Invidious is switching to a new paradigm where the part that talks to YouTube will be split out into it's own service called invidious-companion. While not part of the current release, they have instructions for setting it up, and it's what I'm currently using. The only things that don't work right now are live videos and the Clipious Android TV app (the phone app works fine). If you don't need either of those things, I recommend starting with invidious-companion

You don't need an account. Just go to the website and see if it works.

Have you tried going to other instances directly? I haven't had any issues with lemmy.ml it could just be that your instance is having issues.

Oh hey it's by that guy who gave my university $30m so the university could spend another $100m to make a building with his name on it while we had a ton of infrastructure in disrepair. nice.

ArcaneChat is dope. I'm testing it out with my partner right now. The built-in Jitsi button is super helpful. My extended family (about 30 people) switched over to signal a few years ago, so there is some inertia there, but for any new chats, DeltaChat (and ArcaneChat for Android users) is what I'm going to push for.

Yeah I really don't know how they thought that was a good explanation for them to remove the "we won't sell your data" stuff. Absolutely bonkers.

I don't use No-Script specifically, but I have not had any issues with the extensions I do use. It's easy enough to test yourself, though.

Well, I don't know about OP, but MY purpose for using Librewolf is to have something that is not run by Mozilla and doesn't call home to Mozilla, has a strong contribution history, exists in nixpkgs, and can be fully configured in Nix Home Manager. Librewolf is the only fork that checks those boxes. The security benefits are just a nice side-effect when they fit with my workflow.

Ramblings about degoogle-ing, and going further for the fun of it.

 

I just wanted to shout out TRMNL.

They have an interesting product, and they're trying to build a business that includes a lot of open source aspects.

The device that they sell is proprietary, but it's also just an ESP32, screen, enclosure, and battery, with a custom PCB for convenience. They plan to add instructions to build your own device, and their firmware is open source under a GPLv3 license.

By default, their device connects to their servers, and they have a slick web configuration tool for people who don't care about having smart devices call home, but you can easily modify the firmware to connect to your own self-hosted server instead. As of this evening, both the Phoenix and Sinatra server implementations are open source under an MIT license after I pointed out that they had no license in an issue, and they pretty much immediately updated the repositories.

There are two other repositories that they have not added a license to, but given their swift response, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, and I would expect them to be updated shortly.

They have not shared all of the plugins that are available on their hosted service for use on a self-hosted instance, but a few are available for use and there are many plugins made by others available as well!

As soon as they update those last two repositories, I plan to pre-order one (unlike the conceptually cool VU Dials who's creators still have not added a license even after being called out by the co-creator of Rocky Linux).

 

The way he just blew off the 50/50 split criticism was pretty gross. Basing it off of Youtube's bad-relative-to-the-rest-of-the-market 45/55 split, and then making it worse is not great, especially when coming from someone who makes YouTube content for a living.

 

I'm having an annoying issue with pipewire. I have a Scarlett 8i6 audio interface. I have it set to Pro Audio so that I can access all the input and output channels, and I have virtual devices defined to allow applications to access groups of channels as discrete devices.

For some reason, all applications keep automatically switching to my secondary (mono) output. I can sometimes get them to switch to my primary stereo output, but it's only ever a one-off and they will switch back when the current media is done playing. any thoughts?

config:

context.modules = [
    {   name = libpipewire-module-loopback
        args = {
            node.description = "Primary - Focusrite Scarlett 8i6"
            capture.props = {
                node.name = "scarlett_8i6_primary"
                media.class = "Audio/Sink"
                audio.position = [ FL FR ]
            }
            playback.props = {
                node.name = "playback.scarlett_8i6_primary"

A few friends asked for me to walk through how I set up the dashboard I have in my kitchen, so I figured I'd share it here, too. Here is a barebones walkthrough with config files.
