The opportunities created by these uprisings were repeatedly co-opted by narrow elite groups – oligarchs, the professional middle class, and foreign powers – leaving large portions of Ukrainian society excluded and their interests underrepresented.


Because they were orchestrated and funded by the US after the wrong party won the election. The toady western media amplified American claims that the election was rigged but Ukrainians remember how they got there

My ~$2700 ThinkPad is worth $650 re Lenovo


Let's start with my mistakes:

  • I haven't followed LKMS.
  • I assumed: Every ThinkPad has - overall - perfect Linux support, so this will as well.
  • I did look up support when purchasing but I was still not verifying on the LKMS.
  • Edit: I trusted Qualcomm's marketing

So, I wanted a ARM-Linux laptop so bad.
I heared about the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s in 2023 and I looked at marketing promises and (rare!) takes on it.
Then there was the opportunity to buy this laptop fir a good price with the entire stats I would require for my next 10+ years. So I bought it.

In order to bake Linux on it I had to read up upon many things - I run it daily but have to accept some downsizes.

Anyhow, I thought this title would be interessting regarding Lenovo's and Qualcomm's "success" on ARM so that others may be aware that I am looking daily for the LKMS and my model SC8280XP.

There is ONE SINGLE CONTRIBUTOR (there were two; The other joined Lenovo) allowed to have "elected and requested" documents in order to aid support. Despite their intentions (QUALCOMM) to support Linux.
And I furthermore assume it hasn't have changed with the new Snapdragon X processors.

So, thanks to John Hovold and Linaro for doing an awesome job. I wished I could support you.

Proposition de migration sur jlai.lu


Hello,

Désolé pour ce message un peu malvenu. Mais l'idée c'est plutot de connaitre vos opinions sur ce sujet. J'en avais parlé un peu à joelthelion.

Je vous propose de migrer sur jlai.lu si vous le souhaitez. L'idée serait de regrouper les commu francophones sur une instance francophone et si vous avez un compte sur jlai.lu de pouvoir profiter d'un fil local francophone.

C'est le seul avantage de cette migration. Après, c'est juste une proposition pour connaitre vos avis.

@joelthelion@lemmy.world décidera.

Bonne soirée 😀

New Poll Recommends Eating the Billionaires




tl;dr I created an extension for the GNOME desktop on Linux, so that folks can stream and listen to music from The Indie Beat – an online radio station powered by independent musicians sharing music in the Fediverse, via Bandwagon.

Background


Independent musicians, creatives, artists, makers – these are all folk who often struggle to connect with audiences, and where retail and tech platforms tend towards squeezing their ability to make money from their work (see the excellent Chokepoint Capitalism by Cory Doctorow – essential reading for today’s world and understanding how it systematically squeezes creatives). Over the Christmas period, I finally deleted my Spotify account, after reading about yet more awful ways that company is destroying authentic creativity for their own profit.

Cancelled Spotify. One of those things I'd allowed to roll far too long for no good reason (not paying attention), and the "ghost artists" stuff has made me feel particularly unfriendly towards the platform. harpers.org/archive/2025/01/th…

— Andy Piper (@andypiper@macaw.social) 2024-12-23T12:31:01.894Z


I’ve been a huge fan of independent artists for a very long time. Back in the MySpace / MP3 / Napster days I came across folks who I now count as friends, amazing musicians such as Cindy Alexander, and Alex Cornish.

Up until recently there was a wonderful streaming station, RadioFreeFedi, that offered music from artists who had a presence in the Fediverse. Sadly, that has now gone away.

Over the past couple of years I’ve been attending Fediforum, an online conference where people building in the Fediverse gather to share projects and ideas. During the events in 2024, I came across two fantastic people with an interest in making things better for artists and musicians: Ben Pate, builder of the Emissary platform, which has a music-centric edition called Bandwagon; and Kirsten Lambertsen, a multi-talented web creative who runs Patron Hunt, and who spun up an alternative streaming station, The Indie Beat. The Indie Beat builds on Bandwagon, so artists who share their music in the Fediverse via Bandwagon, can also choose to add them to rotation on The Indie Beat.

Some inspirations


I was nerd-sniped, I mean, inspired, to make something with The Indie Beat, in part through a nice blog post shared by Neil Brown (which was apparently prompted by me, so that’s nice and circular!) about how to add the streams from The Indie Beat into Linux music apps such as mpd.

