Newpipe {mob) or Freetube let you watch without sign in?

Why different DEs for laptop/desktop may I ask?

WebDAV only on mobile and via third-party apps

At the moment, Sync-in does not yet offer a dedicated mobile application. We know this is an important point for many users️ and we plan to address it thanks to community contributions and sponsorship.

This might be obvious but it could be caching? Use a tool like dig to check if it’s really updated. Not had a problem with duckdns, works good.

Hedy is an open source programming language that is broken into levels for easy learning. As you progress the language gains more capabilities, so they are never overwhelmed with too much

In contrast to block based languages like scratch its goal is to leave students ready to switch to Python by the end.

Each level has small tasks to complete so you can tackle it piece by piece and get a sense of progression.

That would be Snap!

It’s become somewhat of a trend over the last several months for new projects to describe themselves as ‘modern’. Not only is this not a helpful descriptor (What is ‘modern’? Is the design modern? The codebase?), but a good portion of the time it’s simply not true.

I keep seeing ‘blazing/blazingly fast’ everywhere too, with a rocket or such emoji

Self-hosting anything that is deemed “content” openly on the web in 2025 is a battle of attrition between you and forces who are able to buy tens of thousands of proxies to ruin your service for data they can resell.

This is depressing. Profoundly depressing.

Sigh

This dir structure for git projects is the best one I think, especially if managing multiple identities/git configurations. Git has a ‘includeif’ to change your setup depending on which dir you are currently in:

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#_includes

https://runbox.com/ from Norway

Thanks for that, makes sense. I like that Amber gives the ability to code more defensively/robustly where appropriate but can also get out the way if you just need to run a bunch of BASH raw.

Interesting. There is this example in the docs:

let result = $ cat file.txt | grep "READY" $ failed {
    echo "Failed to read the file"
}

https://docs.amber-lang.com/basic_syntax/commands

How can we know for sure what failed here? Was it the cat or the grep? My instinct says the pipe returns the code of the last cmd or failure, which could be either.

Perhaps it’s just a contrived example and it would be better to separate testing file existence from grepping in real code…

copyq has some guidance for wayland issues:

https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/3313#issuecomment-3538526927

…but some things such as global shortcuts may depend on your choice of compositor, GNOME has no support at all for example.

It seems some people transition easily to wayland and some do not, it really depends on your setup unfortunately. Maybe it’ll get easier over time.

This is new:

https://github.com/dkorecko/PatchPanda

Self-hostable Docker Compose stack update manager.

And

when you choose to update, PatchPanda edits compose/.env files and runs docker compose pull and docker compose up -d for the target stack. You can also view live log.

Discovered in the latest Self Host Weekly:

I have not tried it myself tho.

The link seems to say Threads support is only available as an add-on and therefore not simple to use with containerised HASS. This would be true for any Threads antenna though.

How frustrating about the hangs, looks like this has been a problem for years in various desktops and file managers and you’ve already found the best mitigation (keeping the mounts out of home)

I think some of the answer is expressed in the article:

To service and retain this loyal userbase then, you might imagine that Mozilla would address their needs and concerns with what made Phoenix a great first version back in 2002. A lightweight and versatile standards-compliant and open-source web browser with acceptable privacy standards, and without any other non-browser features attached to it. Just a browser, only a browser, and above all, a fast browser.

Instead, Mozilla appear to be following a course calculated to alarm rather than retain these users. Making themselves an AI-focused organisation, neglecting their once-unbeatable developer network, and trying to sneak data gathering into their products.

This looks useful, thanks

When xdg-ninja encounters a file or directory it knows about, it will tell you whether it’s possible to move it to the appropriate location, and how to do it.

The configurations are from the arch wiki page on XDG_BASE_DIR, antidot (thanks to Scr0nch for writing a conversion tool), and crowdsourced by other users.

Maybe look into autofs which will mount only when you choose to access the drives and then unmount on idle. Could be simpler then trying to react to network status.

Never seen ffprofile before that’s useful. Wonder how up to date it is with all the new ml options.
