How to run development server?

How would I run this on my computer so I can test edits to the source? I am working on implementing an issue I submitted (and I might also see if I can figure out kbin support as well), and I have tried to run the server using the command python3 lmmy.py, but it does not seem to do anything. I get no command line output, and I can not load the page.

What do you swear by?
  • I am sure you probably could get FL Studio to run as well with some time and research.

  • My main troubles with Wine were when I tried to get Roblox to run under it. It ran, but only barely, and I don't quite know why, but I had to use Grapejuice to get it to run without feeling like it was running on a low-end computer from 2005.

  • this is literally so true

  • Printing Rant! Why is this so hard?
  • I was thinking someone could make a firmware like Tasmota but for printers that can be installed on many existing printers, and a company could make a printer that runs that is designed to run that firmware just like how you can get smart home devices designed to run Tasmota. Also, we just need printers that properly support IPP.

  • I don't think we would need to host our own Matrix server (although I have already needed to switch Matrix servers once because one stopped working and my support E-mail was never answered, so it would be nice to have a Matrix server I can rely on to not shut down), although I would like to try to avoid Discord (I much prefer Matrix due to the different client options available, and it being open source is pretty nice as well).

  • What do you swear by?
  • Wine can be difficult to get working right (I have tried to use Wine for a few things before and I also had issues with it that I couldn't solve), so it doesn't surprise me that it doesn't work right for you. It is a miracle that they can get any apps to run on a completely different operating system, and audio software tends to be very complicated and often depends on system APIs.

  • Printing Rant! Why is this so hard?
  • I wonder if even just an open source firmware for printers could work.

  • Printing Rant! Why is this so hard?
  • I have a Brother printer that barely works with anything, but on Linux it works perfectly fine.

  • What do you swear by?
  • It looks like at least FL Studio can work with Wine, but you have to use ASIO for audio.

  • A list of casual communities on Lemmy (that aren't just tech news or politics)
  • This is a great list of communities! Nice to see that [email protected] made it on here.

  • Supporting our instance
  • I wonder if you should create a Matrix space for coordinating all of this stuff. If some people volunteer to administrate the instance it would probably be good to have a place where communication about that can happen, and it would also be good to have somewhere to communicate when the instance is down (the Mastodon account would maybe work for that, but I think it would work better for updates about server status than for discussion).

    Also, I would love to help as a sysadmin. I don't have that much experience with server hosting (I have run a Minecraft server for some people before on a dedicated computer running Linux and hosted some things on Raspberry Pis, but that is it), and I don't have too much time to do it (I can't really have any responsibilities to manage something), but I could help some with troubleshooting difficult issues and stuff (I have quite a bit of experience with using Linux and troubleshooting weird problems with various software).

  • What do you swear by?
  • I think music production software uses some system APIs that might not even be possible to replicate with Wine or Proton.

  • Is there any kit for Bluetooth devices that can be used to easily change factory implemented names of devices like speakers, headset etc ?
  • I do not believe there is any way to change it without connecting directly to the device's circuitry, and in some widgets it may even be stored in the ROM, so a Flipper Zero would not be of much help (unless the board has some sort of programming interface you could connect to the Flipper Zero).

    Server Issues

    Lately there appears to be some issues with the instance (sometimes it is completely down and I have also been getting a lot of 504 errors) and I was wondering if this is a known issue and when it may be fixed.

    Mastodon Client with Pagination

    I was wondering if there are any Mastodon clients (desktop or mobile) that support pagination like that of Lemmy. I do not like infinite scrolling, and much prefer pagination with page numbers, but I have only seen clients with infinite scrolling or a 'load more' button.

    wefwef Voyager is a neat mobile-focused client I found that is similar to the Apollo client for Reddit. It is a web app (and probably the best web app I have ever used), so it takes almost no space to install and works on many platforms (currently the interface is styled to look like an iOS native app, but they are planning on making an Android theme).

    Recently, they also released mobile apps, which work better than the PWA sometimes.

    How to stretch an image to correct for perspective and lens distortion?

    I have this image and I would like to stretch the game board into a square, but I have not found any way to easily do this yet. I was wondering if anyone else here might know how to do this.

    Question about a new community

    I am a moderator on the subreddit r/illegallysmolbirbs, and we are considering creating a Lemmy Community. I am not sure if it would be on-topic for this community, so I figured I would ask you all if you think it would fit well here.
