Any experienced torrenters here? For me a torrent took like 3 days for a 4 Gigabyte movie, I had like 1 slow ass peer at a time.

Ive been running cosmic for the last couple of weeks and im very happy with it already. I think the future of linux desktops has never looked this bright.

I'm looking for a foss self hosted music service that will let me play music from my computer, my phone, and home assistant all while remembering where i was in the song and where i was in the playlist. Ideally it would be as simple as hitting pause on one and play on the other.

Time for 2025 printer research!

Have been stalling getting a new printer since this HP has been doing me fine since way back. But of course we need to prepare for the inevitable firmware updates and subscription raises that will lock us in.

What I've heard is best:

• Laser Printers
• Brother branded

Recently though, Brother started doing the funky like all other printer companies. This stopped me last time when I was about to buy one.

I won't get into the details as to where I've found and read this information because it's in the back of my mind.

And since I'm really just here to ask: WHAT KIND OF PRINTER YOU GOT, LINUX USERS?

Preferably under $200.

EDIT: Scanning + Printer + Copier combo is the ultimate goal, but whatever else works too. Preferably wifi connected. But I can make some Ethernet cables.

I hope this kind of post is allowed (different language, political in nature). I checked the rules but nothing sounded against it.

The linked image is from the German satirical magazine "Postillon" and reads:

‘It's genocide’ – Captain Obvious also presents investigation report on Gaza

The other German bits are unrelated jokes with a less serious topic as typical for the magazine:

Poison: Is it really as bad as people claim?

Free Jimmy Kimmel in each magazine!

"I don't feel seen" Spirit of Don Aurelio di Monteverdi (dead since 1573) in an interview

With the recent discussions around replacing Spotify with selfhosted services and the possibilities to obtain the music itself, I've been finally setting up Navidrome. I had to do quite a bit of reorganization to do with my existing collection (beets helping a ton) but now it's in a neatly organized structure and I'm enjoying it everywhere. I get most of my stuff from Bandcamp but I have a big catalog from when I've still had a large physical collection.

I'm also still working on my docker quasi gitops stack. I've cleaned up my compose files and put the secrets in env files where I hadn't already, checked them into my new forgejo instance and (mostly) configured renovate. Komodo is about to get productive but I couldn't find the time yet. Also I need to figure out how to check in secrets in a secure way. I know some but I haven't tried those with Komodo yet. This close of my fully automated update-on-merge compose stacks!

I've also been doing these for quite a while and decided to sometimes post them in !selfhosting@slrpnk.net to possibly help moving a bit from the biggest Lemmy instance, even though this community as it is is perfectly fine as well as it seems.

What's going on on your servers? Anything you are trying to pursue at the moment?

From Operation Gladio - Paul L Williams:

But no Latin American country, not even Pinochet's Chile, could equal the levels of violence that followed the military coup of March 24, 1976, in Argentina. Indeed, the only regime to create a state of fear approximating that of Argentina was Hitler's Germany.37 (There were other parallels to Nazism, including a government-sponsored hate campaign against the country's four hundred thousand Jews.) As many as thirty thousand political prisoners (including students, union organizers, journalists, and even pregnant women) were killed or disappeared during the 1976–1983 “Dirty War,” which was fully endorsed by the Ford, Carter, and Reagan administrations.38 Political killings took place on the average of seven a day in 1977. Nor were Argentines the only victims. An estimated fourteen thousand refugees from other South American military regimes were told to leave the country or face the possibility of arrest. Torture was automatic for anyone arrested, according to a spokesman for the World Council of Churches.39

THE US ENDORSEMENT

Recently declassified National Security documents show that the CIA and the US State Department remained primary sponsors of the military junta, which was led by General Jorge Videla. On February 16, 1976, six weeks before the coup, Robert Hill, the US ambassador to Argentina, reported to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger that the plans for the coup were underway and that a public relations campaign had been mounted that would cast the new military regime in a positive light. Hill added that even though “some executions would probably be necessary,” the leaders of the junta remained determined “to minimize any resulting problems with the US”40On March 25, 1979, two days after the coup, William Rogers, assistant secretary for Latin America, advised Kissinger that the military takeover of Argentina would result in “a fair amount of repression, probably a good deal of blood.” To this warning, Kissinger responded, “Yes, but that is in our interest.”41

On March 30, 1976, Ambassador Hill sent a seven-page assessment of the new regime to Kissinger. In the report, Hill wrote, “This is probably the best executed and most civilized coup in Argentine history.” One week later, US Congress approved a request from the Ford Administration, written by Kissinger, to provide $50 million in aid to the new military regime.42

So I have been using it for a while for navidrome, can't say how good it is for Jellyfin, but it supports both and is pretty awesome if any of you have navidrome or Jellyfin and have a desktop this is a pretty awesome piece of software

Today is some more Final Fantasy 7. I felt like sitting back down with it today and played through Chapter 5. As i was backtracking i bumped into this old lady in a argument with a soldier. I was trying to get a photo of it, but accidentally got one instead where it looks like the Old Lady is about to fight Cloud and the solider is either trying to talk her out of it or into it.

I got to the opening of Chapter 5 today. I'm not really sure what's up with it but everything has like a blue tint which is really throwing me off. Idk if it's intentional or not, but it's very noticeable.

My initial struggles with the combat i feel like suddenly vanished. Maybe i just needed a moment for it to click, but when i went into Roche's fight it felt fluid and really natural. I think before i was being too aggressive with it. With this fight i did a lot more dodging and blocks which helped. I also tread to keep tabs on enemies weaknesses which really helped.

On a similar subject of the combat, there's it's wielder, Cloud. I really like how he's starting to warm up to everyone. I was worried he was always going to be kind of cold and distant, so seeing this growth is nice. Also love seeing him try to be a good friend to Tifa, we could always use more people like that in the world.

I want to see if i can play some more of it tomorrow, i'll have see though. I'm not sure what my day will be like.