I don’t use mpd, and to be honest I most often live on Apple platforms (but I do keep a Plex server, which I intend to move to Jellyfin this year as I work on improving my self-hosting and homelab situations). I was pretty sure that I’d seen a taskbar music player for GNOME, though. I usually run GNOME on my Linux systems – the exception being my MNT Pocket Reform, which is Sway with a minimal set of other desktop apps.

The player I was thinking of is the SomaFM internet radio extension, which is a menubar app that lists the SomaFM station streams, and allows the user to choose between them.

The process


The first iteration was a straightforward copy/edit hack of the SomaFM extension, replacing the list of channel streams with the equivalent ones from The Indie Beat. Easy!

I excitedly sent a screenshot to Kirsten to show off!

There were quite a few things that I felt I could do better, though. First of all, the artwork was missing. Also, I knew that the whole point of The Indie Beat was to be a showcase for the artists on Bandwagon, and that there was supposed to be metadata in the stream header that contained their link information.

After a lot of poking at the MP3 stream, I realised that The Indie Beat is built on a streaming server called Azura Cast, which has an API – and The Indie Beat API had that data, and a whole lot more that I could use. In order to use it all though, I had to fully re-think how the extension would work.

So, I started over, from scratch.

  • I hand-traced the “catellite” artwork and made a minified icon for the GNOME top bar – the full design was not great at a tiny size.
  • I kept a similar look-and-feel to the SomaFM extension – an icon, a player, a list of channels – but, I removed the settings and favourites options from my scope, to keep things simple. I also have the menu expand to fit the channel names, which I don’t love as it means it changes size, but it works.
    • a little thing that I’m fond of is that the extension uses the configured accent colour – recently added in GNOME 47 – for some of the text.


  • I did a lot of reading and poking around at GNOME Shell and gjs, the JavaScript API that enables extensions to be built. I also learned a lot about GStreamer, the engine that GNOME apps use for access to audio and video media. This was all a long, long way from my past work coding for GNOME, ~20 years ago, back in early Anjuta days! I’m not naturally a JavaScript person at all, so I made a lot of mistakes here.
    • huge shout-out to the author of the JustPerfection extension, who carefully and helpfully reviewed my submissions to the GNOME Extensions site. This thing would be a lot more crashy and messy without that oversight!


  • the extension contains a small cached implementation of the Azura Cast API, which enables the extension to query the available channels, rather than needing to have a static internal list of streams updated if a channel came along or went away (a concept of “mixtapes” is on the roadmap for The Indie Beat in the future).
    • I needed to add a way to access an artist’s page, which comes from a property that’s stored in the now playing data, so building an API layer that sits parallel to the radio stream player seemed to work nicely.


The Indie Beat is evolving – within a few days of starting work on this side project, Kirsten switched the branding from pink to green, so I updated the artwork. She also added a Bonk Wave channel – and the extension seamlessly picked it up! That was a nice win.

OK… so what does it do?


I’ve posted a short video which covers the basic features: choose between channels, play/stop, open the Bandwagon page of the currently playing artist in a web browser, or directly jump to Bandwagon’s Explore page or The Indie Beat main page. I’ve aimed for simple and clean, as befits the GNOME philosophy.

makertube.net/videos/embed/13a…

Where to get it

The extension is available to install here. You can watch the demo video on my MakerTube. You can follow development on GitHub.

If you like it, a comment / review on the GNOME Extensions page would be very welcome. If you have issues or ideas, do leave those on the GitHub project. There is a donation button in the GNOME Extensions page, which is of course entirely optional.

Don’t forget to click over to Bandwagon and check out the artists you hear that you like.

What’s the future?

The world and the internet are kind of bleak right now, but actually – we’ve got the power to make it better.

Watch Molly White’s talk from XOXO and get inspired.

Also, this:

andypiper.co.uk/2024/08/29/the…

There’s a lot of opportunity for creatives in the Fediverse!

Castopod is a great way to self-host a podcast with native ActivityPub federation. Bandwagon exists, where you can create a Fediverse profile for yourself and your music. You can share it through The Indie Beat. I’ve personally got my eye on Libre.FM (like Last.FM, but free, and with a renewed / reinvigorated interest in building new features like ActivityPub and IndieWeb support – here’s my profile). Beyond those, there is also Faircamp, a static site generator that helps musicians self-host their content and avoid enshittification through other channels and platforms. I’m excited! We can work together to make our spaces better for musicians and other artists!

More features for the extension?

This has been a fun side project!

