MACKLEMORE - Hind's Hall 2 (feat. Anees, MC Abdul, Amer Zahr)
  • Can’t listen without signing in. I bought the first one. It’s a powerful song.

  • Is it possible to change the icon of a website when saving to the Home Screen from Safari?

    I don't mind paying for YouTube Premium.
  • Thank you for having a conscience. I agree.

  • 10 horror comedies that perfectly blend laughs and scares
  • I’ve checked IMDB and one of the reviews explicitly says that characteristic Native humour is missing, so it seems you’re right about the consensus. I wonder if some of the parts I laughed at were not intended to be funny. A good reason to watch it again.

    Edit: here we go, some good quotes from the movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7394674/quotes/

  • 10 horror comedies that perfectly blend laughs and scares
  • Interesting. I thought it was very funny.

  • Finland refuses EU request to accept critically ill patients from Gaza
  • Kiitos, that was insightful. I’ve heard of the “don’t complain” trait before. I think it can lead to painful repression in us as people.

    Essentially the only problems we have is the ones we've created ourself, is my point. But then most Finns don't want to recognise those issues. Which **is** one of the main issues.

    That does sound like an impossible situation.

  • Finland refuses EU request to accept critically ill patients from Gaza
  • I’m used to see impressive and progressive news about Finland. I know it’s easy to fawn over a place I haven’t been to, but it seems to have its “head screwed on” in terms of governance and quality of life.

  • Mozilla has fired Chief Product Officer Steve Teixeira after cancer diagnosis
  • It’s one thing to tweak a browser that comes in kit form from Mozilla’s code. It’s another thing altogether to continue maintaining it if Firefox ever dies. I don’t know if any of these clones have the kind of teams needed to do all the work Mozilla have done for them.

  • Help me find a USB adaptor for a PS/2 type plug. Searching online just gets me Playstations!
  • I don't have it with me because I'm helping someone remotely, but I'm almost certain it's a PS/2 connection from a previous video call we had. I'll double check though because that's a good point you make. I should look out for that possibility.

  • Help me find a USB adaptor for a PS/2 type plug. Searching online just gets me Playstations!
  • Thanks. I'm helping someone with this but I'll get them to send me the manual that came with this to see if I can get more details on the power requirements. From the video I linked in another comment, it seems to work.

  • Help me find a USB adaptor for a PS/2 type plug. Searching online just gets me Playstations!
  • Maybe the part I heard about is specially made to account for that too. Hmm. Thanks, I'll look into it further. Edit: according to this video (3 minutes, 15 seconds mark), the adaptors do work.

    Help me find a USB adaptor for a PS/2 type plug. Searching online just gets me Playstations!

    I'm losing my mind. This old graphics tablet connects to the PS/2 port on an old PC for power. There's a separate serial cable for the actual data connection. I want to supply it power without needing to connect it to a PS/2 port, so an adapter for USB would be ideal.

    I know others have achieved this but I can't find the details. Can anyone help? The search results are full of Playstations because it misinterprets the "PS/2" part.

    Jellyfin has locked up my server. Should I reboot or wait?
  • Oh, I see what you mean. Thanks, I’ll look into it.

  • The Universe As We Know It May End Sooner Than Expected
  • That could solve a lot of my problems.

  • Jellyfin has locked up my server. Should I reboot or wait?
  • Someone suggested renicing the processes. Not sure how practical it would be but I’ll look into it. Besides that I think I’ll just return to using an SMB server. It was ugly but it was easy :) The Pi4 isn’t expensive these days either. Thanks again, I appreciate it!

  • Jellyfin has locked up my server. Should I reboot or wait?
  • I never thought of that, good idea. This docker image spins off a lot of processes so I wonder if there’s a high-level way to instruct that for all of them.

  • Jellyfin has locked up my server. Should I reboot or wait?
  • That’s really interesting. I did a quick test and the RAM usage is still creeping up but I’d need to let it run for longer to see if it plateaus at a lower level. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Jellyfin has locked up my server. Should I reboot or wait?

    I started the scan for my movie collection (roughly 140 movies) on my Raspberry Pi 3B. It has become unresponsive and I can't ssh in now. It seems to be due to all the ffmpeg instances. I have two questions:

    Should I wait for an hour or should I just reboot the server? Also, is there a way to disable the setting for chapter images from the web UI? I can't find it in the setting.

    Bus Éireann have completely revamped their website.

    My bookmarks for various bus routes and timetables are now useless 🙈 It’s a big change that breaks old links.

