VPN as the day of today? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] tyrant@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I use a VPN but you might look into portmaster and their spn. Its a little slow but even using portmaster without the spn you can filter your traffic and simply deny most apps access to the internet

When they were $25k and had impervious window they seemed like a reasonable albeit silly looking electric vehicle for work. Now... Not so much.

Because that chart doesn't show defense... Its Medicare, Medicaid, and then 4 blocks of (other)

I have a feeling that chart isn't being very genuine.

They've been moving goalposts for many many years. The dems can't even see their side of the field anymore.

Just because you paid for it doesn't mean you can't switch to the better, free option.

Mint (noob) default apps with wine (lemmy.world)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/18656931

Coming over from windows again. I've got pretty much everything figured out. I even got a VM going with my CAD software so I don't need to switch between Windows! I was super proud of myself on that one. The last thing I'm having trouble with....

I use pdfxchange for my PDF editor. It works great in wine but they don't have a specific Linux release. (If there is a good PDF editor that is Linux native let me know, I need good Mark up and dimensioning tools that can scale off of the drawings). I'm trying to set it to open PDFs by default but can't figure it out. Does someone have a good (easy) way to do it?

Older kids book recommendations (lemmy.world)

Anyone have suggestions for a 10 year old who likes comic mischief? He's a huge fan of diary of a wimpy kid series but his reading level has moved beyond that. He's also really enjoyed the wild robot series, Matilda, and the skunk and fox books.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: thank you all for your great recommendations. I'm going to check them all out with him tonight!

jellyfin + Xbox One playback issues (lemmy.world)
 

I've set up a jellyfin server on a Windows desktop machine (yeah I know, not the best option). I think hardware server side is more than sufficient with i7 4790 3.6ghz, 3060ti, 32gb ram. For client I'm using Xbox One x with jellyfin client. The server is currently connected via WiFi. I'm getting playback stuttering after about 20 min or so of playback. I'm hoping to get some guidance for transcoding settings and general setup help.

I don't think it's simply wifi causing the issue as the playback bar on Xbox shows the video is buffered for several minutes ahead of playback location.
