  • SUMO alternative for Windows

  • Requesting folder encryption recommendations

    Jump

  • What about

    ?

    It's very easy to use and cross-platform. You can create a volume of arbitrary size, either as a file or using a device/partition, then mount it when you need it.

  • Looking for obscure, older television

    Jump

  • TVV or CRT are good trackers for old stuff, might have what you want.

  • Multiplayer with DLC unlocker

    Jump

  • I think so, but don't quote me on that.

  • Newbie who wants to get into Uploading, but it confused about everything around video encoding

    Jump

  • By definition, a remux doesn't encode the video or audio, so makemkv generally does it's thing correctly. If you want to make a remux, it's eac3to and/or makemkv to collect it all together.

  • PlayStation 4

    Jump

  • The methods really depends on which firmware version you have. Some are permanent, some are not. The one I'm using now for 9.0.0 is basically just:

    1. Load up cached website with exploit
    2. Click go
    3. Insert a specially formatted usb stick
    4. Remove stick after it tells me At that point goldhen is installed and can run homebrew stuff.

    Make sure you set up the internet connection to use a DNS which blocks the sony update servers.

  • Can anyone recommend a VPN that has working port forwarding?

    Jump

  • I've had a great experience with ovpn after Mullvad shut down port forwarding. You get 7 ports per account and the server I use is very fast. You can also purchase a public IPv4 with all ports open if you like.

    Before ovpn I tried AirVPN. It's a great service, but their servers are too busy/slow if you need a lot of bandwidth.

  • What helps people get comfortable on the command line?

    Jump

  • To be fair, I like to use VSCode for resolving merge conflicts, because it is easy to see the deviations and apply/edit as needed. Still, I use the CLI for everything else, including commiting that merge. Plus the gh cli client when I'm using github as I can create a repo or push a repo with zero effort.

    It is possible to resolve conflicts through any text editor, but not an amazing experience.

  • BiglyBT: Open source torrent app with plugins, decentralized ratings/comments, and "swarm search" that crawls the DHT to find torrents without a tracker/search site

    Jump

  • What about thousands?

  • What helps people get comfortable on the command line?

    Jump

  • That's a good article. From my observation, there are a few things:

    • Necessity. I'm active in communities with people who don't use the terminal until it's an absolute necessity. Like people running unraid, docker, or whatever containerized server. Eventually they need to type commands.
    • The prettiness. Yeah, I run oh-my-zsh. It's nice having a setup pretty environment. Some people's only experience might be opening up the powershell default display to run one command... And that is a bad experience.
    • Niche commands/programs. Take ffmpeg as an example. It's probably the most powerful media tool that exists, but has no official gui. And it's expansive enough that no GUI really covers what it can do. There are a bunch of other things like this.

    Edit: And yeah, git. I've never used a graphical client. Seen a handful in use and don't like it.

  • A video by The Linux Cast on the debian website and how it needs to be more user friendly.

    Jump

  • Hmm yeah I can see that point, there is room for optimization.

  • A video by The Linux Cast on the debian website and how it needs to be more user friendly.

    Jump

  • I always thought it was the way it is so that you can still browse it through a text-based browser. If that's true, is there still room for improving it's ease of use?

  • Jackett's manual search is so, so good

    Jump

  • Yeah this is honestly how I find/download most stuff. Almost all trackers on I'm on have jackett support, and then I can choose the exact release I want.

  • How to use burner Lemmy accounts properly?

    Jump

  • I don't feel there is any harm in having several accounts spread out for whatever purposes. Compartmentalize it so that each user is distinct and keep the accounts. I think this is the best way to maintain privacy but also not create new accounts constantly. Pretty sure this is good enough to not expose yourself.

  • Self-hosted GitHub alternative?

    Jump

  • Another +1 for gitea. It works quite well and is easy to setup.

  • Fully local nameservice

    Jump

  • It's fairly easy to add local domain names with pihole, so presuming all devices on your network are using it, you shouldn't have a problem.

  • A few questions I've gathered about piracy (specifically torrenting)

    Jump
    1. Yes, I'd say they're absolutely worth it. The main draw is you can get pretty much anything (unless you have very strange tastes) quickly, and be sure of the quality. Maintaining a ratio isn't hard on most trackers with a credits/bonus system, so it's usually not a worry if your upload is kinda slow. And you don't really need to interview for movie/tv trackers. Probably joining a couple entry-level ones would be fit your needs.
    2. Most private trackers are very safe when it comes to malware, publics can be hit or miss. There is always a risk with binary content, which is why some people only grab scene releases for games and check the hashes. In either case, if you're just grabbing videos you should be fine.

  • What do you think about having a AV1 only tracker?

    Jump

  • Yeah I'd be down for that. It's a specific niche that I don't think exists yet. Would need to have some QC on the encodes coming out though, or it could become ugly pretty quick.

    Permanently Deleted

  • Yes I believe so
