People need to understand what this will mean from a developer perspective before getting all up in arms. This initiative is more kneejerk emotional than it is realistic.
If you’re going to watch only one of these videos, watch the second one:
I use Backblaze B2, but stored in an encrypted Restic container, set up using this guide:
Restic has been great for automating backups, and even letting me mount the encrypted storage to grab individual files. I like doing it this way since I don’t have to trust Backblaze isn’t reading my data - I know for sure that they can’t.
Performance of storage that is both remote and encrypted is about what you would expect, but I don’t need access to the data unless something bad happens.
Ok… sure. But what physical devices would I use, and what software would they run?
Are there any “open” solutions to mesh networking that can compare to TP-Link Omada? I don’t think any open source hardware or software can come close, especially not for the newer Wi-Fi standards.
I haven’t bought them yet, but I’m seriously thinking about some Omadas. I imagine I can prevent them from phoning home, and the management software can run locally in a Docker container. Running it like that would be good enough for me even though they’re not “open.”
I’m planning a rework of my home Wi-Fi, and my current plan is an OPNsense box from Protectli, and a few EAP772’s:

If there’s something comparable/better that’s more of an open ecosystem, you definitely have my attention while I’m shopping around for different options.
Definitely recommend Motrix:
If the Google download link supports it, it should be fairly resistant to interruptions. If it doesn’t, this might not help much, but you should still use this instead of just a browser.
I haven’t tried to download a Google takeout, so you might need to get clever with how you add the download link to it.
If you just can’t get it to work, you can try getting the browser extension to automatically send all downloads to Motrix. There is some setup required, though:

Good luck!
Before it got enshittified with an update a few years ago, I used the RealVNC Android app to connect to a few of my own VNC servers. Wasn’t interested in any of the fancy features, I just wanted a good VNC app.
Now I use AVNC. It’s solid, performs better than RealVNC used to, and it’s open source! You can get it on FDroid.
It should still work!
I only go back and make changes to LED if something breaks with a major Lemmy update, but Lemmy hasn’t had a major update since January. Lemmy v0.19.4 isn’t released yet, but when it is, I’ll make sure the deployment is up to date.
Note that it does not have any advanced features that a major instance might want, such as storing images on S3, exporting data, or image moderation. If you intend for your instance to grow for 100+ users, this isn’t for you. This is only intended for beginners who are overwhelmed by the other Lemmy hosting options, and want an easy way to host a small single-user or small-user instance.
I’m scratching my head to think what Vultr could do better in this case
There was substantial room for improvement in the way they spoke publicly about this issue. See my comment above.
I still don’t like how flippant they’ve been in every public communication. I read the ToS. It’s short for a ToS, everyone should read it. They claim it was taken “out of context,” but there wasn’t much context to take it out of. The ToS didn’t make this distinction they’re claiming, there was no separation of Vultr forum data from cloud service data. It was just a bad, poorly written ToS, plain and simple.
They haven’t taken an ounce of responsibility for that, and have instead placed the blame on “a Reddit post” (when this was being discussed in way more detail on other tech forums, Vultr even chimed in on LowEndTalk).
As for this:
Section 12.1(a) of our ToS, which was added in 2021, ends with “for purposes of providing the Services to you.” This is intended to make it clear that any rights referenced are solely for the purposes of providing the Services to you.
This means nothing. A simple “we are enhancing your user experience by mining your data and giving you a better quality service” would have covered them on this.
We only got an explanation behind the ToS ransom dialog after their CMO whined in a CRN article. That information should have been right in the dialog on the website.
In both places, they’ve actively done vague things to cause confusion, and are offended when people interpret it incorrectly.
It was just how the settlement was worded; this team is prevented from distributing “anything that circumvent’s Nintendo’s blah blah,” and Citra was developed by the same team. So, it got taken down all the same :(
Great work, thanks!
Anything on Citra? PineappleEA made it easy enough to also download binaries for Yuzu, but I’ve got nothing but a flatpak for Citra.
A central place for binaries of both emulators would be great.
Both flatpaks are still available, by the way:
https://flathub.org/apps/org.yuzu_emu.yuzu
https://flathub.org/apps/org.citra_emu.citra
They can be bundled and exported after downloading, although it will only be for the architecture of your machine.
You are giving it the -d flag. -d means “detached.” There are logs, you are just preventing yourself from seeing them.
Replace the -d with an -i (for interactive) and try again.
Have you completed the podman rootless setup in order to be able to use it? You may need to edit /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid to get containers to run:
More than likely, this might have something to do with podman being unprivileged, and this wanting to bind to port 80 in the container (a privileged port). You may need to specify a --userns flag to podman.
Running in interactive mode will give you the logs you want and will hopefully point you in the right direction.
Ahhh RVC is the right word for this sort of thing. Thanks! It’s crazy that this was a one day project!
Your AI voice in this sounds pretty natural. Did the AI generate this just via text? Or was it “overlayed” to the original V voice? I’ve never really messed with voice AI before, so learning how you trained it well enough to fit right in with a game would be a pretty interesting read! I’ll even take a TL;DR, I know writing takes a while 😅
Wow, this is awesome. Good work!
Were you thinking about writing up a little blog post or something about how you did this?
Hi :)
If you’re already running an instance, you’re not going to have a good time of this on the same server unfortunately. The webserver config I ship assumes a single instance, and all of the handling assumes only one domain. You would have to basically modify my entire script to support something like this.
You can take a look at my advanced configuration page to figure out what files you can edit, but this would be a very manual process for what you want to do.
Apologies, but you would be better off deploying a new server.
I don’t have the same issue. Fennec from F-Droid runs at 120Hz even with tabs open
The indicator does flicker between 60 and 120 while the page is loading, but it’s not perceptible. However, if what I’m seeing means the FPS goes down to 60 while the app is busy, this may be some kind of performance throttling done to keep resource usage low. If you have lower end specs, this may be the explanation. I’m on a Pixel 6 Pro.
Hey, where’s Perry?
Fun fact: they spent quite a while working on a segmented 3D animation system for all the sprites. Every sprite is split up into segments, and then those segments are positioned in 3D space depending on the camera angle. They can even independently move each part of a character, like a leg, without having to create an entirely new sprite just for one frame.
This is 3 years old at this point, but this should give a good idea of how the new animation system works!
