Two candidates for my best-discovery-of-the-year prize,
Ptyxis terminal: https://gitlab.gnome.org/chergert/ptyxis A modern take at a terminal, gtk-4 native, gpu accelerated, container-aware etc that replaced tilix in my setup. And it comes neatly packaged as a flatpak
LogSeq notes: https://github.com/logseq/logseq A different approach to note taking & journal. Very nice looking, rich plugin ecosystem, could use some performance boost but I think they are working on it
Big shootout to flatpak/flathub that for me has finally taken off, I converted all of my regular desktop apps to flatpaks. Went from 3-4 apps last year to ~20 (including Firefox libreoffice, even my terminal app) this year and not looking back. This has made doing a major host SW upgrade almost painless for the first time in 25+ years using Linux desktops.

What a weekend for Williams and most specially for Colapinto! Here's to hoping he will take this chance and make his 9-race-only chance the start of a brilliant F1 career. He seems to have what it takes

Well these days we have flatpak to solve the "not in the repo" (or 'old version in the repo') problem.

It's a fair point but I would rather diversify and also use something that is open / less opaque

A few years ago when my org got the ask to deploy the CS agent in linux production servers and I also saw it getting deployed in thousands of windows and mac desktops all across, the first thought that came to mind was "massive single point of failure and security threat", as we were putting all the trust in a single relatively small company that will (has?) become the favorite target of all the bad actors across the planet. How long before it gets into trouble, either because if it's own doing or due to others?
I guess that we now know
I wanted to know what people recommend as a starter glass set for a prospective new z6 owner. Said owner had a d500 with the following lenses: - 16/80 f2.8-4 - 70-300 (newer version) - 50 f1.8 - 35 f1.8 For equivalent or better range coverage, and better sharpness, and without breaking the bank - what glass do people recommend?

Thank you! that fixed it - I only had "undertermined" selected as language. It's curious that other communities did not show this problem before.

I thought this was a boost issue, but even using lemm.ee's web site, when browsing to my Nikon subscription (https://lemm.ee/c/nikon@lemmy.world) I don't see any post. If I go to the same community from lemmy.world's own site, I can see recent posts: https://lemmy.world/c/nikon I noticed the same problem in other communities (but I thought the issue was my lemmy client). Can this be fixed?

For a low end, small, low consumption Intel box for HTPC/Kodi, Home assistant, Frigate, small Home Server or all of the above, I can recommend any N100-based box or mini itx mobo. It's very fast compared to prior Intel low consumption CPUs (apollo lake etc), does 4K, HDR, AV1.

FLAC is pretty much the standard. No loss, reasonable compression (2:1 average, Google this), supports hdaudio, multichannel, any common bitrate and bit depth. It is the format of choice when purchasing and downloading content from the likes of 7digital qobuz etc. universally supported by players including hardware-based hifi players. You can't go wrong with it.

I.V. Drip blend from darkcity cofee in Toronto. Roasted a few days ago. Looking forward to my morning cortado!
Thought I would mention here two things: how much BETTER the rockwell 6S is vs. my 5-year old Merkur Progress. Everybody praises the Progress, the retro look and general quality is there BUT it has this problem with the blade always requiring manual fidgeting to get properly centered, plenty of posts and videos mention this and even so they praise it. In my view, it's a time-waster, with every blade change. Enter the 6S, super simple design, no fidgeting at all required, perfect alignment everytime in one try, and shaves just great! Second point I will make is what a great surprise the rockwell blades have been. My prior top-blade has been the Personna Blues specially on the merkur progress, however, the rockwell blades seem to be a perfect fit for my use case: zero nicks/cuts for weeks. Definitely less sharp than the personnas but they seem to be perfect for my skin and use case (full shave once a week, face and head as well, and trimming/edging a couple times in-between). Normally I use the R2 head in the 6S.
Looking for recommendations for a touchless car wash. Currently using the shell at Burnharmthorpe and Mavis but its kind of far. There is another one I used in the past in Dixon and Islington that is supposed to give both touchless and roller options, selectable in the screen, but the last time i was there it didnt ask, used rollers.

I just checked that link and YES, actually it is, thanks for pointing it out. The docs must have been updated for v0.13, they added the ffmpeg prefix to the go2rtc stance, this wasn't there before. I found this originally in a github bug discussion with the frigate dev, where he suggested the person having issues to try this out and see what happens. There was no follow up after that suggestion though.