    Has anyone gotten used to it yet? It seems better in some ways but I can’t really say until I’ve had time to get used to it. The live trackers were handy to check if they were running late before I’d leave the house.

    Best way to add a blog to an existing, static website?

    I exported a Wordpress site as a static site and have been hosting that on Gitlab. I'd like to start updating the blog again and I'm wondering how to go about it.

    For the blog, I've been adding/coding the entries manually, which I still prefer to using Wordpress. Now I have someone who needs to take over the blog and I need something more simple for them.

    I've looked into DropInBlog ( https://dropinblog.com ) but it's way beyond our budget, so I've been thinking to either:

    • Give them git access and let them add a text file and image to a special directory when they want to post. Then I can have a script run a few times per hour which converts that into a blog post. I'd also need to update the blog index with my own code.

    • Let them use something RSS based with a nice interface and scrape that to generate the blog. Mastodon is one option, as is Wordpress. Ideally the blog they maintain would not be accessible to others on the web though. I don't want to split our SEO presence.

    Does anyone have a better suggestion? The website doesn't use a framework like Jekyll or any of those. It's just HTML, CSS and JS.

    What's the easiest way to host a music colletion (FLAC)?

    I've tried a few options over the years, including SMB and NFS, XBMC as well as HTML with javascript I found online.

    I don't have a large collection of music (fewer than 100 albums), so hand coding things was actually one of the quicker options to setup. That's despite then hassle of hand coding the URL to each FLAC file as well as the album art. But sometimes the javascript doesn't handle large collections of FLAC and each implementation I tried had different quirks so I've sunk a lot of time into that in other ways without a satisfactory result.

    I've heard of Emby, Jellyfin, Plex, Roon and Servio. I just need something that's simple to set up and access. I don't need fancy features beyond the ability to play the music with a pleasant UI that can be accessed from the web (HTTP, not HTTPS). I'd be running this from a Raspberry Pi 3B which already has the lighttpd server running.

    I'm also considering just getting a portable, 128GB FLAC player with a minijack connection and moving on with my life without getting involved in networking at all.

    Any recommendations for an uncomplicated way to approach to doing this?

    Edit: Thanks so much for the helpful and enthusiastic comments! I tried Navidrome and had it up and running in ten minutes thanks to this tutorial video: https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=7V5UUJlSknY

    I had to install docker-compose on the RPi. Then I got an error which turned out to be because I also needed a separate docker daemon which I installed following these instructions: https://www.simplilearn.com/tutorials/docker-tutorial/raspberry-pi-docker

    In just 10+ minutes I had my music collection accessible from all my devices - thanks again!

    www subdomain returns 401 despite using documented DNS settings

    My Gitlab Pages site works well under domain.com but not under www.domain.com. The www subdomain leads to a 401 message: "You don't have permission to access the resource."

    My DNS has a CNAME entry for www pointing to domain.com. When I asked the DNS provider what the problem might be they said "Please contact your hosting provider and provide us with the record needed to be set for www in the DNS zone. The changes should have worked already."

    The reason I need this is that some old-school people visiting our website still type www. into the URL bar.

    Is it possible to get notifications for certain reminders but not others?

    Some of my reminders are recurring and while I want them to appear in the app and widgets, I could do without another notification to wrangle with. I still want certain other reminders to trigger a notification.

    "The battery game"

    I heard a kid today talking with friends about how they play the "battery game" every day to help them stay off their phone. The goal is simply to have as high a battery percentage on your phone as possible when you get home. Interesting, isn't it?!

    Email from Google: "Time is running out: Set up conversion measurement with the Google tag". Is this change still coming since they bailed on 3rd-party cookies?

    The email said: "Technology updates, such as Google Chrome's plans to deprecate third-party cookies in 2024, are changing the ways you reach audiences and measure results. Build a strong foundation for measuring your ads with the Google tag. Delaying could impact the performance of your ads and features, such as remarketing and conversion measurement."

    Now I see that they've changed their minds[1] and so I wonder if I need to do anything with my website.

    Are there any good critical thinking courses online?

    I’m interested in helping friends tell the difference between fact and fiction, truth and hearsay and general stuff like that that gives peace of mind that they can defend themselves from gaslighting, makes life easier to live, and harder to be taken advantage of by propaganda. Just a few examples.

    Bonus points if it’s free. I see one on coursera that runs for four hours per week for several months which works out at roughly over €100 https://www.coursera.org/specializations/logic-critical-thinking-duke