I’ve got a few barely-formed ideas for things I can do with this in the future, as both Bandwagon and The Indie Beat evolve. Stay tuned. 📡

Oh, and through making this extension, I found and purchased an album I’m obsessed with, which has inspired me to do some other new things… so watch this space.


Where do I get those stickers?

Come find me at FOSDEM in Brussels next weekend, I’ll have Bandwagon+The Indie Beat stickers to share 👍🏻

Jellyfin Buffering Slow Torrents


I have been having a few issues recently, and I can't quite figure out what is causing this. My setup:

  • gigabit WAN up and down. Run speed tests regularly and get 800+ mbps up and down.
  • opnsense router VM (proxmox) running on a lenovo m920x. Installed an intel 2x10gbe card.
  • Sodola 10gbe switch
  • TrueNAS server (bare metal) w/ 10gbe serving the media files over NFS, stored on a ZFS mirror.
  • Jellyfin LXC
  • debian LXC running the arr stack w/ qbittorrent
  • NVidia Shield w/ ethernet

First issue is extremely slow downloads on qbittorrent. Even if I download an ubuntu iso with hundreds of seeders will sit around 1 mibps. Media downloads with ~10 seeders, I'll sit around 200kibps. Running this through gluetun and protonvpn wireguard with port forwarding enabled and functioning.

Second issue I'm having is if I am downloading anything on qbittorrent, and attempt to play a 4k remux on Jellyfin, it is constantly buffering. If I stop all downloads, immediately the movie plays without issue. 1080 files play without issue all the time.

I tried spinning up a new LXC with qbittorrent, and can download ubuntu isos at 30+ mibps locally and not over NFS.

Any idea what could be causing this? Is this a read/write issue on my TrueNAS server? Networking issuing causing the NFS to be slow? I've run iperf to the TrueNAS and getting 9+gbps.

Eh, using a phone w/o a case is reasonable. I'd liken it more to watching live TV. Why do that in the era of streaming services when you can (well, could) avoid ads and watch exactly what you want instead of whatever slop the network decides you should watch?

Basically everything from protocol.ai/work, bar the blockchain stuff which i can only assume they're doing to milk investors to fund the actually good projects.

libp2p abstracts away networking so you can simply point to a peer ID and the computer figures out how to connect to it (though you can of course specify how to connect if you wish), and it preserves connections across different networks among other stuff.

IPFS is basically just torrent but better in every way, foremost in that you can just slap some data onto an IPFS node and if anyone else happens to be serving the same data then you'll both automatically be valid providers, despite never having talked to each other in any way. No more needing to search out a magnet link, just seed whatever data you want and anyone requesting the data from the network will automatically find you.

How do you find the compromise between privacy and daily phone usage?


I have degoogled my phone few years ago it really hit me how much the phones depend on Google services. Few examples from of my daily usage when I compromised:

  1. Communication

I'm in students group, people there have own group chat on facebook messenger. They share info regarding tests, deadlines etc. Basically standard uni messaging. Unless I had fake Facebook account to be there I would have to collect all info by myself. The alternative is a discord server, which in privacy terms is questionable choice too.

At least I have few friends who use Signal or Element, but it's minority.

What do you usually use and offer when people ask you for contact?

  1. Banking app

Banking app I used has blocked me from app after few years of using it when they realized I have it from "unofficial" source - Aurora store. That motivated to switch the bank and app, which doesn't really on Google Play services. The easiest way to do that was browsing Huawei app store and finding the most suitable app. Do you use baking apps?

  1. Taxi/Transport

Of course theres no way to use Bolt/Uber for transport on degoogled device. What's your way of transport after having few beers in pub? Do you use taxi via calling it directly or use that weird Telegram taxi addon?

  1. Map directions

Is there a way to convert google map pins to open source solutions and vice versa? What's your recommended software for directions? What do you use for driving?

  1. Fitness

Do you track fitness activities?

  1. Phone

Do you have good phone recommendations? I know that GrapheneOS+Pixel is one, but what about others?

  1. email, everybody has that, if they can't use it, well up to them to offer an alternative but anyway with DeltaChat I can get notified instantly.
  2. Web. Sure the app does provide some convenience but most banks do have a working website that do not need an app as usually SMS 2FA works.
  3. Real taxis do have phone numbers... but they also have apps and most do not required Google Services AFAIK
  4. OpenStreetMap and CityMapper and (I know I'm going to sound nuts) but actually road signs or asking people
  5. No but same, plenty of apps on F-Droid that don't require Google Services, otherwise... a .txt file? .ods spreadsheet with visual? Same on NextCloud so you can share with others even though nobody cares? (sorry)
  6. PinePhone, PinePhone Pro, Purism Librem, and (ahem...) Apple iPhone if you want a compromise between privacy and still convenience?

