Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Does anyone have any experience with Sync-in for online files?English
7·4 months agoCopyparty is awesome. You don’t even need to sync you can just mount WebDAV
I have been on the Synapse HDD path. It was slow even for a single-user instance.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•You ever wake up and question, "am i the bad guy"?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•At one time, a man seeing a female's naked knee was equivalent to a man seeing a female's breast today.
4·5 months agoDaddy is used normally here. I can’t think of a Cantonese equivalent off my head right now, but we have plenty of phrases describing different relationships types.
For example, 食軟飯 (eat soft rice) means a man being financially dependent on a woman.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Reproducible alternatives to nextcloud?English
4·6 months agoSome Android file managers support WebDAV. I’m using Amaze which unfortunately doesn’t, so instead I have DAVx5 and I can use it to browse files on the server.
Alternatively, you can use rclone in Termux to download the server files to the device. I use this to sync music from my server.
For your PDF use case, unfortunately you will need to first download the file before opening it.

10·6 months agoCopyparty! https://github.com/9001/copyparty
Insanely powerful, consumes much less resource and is very easy to setup. It does one thing (cloud storage) and it does it well.
It doesn’t have file sync, but it has WebDAV. You can mount the server as a drive. There is an account and sharing system.

Linux@lemmy.ml•debian 13.2 with yt-dlp 2025.12.08 from yt-dlp/yt-dlp. What command do I need to download the newest format available, not exceeding 1080p and up to VP9?
1·7 months agoSeems like a job for
ffmpeg. You may want to look into post-processing options ofyt-dlp.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•People around the world are trying to learn English because it's the Lingua Franca, but imagine if the Lingua Franca of the world was a Tonal Language and the writing system was Logographic.
2·7 months agoThe tone 2 and 5 difference is subtle. 5 goes not as high as 2. Most of the time people pronounce them lazily but I can figure it out from the context.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names.

All Gentoo users remember the pain of compiling QtWebEngine ;)
I used to run Gentoo on my old computer. Installing it was quite the experience. That was where I learnt about most of how Linux works thanks to the wiki.
I heard compiling your own packages with use flags can improve performance, but honestly it was not worth it for the compile time.
When I switched to my new PC, the Nvidia GPU doesn’t work and I could not figure out why. I also don’t have the time at that moment so I installed Endeavour instead, which I’m still using.
What kind of sicko try to find their repos from the recent list on the main page??



Yes. I have completely forgotten about symbolic links while writing this
