It should be back now! I've migrated it to a new server earlier today since the old one had some issues.

What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

Jump

kavin @feddit.rocks 2y ago

Zorin OS, which was the second distro I ever tried, I hated how outdated their repos were since they were using an older Ubuntu LTS repository for packages. It was quite painful to install software that would otherwise have worked out-of-the-box on Ubuntu. I hope this is no longer the case today.

Introverts of Lemmy, what do you do when you feel lonely?

Jump

kavin @feddit.rocks 2y ago

I try doing something productive, like working on developing a new skill, or work on some of my hobby projects. That prevents me from feeling lonely.

What would be a good name for a federated Wikipedia?

kavin @feddit.rocks 2y ago

Here's some that I thought about:

Wikipub
Wikihive (A bee mascot)
Academoo (A cow mascot)
LinkLynx (A lynx with a magnifying glass maybe?)

Hi, author of the Piped link bot here! I think this is meme great feedback to throw light on some issues on the experience with the bot. 😂 I'll open an issue at https://github.com/TeamPiped/lemmy-piped-link-bot to track this later.

Hi, when you're playing a video, you can enable "Auto Play next Video" checkbox on the same page below the video description.

Hey, thanks for the message! I've fixed the issue already, which was caused by a regression in one of my changes. To prevent this from happening in the future, I've added unit tests for the same. Sorry for the inconvenience caused!

I'm having trouble getting piped to work. I don't have it signed in. I'm using it on a Samsung Galaxy s21. I've used it with and without a proxy NordVPN. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I hit th

Things should be fine from today onwards on the official instance. We're now using a VPN for some (and maybe soon all) traffic to Google.

I haven't seen any changes from YouTube recently, the ways we fetch age restricted content still seem to work for most videos. However, this method may not work for all videos as YouTube has different levels of age restrictions afaict. I've seen very few videos fall under that category personally.

If anything were to change in the future, I may consider implementing something similar to what this extension does (or use their API) in Piped.

My Opinion: NewPipe, Piped, Invidious, etc's days are numbered.

I think it is quite unlikely for YouTube to implement a DRM for watching videos. In anyways, we will keep fighting collaboratively as long as we can.

The most likely way YouTube probably will affect us currently is if they decide to log in wall their platform like how Twitter did.

Good to hear that :) Inviting the bot definitely helps it reach more communities, so thanks for that!

Liftoff. Lemmy app. Do you like the way it works now?

Connect is a closed-source application and is hence not on F-Droid. If you wanted to download apps from the play store, you can use Aurora Store btw!

What are the best fediverse alternatives to youtube?

Jump

kavin @feddit.rocks 3y ago

Peertube is based on the Activitypub protocol and can federate with other instances just like Lemmy/Mastodon. Odysee is a decentralized blockchain-based video-sharing platform.

If you'd like to monetize your content, Odysee would be the better option due to its own cryptocurrency for tipping. I personally like Peertube more, as I think it is better moderated against right-wing content.

You could try HF Code Autocomplete VSCode extension. That would allow you to use open-source LLMs like https://github.com/bigcode-project/starcoder.

If the Peertube developers find a way to make a way to find the same content there through some metadata, we could support it easily, but currently, there isn't anything.