Taildrop is very convenient for sharing files between servers/devices


Someone mentioned it in a comment and I genuinely didn't know what I was setting up, but its basically airdrop but to all your devices/servers so if you have an iphone like me you can goto any photo/file click share, taildrop, then pick the device, its a prettty fast transfer. It shows up in the downloads folder on my pc by default.

I no longer have to upload to icloud files to grab my files, it is very convenient and seems to be free forever for personal use up to 100 devices? I had no idea what I was even setting up til I saw the guide afterwards, I thought it was for monitoring server health, but it's made sharing files between devices/servers very convenient. (this was likely obvious, just wanted to share with others who didn't know)

With the ceasefire in Gaza comes a gruesome challenge: Counting and collecting the dead


These bodies, dug up as a ceasefire took hold this week, are Gaza’s “missing,” the uncounted dead haunting families scattered by the war. For the Gaza Health Ministry, they were reduced to a bullet-point caveat beneath every daily death toll: “A number of victims are still under the rubble and on the streets, and cannot be accessed.”

On Sunday, as a deal between Israel and Hamas paused the deadliest war in a century of Israeli-Palestinian conflict, families across the enclave scrambled to reunite with their loved ones — the living, the dead and the missing.

Palestinians crowded the ruins that were once their homes, watching anxiously as civil defense teams hacked at the rubble in search of missing bodies. Each day of the ceasefire, the ministry has logged 50 to 120 recovered corpses.

in reply to HellsBelle

the ~47,000 dead number is so outdated at this point, I think the actual number will be at least twice that all told (assuming Israel will let anyone continue to count).

Tragic, disgustingly tragic and it makes me deeply ashamed of the US (where I live).

Is there a way to override automatic URL previews somehow?


When creating a post with a URL, Lemmy generates a thumbnail with the og:image and a text summary with the og:description. And sure enough, sleazebags use the description field to plug products.

Case in point: this Youtube video. The description should be something like Man creates a pair of glasses in titanium damascus - part 2 but instead it says This Valentine’s Day good things come in big packages at MeUndies. Score huge sitewide savings at https://[redacted] and use promo code forge.DISCORD...

It's really aggravating. I don't want to pollute Lemmy with crappy advertising.

Is there some way to override or suppress the text description?

Thoughts on pmedia?


Was looking at music torrents and noticed alot of them was uploaded by pmedia, sometimes i get music from them but was wondering y'alls thoughts on them, their stuff does sound high quality but i couldn't really tell

hope this isn't a dumb question, was just asking out of curiosity, thanks.

(Also wow.. it has been forever since i used lemmy, i think i'll use it again since i do miss using it)

They've been one of the only sources of high quality flacs of some albums I've wanted, so big props from me.
in reply to jabathekek

It's been my source of FLACs for a while too, i've been building up a flac collection from them too and it's been going smoothly so far! Big thanks to them.

How do services like Mastohost work on a fundamental level?


This is all basically hypothetical, but it's something I want a better idea about to improve my concept of networking, service providing, and etc. Additionally, I think services like Mastohost are healthy for the growth of the fediverse as it eases concerns for business use, enterprise use or even broader "community" use. I think it will be important for the future of a federated internet that many of these types of services exist.

Let's get the obvious out of the way: You'd probably need a lot of hardware to achieve this type of service. We're talking about either having a micro datacenter or renting a datacenter from someone else. You're probably not going to get away with doing this on a bog-standard VPS regardless of how much storage you buy (though, if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.)

I understand how virtualization via proxmox works (kind of, on a surface level) and I imagine that it would work similarly to that but with a preconfigured docker image, but how exactly does someone integrate virtual machine creation with client requests?

Normally I think about services running in a docker which would communicate with other docker containers or the host server -- so, for example, you can configure your Jellyfin to be visible to other containers that might be interested in sharing data between the two. But when it comes to requests for hosting new docker images that need persistent space, how would you manage such a task? Additionally, if we're talking about a multi-computer environment, how do you funnel a request for a new instance to one-of-many machines?

This seems like a basic, fundamental server hosting question and may not be appropriate for "self hosting" as it's probably beyond the scale of what most of us are willing to do -- but humor a man who simply wants to understand a bit more about modern enterprise compute problems.

