For those on the fence about Borg Backup because it’s a command line app, FYI there’s a great frontend GUI for it called Vorta (yeah, in line with the Trek theme lol) that works really well. I don’t see it mentioned often, thought I’d pass that along. Might want to avoid the Flatpak version if you need to back up stuff outside your /home dir.

Yeah, but OG Cliffjumper (I’m sure you probably remember) was voiced by the legendary Casey Kasem, which is really cool. Like…this battlefield is freakin me out, I gotta transform and roll out, Scoob!

This is beautiful. I have an old Hitchhikers’s Guide omnibus edition with gold lettering that this reminds me of. I should give the whole series another read. Thanks for posting this.

I believe ytDownloader might be what you’re looking for. It’s a yt-dlp frontend, you can export to video/audio pretty easily. And it’s in active development. I’ve used it to export short clips to WAV a few times, nothing too fancy, but so far it works pretty well.

This is trippy, I didn’t know Starship was a thing. JFC, I feel like I’ve been living under a rock. I’m reading up on it on their site, and I’m impressed by the range of shell support and customizable options.

This is gonna be really helpful for me, especially for work… I’m constantly switching between several perpetually-open terminal windows used for different things, and it’s real easy to confuse what local dir I’m in and/or what repo/branch I’m connected to. I didn’t realize I needed this in my command line. Thank you for posting this!

Wow, that is really disturbing. WTF, IG?

I don’t think Tailscale counts as a reverse proxy, but it does support HTTP/3 and QUIC so that suggestion may not apply here. Still, it might be worth double-checking to see if they are disabled. Also, have you tried disabling Tailscale altogether and connecting directly?

the song will abruptly stop playing at about the 1 quarter mark (only skipping the song or restarting will fix)

You aren’t the only one to report halted playback in Navidrome. It appears to be a known open issue that goes back a few years.

One user in particular suggested last fall that the source of the bug may not be Navidrome’s fault. Are you using a reverse proxy?

For those that are still struggling with this issue, I can confirm that (in my case) the problem was related to the HTTP/3 QUIC protocol (not a Navidrome issue). As suggested by a few others in this thread, the issue can be addressed by ensuring that your reverse proxy supports and is configured for HTTP/3 QUIC, or by turning off the QUIC protocol on the client side (browser configuration), or by disabling HTTP/3 (with QUIC) feature on Cloudflare.

You know what, you’re right. I’ll make sure child me from 30 years ago doesn’t do it again.

I picked up Tekworld #1 eons ago, back when I was a young voracious comic book collector and would buy anything off the “New” shelf. I never bothered to read it…I figured it couldn’t be worse than TJ Hooker, but it appears I was terribly mistaken. I’m sorry I contributed to this shitty franchise, I thought it would be worth a fortune when I got old (it’s not).

Also, wrt:

I’m not sure how thankful I should be that someone made William Shatner’s TekWar more accessible to me, but at least I didn’t struggle with PGUP and PGDN to move my virtual neck.

Yeah, thank your lucky stars that gaming with a mouse became a fuckin thing, because hitting PGUP and PGDN to pan up & down sucked back then too.

This would come in handy for temporary outages or worst-case scenarios where the instance doesn’t come back. Should be interesting to see how it develops

Whoa, trippy. Your comments all have an orange-brown background?

edit: oh wow, mine too.

I’m curious about lemmy.world server upgrades. How do you test something like this? Do you upgrade a private staging server and run scripts that simulate user interaction at scale, or is it more like “fuck it, v.73.9.0.367.12.42.0.9 looks safe enough, just deploy it on production”? I’m trying to think of how you would handle any kind of maintenence for something as massive as lemmy.world, and it makes my brain hurt. Frick.

Best of luck with the upgrade tomorrow, gang!

Lol that’s a blast from the past. Unfortunately the site has SSL issues, so it’s a hard pass for me.
