I got annoyed at not finding CC for the media I have dubbed, so if the show/movie is originally in English and I have it in Spanish, the Spanish subtitles are not from the Spanish audio, but translations of the English audio, so they don’t usually match.
(which Tom Scott recently made a video about this issue https://youtu.be/pU9sHwNKc2c)

I found and been using this project https://github.com/jhj0517/Whisper-WebUI
It’s been pretty good, for youtube videos (10-30 minutes) has been perfect.
But there are some issues when I tried it with movies, the timings are not great, and sometimes it hallucinates some words in parts where there aren’t any. Just a few words are actually wrong/missing. (I tried it with fastwhisper since I don’t have that much ram)

Well, that’s what has always been mentioned, defederated from them, AFAIK there’s no way of blocking it completely from the fediverse, so if your instance’s admin wants they can decide to not block them and you can interact with meta.

If your instance defederates and you want to still see their activity then you can choose an instance which is still federated with them.

IIRC most stuff can be done with vanilla JS in any modern browser.
Although, I’ve been doing little front-end work, and mostly for personal projects, nothing fancy nor production ready, so someone might have another opinion about using jQuery.

I recently switched to ubuntu in a gaming laptop, right now I’ve been using it just for jellyfin and some other coding tasks, but it definitely runs smoother, more stable, quicker, and cooler than windows did for the same workload.
I was surprised at the difference of even just having the machine idle, on windows it was noticeable warm, now on ubuntu it’s almost as if it has been turned off.

I don’t like the idea of security by obscurity, seems like a lazy way of trying to protect a resource.

You can host your own instance to share your opinions.
Still don’t expect other instances for allowing content they don’t want to be federated with, so you might have where to say something but it might not reach everyone.

Not OP, but I’m thinking about the example in vs code: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets
Some boilerplate code for libraries and frameworks I constantly use.
I’d be more interested in syncing the VS code snippets as they are automatically available in a file for each language and have the autocomplete stops.

What do you mean?
The frontend yeah, but seems the S3 objects would still need to be public.

I resorted to buy a new one with android tv, so now I just have tailscale installed in it and can directly play jellyfin.

The issue is the chromecast can’t resolve back to the tailnet with subrouting. Probably connecting the chromecast to a network which resolves the connections for it could work, but I don’t know how to do that or if it’s actually possible.

It’s funny they think 5 seconds of no content is worst of 10~30 seconds of ads.

Windows: you’re going to use wsl, right?

I want instances that block as few other users as possible so I can decide for myself what content I see.

Then you want to selfhost, otherwise you’ll always be at the will of someone else to decide which instances they want to federate with.

Even then, you’ll still want to have in mind instances known for spam, bots, or shady content have been blocked.

The actions are amazing, and I was also able to integrate them with tailscale so I can build and deploy everything within my network automatically.
I run it in a vps with 1cpu and 2gb ram along several other services.

Well, not only this data, all activity on lemmy is public since it needs to be federated (sent to all instances subscribed to the community will receive all activity).
Which means any person can track anyone if they subscribe to the same communities the user’s instance has.

AFAIK the only activity not sent is saved content, and downvotes from content hosted in instances which disabled them.

And all instances which are subscribed to this community need to receive this information to keep it updated.

human faces, and body parts

Wait, what? Weren’t there ads saying you could change the faces of your friends so they’ll be smiling?

EDIT: yep, here it is https://youtu.be/1qjnB2uZMqw?t=30s

The last time I checked postgres gets big becouse of a log activity table used for deduplication, it stores the data of 6 months. The devs mentioned you could be deleting it up to some point (IIRC they said 3 months, but confirm first).

As for pictrs, lemmy caches a lot of stuff, so it copies a lot of data from other instances even when it’s advertised only media from your instance is stored in your server.
My solution was to disable pictrs since I don’t upload media.
Other solutions I’ve heard about are to ask users of your instance to upload media to any other media hosting service, the images uploaded to lemmy are just seen as urls, so it wouldn’t be any different.

Several from here https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted and here https://github.com/awesome-foss/awesome-sysadmin

The most recent one was vikunja to manage to-do’s without cluttering my calendar.

I’ve been thinking on pre-processing my library to be able to serve it on a low level device, have you thought about that option?
In my case since I know what content I’ll be watching the most in what devices and have the space to duplicate it (since I don’t want to lose the original files)

That’s exactly what 1:a:0 does, from the first stream, from the audio streams, select the first stream.
In this case since the audio is the second stream 1:a:0 is the same as 1:1

I just tried it the other way, moving the audio from the mkv to the mp4 and it works properly.
Probably I can try to bundle the video of the mkv into an mp4 since Jellyfin is going to be doing it anyway when I try to stream to most devices.

there’s also Aegis and 2FAS, but I have no idea about WebDAV servers and also don’t want to rely on Google Drive for backup, also because I’m moving away from Google services.

If your only issue are the backups, then you can still use aegis with automatic encrypted backup to a folder in your device and then use syncthing to automatically send it to your machine. From there use any other backup solution like duplicati or restic.
(Remember that syncthing is not a backup solution, it should only be used as a way to automatically sync files between devices) (People have had many issues with duplicate, but I’ve only seen posts about huge amounts of data, for something like aegis backups has been working fine for me)

I’d also recommend you asking in !selfhosted@lemmy.world
