  • Thanks.

    I do have wireguard on my server as well, I guess it's similar to what tailscale does?

    Too bad my friends from Russia can't connect to me, it might be because we are doing something wrong, but most likely wiregueard is somehow (DPI?) blocked in Russia.

    I can connect to my own wireguard, it routes all my traffic and I can access any blocked sites, as well as access other people via «local» IPs over wireguard. I think this uses NAT traversal and we exchange data directly over wireguard. But somehow some friens are not able to use that.

    Do you know if Yggdrasil does something similar and if we exchange data directly when playing over Yggdrasil virtual IPv6 network?

  • It's funny that my device that is as powerful as a dozen of computers were ten years ago can't do a thing as simple as save a bunch of lines into a plaintext file and then read this plaintext file and open each line without a desktop.

    Thanks for suggestion.

  • Is there an option to save all open tabs into a bookmark folder, turn open back that bookmark folder into tabs?

    After that I'll definitely will delete that folder. Wish there was a way to keep that folder unsynced as well.

    I'll definitely try this, thanks!

  • If only there was a way to disable MIUI optimization or change ROM witgout losing all your app data in 2024…

  • This is actually pretty different, because alternative friends allow you to read posts and comments, but not login, upvote/downvote or post anything, but I use firemonkey addon with a redirect script.

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firemonkey/

    https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/441742-farside-redirect/code

    (Firemonkey is compatible with greasymonkey scripts)

    Allows to also use other useful scripts, but just as a redirector it's good if you just need to open and read posts.

    The script uses https://farside.link/ as a «backend» to get new alternative frontends, for reddit it mostly uses teddit or libreddit (though this project probably was renamed to Redlib or somethong).

    Also redirects YT, Fandom wiki, wikipedia and many more.

  • If you are good with all of this stuff, can you tell me if usijg bore relays traffic or creates some kind of direct (P2P?) connection between devices?

    I have a device without public IP, AFAIK behind NAT, and a server. If I use bore to open a port through my server and host a game, and my friends connect to me via IP, will we have big ping (as in, do packets travel to the server first, then to me) or low ping (as in, do packets travel straight to me)?

    In other words, is bore good to play with friends when games use a method if connection via IP when you have a server with public IP, but host a game on your local device without public IP?

    We are currently using yggdrasil for this and connect via «local» IPv6.

  • Are you just posting a link, or an author?

  • Is it trying to solve any problem that is not solved by rsync/rclone?

    Don't get me wrong, I love new tools, just curious how is it different (better or worse) from rsync?

  • Depending on your phone / android version / launcher this cab mean different things I guess.

    On my phone (MIUI) a dot like that means this is a new app, after you launch it a few times using that icon (using icon, not by other means like jumping into app from a notification or via opening a link) that dot disappears.

  • Others have said already, but XMPP and RSS. Also, nobody mentioned NNTP yet.

    I wish everything was accessible by NNTP and we had better NNTP clients. NNTP is like RSS but for forums (so, Lemmy, Reddit, or anything where you could reply to posts). Download for offline reading, read in your client, define your own formatting, sorting, filtering, your client, your rules.

    If Lemmy was accessible via NNTP, I could just download all posts and comments I'm interested in and reply to them without any connection, and my replies would get synced with the server later when I connect to WiFi or something.

  • Is there a link to this talk (or interview, or whatever this is) but in a video format, or at least a text without all those «SEE ALSO» self ads?

  • People that live in a place where 4 mbps speeds are a norm.

  • For future readers: if you want something like Rimworld, but with a fantasy setting instead of SciFi, there's Dwarf Fortress. But yes, it can be confusing, so Rimworld is easier to get into, as it's more user friendly.

  • Believe it or not, I had a similar question just today.

    However, what I want is to add tasks to todo.txt and somehow see them in my calendar (as events or as a task list, my calendar app supports task lists as well as calendars). I was thinking of a way to turn my tasks from todo.txt to calendar events or something and I guess a script on a server (I have a server and use it to sync stuff like notes and files) could watch for changes, parse them and add servers to Google calendar.

    Anyway, it's a slightly different question, and I can't answer your question.

    Maybe there's a python library to work with Google keep notes, and you too could sync your todo.txt with your server (using syncthing) and watch file for changes, parse them and send them to Google keep using some API. I'm not sure if it's possible but you could try searching in that direction.

  • I hope someone watches it and post a tl;dr here.

    I'm interested too, but I don't understand why everything has to be a video (instead of something like a blog post) and don't have an hour for that.

  • But can you use it to send to a device where you can't install stuff?

  • There are even services that give you free temporary servers. I don't know why anyone would use that instead of just finding any server and use a free room if you just want to talk with friends, but well, it exists.

    You go to a service like that, press a button, it generates you some random port number and password, then you connect to that server with mumble and become an admin of it. The server is temporary and gets automatically destroyed after some fixed period (usually something like 24 hours).

    Also what I tried to do with my friends is run Yggdrasil and connect directly via IPv6 (so I run Yggdrasil and launch a mumble server, and all my friends enter my IPv6 address) and that works too, so no need to have public IPs or domain names to use Mumble anymore.

    Yggdrasil is such a cool thing, loving it.

  • Open source version of lastfm is librefm AFAIK, unless it was rebranded to music brainz or something.

    However I never tried librefm and don't know if it has anything like recommendations system.

  • But for real, if you can't / don't want to host your own server, just use any server from hundreds of available servers.
