Pixel art is most usually associated with low-resolution, retro anesthetics. However, the term "high definition" /"high-resolution"-pixel art refers to pixel art created at higher resolutions, where the individual pixels are smaller and less discernible. Which allows for more detailed and intricate pixel art designs. This is more and more seen in games, such as Eastward, Dead Cells or Backbone. Examples of low red pixel art would be Stardew Valley, Pokémon or Rain World.

Though games can incorporate both methods. Such had high res backgrounds and low res features and characters.

Came here to suggest the same app! Seriously good app.

Can follow the artist on BlueSky for those interested in Pixel Art.

 

This game is about a scientist uses a unique teleportation instrument to escape an ancient biomechanical world filled with imaginative technology, deadly traps, and hidden secrets.

Highly recommend watching the trailer for this game.

Launching Q1 of 2025.

They have different projects there each year, but it's based on what people talk about and use. AFAIK, there has been almost none links for updates to OMV here on Lemmy for example nor do I personally hear about it very often.

Also, they'd didn't even include Unraid as an option in this survey so it's a bit weird to call them out for that?

Yes they do have some advertising, but it's completely tracking free and not those stupid dynamic adds other podcasts go for. It's not an easy job keeping multiple podcasts series alive with barely any advertising. So in this case I'm happy unraid sponsor them, it's highly relevant to the show/listeners and it's an amazing NAS OS.

I'm sure OMV is a great OS, but compared to other options such as TrueNAS or proxmox it's nearly never mentioned.

No not all Debrid services are under the same jurisdiction. The reason this has been a topic lately is because most of these services have been hoisted out of France specifically. And the French are extremely strict when it comes to copyright and DMCA, to the extent that they actively hunt down the individuals hosting such services through their social media. One fine example of this here. .

So essentially just need to stay away from countries hosting their services through France as it's more likely to get shut down.

 

Their terminal will now be functional offline, as terminals should be...

Do as you wish, pay for what you want to pay for - its your money.

That being said; these services will have to comply with French law. Real-Debrid probably didn't have much choice to do what they did as they were hit with a formal notice from the French Federation of Film Distributors (FNEF). The french have been for a long while now been trying very hard to remove as many of these services as possible. First it was Hadopi agency, now merged with the Higher Audiovisual Council to form the more powerful regulator Arcom. Here's a SS from this article about their anti-piracy efforts in 2022.

Similar services that are hosted in France will have to comply the second they get a notice from Arcom. France is obviously way more committed to removing piracy I'd say its a good call to not pay into french services... Personally, I wont be paying for services hosted in France as I believe its only a matter of time before more are struck down.

I have crossed out All-Debrid too as that is also hosted in France and is bound to be hit by the same hammer as Real-Debrid was.

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Not sure myself, just went with one month of Premiumize to test that first. Will then try the rest too see which service suits me better.

Ah NVM... Debrid Link is also French.... https://debrid-link.com/legal

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

Not sure tbh. Guess it depends what you are downloading and if you are using their service directly and not through their API. They will not block and ban people downloading stuff from their banned lists and their API can no longer be used.

It's better to switch Debrid Service to support someone willing to host a better service imo.

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In short: it's gone "full legal" mode. Blocking most used streaming sites and removed their API access. So it's literally unusable for folks sailing the high seas.

 

For those of us hit by the recent announcement here is a graph I found with some other services worth checking for your next voyages. I have crossed out All-Debrid too as that is also hosted in France and is bound to be hit by the same hammer as Real-Debrid was.

Feel free to share your alternative solutions in the comments below, but always do you research carefully!

The graph shows which Debrid services are supported by each addon for Stremio. Torbox seems to be a new popular and modern alternative. If anyone has any experience with any of the listed services then feel free to share your experiences in the comments.

Edit: Debrid-Link is also French!

Is there a place to view the status of this service and or to view updates from it?

Hi there folks!

I've used Linux for a good while now, but have no idea how to troubleshoot the current issues I'm having with my laptop at work. Let's begin.

The laptop at hand is a HP EliteBook 845 14inch Notebook G10. A standard work laptop, with Windows pre-installed from It. This PC is "new" in the sens that I just got it from IT.

