I just spent the better part of the day trying to get a "music archival tool" to work, but I wasn't able to get my Spotify account to connect.

The eventual solution I ended up with was to spin up a Windows VM, get the tool connected to my Spotify account there and copy over the config file from the Windows installation to my (Linux BTW) actual computer.

Of course, I've never really dabbled in emulation past old video game consoles, so getting a Windows VM up and running involved its own troubleshooting... The whole thing felt absurd, especially since there are so many easy ways to download music, but this was one of those times where I didn't want to let the computer best me.

Honnêtement, l'Acadie est forte en maudit en matière de musique. Tellement de great artistes de par ici, surtout considérant la grandeur de la population!

I'm also on GrapheneOS running IronFox and customizing the homepage works fine for me.

French Canada you say?

I'll suggest Ring Ring by P'tit Belliveau off his self-titled album dropped last year.

P'tit Belliveau is an Acadian from Nova Scotia, and has quickly risen to the top of the French Canadian music scene these past few years after seeing initial popularity from his early hit "Mon drapeau acadjonne vient d'Taiwan".

This is such a dumb comment, I love it. It honestly made me feel better about things. Everything is just star remnants trying to coexist.

I get that and totally respect it, and I never pursue further conversation unless I get a chatty vibe from the customer.

However it's insanely rude to ignore me to my face after I've just asked you a question. If someone answers "Fine. Cappuccino to-go." that's really all I'm asking for. I'm not simply an interface through which you get coffee, I'm a human person, and I think customer service staff deserve to be treated as such.

You can just answer "fine" and I'll be satisfied though, it's really easy to sus out who wants to chat up their barista and who just wants to go in, order, get out. I'm not seeking to force anyone into a conversation they don't want, I just want a faint acknowledgment of my humanity, you know?

Any ports used in docker will be open on your computer and accessible to any device in your network.

However, to open up a port to the internet, you'd have to do port-forwarding on your router. If you haven't done that, any incoming connections will just be dropped at the router-level.

Canadian governor

Premier. Not governor.

In Canada, the electricity sector is under provincial jurisdiction, not federal, so this would not need to be discussed on a national level.

I work in a coffee shop; I already feel sufficiently dehumanized by the amount of people who answer my "how are you today?" with "cappuccino to-go". I would hate to work in a café where you order via your phone.

That's actually so cool and the more I think about it the more it's making me really want to host my own Lemmy instance. Can I ask what sort of hardware resources you're running it on?

Grocery stores are not billionaires, seeing as they're not people.

I'm reading it so I'd say it works!

Tweet text from Philippe J. Fournier of 338Canada:

📊Multiple polls confirm dramatic shift in momentum, as Liberals close in on Conservatives.

Edit: why was this downvoted?

I'd assume less pro-Churchill sentiment, more "people don't read articles and are wondering why you brought up Churchill"

"Quebecers" is absolutely the worst demonym I've ever had the misfortune of hearing.

I'd honestly rather use "Quebecans" or "Quebecinites" than "Quebecers". That being said, I'm francophone so I just say "québécois et québécoises".

I recommend posting in !selfhosted@lemmy.world, really helpful community there (although I'd refrain from specifically mentioning piracy).

I've heard Hetzner is quick to crack down on piracy. Some VPS hosters advertise that they don't acknowledge DMCA requests, such as Njalla and 1984 (I've never used these, just found them by searching Lemmy). If you want to go with a traditional hoster I'll echo what the other person said and recommend Gluetun to bind your container to a VPN service.

For security, if it's just for you and your partner I'd just setup a Wireguard server on the VPS and tunnel into it that way. You'll have to setup the VPN on any device you want to access your server with, which is a hassle, but I'd much prefer the small hassle than the constant worrying of hosting publicly-accessible services. Otherwise, I'd setup something like Crowdsec or Fail2Ban.

This person pops up every time someone on Lemmy mentions web browsers to aggressively deride Mozilla for being mostly funded by Google (which is a fair point that I agree with) and then they turn around and recommend Chromium-based browsers.

I've tried and I found it difficult to engage in good-faith conversation with them.

"Public benefit corporation" is such an oxymoron, I know it's cliché to say this but it reads like something out of 1984.

If your goal is truly to benefit the public, why wouldn't you start a non-profit? It's because they want profits, which will always be at odds with the interests of the public.

Honestly, you might just have to wait until she's done with puberty. This just sounds like a typical teenager whose brain is addled with hormones. It'll die down with time.
