It changes very fast, I’ve been going through a cycle of

• months with no issues
• a week of dealing with a very annoying issue

They changed the new tab / split tabs feature recently and I think it broke some things

Hi @engene@lemmy.ca

Please keep the original title when submitting an article. You can put your own commentary in the body of the post or in the comment section :)

I didn’t remove the post yet, but we’re getting reports about it

Welcome!

Feel free to post on !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca if you have any questions, else there are lots of guides around for you to use. There are a few pinned to the sidebar of your instance, and there’s also this post from over on lemmy.ca: https://sh.itjust.works/post/32846425

I think it would be better to just ask them directly, and make them admit how the system works. Otherwise, as the other comment suggested, they’ll just delay the ads or have a special ‘demo’ mode

Welcome 😊

Definitely check out the guides above, and drop by in !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca if you have any issues!

Welcome!

It’s nice to see the word of mouth working, I’ve seen a lot of mentions recently of people being recommended here by friends and family members

I should have specified, people we’re downvoting you

But looks like the score is positive again 🙂

I’ve heard Kobo is better than the other big players when it comes to interoperability with open formats / self hosted setups.

As for the servers

Also (to everyone else reading your comment) let’s not downvote good faith comments, especially when they’re phrased as a question and wanting to learn more

Makes me think of Original Position / veil of ignorance

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_position

The original position (OP), often referred to as the veil of ignorance, is a thought experiment often associated with the works of American philosopher John Rawls. In the original position, one is asked to consider which principles they would select for the basic structure of society, but they must select as if they had no knowledge ahead of time what position they would end up having in that society. This choice is made from behind a “veil of ignorance”, which prevents them from knowing their ethnicity, social status, gender, and (crucially in Rawls’s formulation) their or anyone else’s ideas of how to lead a good life. Ideally, this would force participants to select principles impartially and rationally.

With that in mind, I LOVE how lean and fast some FOSS apps/projects are. One of my motivations to go searching for FOSS alternatives is when something seems slow for no reason.

It’s not always the case, but it’s often the case

Solid food photography as well!

Onion rings maybe?

Nice timing too, with the warmer season starting

Feel free to promote on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !newcommunities@lemmy.world

Aussie.zone might be the most extreme case, since its physical location is the farthest away from the largest Lemmy instance

Nice 🥳

Fair enough, thanks :)

since swapped to PieFed’s software and have been finding it to be a much better match for me and my personal usecase

How do you find it for day to day usage? We’re exploring having that be an option, but have also heard that it “isn’t quite ready yet”

I was just curious if there was a cooking community hosted on the Lemmy.ca instance

I don’t think so, although someone did set up !shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca here. So far I’ve been using !foodporn@lemmy.world, !food@beehaw.org, !cooking@lemmy.world and similar communities

Oh interesting, I didn’t know that was a thing

Quoting from: https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/1bapfkl

The armv8 architecture which the DS218 uses is supported by Container Manager, Synology just put a hardcoded config into the official package to exclude certain models from installing it:

exclude_model="synology_rtd1296_ds118 synology_rtd1296_ds218 synology_rtd1296_ds218play synology_rtd1296_ds418 synology_rtd1296_ds418j synology_armada37xx_ds119j synology_rtd1296_rs819"

Pretty sure the https://github.com/007revad/ContainerManager_for_all_armv8 linked above just removes the hardcoded exclusion and doesn’t need to change anything else to get it to work.

If that workaround looks shady, you might be better off just installing docker directly

Which Synology NAS is it, and can you install Container Manager on it? That might be the simplest option since your files are already on that device. There should be lots of guides out there for it.

Container Manager is basically a worse DockGE / Portainer by Synology. It should be sufficient for pasting in the Jellyfin docker compose, but if you wanted you could also spin up DockGE/Portainer first and do it through that interface (or SSH into the NAS and do it all with the command line)

So the setup would be

• run Jellyfin as a Docker container on the Synology NAS (using either Container Manager or DockGE/Portainer/straight up command line)
• try it out with the web browser/desktop app/mobile apps to see if you like it
• find a setup that you find convenient for the TV (ex. Android TV apps with some device, the desktop app on the PC, etc)

EDIT: Looks like there are official guides for it, as well as lots of videos on YouTube: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/synology/

I gather Plex is at least semi-commercial while Jellyfin is the open source but worse option.

I haven’t used Plex enough to judge, but from the comments I’ve seen it seems that Jellyfin is now on par with or better than Plex. There was also some news recently about Plex moving more core features (remote playback?) to the paid plans, so I imagine there will be more people moving over soon.

There are a lot of options for client side apps, official and unofficial, so you might be able to find something specific to your setup

You both could check up on some resources local to him. Consulate address/phone numbers, registration with global affairs (not sure if this applies in his case), local organizations that could be helpful.

Even if he doesn’t ever need it, it might give you both peace of mind
