@ghjardim If you made a repo called "misc" or something and just put all sorts of unrelated files inside, wouldn't it be the same?

There are also NPCs that teach players what free means. Check this out! It's from #StendhalGame

Happy birthday!

#YouTube #NewPipe #LibreTube #Invidious #ViMusic

there's rumble.com and odysee.com

I use Tor browser and yewtu.be or inv.nadeko.net for yt vids; both these work hobbled though. if you get error, change your tor circuit, boom, works again.

@nithinbekal Thanks for the link!
Excellent explanation, @fractaledmind !

As a backend developer, I always thought SQLite was only meant to be used for testing. What about concurrent access (multiple users at the same time)? Is that covered too? Can I really live without a database server? I find this hard to believe.

#SQLite

@Suiseiseki
Why do you think Pleroma would be a better choice?

Woo, nice domain name :blobeyes:

@p4p4j0hn Up until NC 30, I also stayed on Bullseye. Then this upgrade came out and when I tried to apply it, it failed and said it needed Bookworm :D

@cosmin YouTube is doing that for VPNs now. It sucks.

@pesekcuy Yes, that's it.
@jrballesteros05 I could accept +18, but in my case that was just some innocent music mix.

Today, for the first time, #YouTube said I couldn't watch a video unless I logged in. In my browser! That always used to work.

I think we're in trouble. #NewPipe, #LibreTube, #Invidious, #ViMusic - none of these can help anymore. Maybe yt-dlp, but that's not always practical, especially for hour-long videos. And even it gets broken every now and then.

I used YouTube mostly for listening to music. I don't see any replacement for that. If we made a PeerTube instance and started uploading music like folks do on YouTube, we'd get in legal trouble in no time.

@p4p4j0hn And with that fork of Nextcloud_ynh that you're using, is it possible to have Nextcloud 30 in YunoHost Bullseye?

Also, I didn't know about configuration hooks until now 😅

@snonux My understanding and my explanation for the situation you described is that GNU Tar doesn't look at the filename suffix, but at its content. So when you uncompress it knows what kind of file you have (because it exists), but when you compress it doesn't (because all it has is a name, which could be anything). You could just create a gzipped tar with any name, like even `iosevka-iaso.txt` if you wanted, and Tar would know how to uncompress it without caring about the name.

I really wasn't planning on upgrading my #YunoHost today, but there was a Nextcloud update available and it said it would only work on the new YunoHost so I had to do it.

Had some hiccups, but everything had already been discussed in the forums so I got it working in no time.

A conversation between me and my friend on Telegram:

Me: Hey, install Quicksy. I don't want to chat on Telegram, it's not E2EE.

Friend: No. I'm not going to install your weird apps.

Me: But, it's free software (স্বাধীন সফ্টওয়ার) and really good, supports E2EE!

Friend: No. I have nothing to fear. I don't care if someone reads my chats.

This went on for some minutes, I couldn't persuade him to install Quicksy. So I gave up.

After a week, when he was about to say something political on a Telegram voice call (this was E2EE)

Friend: I don't want to say it over phone, you know.

Me: Well, this call is E2EE, say whatever you want. Only you and me can hear it.

Then, he said it.

i love this paper

I can also recommend LanguageTool.

At least the core is distributed under the LGPL (look for "source code" on their website).
