Third party launchers do exist, yes, but normally you’d have to use Epic’s launcher. That’s what they’re counting on, anyway.

You would ordinarily have to use their launcher, but third party launchers do exist.

You can claim them, sure. But you’ll need their launcher when you want to play them.

I really like that movie. But watch the directors cut, for the love of all that’s good! It removed the narration at the beginning that gave away the whole plot. Much better that way.

Just watched The Gorge (2025) recently. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad film, but it was really mediocre.

I love the premise of having the two guard towers, one on each side of a mysterious and foggy gorge, not supposed to communicate with each other, guarding us all from whatever is down there. People have previously gone in but never come out. Strange monsters sometimes attempt the climb up the cliff walls. Is it the gate to hell? What’s the story behind it all? Chemistry slowly happens between the guards of the two towers.

(If you think you might enjoy this movie, don’t read my spoilers. Just watch it. I liked it even though it was a bit disappointing.)

People were very quick to declare it gone for good.

Help a guy out who doesn’t know all acronyms ever made…

• They’re still using the legacy program rcp to remotely receive files on Unix systems?

• They’re switching to reinforced concrete pipes?

• They’re using rapid control prototyping?

• They’re hiring respiratory care practitioners?

• They’re entering the reactor coolant pump market?

• They’re affiliated with the Russian Communist Party?

Same for me, and I use the button in my quick settings as well.

Not the person you asked, but my Jellyfin is only exposed through my reverse proxy (nothing else forwarded), and I simply put Authelia in front of Jellyfin in the reverse proxy using forward_auth (not using OAuth to integrate with Jellyfin!), and that means that you have to be authenticated for any request on my jellyfin subdomain to be able to reach my Jellyfin server at all. Probably means I can’t connect via the app remotely, only via browser, but then I can just use my VPN and connect directly to the local IP.

It’s a huuuugely popular CMS used on around 40% of all websites on the internet, and it has around 70,000 plugins available of varying quality. Most exploits are from badly written plugins.

OH. MY. GOD. How did I not know there’s a Old Reddit style interface included in Lemmy???

Targeting Taiwanese, Tibetans and Uyghurs, you say? I bet it was really difficult to figure out who’s behind it.

Thanks!

I host my own Tiny Tiny RSS (TT-RSS), but I’ve used the public instance of CommaFeed too, many years ago, before I started selfhosting.

I really like TT-RSS, especially with my own theme I made, but the container image I’m using now is outdated and has some problems, and if I want to upgrade I’ll have to switch image to the official one, and I won’t be able to simply migrate my data over, as TT-RSS has since dropped support for MySQL completely, so I’m considering just hosting Commafeed instead (since I have to start fresh anyway).

I prefer RSS readers that feel a bit like Google Reader (R.I.P. - Gone but not forgotten)

Forward this to Alanis Morissette, because that’s ironic…

Background playback used to be a thing in the official app, but then they obviously couldn’t get as many people to pay for YouTube Music or YouTube Premium or whatever.

You can’t even buy working batteries for a most of the old phones I have in my drawer.

The idea is nice, but such a government program would either end up just shipping tons of broken electronics to third world countries, or spending more money testing old electronics compared to what it would cost to buy new cheap feature phones for people in those third world countries.

Learn how to use Docker. That’s gonna be a big help.

It’s a whole ordeal to get set up. There’s some plugins for Calibre, I believe one is called NoDRM and os is called De-DRM. Can’t remember which one I’m using or what the differences are.

From Google Play Books you can download the encrypted books (from the website on PC). You are supposed to use Adobe Digital Editions with your Google login to be able to read the encrypted/DRM-protected books on your PC. When you’ve set up Adobe Digital Editions, you can find a key file somewhere (can’t remember the location, you should be able to Google that) which you can use together with one of the plugins in Calibre. And that should normally be it.

That didn’t work for me though. So I found some other third party DRM removal tool, in which I logged in with my Google/Adobe Digital Editions account. It could then decrypt the books, but more importantly, it also made a key file somewhere, which i WAS able to use in Calibre. So now, with that key file, I can just drag the encrypted books directly into Calibre, and it decrypts them just fine.

It’s been several years, so I’ve probably forgotten or misremembered some details.

EDIT: By the way, there seems to be a time limit on decrypting the downloaded books, so download them from Google and decrypt them withing relatively short time (a few hours maybe, not sure). Don’t think you can just decrypt them whenever in the future.