Laptop specs:

  • CPU: AMD ryzen 5 7540U
  • GPU: Radeon 740M Graphics
  • RAM: 16GB
  • Kernel: 6.11.6-2-default

Other notable settings:

  • fast boot off
  • secure boot off
  • have encrypted the drive

FYI: These issues have been the same across multiple distros and DEs. I've tried, Bluefin, Aurora, Red Hat Workstation and now running OpenSuse Tumbleweed (KDE+Wayland).

The issues:

  1. The first noticeable issues were that the laptop fans are considerable louder when running Linux. I assume there is some preinstalled HP software to control this on windows, as they are completely silent on windows, but constantly noticeable on Linux.

  2. The second issue at hand is that the USB-C port doesn't seem to charge the laptop properly. The laptop randomly dies after being on for a while WITH THE CHARGER PLUGGED IN. Very odd. This happens with both normal charger and the office charger (which is also the connection to external screen).

  3. Waking up from sleep is a terrible experience. The pc makes everything super slow and laggy. Opening a single application can take up to multiple minutes. The PC has to be restarted for this to be fixed. This happens on both X11 and Wayland.

  4. Connection to external monitor also seems to be causing issues and slowing the system down. Especially after pc has been in sleep mode.


These are the main issues I've ran into in only a couple of days trying Linux on this laptop and I don't know what the causing issue is, or if the laptop simple isn't 'made' to run Linux(?).

Would highly appreciate any tips or troubleshooting tips for this. Would love to be able to run Linux on the work laptop!


Edit 1: Now trying Ubuntu, so far so good! Will keep post updated.

Edit 2: Ubuntu seems to do well with this hardware/laptop.

 

Hi there good folks! Trying to wrap my head around how this stack works. Previously I've been using NextDNS for this and it worked wonders. However, I've wanted to explore other options and have now gone with the Adguard+Unbound route on a RPI 4B.. This setup defo works, its blocking what I want blocked, but its created a new issue I've not had before. On my Graphene OS phone, as long as this setup is "active" (e.g. over Tailscale), all my notifications through various applications are getting delayed. Each notification come roughly 10 min late, if at all, or appear as soon as I open the corresponding app. I'm pretty sure this caused by either Adguard or Unbound but betting my money on Unbound - as I don't see any relevant DNS queries being blocked.

I am still a little unsure of what is causing this issue so if anyone would be able to enlighten me on how I could troubleshoot this issue I would be very grateful.

 

Hi there!

A bunch of us at work have been looking at getting Intune running on our Linux machines, this is needed to get Wi-Fi access at work. While there is a guide on getting this on Linux - the requirements are strictly limiting this to RedHat and Ubuntu and Gnome only. Has anyone here had any success with setting this up? Was it difficult?

I tried myself just once last week, but on Aurora (KDE), via a RHEL distrobox, and assumed it failed due to my main system not having gnome-keyring installed(?) as the terminal would spit out "gnome-keyring" a couple of times when launching Intune. Was gonna try with RHEL myself during this week, but wanted to hear here first if anyone has had any success with this at all before i attempt to get it running.

Appreciate any response on this :)

We're kicking off our 2024 end-of-year fundraiser just in time for Halloween!

Even if the spine-tingling horrors of the long dark night of Walpurgis are mostly imaginary, the sinister threats of predatory proprietary software providers remain all too real.

Fear not! We, the KDE community, will help you, your friends, family, company, and community banish all the creepy and insidious proprietary software that haunts your computers, phones, and household appliances.

But we can't do it alone! We need you to help us fight the good fight against the tech-ghouls from beyond. Use the form to donate any amount to our fundraiser (or become a regular donor to our community) and help us keep the dark forces of proprietary software at bay.

Check link for the horror stories and fundraising progress 👍

 

Hiya, I am looking into a few different services to better manage my finances, among the highest recommended ones there is ActualBudget. Actualbugdet itself is opensource and private, however, to get the most out of this service you may connect it to your bank, via a third party service. Has anyone here actually done this? The service (for EU folks) is called GoCardless. This however, to me is ringing many alarms..

Here is the screenshot showing the message before connecting to my bank..

Here GoCardless's list of partners/suppliers:

https://assets.ctfassets.net/40w0m41bmydz/6Mg3PGztGEQh11N3MNRmYc/1f186cf883151ca04b9c71c23b5ee4d3/GoCardless_material_supplier_list_v2024.09.pdf

I assume there is no private alternative that allows you to connect to your bank into AcualBudget or another service, if so please let me know! Managing finances would be so much more convenient if it all was automatically synced into a self-hosted service.

Let me know how you manage your finances :)
