TiddlyWiki: An Open Source Alternative to Notion or Obsidian in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago (5 children)

I've used it several times since it was launched and it's always the saving that is a bit awkward. It is a great tool though. I'm using obsidian now purely for it's simplicity

what is with child names like Aiden, Braiden etc? in c/[email protected]

Never heard of this, what are some examples? Maybe caitlin? Just looked that up, it's an Irish name.

The bizarre secrets I found investigating corrupt Winamp skins in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It is literally a zip file. If I remember correctly you have to write some xml which describes the layout of the skin and then include any images you need, you then zip it and change the file extension to wsz. So really you could put anything in a skin.

Apple's constant anti-interoperability stance is the core reason I do not and will not own their products

Does anyone here have experience with Firefox Relay's paid Phone number aliases? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hmm I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, here in the UK there is no way to tell whether a number is a VoIP number or a physical land-line. Is that not the case where you are?

Why does nobody maintain PPAs anymore? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah I was referring to repos generally but I come from Ubuntu so PPA is the term I used incorrectly

Why does it being voip make it useless?

What you wish had an active community here on the lemmyverse? in c/[email protected]

Command and conquer, OpenTTD and OpenRCT2. Also Linux audio production

Why does nobody maintain PPAs anymore? (feddit.uk)
 

When I first started using Linux 15 years ago (Ubuntu) , if there was some software you wanted that wasn't in the distro's repos you can probably bet that there was a PPA you could add to your system in order to get it.

Seems that nowadays this is basically dead. Some people provide appimage, snap or flatpak but these don't integrate well into the system at all and don't integrate with the system updater.

I use Spek for audio analysis and yesterday it told me I didn't have permission to read a file, I a directory that I owned, that I definitely have permission to read. Took me ages to realise it was because Spek was a snap.

I get that these new package formats provide all the dependencies an app needs, but PPAs felt more centralised and integrated in terms of system updates and the system itself. Have they just fallen out of favour?

Radical New Discovery Could Double The Speed of Existing Computers - simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading (www.msn.com)
 

Does anyone know more about this? Sounds like distributing tasks to other processors that are not really designed for the job? Articles are making it out to be a miracle and not sure whether to believe it

How to route transmission through Mullvad? (feddit.uk)
 

Does anyone know the best way to route traffic from transmission through Mullvad?

I have transmissionset up on my plex server which I control using tranmission remote and want to download my Linux ISOs with privacy.

I have downloaded the wireguard config and can connect to it using wg-quick, but I don't want all traffic going through it, only transmission.

Nextcloud alternatives (feddit.uk)
 

So far my experience with Nextcloud has been that it is a pain in the arse to install, and once it's installed is slow as anything. Literally couldn't run it on my pi 3b, now got it up and running pretty nicely on a NUC but it's still not great. Have caching set up.

I have the notes app installed on my android phone and I can never used rich text editing because it gives timeout error.

This shouldn't be this complicated. All I want is to de-Google my documents and notes, and self-host my kanban. I don't really need the rest though it's nice to have the options.

Do people use alternatives? Am I doing something completely wrong? I set it up using nginx which I know is not supported, but the alternative using Docker AIO didn't allow me to use custom port easily.

Hello, recently joined after 14 years on reddit, not sure if anyone would recognise me but I was mildly active in Linux subreddits, especially /r/linuxaudio.

Is there any interest in creating a similar community here? I have started getting back into making music on Linux after a few years where my job took over my life.
