I haven’t noticed any performance issue so far. I think they use wasm which help with speed. Too bad it’s not open source, but the fact it’s developed by a single guy working on it full time is actually very interesting, considering the webapp is actually work better than some apps developed by bigger teams. It can even edit PDF and gif!

photopea.com is actually pretty great, much easier to use than gimp with similar (or even better) feature set.

You can enable it from settings -> remote control in SmartTube app. Also, if you’re using YouTube revanced, the cast button might be hidden because it was not functional. You can re-enable the cast button on YouTube revanced from revanced settings.

When casting a video, you’ll have to open the SmartTube app in your Android TV first because it’s not automatically launched when you hit the cast button in YouTube revanced. If it’s in the background or not yet running, the video won’t play.

Usually there is a flag to disable muted video autoplay on every major browsers: https://www.technipages.com/turn-off-video-autoplay-firefox-chrome/

Safari has it too: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/stop-autoplay-videos-ibrw29c6ecf8/mac

Eh, the core dev is a bonafide tankie though, which immediately apparent when you check his activities on Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad, but who cares. The software is open sourced, with plenty of contributions from people all over the world in the past few months. The moment the dev brought politics or other shenanigan into the software, it’ll going to get forked immediately.

I just tried installing SmartTube on my Chromecast Ultra today and found out it can pair with YouTube revanced. This fixed my number one issue with revanced where the cast button is not working.

According to this post they moved to njal.la . Looks like it was previously hosted at Hetzner.

It’s a piracy-related instance, right? Could be taken down by their host due to some complains. Lemmy.dbzer0.com had to migrate to another host a few days ago due to such complains.

OpenNIC is free, but pretty much almost no one use them. But I think lemmings would love them because of their open and democratic nature.

If you don’t want to pay, there are other alternative domain name system, like OpenNIC. The problem is, most operating system don’t recognize them so you’ll have to go out of your way to install them into your machine, which significantly limit their adoption.

Nvidia cards are mostly working fine these days as long as you’re not using Wayland. If you’re using Wayland, be prepared to encounter lots of minor annoyances, and perhaps some bugs that completely break your workflow depending what you’re using Linux for (e g. on server you don’t have to deal with sleep issues, but in desktop it’s an annoyance while on laptop it might be a deal breaker).

You could setup a status monitoring system and then configured it to send out messages for critical alerts. For example, I’m using Vigil to monitor my services and it’s configured to send email alerts when something is down and then sms alerts when things are still down for too long (in case I didn’t read the email).

Microsoft is probably considering to release an enterprise Linux product right now. Perhaps called Windows Subsystem for Enterprise Linux.

I switched to Dvorak keyboard layout almost 10 years ago and it stopped the growing pain on my wrists. Might worth a try. No need to change your actual keyboard, just set your keyboard layout settings in your operating system to Dvorak.

This is just a matter of personal preference, but I can’t stand libreoffice UI. It has more features but I don’t open office documents much, mostly just some basic spreadsheets, so I can get away with using a document editor with less feature but easier to the eye.

Every time I setup a new system, I always install these:

• vim
• zsh
• git
• rsync
• tmux
• mosh
• btop
• autossh
• mc
• direnv
• asdf-vm

If the system is a desktop/laptop for personal use, then I’ll install these too:

• virt-manager
• vscode
• firefox
• filezilla
• mpv
• yt-dlp
• kdeconnect
• onlyoffice

Finally, to IBM, here’s a big idea for you. You say that you don’t want to pay all those RHEL developers? Here’s how you can save money: just pull from us. Become a downstream distributor of Oracle Linux. We will happily take on the burden.

Oh shit, Oracle and IBM are going to duke it out. Where is my popcorn?

I see a new lemmy-ui docker image has been pushed an hour ago, tagged 0.18.2-rc.1. Anyone know if it fixed the issue?

Edit: yep, it’s fixed: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/commit/e80bcf53acb8ce25ed5ef6b7eb16b90f0b07e8f1

XSS is a blanket term for vulnerabilities that allows attackers to inject client-side scripts. Looks like someone is already identified and submitted a pull request that contain a fix: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1897/files

You would think an admin account would have 2fa enabled (unless the hack was due to a security issue in lemmy itself, but it doesn’t seem to be the case).
