Sometimes automated updates are not desirable. I also prefer the simplicity of a bash script over a full container.

If you decide to use docker-compose.yml files, which I do recommend, then I’d also highly recommend this script for updating the docker containers.
It checks each container for updates and then let’s you select the containers you would like to update. I just keep it in the main directory with all the other docker container directories.
For those that don’t know, you can use three numbers, zero through eight, with the chmod command. it takes the binary of each digit to set the permissions.
$ chmod 644
6 | 4 | 4
110 | 100 | 100
rw- | r-- | r--
The developer has hit a bit of a roadblock reworking a back-end system and is requesting help, but it has a great feature set already and is super customisable.
After your alarm goes off… You turn it off.
I’ve really fallen in love with the Aves gallery app. It’s finally got me started with organising and tagging my photos.
You can also make this the default behaviour as you start typing a command.
Create ~/.inputrc and add these lines:
$include /etc/inputrc
## arrow up
"\e[A":history-search-backward
## arrow down
"\e[B":history-search-forward```
For actually getting torrents loaded into the client software, there’s basically no difference. They both contain the information needed to start downloading the content.
A torrent file just has the information needed to start the download, kind of like a text file.
A magnet link is similar to any other link, like http://example.com/SomeFile.torrent
. They’re a bit more complicated because the website example.com
might remove or change the location of SomeFile.torrent
and then any of the existing links won’t work. Magnet links aren’t affected by that sort of thing. I say this with the caveat that I honestly don’t really know or understand them fully because, like I first said, it doesn’t really matter.
I can’t speak for the Windows side as I’m one of those Linux users. But the ones I mentioned are ones I know off the top of my head because I see them mentioned often.
Yes, thank you. I was going to explain that as well but asl owanted to keep it as basic and simple as possible. Honestly, I can’t recall the last time I actually alsaved and opened a torrent file, I’ve always used magnet links.
If your computer doesn’t automatically open a magnet link when you click on it (usually you’ll just see a 🧲 that you can click on), you should be able to right click that icon to copy the link. Often the client will have an option to enter the magnet link when you select File>Open.
I good example that’s completely legal is Linux distributions. They are licensed in a way that lets you share the file with other people so there is no risk of illegal activity.
You need torrent software installed that can speak the language of the torrenting protocol. Examples would be QBitTorrent, Transmission, and uTorrent, but there are others as well.
For the general process, you would download and install torrenting software, then you would go to a page that has torrent files (like this Ubuntu page), save the .torrent
file and then from the software open that file, this will begin the download. Once it’s done, you have a full copy of the files on your computer.
The only thing unique about torrents is that you are downloading parts of the file from a bunch of other people that have a copy, instead of downloading the whole file from just one single server.
I have no personal experience with it but I see Nobara mentioned often, especially in regards to the Microsoft Surface Tablets. Hopefully someone else with more experience can chime in on it.
Good news! Sh.itjust.works!
This is the first I’m hearing of timeshift. I will be looking into this.
As a seperate note, you can click the Instances
button at the bottom of the page to see the other instances that are being federated and being blocked by the instance you’re on.
So you can already kinda see how the different instances differ.
They all for the most part run the same server which means they will all look the same. The difference then comes down to how they will manage the server and moderate the users.
I can’t give specifics between lemm.ee and lemmy.world because I haven’t really seen much from the admins. I know Ruud, the admin of lemmy.world, also hosts large instances of other federated platforms like Mastodon, so it can be assumed they are experienced with hosting and there will likely be limited service interruptions that other instances may face.
One instance may be more relaxed with controversial topics and not block them from happening, one may want to defedare with certain instances because they simply don’t agree with their viewpoint even if others may be interested in hear from other viewpoints, one instance may not want to update to the latest Lemmy version right away which means things might be slow or not work as well until they do update.
I’m sorry if you are looking for the actual specific difference between lemmy.world and lemm.ee, but ideally the administration of an instance should be transparent to you.
Yes, you can find those options under Sort Type
in your profile settings if you’re using the web version. I’m sure each of the apps has that option as well.
It’s understandable to be confused. The easiest way to wrap your head around it is to think of it like the difference between Gmail and Hotmail, they both have the same purpose and do the same thing (showing you emails) but they are on different servers run by different people.
Lemmy.ml – lemmy.world – lemm.ee – etc.
They are all servers that connect together. Some posts, pictures, and profiles are saved to one server, some are saved on another. All of that is accessible between all of them.
Oh, it’s a fantastic skit and I still find it hilarious.
It’s just annoying when the punchline was posted to literally anything that’s broken.
