If you're curious about the company Clearview AI, check out the book "Your face belongs to us" by Kashmir Hill. It's an interesting read.

Tipping is like paying for DLC / microtransactionw but not getting anything out of it.

Yeah... NAH!

What's your favorite profound quote? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] root@aussie.zone 17 points 7 months ago

If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.

Using curlftpfs with jellyfin to access media stored on old NAS? (aussie.zone)

submitted 8 months ago by root@aussie.zone to c/jellyfin@lemmy.ml

Hi all. Very new potential jellyfin user trying to set things up.

I have one of those mini fanless mini PC boxes with Proxmox and pfsense installed. Jellyfin has been installed as a lxc via one of the helper scripts. Set it up and it works fine.

I'm now trying to set it up to access an old Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ that I have lying around. It's been setup with SMB/CIFS as well as FTP access. I'm considering disabling SMB/CIFS access since I think I don't need that anymore. I think the NAS only supports TLS 1.2 protocol and it's probably safer to disable it security wise. After searching around, I've come across curlftpfs which seems to be able to mount a ftp server as a local directly which i can then use as a library for jellyfin.

Is this the best way or is there a better alternative I can consider?

Thanks.

Noticed a strange occurrence where my monitor buttons will not react to presses when certain conditions are met (aussie.zone)

I have an Acer XV340CKP monitor connected via Display Port to my GPU. I also have a old LG W2253TQ that I use as a secondary display. It only has a DVI and VGA port. I have a DVI-DVI cable together with a DVI-Display Port converter to connect to my GPU, which is an Asus RX6900XT. I am running Nobara 38.

I have observed that if I were to have my Acer monitor powered when I switch on my desktop, all the monitor buttons do not respond. None of the menu buttons, not even the power button responds. When I switch off the desktop, the monitor stays on. The only way to power it down is to unplug the power cable.

However, if I were to only have the LG monitor powered when I switch on my desktop, all the buttons on the Acer monitor works.

I believe everything was working previously in Nobara 37. I think this issue probably started happening in the recent month or two.

Is this even possible, where the graphics card sends a malformed signal to the monitor and prevents the buttons from working?

Bed bugs.

Positive outcome would be no more having to burn contaminted possessions (or wash them in very hot water many times).

What is something (feature, modes, settings...) you would like to see become a standard in video games? in c/gaming@beehaw.org

[-] root@aussie.zone 28 points 1 year ago

I would be nice if the game detects that it's been quite some time since I last played, and give a quick refresher of the keybinds as well as brief rundown of recent missions completed / story-so-far.

Fairphone 5 Launch in c/android@lemmy.world

Exactly. I still cannot fathom why a company which prides itself on sustainability ditch the headphone jack. Granted, I don't use the one on my phone often, but I'm very glad that it's there when I need it.

Meta will kill small instances! Please read. in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[-] root@aussie.zone 38 points 1 year ago

On one hand, I think it could be possible that Meta is planning to federate with the fediverse with the ultimate goal of destroying it and replacing it with their own instances. Similar to what Google did with XMPP according to this article. https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

On the other hand, I also think it could be possible Meta is wanting to federate with the fediverse just so it can increase it's data collection many times quicker. Why manage servers when you can connect to other servers and suck up data as and when Threads users interact with other lemmy instances.

No idea which is more likely.
