Benvenuto nel Poliverso

Plex has paywalled my server!

I tried testing a movie from my home server in plex through firefox and repeatedly got this message, even after reloading.

I knew that they had paywalled the apps on mobile and streaming from outside the network but now they have also blocked watching your own movies through your own hardware.

I do get the point that making software should be able to sustain people but I dont see the move of plex as a fair thing to do. Yes, they have made great software but taking your home server hostage feels like the wrong move.

Even a pop up that says "we need you to donate please" would have been fine. make it pop up before every movie, play donation ads before any movie but straight up disabling the app is kinda cruel.

Anyway, i have switched to jellyfin and it is insanely good. please give it a try. you can run it alongside plex with not issues (at least i had none) and compare the two.

In any case, good luck. Let me know if you need help.

Screenshot of a pop up in plex media center saying "die show kann noch nicht weitergehen" which means the show cant go on yet. below are pricing options to buy a subscription. this is displayed on a home server in the same network. plex has worked for years.

Thats not what I meant. I of course have wireguard set up for administration and my own streaming needs. But friends of mine who were able to use plex by just making an account but now they cant because of course there is no relay server etc. I'll have to think of a way to make it available to them (easily!) without putting my network at risk.

The Terminal Question

I know this probably comes up a lot and is liable to spark some debate, but I'm curious what the good options are for terminals. I've skimmed some reddit/lemmy posts about it and looked at a few options and I dunno how to decide between them because they all seem like they're too narrowly focused on some particular use case. I'm just using it for general terminal stuff, nothing terribly fancy. I'm aware that there's not one terminal to rule them all or anything, so I'm curious: what do you folks use, and more importantly, why do you use that over the (many) other options available?

Personally I've just been using konsole since it's what came with kde and it seems nice and all, but I feel like I'm missing out on features I don't even know about. One feature that might be nice is some kind of local LLM integration so I can get help on how to tinker with settings and such where i'm doing the tinkering instead of constantly tabbing out to duck.ai or w/e.

I use xfce4-terminal, lxterminal is also good for the same reasons. The nice thing about them is that their configs are very stable (this can be a bit of an issue with KDE, e.g. I recently had to redo my editor themes for Kate because the old ones weren't compatible anymore), and they save system resources by letting all terminals run in one process. Running terminal windows in separate processes might protect you from crashes, but even though I use terminals heavily I just never have terminal crashes. And they're simpler to configure than e.g. urxvt.

Im using what DE provides by default. If You do not know what You need from terminal that means You probably do not need anything more. Make a switch when You want something particular.
On the other note I think You might be more interested in different shell rather than terminal. So fir example zsh or fish (You are most likely currently using bash)

I use Xfce and Cinnamon, but I always install Gnome Terminal regardless (you don't need all of Gnome desktop to use it). The main reason I like Gnome Terminal is that it is very simple, and it lets you save your own terminal themes and switch between them from a context menu. Xfce terminal is nice and simple, but doesn't have this really handy theme switching feature.

That said, the terminal emulator I used most often is the Emacs built-in terminal emulator (term-mode), because it integrates flawlessly with other Emacs tools. But its rendering and theming isn't as nice as Gnome terminal, so I only recommend it if you are an Emacs user.

kitty. The ssh kitten is enough reason to use it. I work ob a lot of different systems that require OTP. Using the ssh kitten I can type the OTP once and can spawn new terminals that ssh and cd to the remote direvtory without logging in again. Obviosly the tabs and window panes are are a must too. There's tons of other useful features that I like, like using hints to select nunbers, filenames, urls, etc in the terminal output.

Are you serious? It's just a window where text is printed. Use what your DE provides. Now I'm mostly on LXQt, so I use QTerminal. With tiling WMs I prefer urxvt because I don't need builtin window splitting ans tabs. I can't imagine what other features may I need.

Multiplexing, remote multiplexing, shell integration, SSH integration, image rendering, ligatures, image rendering (mainly for TUI file managers like Yazi), support for font styling, scrollback searching, persistent sessions.

