers blindly, or a waiting game hoping I can find peers using DHT.

Ubuntu 22.04 with docker, no issues it’s pretty barebones and easy to manage / update

I would recommend getting a separate client radio device for several reasons:

• You can position it better for reception
• Get a device with directional antenna so you can point it at the best AP
• You won’t use up 1 band of a dual-band router
• You won’t be limited in your main router firmware choice to only those that support client mode on a radio

Personally I would get a nanostation loco 5ac (non-loco is bigger and probably isnt needed) and flash openwrt on it (that will free any airmax radio from the proprietary airmax limitation), configure the 5GHz radio to client mode with the apartment wifi details, and put in the desired mac into the mac field if you need a specific mac besides the device default. Make sure the radio is set to wan zone so that forwarding works and plug the lan cable from the radio to the WAN of whatever nice router you have.

I used to carry around a nanostation with this config set to xfinity access points with a small script that would pick a random MAC from a list I gathered from wardriving client MACs that I saw authenticated with xfinity hotspots. That way if I ever needed an ethernet connection for a non-wifi device I could just power up the radio and run the script to pick a new mac until I got one that was “remembered” in someone’s xfinity account.

Edit: to clarify, I think the way I set it up was to run dhcp client on the radio’s uplink and then hand out IPs via dhcp server on the lan port, so I think you’d be triple natted, but since you would need to double nat anyway to get around the MAC authorization it probably isn’t hurting speeds any more than it already would be.

Same issue is why mastodon needs your origin server to be online to migrate to a new server. In both cases, federating a public key for the server or accounts would allow either to pop up at a new domain and prove it has the authority to migrate links to the new location.

With activitypub all involved servers also replicate the content so I’m not sure what distinction you’re trying to make. That’s why we can still see all the communities, posts, and comments on the servers that are still online.

This container is great, I use it for my arrstack. If the VPN connection goes down, the container infinitely restarts until it can get a connection again.

I’m miffed that mullvad did away with recurring subscriptions, so you have to remember to refill the account if you have stuff relying on it.

If you use the older Chromecast dongle that doesn’t have android TV and no remote (the circular ones) you should be able to use castblock to auto mute ads and automatically press the skip button as soon as it shows up. It also has sponsorblock support so it will auto skip sponsor segments too. You just have to run the program on the same network with flags specifying you want it to mute ads, skip ads, and give it the list of sponsorblock segment types to skip and it’ll auto detect any Chromecasts and do it’s auto skipping and muting magic

I think the best solution right now for older Chromecast (ones without a dedicated remote) is running castblock on a raspberry pi or something else attached to your network. It doesn’t block ads but it can automatically mute the chromecast volume when ads are playing, as well as automatically hit the skip button when it shows up (maybe like 5% of the time it misses both but still better than nothing). It also looks up sponsor segments from sponsorblock and detects when a sponsor is about to play and can skip those too. It auto detects all Chromecast on the network so all you have to do is run the program with the flags for what features you want enabled / what sponsorblock segments it should skip.

If you have a Chromecast with Google TV (with like a remote control and apps) I’ve heard smarttube-next is a good alternative app with ad blocking.

I’m not sure what works with TVs that have Chromecast built in, might also be smarttube-next. I only have the Chromecast ultra and the older standard Chromecast and castblock works great running on my pihole box

YouTube already normalizes down videos that are too loud, so the only problem is creators that make their videos too quiet because YouTube doesn’t boost quiet videos. You can see the details in the stats, it’ll show what the average volume was and what the correction was. I was thinking of making a program that automatically uses the average loudness to boost the volume using the stats provided by YouTube but I never got around to it.
