Good client or tool for managing community subscriptions across instances?

I used to use the instances view in Liftoff for this, since that client has a really handy “View this on another instance” feature for both communities and posts, but lately that view as well as Liftoff in general has had some pretty serious stability issues for me, so here’s the question:...

TwinTurbo,

I’ve used lemmy_migrate in the past and it’s good for one-way copy. I’ve also seen lasim, but I haven’t tried it. You may find other options on awesome-lemmy.

TwinTurbo,

Could you share what your favourite features of Infinity are? I’ve never used it before, here or on the old site.

TwinTurbo,

That’s it! If you don’t specify a host path, i.e. the path before the colon, Docker will create an volume which saves any changes you make to that path in the container, but won’t mount any existing path from the host to the container.

TwinTurbo,

No users to answer questions? No problem…

TwinTurbo,

What is the frequency indicator on the right side of your system panel?

TwinTurbo,

Are such third-party devices trustworthy? A few months ago it turned out that a lot of Android set top boxes that you can buy on Amazon come with pre-installed spyware that you can’t remove. Wouldn’t the same be a risk here?

TwinTurbo,

Nice, looking forward to it!

Tip: Easier toggling of Wi-Fi/cellular data on Android 12

Turning Wi-Fi, data on/off on Android 12 is more difficult compared to previous versions. You have to stretch your fingers to the top of the screen to access quick settings, tap the new internet tile (no actual quick toggles) and that will open a menu for toggling wifi and data....

TwinTurbo,

I used to follow the OnePlus magazine on the old site. I can’t remember the last time I read something good a OnePlus user said about their phone.

TwinTurbo,

But why would you need to disable mobile data when you enable WiFi? WiFi is automatically preferred, so having the mobile data toggle on or off doesn’t matter while connected to WiFi.

TwinTurbo,

PairDrop is an improved version of SnapDrop that works both locally and over the Internet. I’ve found it more reliable to set up.

TwinTurbo,

Yes, I think that’s it. Their website really don’t make it easy to figure out…

TwinTurbo,

You can’t change icons from the system/launcher settings. Individual apps can offer icon options, but they are internal to the app.

thank you Linux for giving a damn about Bluetooth headphones (feddit.de)

For context, LDAC is one of the few wireless audio codecs stamped Hi-Res by the Japan Audio Society and its encoder is open source since Android 8, so you can see just how long Windows is sleeping on this. I’m excited about the incoming next gen called LC3plus, my next pair is definitely gonna have that.

TwinTurbo,

Use opusenc directly. It preserves covers and the CLI is literally opusenc --bitrate B INPUT OUTPUT.

XDA article generalize linux experience with the one of HoloISO (www.xda-developers.com)

I quote “But installing a secondary SSD required me to input some commands and change a text file (again, on Windows, it’s almost literally plug and play), and I had an absolutely awful time trying to configure an app called MangoHUD, which I use for benchmarking on the Steam Deck. It took me a couple of hours to get...

TwinTurbo,

Not surprising. The quality of their articles is usually mediocre at best. I occasionally look at their RSS feed and most of what I see is “How do I achieve <trivial task>”–style posts.

To switch or not to switch, that is the question

Hello fellow lemmings! Fedora KDE user here, and quite happy about it, it didn’t break a single time and packages are up to date. The only thing that bother me is DNF’s speed… a single search may take up to 5 seconds, and if I’m dependency-hunting I may need several searches, summing up the delays. I’m asking if...

TwinTurbo,

I can’t comment on zypper, but I suggest you use dnf -C when searching for packages. This will use the local index cache and will skip some of the overhead or checking—and possibly updating—the cache, thus making searches much quicker.

Ping/access webserver behind CGNAT?

Hi guys! IN a bit of a rush, I installed a server on a place where I knew I’d have trouble reaching, as their router is behind CGNAT. I want now to start installing some VMs etc. At the moment all I have is a VM running Windows running Teamviewer for remote access (I know, I know). I have most of my services hosted on a local...

TwinTurbo,

Yes, you can connect the device behind CGNAT to your existing VPN as a client. Then, from inside the VPN, you would use the its virtual address to connect to it. You can use a systemd service or similar to have the VPN connect at boot.

TwinTurbo,

Yes. All devices connected to the VPN will have a private IP inside the virtual network. You can use these to communicate as though they were public IPs, except that they can’t be used from outside the VPN.

TwinTurbo,

You would need to set up routes on these other devices to tell them that VPN devices can be reached through the Pi. It’s possible, but I’ve never done it myself, so I don’t have any useful pointers.

TwinTurbo,

There are a few default instances in the settings page, and you can add your own as well.

TwinTurbo,

There is also an other approach: encode your media a priori into a format that you can play direct, and then you don’t have to worry about transcoding performance. The advantage of this is that you can likely get better quality encodes.

TwinTurbo,

I was sceptical at first, but it’s great! It properly parses repos, it shows you a preview of where you’re about to download from, and if there are multiple assets in a release it lets you pick the right one. And then it does auto-updates just like an F-Droid client!

TwinTurbo,

The developer has just announced that Relay will continue to function and will switch to a subscription model, so there probably won't be a Relay for Lemmy, unfortunately :(

TwinTurbo,

Yeah, this is the problem. If you watch YouTube every day, sure, I get it, storage and bandwidth cost money. But if you’re an occasional user who watches a few videos a week, no way is the subscription worth it.

What's the proper way to create a link to a community? Abkhazian

One annoying thing I noticed on Lemmy is that is someone mentions a Community and links to it, that link usually just opens up the “home” instance of that community. While I actually wanted to see it on my instance so I can join it an participate. What is the proper way to do it? Or is there some browser plugin that makes...

TwinTurbo,

See this post: https://lemmy.world/post/77145

You remove the instance's domain name from the URL, the same way you remove reddit.com when linking to subreddits. You then append it at the end of the URL with an @. For example, https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy --> /c/[email protected]

EDIT: Starting with Lemmy 0.18.0, you won't need to do this manually anymore!

Cannot reach one specific IPv6 from one specific network

My home ISP does CGNAT for IPv4, but provides native IPv6. I can use IPv6 just fine to access most of my resources, except for one specific server. I can access the server over IPv4 from my home network, and either over v4 or v6 from other networks I’ve tried. But I can’t access it over IPv6 from my home network....

TwinTurbo,

I’ve tried from networks outside my home and I can access the server from there. Looking at a traceroute, I stop getting anything somewhere between my ISP and the datacenter the server is in.

TwinTurbo,

I do this, too. I haven’t tried Tailscale, but Netmaker wasn’t able to deal with my CGNAT without a relay node, and I found that to be hit-and-miss.

TwinTurbo,

Tailscale and Netmaker use wireguard under the hood, so as long as you manage to establish the connections, they should be just as fast! If you need to use relaying, however, that will introduce additional overhead.