Many of these might not matter to you, but I use a lot of these features very frequently, especially remote multiplexing which only Kitty and Wezterm do AFAIK.

I also paricularly like Westerns feature where you can press a keybind and itll show two character flags over all the links and paths currently being displayed, and you type the flag to copy it. Let's me avoid switching my hand over to my mouse.

Most of what you enumerated is not a terminal emulator job. There is tmux for multiplexing, search and persistent sessions, for instance. And if you want image rendering, what a hell you use TUI for this? GUI programs can also be controlled with keyboard.

in reply to bizdelnick • 3 mesi fa • •

Most of what you enumerated is not a terminal emulator job.

Says who? You aren't the arbiter of what software gets to handle each job.

Tmux does a worse job than Wezterm while being more complex, a pain in the ass to configure, and feeling less native than just using the built-in tabs and panes of my terminal. Ive also had it break the output and interfere with the keybinds of many apps. Why the hell should I install and configure an extra tool when Wezterm does what I need perfect?

And if you want image rendering, what a hell you use TUI for this?

Because I like using a TUI? I do the large majority of my work in my terminal, so why should I swap out of it to look at a picture when Wezterm does it just fine? More importantly, why do you give a fuck what tools somebody uses if they work for them?

I dont give a shit about "Unix philosophy", Wezterm works better for me at all of these tasks than any other options.

GUI programs can also be controlled with keyboard.

I have never seen a GUI file manager with the same level of control using a keyboard as the average TUI file manager.

The one that comes with your DE is generally just fine, unless you're a serious terminal user.

One feature that might be nice is some kind of local LLM integration so I can get help on how to tinker with settings and such

I think that's a quick way to nuke your install, LLMs are generally wrong about what commands to run and don't understand enough to know when something is dangerous. All it takes is changing one wrong file and everything breaks.

OP, to be frank, descriptions like "general terminal stuff" and "nothing terribly fancy" are too generic to be useful here. Though, I suppose this is simply indicative that you're (probably) perfectly served (as is) by Konsole.

Ptyxis

and more importantly, why do you use that over the (many) other options available?

Because it came with the distro and I had no need for something different.

Whatever comes with your distro or desktop environment ought to be enough for anybody.

Unless you have a minimal window manager that comes with only xterm. Then I'd install xfce4-terminal to get tabs and more reasonably sized text. If for some reason the distro or OS only has sh, I'll also go ahead and install bash, but nothing fancier than that.

My suggestion is you focus more on learning to use the terminal than figuring out which one to use. Switching terminals is like a micro version of distro hopping without the benefits.

I use ollama for llms, but being a terminal tool, you need to be comfortable using the terminal.

To answer your original question, I use alacritty. Minimal bells and whistles. Just a terminal.

Fair, although I am reasonably comfortable with the terminal (just don't know all the commands and such, always having to look that sort of thing up). I used to run linux installs many years ago back when stuff like slackware and redhat were the standard distros and X was iffy at best so I've done a lot of that sort of thing, just not in like 20+ years.

But I'm seeing lots of recommendations for alacritty, I'll check it out, though most people seem to think konsole is fine unless I have specific needs which I really don't. Thanks!

I'm using st with tmux. It's in written in c, simple configuration can be done by editing the header file(s). More complex customization (such as visual bell or transparency) can be done via patch files.

Not the most beginner friendly terminal but super light weight and fast.

I was tinkering with ollama+deepseek and trying to integrate it into my bash functions, but gave up, because i could not supress that stupid "thinking..." prompt. Found it easyer to just have a browser window open (switching windows can become muscle memory in tiling wms like i3/sway or dwm).

I recently tried out some terminals but in the end it didn't really make all that big of a difference, maybe because I use tmux so I don't need split functionality. For a long time I used Gnome Console because it came with my distro but then I tried Ghostty because some people said it was the best and I also thought I was missing out. However for me it was mostly the same as before and it was cool in a way but for some reason it didn't really click. Now I am using Wezterm because other people said it's the best and what i like is that it comes as a flatpak and it is configured using Lua. But I could just go back to Gnome Console if I had to.

