Are you also scared of databases and prefer storing things in raw txt files?

Yes, actually. 😅 I can't manage a database for more than a few weeks before I screw it up or want to easily edit something and stop using it.

I don't think databases are bad. I think I'm too much of a fuckup to manage one.

There are several projects named zipline. I think you're talking about this one though: https://github.com/diced/zipline

 

Hello! How are folks self-hosting online storage, similar to Google Drive?

Some options I've found:

A bunch more: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?tab=readme-ov-file#file-transfer---web-based-file-managers

I mainly just need basic file management features. I don't plan to share files outside of my tailscale VPN. I do need to support multiple users though.

I'm not considering Nextcloud because that seems too big. I'm also not considering syncthing for this project because I don't want copies on multiple devices.

I'm currently just using ssh+nautilus and that's worked great for just me, but something similar to Google Drive would be easier to onboard my family.

 

Hello!

Thanks for lemmy.today. 🙇 It's great!

Mainly I was just wondering: is it normal for one's lemmy account to slow down as the number of subs goes up? Currently, I'm subbed to almost 200 communities. When I load my home page at lemmy.today, the page always loads in almost 10 seconds.

My home page is set to Subscribed and Hot.

Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to decrease the homepage load time?

never bother to verify the chatbots’ output at all

I feel like this is happening.

When you're an expert in the subject matter, it's easier to notice when the AI is wrong. But if you're not an expert, it's more likely that everything will just sound legit. Or you won't be able to verify it yourself.

I work in a field that is mostly related to law and accounting... My biggest fear is to be replaced by a person who pretends that the AI’s output is smart

Aaaaaah. I know this person. They're an accountant. They recently learned about AI. They're starting to use it more at work. They're not technical. I told them about hallucinations. They said the AI rarely wrong. When he's not 100% convinced, he says he asks the AI to cite the source.... 🤦 I told him it can hallucinate the source! ... And then we went back to "it's rarely wrong though."

Yep, great links. That's what I've been using. Not all the content I'm looking for is available as torrents though. On top of that, I'm mainly interested in Latino Spanish dubs, not Spanish Spanish.

I should try more sites from the downloading category though. I just automatically went to the torrenting section and skipped over others.

 

I've been looking for content to watch in Spanish. Unfortunately, I can't always find what I'm looking for on torrent sites. However, I have noticed that sometimes the content I'm interested in is on a streaming site, but they don't offer downloads.

Are there any guides for downloading streams?

One thing I recently learned is that some (all?) of those streaming sites use HTTP Live Streaming. Apparently, I just need to find the URL for the master .m3u8 file? Then I can point yt-dlp to that URL to download all of the segments.

One obstacle to this approach is that a lot of these sites (all?) add a debugger trap thingy in order to deter the use of browser devtools.

Also, I didn't realize VLC can play .m3u8 streams, so you can verify the link there first.

Is there a more standard approach here? I feel like I'm fumbling my way through this.

Wow. First he switched to Linux, now he's de-googling, self-hosting?? I mean... good. 👏

Lemmy is my main social media. I don't use anything else. Occasionally, I still get reddit in my search results though.

Oh, I also use Discord.

I don't currently have a backup computer. And that's bitten me more than a few times. I've been meaning to buy a spare.

A mashup using elements from this old dancing PSA:

 

Vala is a new programming language that allows modern programming techniques to be used to write applications that run on the GNOME runtime libraries, particularly GLib and GObject. This platform has long provided a very complete programming environment, with such features as a dynamic type system and assisted memory management.

 

Uses Gnome Builder, mentions support of different languages, Blueprint, and talks a lot about styling and app layout.