Feel free to share any literature or online documentation that talks about solving these types of tasks.

European here. Never heard of them. Beside given how they embezzled public money by buying overpriced Pfizer vaccine and covered all dissent using the antivax accusation, they can fuck themselves.

It's fixed now.

If you go to the mirrors page you’ll see cdimage.debian.org under Sweden and it’s an http link. My guess is that the link is just misconfigured on the home page. It’s helpful to avoid https for things like this because it allows you to download updates on machines with outdated security software, eg TLS 1.0/1.1.
in reply to dunes

It seems like it's fixed now, but if possible use one of the mirrors, so everyone's not hitting that one server all that hard, it's usually faster too.

Or even better, use the torrent.





What shall we name the Lemmy/PieFed equivalent to a "Multireddit"?


We’re working on a multireddit feature which will let people join or leave large groups of related Communities with a single click, and see all the posts from those communities in a single list. These groups will be crowd-sourced, so anyone can create or share collections of Communities around their interests. Basically the same as piefed.social/topics except crowd-sourced (and federated?).

We’re stuck on what to call this feature, though, and your creativity could really help us out! Here are some ideas we’ve been tossing around:

  • Bundles
  • Community Packs
  • PieSlices
  • Stacks
  • QuickJoin Packs
  • Collections (kbin called it this)
  • Topics (we call them this now but they're all maintained by the instance admin)

Which of these do you like best? Do you have any suggestions of your own? We're aiming for something that’s easy to understand, catchy, and fits the PieFed ethos. I'll copy those suggestions into individual comments on this post so people can upvote what resonates with them.

The problem I have with ideas like "Collections" or "Topics" is those concepts have no relation to "Communities" which increases the learning new users need to do while getting comfortable. Something more intuitive like "Towns" is more obviously a larger or group of "Communities", for example.

Please throw your ideas into the comments below and vote on what you see!



A few Lemmy.world users have been complaining that the website is slow for them, what is your experience?


Most recent examples, seems like Americans users are mostly impacted.

the site (or at least lemmy.world) is sooo slooow. Basic functions like loading images take me back to the dial-up era of “click the image then do something else while it loads,” which is downright ridiculous in the 2020s. Again I’ve stuck with it because I want to support the fediverse, but 99% of users won’t.


lemmy.world/comment/14645438

Additional example

It also doesn’t help that it’s slow as fuck on desktop compared to the others I tried.

Is lemm.ee much faster than lemmy.world for you?

Yes, MUCH. Sh.itjust.works is much faster as well. I don’t know if it’s because LW is still on 0.19.3 or what, but it’s a very significant difference.


lemm.ee/post/53056454/17657107

3rd comment below

So slow unfortunately


lemmy.world/comment/14661546

Well, it took me 2 page load attempts and 60 solid seconds to get as far as being able to leave this comment, so… Yeah, sometimes it is slow as dirt.


lemmy.world/comment/14676091

Images have been fine for me, I’ve given up on videos


lemmy.world/comment/14676052

Note: if this post seems familiar, it's because it was originally posted on !asklemmy@lemmy.world . It has since then been removed as a "support question". Not sure why asking people if they've been impacted about the instance that hosts 30% of the whole Lemmy userbase is a support question, but I'll revisit that tomorrow.


I'm a fediverse supporter (obviously, that's why I'm here), however what you're looking for requires a critical mass of users that the fediverse (at least the Lemmy side of it) will never achieve as long as two very critical problems persist:

1) sign up is confusing. People are used to clicking "create an account," inputting a user name, password, and maybe an email, and then BAM they're a user. I realize the whole instance thing is the entire point, but no one wants nor expects to have to do significant research and make a decision about how they want to interact with a social media site before they've even started using it.

2) the site (or at least lemmy.world) is sooo slooow. Basic functions like loading images take me back to the dial-up era of "click the image then do something else while it loads," which is downright ridiculous in the 2020s. Again I've stuck with it because I want to support the fediverse, but 99% of users won't.

And no, these aren't "features not bugs" unless you want to keep the site small and homogenous.

I did notice some slowdown fetching new posts last week in the all page from my instance, but locally it was fine.

Its seems to have gotten better since 2 or 3 days ago.

in reply to Blaze (he/him)

I wonder if it has something to do with the default Lemmy front end. I don’t have any slowness using Voyager on mobile or m.lemmy.world on desktop