Anything is fine unless you're using the terminal very heavily. Almost all of my workflow is within the terminal so I want everything to be as fast as possible. I want a minimal, low config, fast terminal that has the exact same behavior when using the same config on Linux and MacOS (I know, fuck me, I have to use it for work). And those are Alacritty and Ghostty. I hate Alacritty's horrible icon so I use Ghostty.

Totally agree that objectively it's a tiny part. However, for one, I'𝗆 simply used to it because that how terminals behave in games, and two, because terminals with drop-down as a feature were the only ones that introduced me to a one-button hotkey, just like in a game.

I have determined that foot is best for me personally, like alacritty and a couple others, it is very barebones. No tabs or anything like that without tmux. But it doesn't rely on GPU acceleration and is just as fast (or faster) than my experience using GPU accelerated terminals. Easy to configure and since it doesn't have the GPU requirements it works on old hardware like a dream. Only possible issue is that it is wayland only but since that is all I like to use it is perfect.

I find a lot like ghostty and wezterm try to include too many features. All I need a terminal emulator to be is a terminal emulator. But then a lot of these then add tabs, build in multiplexers & more and it is more bloated than I like a simple utility to be. Additionally, I don't need native tabs as a lot I do in the terminal uses SSH so it is easier just to use tmux/zilji and not have to manage it as much.

When I need to install a terminal emulator for some reason I always go for urxvt.. but it is pretty terrible (it's a great vt but mouse interaction is clunky and graphics are old school) compared to pretty much everything else.

I liked posting a picture here so I think I will try to do it weekly 😀
This is what the dawn of January 1st 2025 looked like for me. We've slept in my van through the night to get this view. The temperature was about -20℃ but it was worth it in the end.
The flats in the picture is the frozen Lake Paravani and the mountains are the Samsari ridge.

Israeli-American funded and ran 'aid' organisation which lures Palestinians from north to south Gaza if they want to get food GHF exists to ethnically cleanse the north of Gaza because other aid organisations distributed accross all of Gaza.

GHF also has Israeli soldiers on tank machinegun position, spraying bullets into the crowd at food collection because they think that is funny.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't want the ASCII-Draw flatpak, but that's not the only way to get it:
- there's a Snap
- it can be installed from source
- there's also an AUR package

But maybe you're not on Arch, don't like Snaps (can't blame anyone for that) and don't want to install from source (same)? What type of package are you looking for? Only native package? For which distro?

महिला लापता: मंडी मेले से गायब खिरमा देवी चंबा में मिली, प्रेमी के साथ जाने की बात कबूली

Himachal News: मंडी जिले के कांढ़ी सरोआ गांव से महिला लापता होने की घटना ने सभी को चौंका दिया था। 20 वर्षीय खिरमा देवी, जो 15 जून 2025 को सतकुड़ी नाग देवता मेले में गई थी, अचानक गायब हो गई थी। गोहर पुलिस ने तकनीकी सहायता से उसकी लोकेशन ट्रेस की और उसे चंबा जिले के किलाड़ क्षेत्र में ढूंढ निकाला। खिरमा ने बताया कि वह अपनी इच्छा से प्रेमी रमेश कुमार के साथ गई है।

पुलिस जांच और खिरमा का बयान

गोहर थाना प्रभारी ने बताया कि खिरमा से मोबाइल पर संपर्क किया गया। उसने कहा कि वह रमेश के साथ चंबा गई है और अब घर नहीं लौटना चाहती। रमेश (22), चंबा के सलाणी गांव का निवासी है और मनाली में होटल में काम करता है। खिरमा ने पुलिस को बताया कि उनकी दोस्ती फेसबुक और इंस्टाग्राम पर छह महीने पहले शुरू हुई थी।

