  • Only if you’re using an x86 version of Java. I have quite a few modpacks and realistic shaders and get 100+ fps using Azul’s Zulu JDK on a M2.

  • They really need to ship with the optional “bottom right corner is right click” as default, especially when I believe most people are conditioned to that. Fixes the accidental force-click pop ups imo.

  • Don’t have anything spectacular performance wise but my late 2012 i7 Mac Mini Server is reporting ~14w (with my services running and downloads happening) and I saw bursts up to 30w. Not too bad for 12yo Mac running Homebridge, 2 Navidrome instances, Jellyfin, nginx, Transmission, and SMB (looking into Nextcloud to replace that).

  • Looking to use internally, been using DNS challenge. Going to check up on it this morning.

  • So following dig ns domain in terminal vs web app on my phone (shared by another commenter and I had checked lemmy on mobile): my computer was resolving with a couple of different odd results including my public ipv6 address. On mobile it resolved properly.

    Checked my DNS and my computer’s dns had my public ip in the listing. So now after removing that, the domain resolves to the wildcard (which dumps at my opnsense router and throws the dns rebind error). So I’m assuming that should be it?

    Now I should only have to resolve configuring nginx properly.

    Thank you for suggesting the dig command!

  • Nope, just substituted out my domain for the post.

    Ran dig +trace and my domain and it returned a 100.x.x.x#53 public domain address.

  • I too am going from Apple Music to self-hosted.

    Personally I run Navidrome on my server. It has a web player for computers and play:Sub has been my mobile player of choice. Also supports offline downloading to your device. Super lightweight as well.

    • For acquiring music either I use Freyr-js (which finds the highest quality copy from Youtube/Youtube Music), Nicotine+ (frontend for soulseek) or check against Bandcamp and Soundcloud to see if your artists have uploaded there. Of course always support your favorite artists if you can, if not then 🤷‍♀️.

    If the tags for the music files are incorrect, I use Kid3 to correct them.

  • I really don’t see touchscreens on laptops to be something to judge a company’s innovation on. I work in communications and I can really only think of two coworkers that personally own touchscreen laptops.

  • If anyone is using an apple device, NetNewsWire is open source and is dead simple. No extra features, no premium tier, can sync with iCloud or self hosted servers, and the reader mode can be applied source-wide.

  • Technically won’t be able to download from the app store but using applications like imazing to download it and as long as you previously owned it, Apple will restore your purchases.

    I’ve been using a manga reader that got taken off the store around 2017, still use it and transfer it to each new device (works for both phone and iPad). The ad-free in-app purchase restores just fine too.

  • If you keep using your Apple TV and switch to Jellyfin as a backend, the Infuse application has been amazing. It’s free with a premium version (that does offer a lifetime license).

  • Guess what? An ATV natively supports keyboards and game controllers over Bluetooth. So for someone who doesn’t have an iPhone (the remote app is baked into iOS unfortunately) and reeeeeally hates tv remote typing and voice inputs, a mini keyboard is a viable option.

    You really didn’t do any research before making so many hot takes.

  • Thats awesome! Model Ms sound and feel so nice. I really didn’t get it til I typed on one in person. Now I have one as my work keyboard.

  • I’m surprised you’re only at medium settings, my M2 Pro is handling 1440p at mostly maxed settings (disabled DOF as it’s too aggressive and only double buffered vsync. I don’t have an FOS readout but it’s pretty good compared to before with Crossover and medium settings.

    Edit: followed the terminal command to show the Metal info and BG3 floats around 45-50fps ingame. Haven’t gone back to Act 3 yet so still not sure how it’d handle it. The FPS is stable enough that as a turn based RPG it’s quite playable.

  • It’s from the Touhou game series (shoot em up with anime girls based loosely on folklore). The song was originally level music for Touhou 4 (1998), but got remade in 2006 for an official album.

    Touhou fans are pretty die hard and the Bad Apple music video was many fan’s introduction to the franchise. Take that and the relative ease of recreation and it’s becomes a more than decade old meme.

  • Honestly the first android phone in years that’s caught my attention and if I hadn’t just gotten a new battery for my 12 mini I would’ve greatly considered the Zenfone.

  • As long as your dust isn’t conductive (such as metal dust from a machining shop) it really isn’t a real concern. Most of the time if dust kills something: its caked on, thermally choking components, and often mixed with something else like tar from cigarettes.

    Exposed and on display like this, the owner is probably going to be meticulous about air dusting it often.

  • I’d vouch for just getting a new SE. As others stated, support is incremental and a Series 4 is already dated in terms of support. And compared to the newer watches, the SE is a great value. It only misses out on some less important features and always on display.

    At first I thought I’d dislike not having always on display but I normally have to rotate my wrist anyways to check my watch which ends up waking the display anyways.

  • Another +1 for Rectangle.

    For me, a semi-recent convert from Windows, a fresh install of macOS includes:

    • Dropover, it has a limited free version (3 second wait time) or $5 for a one time ‘Pro’ version. It worked way better for me than Dropzone for copying files around and temporarily grabbing web images for Messages and Discord.
    • Top Notch, its free to use and cleanly hides the notch and just provides a clean black space for the menu bar.
    • SoundSource, yes its $40 and thats expensive af. However FOSS alternatives like Background Music kept crashing due to my external DAC. It’s a volume mixer, EQ tool, and audio IO selector.

    And finally if I need to run Windows tools or applications for some of my hobbies, I have Parallels on an external drive. That way Windows isn’t hogging space and is isolated when I don’t need it.

  • They are currently closed source like Brave for now but it’s a relatively new browser and still technically open beta (I’m on 0.99.124.4.1).

    They say they are working on going open source. However their Github seems to currently get infrequent updates.