Note - another helpful tip for 510WA cams: in this github listing: Reolink Firmware Archive, you can find a link to version 3.1.0.1387 which I have been running for a week, this version is much newer than the latest official release (.764), it adds two useful new options in t he Stream configuration section (which is only accessible via the Web interface of the cam),
- interframe space: set it to 1X
- frame rate mode: set it to fixed

If you use Reolink wifi cams via the Frigate integration in homeassistant, you may be used to seeing tons of "ffmpeg has crashed unexpectedly" in your frigate logs. I have 3 older reolink wifi cams in frigate (510WA, 511WA) which most in the community seems to advise against and indeed since I've been running frigate, while they worked, they have been problematic since Frigate 0.12 and the arrival of go2rtc Cutting down to the chase, when I was using the standard common configuration with these cameras: ``` go2rtc: streams: driveway: - "http://192.168.x.y/flv?port=1935&app=bcs&stream=channel0_main.bcs&user=USER&password=PASSWORD#video=copy" driveway_sub: - "http://192.168.x.y/flv?port=1935&app=bcs&stream=channel0_sub.bcs&user=USER&password=PASSWORD" ``` ... frigate would generally work with them however in the logs I could see that the ffmpeg process that frigate creates for each re-stream would crash every few minutes, accumulating thousands of crashes over time. I assume that the crashes would also cause event detection to be unavailable for a brief period each time they happened. With Frigate 0.13, it got even worse, as with each crash, the HA dashboard would show a black image with a "No frames received" message that would only go away after a manual dashboard refresh. I believe the issue is that go2rtc was unable to properly handle the streams from these old cams, while in the past, ffmpeg directly in frigate could do it, adding some ffmpeg parameter. The solution I found a few days ago that ALMOST COMPLETELY eliminated all the "ffmpeg crashed unexpectedly" situations (I went from THOUSANDS of errors to just one or two errors after a few days) is to change the go2rtc configuration so that it uses ffmpeg instead of it's own code to connect to the cams: ``` go2rtc: streams: driveway: - "ffmpeg:http://192.168.x.y/flv?port=1935&app=bcs&stream=channel0_main.bcs&user=USER&password=PASSWORD#video=copy" driveway_sub: - "ffmpeg:http://192.168.x.y/flv?port=1935&app=bcs&stream=channel0_sub.bcs&user=USER&password=PASSWORD" ``` I also have the following global ffmpeg configuration in frigate's config file, not sure if it helps or not: ``` ffmpeg: global_args: -hide_banner -loglevel error hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi input_args: -avoid_negative_ts make_zero -fflags +genpts+discardcorrupt -flags low_delay -strict experimental -analyzeduration 1000M -probesize 1000M -rw_timeout 5000000 ``` This go2rtc configuration decreased CPU utilization significantly (frigate 0.13 itself also helped apparently). Hoping this will help others in the same situation, as the cams themselves are not bad, it's just their software that sucks, but that can be worked around quite nicely with ffmpeg.

what is the point of doing that? I just checked and I have hundreds of entities, it would take a huge amount of time to see which ones to keep visible / which ones are used in automations or visualization etc. What is the harm of just leaving them exposed?

I am no programmer either, mainly a technical-oriented user, and I made the switch to a linux-only desktop almost 20 years ago. I tried several distros but I keep coming back to ubuntu (in vanilla gnome mode), with it's closeness to debian and huge library of apps, with it's massive userbase you get a lot of online community support, and it's really polished these days. For the last 5-6 years or so I've been using "LTS" releases, doing major updates every two years, I found that to be a very reasonable cadence and it gives you great environment stability. The only significant downside I found these days is ubuntu's insistence in using their (proprietary?) snap desktop container app ecosystem, I personally much prefer flatpaks, and actually I use flatpaks extensively on my ubuntu desktop for SW that needs frequent updating (darktable, logseq, etc)

Baratza Vario W - daily use for the last 8 years or so and going strong. Zero ground coffee mess, decently accurate and consistent (grinds by weight), looks nice. Mine only needed one burr adjustment in the 5 year mark (it comes with tool and the instructions).
With the release of 2023.8 I noticed there is built-in shopping list functionality in HA. Up to now at home we have been using Alexa's shopping list (we have an old echo in the kitchen so it's been practical). My question: is there a way to somehow have the Echo's/alexa's shopping list feature to manage HA's shopping list by default? I recall from ages ago that there were Alexa skills like todoist that could take over the shopping list in the echo, is there anything equivalent from the HA community?
New to pixelfed, is am using the android client. Overall it works very well but there is one basic thing I couldn't figure out, is there a way to have the feeds (network/public/home) sorted with some criteria, e.g. Show recent posts with more Likes at the top etc?

DT 4.4.2 is out... And the website and forums are back up and running. Also the flatpak release in flathub has been updated and runs neatly

Cuantos recuerdos, esos heladitos en Cadore con amigos de la primaria! Una de las cosas que más se extrañan viviendo lejos de Buenos Aires/Argentina: la calidad de los helados, la institución de la Heladería
I wanted to create the first thread on this community about DT 4.4.1, only to find that the darktable.org site is down. Also the DT forum at pixls.us has been down for a few days. Regardless, what an amazing re DT release 4.4.1 is. Having used DT since the early 2.x days, it's incredible how far the software has evolved. It's very technical, but totally worth the learning curve. I am using the flatpak version these days, on ubuntu 22.04.

With 2-bedroom rentals in the 3k+/mth range and 3-4br houses in the 5-6k/mth range, I wonder what level of family income is needed (specially to afford renting a house) and what kinds of professions/jobs are the ones that can allow you, in Toronto, to achieve that.

Years on the waiting and finally a replacement for my fanless Apollo lake home server seems to be on the way! After the disappointments of Jasper lane and prior announcements this one seems for real. 3-4 times better compute metrics and half the power. Wondering what are others in the community using these days for always-on home server/media streaming needs?