सोशल मीडिया ने बदली जिंदगी

खिरमा की शादी तीन साल पहले रोहित कुमार से हुई थी, लेकिन उनका वैवाहिक जीवन सुखी नहीं था। संतान न होने और पारिवारिक असंतोष ने उन्हें सोशल मीडिया की ओर आकर्षित किया। यहीं से रमेश के साथ उनकी दोस्ती गहरी हुई, जिसने उनके जीवन को नया मोड़ दिया। महिला लापता होने की शिकायत उनके पति रोहित ने गोहर थाने में दर्ज कराई थी।

पुलिस की सक्रियता

पुलिस ने शिकायत के बाद तुरंत कार्रवाई शुरू की। तकनीकी संसाधनों का उपयोग कर खिरमा की लोकेशन का पता लगाया गया। हिमाचल पुलिस ने इस मामले में पारदर्शिता बरती और दोनों पक्षों के बयान दर्ज किए। खिरमा और रमेश को महिला थाना चंबा में पेश होने के लिए कहा गया है।

आगे की जांच

पुलिस इस मामले की गहराई से जांच कर रही है। खिरमा के बयान के आधार पर यह स्पष्ट है कि वह अपनी मर्जी से रमेश के साथ गई, लेकिन पुलिस सभी पहलुओं की पड़ताल कर रही है। यह मामला सोशल मीडिया के प्रभाव और व्यक्तिगत निर्णयों की जटिलता को दर्शाता है। महिला लापता होने की यह घटना अब एक नए दिशा में बढ़ रही है।

That really hurts. I lost so many save files back then from cartridges where battery dies (or cart was sold) and from memory card corruption or other problems on the Playstation. Even today I lost save files because of HD problems (Steam games without Cloud Save or Emulator saves which I did not backup).

But nothing compares to a save file with thousand of hours and 20 years of managing it. Man, reading this I feel so sorry and sad for this person. Thanks Nintendo. That happens if you don't let people access save files directly and let them backup at least offline.

It isn’t necessarily the same game just the same franchise/series. You can catch new generations of pokemon every release and most of the time you can transfer your old pokemon to your newest game. You can catch, train, battle and trade with other players around the world.

It's not that you play one game exactly. The Pokemon games are about collecting and raising monsters. Each of those monsters have some unique stats and metadata.

Each time a sequel comes out, those games usually give you a way to transfer creatures from the old game to the new game (it used to be by linking games directly, now I think they have a side app).

Even though each generation brings kind of a totally new game, in same ways they have aspects of expansion packs. You can keep using the monsters you had before and building a bigger collection.

Basically...

Pokemon from Gens 3~7 (2000s to early 2019) can only be brought forward using a system that will no longer be officially supported at some point.

Pokemon in Gens 8 and 9 (the Switch games) are mostly considered "current", and can be swapped around between any current game and Pokemon Home.

Pokemon Home costs money to store Pokemon.

Generally, moving Pokemon between generations involves transferring them using some special tool. The final destination (unless you want to pay money) is usually a game, because that's where you can actually use them. The games also have plenty of storage that's "free" (at least, not subscription-based).

Pokemon in the games had been stored inside cartridges from Gen 1 to Gen 7 (90s to early 2019). It was only with the Switch that game saves (and thus Pokemon) stopped being saved to the cartridges, and instead were saved to the console's internal storage (not even an SD card).

Until 2019, getting a new console for your Pokemon games meant nothing -- you'd be able to use your old Pokemon and saves on the new console by plugging in your old game.

This is the first time you had to do anything special to get your saves onto your new console.

For added context, Nintendo offers a cloud saves for players to back up their Switch game saves.

Pokemon is the one of the only Nintendo franchises to not support cloud saves.

I wonder if they could mod the OG switch, backup the nand, then run software to find files without inodes on the backup. One of these should be the save file, right? It'd be a lot of work but possible.

Is there no way to backup your saves before attempting the transfer? Like just copy the save file?

in reply to MangoPenguin

greyfox

in reply to MangoPenguin • 3 mesi fa • •

Nope, the switch only keeps saves on the internal storage or synced to their cloud if you pay for it. When doing transfers between devices like this there is no copy option only a move and delete.

