Who cares if it already exists, just make it.
Also consider the possibility when the other, more popular projects got enshittified. Now the fleeing users have an option to switch to your project. It actually happened on one of my side project. I made it because I want to try building my own version of X. It got ~2000 users, but later down the road, X got sold to a new shitty owner that waste no time to enshittify it, and my side project suddenly grow to 20,000 users overnight.
Believe it or not, NextCloud. It actually can work as an email client. And it can sync calendars, contacts and todo list too.
photopea.com is actually pretty great, much easier to use than gimp with similar (or even better) feature set.
You can enable it from settings -> remote control in SmartTube app. Also, if you’re using YouTube revanced, the cast button might be hidden because it was not functional. You can re-enable the cast button on YouTube revanced from revanced settings.
When casting a video, you’ll have to open the SmartTube app in your Android TV first because it’s not automatically launched when you hit the cast button in YouTube revanced. If it’s in the background or not yet running, the video won’t play.
Currently, activitypub identity is tied to domain name. Mastodon support migration as long as the old domain is still up during the migration process, but AFAIK Lemmy doesn’t even have a process to migrate an instance to a new domain yet.
Someone should tell Lemmy devs and send them a crate of coffee because it’ll be a race to implement domain migration before all .ml domains got shut down.
A while ago Libya suddenly requires all companies that use .ly domain to have a presence in Libya or have their domain reclaimed by the government. bit.ly (and other internet startups that use .ly domains back then) suddenly found themselves in a precarious position. It was pretty hilarious as .ly TLD was hip back then.
Does ssh works? If yes, you can use autossh to create persistent ssh tunnel to your VPS.
I just tried installing SmartTube on my Chromecast Ultra today and found out it can pair with YouTube revanced. This fixed my number one issue with revanced where the cast button is not working.
Back in the day, we tried to get Reddit unblocked in our country, which blocks porn websites. No amount of arguments can convince the government agency in charge of the block list that Reddit is not a porn site. They probably got tired of us pestering them and send back a whole bunch of screenshots of porns in Reddit to justify the block.
I guess Reddit is a porn site.
Who need GUI apps when you can do these things on CLI:
imcat my-image.pngmpv --vo=tct "https://youtube.com/watch?v=BBJa32lCaaY"browshspt play --name "Your Playlist" --playlist --randomand perhaps many more I’m not currently aware of…
Did you miss the fact that this TV has a camera that can count the number of viewers and can detect obstruction? Obstructing the ad screen broke the ToS and when they detect it, they can cancel your account and demand you too send the tv back or get charged $1000. Oh, and it’s also have a microphone in addition to the camera, which will double the fun.
I heard chromium is easier to work with than gecko.

It’s true. I ended up creating an ssh tunnel using autossh to a bastion server to escape the awfulness, but don’t tell the IT department I did that.
This particular type of interrupt exists because it would feel really bad if you were typing, and the text didn’t show up until several seconds later when the CPU felt like processing the (hopefully) buffered input.
Meanwhile me enjoying multiple seconds latency when typing some commands in ssh using putty inside a windows VM using RDP accessed via a shitty corporate VPN from the other side of the world, while using another VPN because corporate blocked all traffics from other countries…
Turn your chicken coop into a 5 star Airbnb listing with one simple trick!
Looks like https://mastodon.xyz is up again now.
Extended downtime is common for community-run servers like this. Remember, even if the server is down for a full day every year, it’s still have 99.73% uptime! Chasing 99.999% uptime (like the big tech) for a community-run server is not reasonable because the cost (money and manpower) to do so is exponentially higher with every “9” you add in your uptime.
I always want to self host my own search engine, but alas, I’m not a billionaire.
Revolt!? That dog is fucking embrace it!
