I visited the world’s first registered .com domain – and you won’t believe what it’s offering today
Saved you a click
Today, a quick visit to Symbolics.com will take you to what is essentially a web-based museum. In 2009, the domain was acquired by Aron Meystedt, a startup investor and founder of Napkin.com.

I always thought Marissa Meyer and Kathy Wood should have started a cryptocurrency together. Missed opportunity.
Your recommendations?
I want it for the build quality. My Lenovo Thinkpad just broke… again.
Anybody here use Asahi Linux?
What do you like about it?
What do you not like about it?
Is it a completely bonkers proposition to buy a refurbished M2 Mac only to wipe it and put Asahi on it?
It’s not ‘better’. They are completely different works. Both symphonies most well-known movements are the respective 1st movements. 5th’s first movement is powerful while the 6th is calm and beautiful. But the 6th symphony is known as the Pastoral and is wonderful, but very different than the fifth symphony.
On mobile which is why this reply is so short.
This was poorly executed. The National Park Service twitter account does jokes well.
You should ask @[email protected]. He seems to know all about this stuff.
Tool for Spotify recommendations based on your self-hosted music library
Music discovery tool that provides recommendations based on selected Lidarr artists, using Spotify or LastFM. - TheWicklowWolf/Lidify
I'm not the developer, but I thought I'd share this with the community. A pretty cool tool which reads Lidarr data and asks Spotify's API to return artist recommendations based on that data.
I was thinking about setting it up. What clients do you recommend for iOS and tvOS?
Is there an audio client for tvOS?
Swiftfin doesn't do audio for some reason and VLC doesn't reliably recognize UPmP.
There’s a spambot posting referral links so I made it a shitpost.
I don’t think it is. Sorry. The benefit of doing this is that if you have to reinstall Jellyfin or move your media library around at a later date, you’ll never have to worry about mis-identification in the future.
You want The Movie Database or The TV Database. Not IMDB. Once you renamed your folders and files properly, just rescan your library.
In order to help with identifying a series, Jellyfin can make use of media provider identifiers. This can be specified in your show's folder name, for example: Series Name (2018) [tmdbid-65567] or Series Name (2018) [tvdbid-65567] (imdbid is not supported for shows)

Open WebUI now has a docker environment variable so you can, by default, turn off the login page. You just declare it when you’re spinning up the container and you’re good to go.
That's really smart. I just found out about fabric yesterday and it is helping me with things like what you stated. Prompt engineering is a huge thing.
I'm sorry if I offended. I can't code or understand existing code and have always felt that technical people code. I guess I should expand my definition. Again, sorry that my words felt like a punch in the gut... wasn't my intention at all.
I use my phone all the time, but I just use a wireguard VPN to tunnel into my home container of Open WebUI. Then I can interact with my desktop machine using a NVIDIA gpu. I'm currently testing mistral-nemo. It's pretty great but it gets a bit verbose sometimes.
This made me smile. Thank you. The grass is always greener and I sometimes daydream of working in IT instead of healthcare. Maybe someday.
It's so great that there is so much ongoing development of these types of tools out there. I'm currently using openweb ui as my GUI but I'll give your suggestion a try next week. I haven't figured out a use case for stable diffusion except for creating new content for the shitposting community on lemmy lol. But if you have any ideas, please let me know... I'd love to test it out if I have a good use case.
Self-Hosted AI is pretty darn cool
I don't consider myself very technical. I've never taken a computer science course and don't know python. I've learned some things like Linux, the command line, docker and networking/pfSense because I value my privacy. My point is that anyone can do this, even if you aren't technical.
I tried both LM Studio and Ollama. I prefer Ollama. Then you download models and use them to have your own private, personal GPT. I access it both on my local machine through the command line but I also installed Open WebUI in a docker container so I can access it on any device on my local network (I don't expose services to the internet).
Having a private ai/gpt is pretty cool. You can download and test new models. And it is private. Yes, there are ethical concerns about how the model got the training. I'm not minimizing those concerns. But if you want your own AI/GPT assistant, give it a try. I set it up in a c
DAS filepath autoincrements up each time I reboot
I have a Qnap DAS. It is set up in a raid5 configuration. The problem is that each time I reboot my machine (ubuntu 24.04 LTS), the path of the DAS will auto-increment up by one.
For example the path will automatically go from media/raid57/medialib to media/raid58/medialib. That means I need to manually redo all file paths and then re-scan my entire media library for Jellyfin, each time I reboot my machine (which is like 2-3 times a month).
It is getting pretty annoying and I'm wondering if someone knows why this happens and what I can do to fix it.
How do you organize downloaded YT content?
I use yt-dlp to download and the YT metadata plug-in for metadata. But idk how to actually organize the actual files?
New reading spots
I live alone and read books. I mostly read them at home but I'd like to go out and read. The thing is I have really bad adhd so it involves not just my Kindle but I also listen to the audiobook at the same time or I can't stay focused on the book. I just listen to it on my phone with earbuds so it's hopefully not a huge deal but it can’t be too loud or chaotic.
Where can I go out and "read" besides a coffee shop or the library. The library isn't convenient and it's a little weird going to coffee shops over and over again. I live in a big city so I'm sure there are other places I just don't know what they are.
Any suggestions?
What movies & tv shows use Dolby Atmos really well?
Most shows that have Dolby Atmos don’t really do a great job of leveraging its capabilities but some do an amazing job.
Which movies/shows do you think have scenes where Dolby Atmos really adds to your viewing experience?
Uber Loses Bid to Topple California’s Gig Worker Status Law

