That would seem to be the bare minimum for an NVR.

Good to see Mullenweg gone, what a shitbird. And complaining he didn’t have time to have the resolution reviewed before the vote. Matt, that’s the exact sort of bullshit behaviour you would have committed if the shoe were on the other foot. So quit crying and go code or something.

Well, you see, it’s somehow using AI and it’s run by a dick.
What’s not to love about it?

Huh. Must have gotten someone to take over, last I’d heard the maintainer was archiving it. At least according to Chris on Linux Unplugged a couple months ago.

Its Lemmy, don’t expect too much.

Probably because those android set-top boxes are usually malware top to bottom.

LibreElec, Umbrella addon and a premiumize subscription.

How was it “designed for the winner”? Proposals to a resolution vote are submitted and seconded, with no restrictions on who, how many or what proposals are added, you just have to be a voting member of the ML. You can look at the list of proposal sponsors and the seconds to see how that’s done.
- Comment on what causes this? 1 week ago:
I’d say that first layer is being sliced for an overextrusion and is accounting for the wider line it makes. It doesn’t want to run over the outside wall, so it stops short and because it’s less lines per mm, you end up with those gaps. Note how many more lines per inch (mm) you’re getting on the second layer, though to me those lines are more of a problem than the bottom layer since they barely seem to be touching each other, reducing strength a lot. They started out on the right side better pressed, and that might be a bed leveling issue.
- Comment on Solar Has Crossed a Critical Economic Tipping Point | Solar now requires no more upfront capital than coal or gas to produce the same annual electricity 1 week ago:
It’s mainly there as a form of farm subsidy that bypasses restrictions thrown up by long-existing trade agreements. Canada provides no farm subsidies besides underwriting crop and moisture insurance premiums to an extent, but the US has a long history of flouting these restrictions.
As usual. Coincidentally it provides money for equipment manufacturers and inputs providers like Deere and Cargill. But I’m sure that’s just a happy coincidence of providing “food security”.

To be fair, NG was sunshine at one point.

Biofuels: the least efficient form of solar power one could possibly invent.
- Comment on My domain is accessible from external networks but not from my internal network. Might anyone know why? 1 week ago:
You need to turn on hairpin NAT somewhere on advanced settings iirc.
- Comment on Last week I had zero 3d printers, now I've got 3 2 weeks ago:
I had someone tell me it was running Klipper. I’m just worried about them shipping it with a custom firmware that they lock down, like Bambu did.
But I’m stoked about the 4-toolhead design, if it had cut/drill heads as well, I’d be all over it for PCB milling as well since enclosed and I could rig up a vac.

Is that U1 entirely software agnositic? No chance of vendor lockin?
- Comment on What is your cloud backup solution? 2 weeks ago:
I do this as well, offsite USB drive copy of backups from my PBS server that gets rotated every week for 4 weeks.
I only have a couple TB of important or irreplaceable data. I’m not backing up music or shows, I can just download that if I need it.

I don’t imagine you end up with any head on your beer after this, especially coconut milk (which the thought of makes me gag, but you do you).
- Comment on What is your weirdest self-hosting problem you've had to solve? For me: Mouse inside the server. 3 weeks ago:
You wouldn’t believe how many rusty old vicegrips I own because of this sort of thing. Hell, I held a seeder meterbox on with vicegrips this spring, I’m one to talk.
- Comment on What is your weirdest self-hosting problem you've had to solve? For me: Mouse inside the server. 3 weeks ago:
Goddamn I hate mice. I just had to tear out the entire contents of a combine cab to get rid of their piss and shit, and fix the wiring they chewed off.
- Comment on A solar powered website that goes offline when there's no power 3 weeks ago:
95% isn’t great. I run my own servers on solar and I don’t think I’ve had more than a hourof unexpected downtime in the last 3 years, excluding the usual update reboots.
- Comment on Any tips on plastic adhesives? Trying to repair headphones 4 weeks ago:
You can glue it, it won’t work. When you’ve tried all of them, get a plastic staple gun and make it ugly, but fixed.
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (7 August 2026) 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think you’re overexaggerating the potential backlash at all; especially on Lemmy. When I read that blurb at the top I was thinking “Bold move, Cotton…”.
I’ve vibecoded a number of apps that I haven’t released for about the same reasons you describe. What I have put out have been little helpers with miniscule surface area. But the bigger ones I’ve built and am improving have been tailored to my needs (or for our group) and help immensely. At one time I could have coded them myself (maybe), but I never would have gotten around to it.
What pisses me off the most is when people come down on a FOSS maintainer that uses it to keep up with bugs and security fixes because nobody can be arsed to spend any time helping them, instead they’d rather sit on the internet and criticize other people’s methods of coping with overload.
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (31 July 2026) 1 month ago:
I mean, I’ve run across badly documented FOSS apps as well, but if I submit a correction, I don’t wrap up my ego in whether they take it or not.
If it’s been open for more than a week or two, I just delete it so it isn’t hanging around my feed. No worries, if that’s how you want to run your project it’s no skin off my nose.
But what kinda dweeb goes off on it in a Reddit post?

Interesting project on the novel writing platform. I’m surprised they did’t use git for the backend sync, it would seem purpose built for something like that.

If you set it’s download folder in the .env to the same as the ingestion folder for Calibre, it’ll just show up. Set -no-browser-downloads and it’ll just drop that into the folder and won’t prompt you to save it manually.

I’m not sure what the problem with the android version of Element X might be, it works perfectly for me and my wife.
And yah, I had high hopes for NC Talk, but it’s not worth the trouble even if you provision a STUN/TURN server.

Openbooks IRC download to calibre guacamole instance to fbreader opds connection. Once I pick a book it’s automated to the point that I find it on my reader index page.