There are some legitimate reasons they want to prevent this like preventing users from duplicating items in multiplayer games, etc. Even if you got access to the files they are encrypted so that only your user can use them.

I think the bigger reason they do this is there are occasionally exploits that are done through corrupted saves. So preventing the user from importing their own saves helps protect the switch from getting soft modded.

If you mod your switch you can get access to the save files and since it has full access it can also decrypt them, so that you can back them up. One of several legitimate reasons to mod your switch.

Another case of piracy having far superior user experience compared to the legal, honest way of playing the game, not because piracy is intrinsically better but because the publisher deliberately makes the official experience as inconvenient and exploitative as possible.

I used to have a git repo in my emulator's save directory so I could have checkpoints that I can restore to if I ever get stuck.

Yeah it is pretty bad when an emulator offers a better experience than even a modded Switch.

Easy to load your choice of directory sync tool (i.e. NextCloud Sync Client/Synology Drive Client/etc, or Google Drive/OneDrive if you are on Windows) pointed at your emulators save directory and have your own automatic cloud sync that you have full control over, built in versioning, the works.

in reply to greyfox

MimicJar

in reply to greyfox • 3 mesi fa • •

AFAIK Pokemon doesn't do cloud saves.

The reason being to prevent duplication of Pokemon.

Given that the game is largely single player that seems like a stupid reason to me.

While I'm sure some people do a lot of breeding and IV training for the more competitive scene, be assume lots of people just hack together whatever team they need. Wonder Trade and Home have always been full of random shiny Pokemon.

Does Pokemon have microtransactions now? If so, I wouldn't be surprised if they deliberately made the transfer mechanism buggy so some kid loses all their Pokemon and their parents are forced to buy them back to get them to stop crying.

It wouldn't work that way. Individual Pokemon are made up of many stat values that make them much more unique than gacha characters and skins. My Espeon from Gale of Darkness can't be replaced with another Espeon.

No, they just charge a yearly fee for Home (which allows you to transfer). Pokemon Go (owned by the murderous Saudi royal family now, thanks Niantic) has tons of micro transactions.

It is absolutely a great idea. These shit phones are fucking dangerous.

They're completely different, depending on your needs. Some work easily for those without tech knowledge or very strict needs at usability, some are for privacy enthusiasts or endangered people and some are for techies who want to advance humanity.

I suggest trying on an older phone you already have or buying a used one.

Generally, i suggest not buying new at all, as a form of protest, anyway.

Titan A.E. came out 25 years ago, and history has been kind to the infamous flop that killed Fox Animation Studios

Luigi is white and they’re trying to send him to the gallows.

I think him being conservative is the factor here.

Although I agree if he weren’t white he would be treated way worse…

Tinder now lets you go on double dates

Crossposted from rss.ponder.cat/post/208519

Tinder is no longer just a platform for solo dates. The company has announced a new “Double Date” feature rolling out in the US that will let you invite a friend to find — and match with – another pair.

The feature lives within a new “Double Date” icon in the top-right corner of the app, where you can invite up to three friends to create pairs with. You can both scroll through a feed of paired profiles, which appear side by side with photos and descriptions. A match is created when one person from both pairs swipes right. Tinder will then open up a group chat with all four users.

The update should help Tinder gain an edge over rivals as the dating app industry continues to experience a slump. It will also allow Tinder to compete directly with platforms built for double dates, like Doubble and Fourplay.

Cleo Long, Tinder’s head of product marketing, told The Verge that the platform has been testing the feature in Europe for a “couple of months,” adding that it’s meant to help relieve dating pressure, especially among younger users. “This is a social-first experience that’s really meant to help relieve some of the pressure that we know a lot of Gen Z experiences with dating by making it more social, more fun, and bringing your friends in to help reinforce that comfort piece,” Long said.

Double Dates builds on some of the other social features Tinder has rolled out in recent years, including a feature that lets you share the details of your dates with other people, as well as a way for friends or family members to find matches for you.

Tinder plans on rolling out Double Dates globally in July.
