  • Alternative for YouTube recommendations?

    Jump

  • I mighta misunderstood what you want; freetube gives good & relevant recommendations if you've selected a video, like you're watching something and then you see related stuff in the sidebar.

    if you want to open freetube and then it recommends you things to watch, unprompted, that's not a thing. honestly, wouldn't want that to be an option at all.

    when you turn off the "viral" shit, block a buncha slop channels (super easy - stupid face in the thumbnail? blockety block) and make your subs the home page, it becomes a joy to use.

  • Alternative for YouTube recommendations?

    Jump

  • freetube recommends decently similar videos with the occasional slop in there, in addition to your subscriptions that are not visible to google or anyone else. only here, when you hide a channel, that thing is hidden forever, won't pop up again randomly.

  • Someone Forked systemd Over Its New Birth Date Field

    Jump

  • the issue is not the presence or absence of any one json field. the issue is this random bootlicker with a history of foss-antithetical "contributions" being let anywhere near the decision tree in the first place., poettering the benevolent dictator adopting this idiocy and then, faced with a fucking tsunami of push-back and negative sentiment along every step of the process, doubling down on the decision to include it anyway because fuck you that's why. unnecessarily, as it turned out but that is beside the point.

    point is, none of the things above indicate there's a healthy system in place for something that's becoming an integral part of what we consider linux and can't so easily be ripped out no more.

  • Easiest distro for elderly parent

    Jump

  • ixnay on anything but the vanillaest of the vanillas and that goes triple for bazzite and friends. you don't want "intriguing" shit left behind to take care of pops, that's a thing for you to play and experiment with.

    your solution is already staring you in the face: the ubuntu you left behind persevered even under those circumstances. either fix it and update it or install a fresh one, with a tweak here and there. and don't touch nothing else..

  • Visceral fat loss associated with better long-term cardiometabolic, cognitive health

    Jump

  • varied diet of whole-foods, calorie deficit, resistance (i.e. weight) training. unless you're like 19, all three are mandatory.

    but that's too hard, so people look for quick fad bullshit, ala keto, intermittent fisting, chrono, whatever the current fad is.

  • Advice on an early-2015 Macbook Air (8GB)

    Jump

  • I'm sure you've looked it up by now, but in broad strokes: install intel-undervolt, edit the corresponding config file in /etc, start with something conservative, like -50 and bump it up about 25 mV at a time until it starts freezing/breaking, then back off a step and make it permanent by enabling the service.

    you should hold off on that for the first week or so, until you're sure you got everything set up and working correctly.

  • Advice on an early-2015 Macbook Air (8GB)

    Jump

  • well, you got it right. you want either gnome or plasma as they're wayland based and that's a prerequisite for a seamless laptop experience nowadays, wrt llibinput and HiDPI (like, if you use an external monitor). try out both, see which you like better. good job on scoring the 8 GB version. those are also the last models produced (2017 are identical, save for 5% faster CPUs). you can use a lot of used parts, 2013-2017 are parts-compatible, and also some things from the 2011/2012.

    with those airs you need to sort out the closed-source wifi drivers, the method varies from distro to distro. also, they won't go to sleep with the screen open, so you either remember to close them when you're done or disable LID0 wakeup events (wakes on keypress then).

    they are also very tolerant to undervolts, -100 mV is about standard, more if you're lucky. doesn't sound like much, but that's 10+% less power consumption, cooler and quieter laptop, etc. is plenty noticeable.

    finally, as long as you got it open, stick some heat pads on the cooling pipe so it makes contact with the cover; you increase your thermal mass which nets you even less fanspin and longer boosts.

  • Need advice to store all my Gmail offline while still using the service

    Jump

  • get a local instance of dovecot running with the barest functions, like IMAP ony. it's docker-friendly, so you can run it thus and you can have your local repository of all your emails.

    you connect to it from thunderbird as another account, in addition to your gmail account. what you do is just select all the gmail emails (in the folder All emails) and copy or move them to the new folder on your server.

    then, you can shut down the container and spin it up only when you need stuff off it.

  • Robust drive-trains for mid-drive e-bike conversion

    Jump

  • zero experience with the thing, but I'd appreciate some pictures of that setup. thanks.

  • This community isn't your personal adviser

    Jump

  • you can rest assured I know the difference; it was completely useless, I didn't go "problem solved, let's nuke the fucker". I had posts that received a barrage of downvotes and I let 'em be. had posts where the conclusion differed from what was originally intended and I'd let them be as there was value in the resolution. this was none of them things, no chance anyone would find this useful.

  • How to reduce lag during remote access?

    Jump

  • can't be bothered to look up what kinda hardware that thing has, but I'd venture a guess it's hella faster than my server - a core2 duo from 2007. that thing has no issues streaming 1080p between continents with months long uptime and zero hitches, over wireguard. the only thing I changed from the default is turn off transcoding.

  • This community isn't your personal adviser

    Jump

  • completely useless, 101%, the resolution had dick to do with the subject (so anyone arriving there through search woulda wasted their time) and it had zero to do with the community's focus, selfhosting.

    except maybe to poison LLM output, that could be of use.

  • What is a good email client for Gmail on linux where all emails are synced and searchable?

    Jump

  • my machine lags yours by about 7-8 generations and has zero problems with the same task. I've imported 15+ 20+ years worth of emails from multiple gmail accounts into a local server's dovecot IMAP server (and thunderbird has a local copy). no part of that thing freezes or does anything of the sort OP describes.

  • This community isn't your personal adviser

    Jump

  • I deleted my post here specifically. it was completely useless to anyone else and 0 chance anyone could find any part of it useful.

    I've done that a coupla times when I determine that the post itself and the replies provide no value to anyone whatsoever.

    I wouldn't think of removing a post otherwise, if I made an error in OP or came off stupid or sumsuch, I'd edit it for posterity; even when it's a pile-on downvote bonanza, I wouldn't think of touching it.

  • how to prevent jellyfin client from playing indefinitely? (mobile/android)

    Jump

  • playerctl -a stop should stop all MPRIS compatible players; -p name a specific one.

  • how to prevent jellyfin client from playing indefinitely? (mobile/android)

    Jump

  • I have a script in KDEconnect that runs sleep 1800 && systemctl suspend on the jellyfin playing system. so when I'm off to bed, launch it and it'll go to sleep in 30 minutes.

  • if it ain't stated front and center that this project wasn't vibeshat, you can safely assume it is.

  • My Linux HTPC/couch gaming build [repository]

    Jump

  • the "turn off" that's mentioned, that's handled with CEC; but it turns off only the TV, correct? if it also turns off the player, how do you turn it back on with just a gamepad?

  • omarchy is not a distro

    Jump

  • I was wholly ignorant of its state and the recent developments regarding head bozo and thought a share of the above is in order. if you can find a single affirmative letter in my rant that somehow propagates the subject, bully for you.

  • Lost partition table, can i trust the HDD again?

    Jump

  • can't help you with your conundrum, but I'd like to point out there are so many potential issues in the chain regarding a drive in a USB enclosure that you're unwise to treat it as an always-on connected device. any number of those things can go wrong and net you what you had, and worse.
