Given previous more or less similar projects this is likely to get sued out of existence by Google.


Why would you not want containers managed by systemd?
You get the benefits of containerisation and you don’t have to learn the arcane syntax of some container engine or another.


My point. We don’t have code so we have to trust them blindly.


Telegram was never safe. All anyone ever had was their word that some chats are end-to-end encrypted.


In an attempt to weasel out of the liability for the woman’s death Disney’s lawyers pulled out the forced arbitration clause of the widower’s Disney+ subscription.
Meaning they’re effectively arguing that because he gives them money to use their service they should be allowed to get away with murder or at least criminal negligence.
I don’t think they’ve realised yet, what a foot-gun this argument is. On top of the obvious moral issues with this line of argument. I mean, this has “give us your firstborn” vibes.


It’s honestly disgusting.
USA says “jump” and every country goes “Yes, daddy. How high, daddy?”


That’s only useful in commit messages, issue discussions and stuff like that. Why would the devs even make that execute in source files, where it’s all but guaranteed to be a false match??


The ActivationPolicy I added in an attempt to replicate what wg-quick produces, as I recall.




Anyone using WireGuard through plain systemd-networkd?
I'm trying to get networkd to connect to a wireguard endpoint, specifically ProtonVPN, in case it matters. I just can't get it to connect. Has anyone had success with that? Specifically without using wg-quick.

It’s not about being helpful in the sense of just answering the question at hand. If OP just wanted the question answered they can just Google it. Instead I wanted to offer an alternative, low risk solution.
While Ubisoft, EA and consorts can easily stomach some piracy and still crank out “AAA” titles in a 6-months interval, it hurts small studios relatively more. Buying and returning, on the other hand, offers a way to give feedback to the studio via the return reason and costs just as little as piracy.


ProtonDB says it’s decent, the game is Steamdeck verified plus you can return it with under two hours playtime, so I’d just buy it.
Any upgrade path with a pirated version should be completely irrelevant.


Yup. You can pay Netflix for 4K, but you can only get 4K with Edge on Windows and even then only if you have the right hardware. Like, what’s the point? On Linux you can only get 1080p by spoofing your just agent. Otherwise they only give you 720p.


Yea, that’s just plain stupid of them. I don’t know how they expected that to go over.

Oh yes, I bought that content, but sure, take it away. I totally understand that the licensing changed.

– No one, ever


Buy it. Larian is a small studio that put a lot of effort and love into that game. If you like what they do, support them. You can get it DRM free on GOG, so you get to actually own it.


To be fair, streaming was never buying. It was always paying entry to a library. If stuff gets removed from the library that’s the way it is.
That isn’t to say I don’t agree. Piracy is a service problem, as Gabe Newell so eloquently put it. Streaming started losing the moment it started splintering into cable networks.


But you’re running Debian, so it’ll be 2 years at least before you get it.



The markdown you’re looking for is _underscores_ or *asterisks* for emphasis.


So much nomenclature in tech is watered down and obfuscated because we let marketing monkeys make decisions.



If I learned anything from Luffy it’s that you can call any ship a boat 😁




It’s technically running. I doubt anyone claimed it would be playable.


Honestly not surprised. You’re running that on a, what, 15 year old potato? Yes, Skyrim isn’t the most modern game, but that GPU was intended for desktop use, back then. I’m actually impressed that it runs at all. I’d half expect the game to just crash because it requests something that dinky GPU simply cannot provide.


I’m not sure there even exists a way to fully automated it, as that would require automatically identifying the relevant tracks/files and looking up the metadata. I’m not sure there is such a database.


So? You’d refuse to use a tool that does most of the work because you don’t wanna use the tool that does the rest?






At this point JavaScript is Java. Write once, deploy everywhere.


There’s also Funkwhale, but that’s more of a self hosted, federated SoundCloud alternative I think.

It’s also primarily for self-publishing. When sharing music that’s not your own I suspect you quickly run into the same issues as with torrents. With probably similar solutions.

I’ll check out Spotube and SimpMusic, although the local music part is missing from your description.


Currently using lidarr for library management and… err… acquisition.

Not sure what plex can do for playback/streaming. Looked at it for video streaming, but ended up not using it.


Ooh, that looks interesting. Thanks.


Looking for a Spotify replacement
By that I mean randomly generated playlists. Based on either one or multiple tags, songs or artists. Finite or infinite. Ideally it would allow combining local sources with remote ones for discovering new music. Thinking along the lines of audioscrobbler, Bandcamp and SoundCloud. Maybe one could even hook into Spotify's API, of they allow that. Does something like this exist? I'm currently running Navidrome and while it's pretty and functional, it's very much a classic Mediaplayer, that just happens to be a website.

Of course. Management has to be able to understand them 😉
