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.

Brother has got balls of steel balancing on the roof of Pele’s house like that. Oh, I just realized this was shit over a decade ago… er, I’d imagine this kind of photographyis done with drones now?

Colour Out of Space does have scenes of body horror, btw. Great movie, but yeah, disturbing body horror.

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.

PT stands for “physical therapy.” They’re trying to improve or regain mobility, likely lost due to injury.

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!

Usernameblankface@lemmy.world, there’s !pocketknife@lemmy.world (aka https://lemmy.world/c/pocketknife). It’s not super duper active, but some of the regulars there might have whetstone recommendations for you.

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.

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

I set up a Snap server in the DMZ with FTPS for customers to drop their files because I didn’t want to deal with that shit.

Lol you were ahead of your time! I’m sure they appreciated not having to FedEx it or drop it off themselves.

Zip drives were a must have for graphic design students in its heyday. They were relatively affordable (around $150 USD for the drive, $10 per disk iirc) and had a capacity of 100 Megabytes per disk, which was sorta shitty for removable storage even then but good enough for design project assets. There was little else commercially available at the time that was affordable and allowed you to easily port files between home/work/school, so they were everywhere in certain circles in the late 90s, particularly in design.

They were flimsy and unfortunately kinda unreliable, though, so if you heard the dreaded “click of death,” it meant your disk was hosed. They eventually started selling 250 MB drives, and I remember there was the “Jaz” drive whose disks could hold 1 GB, but by then I think people were just done with Iomega’s shit. I didn’t know anyone that owned a frickin Jaz drive. When USB thumb drives became a thing around the turn of the millennium, Zip drives pretty much disappeared overnight. Good fuckin riddance, they sucked.