Are there mobile apps for RedLib?
I’m thinking something similar to Yattee / Invidious.
iOS is preferable.

To those who got the Reddit/MorganStanley email... Are you gonna do it?
Asking because I got it and I'm not really sure what to do. So, I wanted to see what strangers on the internet are going to do.
I don't have an existing e-trade account and I'm not super excited about creating one for the singular purpose of this IPO. But, if I can quickly make a couple of bucks and then cash out, that might be worth it.
Are there rules to when you cash out if you get in at the IPO price? Could I buy-in at the $30-ish/share price and couple that with a trailing stop-loss order? Maybe this isn't the right Lemmy community to ask this, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

Any free options available?
California bill would require ‘watermarks’ to signal content created by AI
A proposed state bill in California would require text, audio and video created using AI technology to be labeled as such to help consumers tell real from fake.

What linux program do you use to rip CDs (just audio)
I tried fre:ac but got an error from cddb when trying to connect to the database. Looking to rip to both FLAC and to Opus. Ideally with the latest codec updates.
Any recommendations?
Is Reddit's updated API literally changing the structure of the data payload at random?
It's not on every instance, so Libreddit still functions, but this seems to happen more and more on different instances. Then will get fixed and then fail again later the next day or week.
Is Reddit's API literally changing the structure of the data payload randomly? Does anyone know why this is happening?
Netflix 4K Documentaries
I currently pay for Netflix 4K. But I want to watch the content in 4K on my laptop and Netflix won't let me do that since I'm using Linux/Firefox.
I also have a Jellyfin server and rip my BluRays, so I'm used to ripping my own media to stream on my local network. I'd like to rip some of the newer "planet earth" style documentaries from Netflix which is presented in really beautiful 4k video. Is there a guide somewhere which will walk me though how to do this? I imagine I'll have to buy some additional gear to do this, but I'm not averse to that.
If anyone can point me the right direction, I'd be grateful.

qBit using .62Gigs of memory per torrent. Is this normal?
Running Docker-ized qBittorrent v4.6.0. 64-bit on Ubuntu 23.10. Seeding 29 torrents, Leeching 0 torrents.
According to Glances, it's using 18 Gigs of memory which seems high. I just wonder if maybe I have a setting somewhere that is problematic? Or is this typical behavior?
