I've heard Kobo is better than the other big players when it comes to interoperability with open formats / self hosted setups.

As for the servers

The main one

A popular newer one

Also (to everyone else reading your comment) let's not downvote good faith comments, especially when they're phrased as a question and wanting to learn more

Makes me think of Original Position / veil of ignorance

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_position

The original position (OP), often referred to as the veil of ignorance, is a thought experiment often associated with the works of American philosopher John Rawls. In the original position, one is asked to consider which principles they would select for the basic structure of society, but they must select as if they had no knowledge ahead of time what position they would end up having in that society. This choice is made from behind a "veil of ignorance", which prevents them from knowing their ethnicity, social status, gender, and (crucially in Rawls's formulation) their or anyone else's ideas of how to lead a good life. Ideally, this would force participants to select principles impartially and rationally.

With that in mind, I LOVE how lean and fast some FOSS apps/projects are. One of my motivations to go searching for FOSS alternatives is when something seems slow for no reason.

It's not always the case, but it's often the case

Solid food photography as well!

Onion rings maybe?

Fair enough, thanks :)

since swapped to PieFed’s software and have been finding it to be a much better match for me and my personal usecase

How do you find it for day to day usage? We're exploring having that be an option, but have also heard that it "isn't quite ready yet"

I was just curious if there was a cooking community hosted on the Lemmy.ca instance

I don't think so, although someone did set up !shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca here. So far I've been using !foodporn@lemmy.world, !food@beehaw.org, !cooking@lemmy.world and similar communities

Oh interesting, I didn't know that was a thing

Quoting from: https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/1bapfkl

The armv8 architecture which the DS218 uses is supported by Container Manager, Synology just put a hardcoded config into the official package to exclude certain models from installing it:

exclude_model="synology_rtd1296_ds118 synology_rtd1296_ds218 synology_rtd1296_ds218play synology_rtd1296_ds418 synology_rtd1296_ds418j synology_armada37xx_ds119j synology_rtd1296_rs819"

Pretty sure the https://github.com/007revad/ContainerManager_for_all_armv8 linked above just removes the hardcoded exclusion and doesn't need to change anything else to get it to work.

If that workaround looks shady, you might be better off just installing docker directly

Which Synology NAS is it, and can you install Container Manager on it? That might be the simplest option since your files are already on that device. There should be lots of guides out there for it.

Container Manager is basically a worse DockGE / Portainer by Synology. It should be sufficient for pasting in the Jellyfin docker compose, but if you wanted you could also spin up DockGE/Portainer first and do it through that interface (or SSH into the NAS and do it all with the command line)

So the setup would be

• run Jellyfin as a Docker container on the Synology NAS (using either Container Manager or DockGE/Portainer/straight up command line)
• try it out with the web browser/desktop app/mobile apps to see if you like it
• find a setup that you find convenient for the TV (ex. Android TV apps with some device, the desktop app on the PC, etc)

EDIT: Looks like there are official guides for it, as well as lots of videos on YouTube: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/synology/

I gather Plex is at least semi-commercial while Jellyfin is the open source but worse option.

I haven't used Plex enough to judge, but from the comments I've seen it seems that Jellyfin is now on par with or better than Plex. There was also some news recently about Plex moving more core features (remote playback?) to the paid plans, so I imagine there will be more people moving over soon.

There are a lot of options for client side apps, official and unofficial, so you might be able to find something specific to your setup

Thanks! It has been added

I thought it might be in settings but I don't see it. For me, I got an option for "just this one" vs "always" when I tried to open a video, and it seems to be remembering that.

You could try backing up any settings and resetting the app to see if you get anything different, although it really should let you pick a default at any point

Facebook/Meta made itself to be the de facto method for accessing the internet in the region, and then refused to regulate its engagement-based algorithm as it fueled violence and unrest in the region

https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/09/myanmar-facebooks-systems-promoted-violence-against-rohingya-meta-owes-reparations-new-report/

Facebook owner Meta’s dangerous algorithms and reckless pursuit of profit substantially contributed to the atrocities perpetrated by the Myanmar military against the Rohingya people in 2017, Amnesty International said in a new report published today.

The Social Atrocity: Meta and the right to remedy for the Rohingya, details how Meta knew or should have known that Facebook’s algorithmic systems were supercharging the spread of harmful anti-Rohingya content in Myanmar, but the company still failed to act.

“In 2017, the Rohingya were killed, tortured, raped, and displaced in the thousands as part of the Myanmar security forces’ campaign of ethnic cleansing. In the months and years leading up to the atrocities, Facebook’s algorithms were intensifying a storm of hatred against the Rohingya which contributed to real-world violence,” said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.

Also beautiful places

If you have a moment, do you have any foods from Burma that you would recommend we try someday?

The Fossify one is decent

Welcome, glad to have you here! 😊

Welcome 😊

Added as well!

I added both to the 🍁 Social / Culture section, and I listed this one as Logiciels libres au Québec

Added!

IIRC they stopped collecting data briefly because it was affecting the sites they were checking. They must have fixed that since it's running again

On my end, both were pretty bad

Content moderation seemed to be non-existent, and the reports might as well have gone into the trash

Also no matter how much I tried to control the feed, I'd still get content that was gross (trypophobia), sexual, or chumbox like.

The legitimate ones could charge for large files / batch processing

As for which ones are legitimate and which ones are malware, ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
