In addition to Piper voices which run locally in a browser and are quite good on their own, they also added Supertonic voices recently, which sound even better, are also running locally/synthesized in-browser and are even faster and lighter.

I'm usually too lazy to read long articles, so this extension is pretty convenient, I can just play and listen to it while I do something else.

Lets be real, no matter how old you are, that kid in you will always be there. Some people just choose not to ever let it come out and play.

Everyone suggests Peertube here, yet nobody uses it.

I think the biggest problem is that it's not integrated nicely. Only Piefed and maybe some Lemmy apps have an embedded player, which allows you to play the video without leaving the site. But most people will still have to open the link in a new tab, which is especially inconvenient on mobile apps. When I see a Peertube link, most of the time I don't even bother opening it. Another issue is that if you want to upload a video, you first have to find a good instance and then create an account to do so.

And even then, OP was looking for a site that allows direct linking (which would play natively in every app), something that Peertube does not allow. And most of the sites he mentioned, allow uploading without an account.

So I think that Peertube is not a good suggestion here. At least not yet.

Yeah it sucks, and you cannot get good search results anywhere.
Not that you have many different options anyways...

Lemmy search is only searching for exact text you searched for. There is somewhat useful option to search only post titles.

Piefed search at least has some filters (nsfw, post type, instance software, minimum score...) and search operators (and, or, not...) but it doesn't have the search only post titles option.

Sometimes searching in google and just appending "lemmy" to your query will give surprisingly good result and sometimes it will return nothing.

Searxng has the search !bang for lemmy posts !lepo, which gives more or less the same results as lemmys search.

croc

https://github.com/schollz/croc

Send files over the internet.

It's a small (several MB) CLI tool, that you download and run on both devices (sending and receiving one)
Type croc send [file(s)-or-folder] , you get the code phrase that you send to the person receiving the file.
On receiving device you type croc code-phrase and the file starts transferring.

End-to-end encrypted, and no need for port forwarding since it's sent over the relay (you can even host your own relay).

Oh, I never knew that about their beaks, very interesting.

She does look like she is prepared to kill someone hahah

[–] Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago

How viable would that be? Can it also just run in the background like the actual app?

Would it be possible to run Syncthing in Termux?

I think you might have downloaded a fake Newpipe...

[–] Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 months ago

Looks like a mask.

I use Linkding too, it's very light and it's great, I only wish it had the exclude tag filter and no tag filter. That would make it perfect.

Can't speak from experience, but everything I've read about this tracker is that if you could pick only one, this should be it. Get in while you can.

I'm using putty from my win local machine to connect to the server, and so far what I've done is simply selecting text from putty terminal and pasting it into a text editor on my local machine and after editing I just paste it back to nano on the server. I could do that because all the text files I was editing were pretty short, but this config that I want to edit is longer, so I would need to scroll to select all the text from the nano, but that is not possible from the putty (as far as I know), and copying within nano doesnt seem to share the clipboard from server to local machine.

So I'm looking for a better way to do it, but something simple, quick and dirty.

SSD Endurance question. (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de to c/techsupport@lemmy.world
 

So, I have Crucial MX500 SSD, and on their spec sheet, the SSD Endurance TBW is 180TB

Crystal Disk Info says the health is at 33% Health, despite Total Host Writes being 54039 GB (30% of specified SSD endurance TBW of 180TB)


So is their specified endurance wrong, is the Total Host Writes data in Crystal Disk Info misleading or wrong, or is there more things that go into determining the "health" of an SSD besides Total Bytes Written? Or could it be that I mistreated the SSD causing its health to get worse?

I saw this article, which made me think about it...

Kids under 16 to be banned from social media after Senate passes world-first laws


Seeing what kind of brainrot kids are watching, makes me think it's a good idea. I wouldn't say all content is bad, but most kids will get hooked on trash content that is intentionally designed to grab their attention.

What would be an effective way to enforce a restriction with the fewest possible side effects? And who should be the one enforcing that restriction in your opinion?
