What’s the movie?

I didn’t mean pixelfed as an upload target, rather ffshare as a tool to reduce the size of the image and upload directly to lemmy.

For my family pixelfed instance I’ve discovered ffshare - it’s job is to act something like a pipe in a unix shell and strip exif data as well as downsize the source before sending it off to the target app.

It’s not exactly what you’ve asked for, but it could be used here. Android, at least.

An ebuild is a definition - a recipe, if you will - of how a package is built from some source by portage, a Gentoo package manager.

Very few things are trully impossible in linux land, but having multiple package managers on a single system is just asking for trouble.

You could try setting up a gentoo prefix and get the benefits of portage that way, but I’ve not beem able to accomplish that the single time that I tried.

I’ve found this more understandable.

I’ve also hacked together a quick thing for spamwaves that were happening last year here.

The purpose of that script is to ban, but there’re auth bits that might help you get a grasp on your task.

Not sure how much of your ground it would cover, but I’ve used easyeffects in the past to apply noise cancellation. Worked very well. It’s also on pipewire level so you don’t have to mess with alsa directly.

I do recall it having many more plugins as well as eq, I just didn’t have a reason to use it.

I’ve been running mine for just over 5 years now - initial setup was ass, but it’s very much hands off now - email simply doesn’t change anymore.

If you have a domain to test - I can host it for you. If you then decide that it works well enough for you - I’ll show you how to set it up on your own server.

Wireguard works best for private traffic, but you can’t host a public site with that.

Of course you can! Nginx and wireguard on a VPS and actual services wherever you want.

If you can dedicate some time to constant keep up - pick a rolling distro. Doing major version upgrades has never not had problems for me. Every major distro has one.

My choice is Gentoo, but I’m weird like that. Having said that - my email server has been running happily on Arch for just over 5 years now.

The lemmy instance I host is on Debian testing - Gentoo was not available on DO - no issues so far.

Even when it’s mostly containers - why waste time every n years doing the big upgrade? Small change is always safer.

Is this the repo of the tool?

Don’t really have anything to add, but wanted to boost the activity on this post.

A subscription for surge protection is fucking stupid - that’s insurance renamed; but you, OP, clearly do not understand how electricity works.

@Weslee@lemmy.world has already answered, but in general - you can see [de]federated instances at an <instance url>/instances. In my case that would be lemmy.cafe/instances

If not for an occasional comment like yours - I would never remember I’ve defederated them. Thanks!

That’s not what I meant.

Never had a chance to give syncthing a shot, but nextcloud works very well. On top of that, if you ever want to ditch apple/google - it will also happily sync your contacts, calendar, etc, as well as more niche stuff like bike rides. It can become chonky, but that really depends on how much stuff you’re asking it to do.

Gentoo gang represent!

Gentoo OpenRC 🥰

So… it’s a hack, but it’s not been hacked?

Come the fuck on, BBC, you can do better.

It’s kinda funny how we think the 100 watts of a desktop P4 was insane when now the TDP of a high end laptop CPU is more than that.

It really isn’t. Modern mobile cpus barely sip power.
