overview for floppy

I was having an email conversation with Stoo Cambridge, and he mentioned that he was having trouble making his Linux machine display thumbnails of Amiga IFF/ILBM files. It turns out I have a solution for him, so I am sharing it here to help anyone else.

Does anyone run a tuner into a server and stream the video around the house? in c/dtt@feddit.uk

Have a look at TVHeadEnd, I think that does what you want.

The Kbin Experience. The Best Worst Way to Interact with the Fediverse. in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

That is running the official API - it just hasn't been approved/merged yet, so other instances don't have it.

Yeah, the way it works with groups is not great. There are news feeds on Mastodon which are probably a better option to follow from there.

I assume you're following from Mastodon? Unfortunately that's how Mastodon works with groups - you see boosts of every single comment on your feed.

You're better off with a Lemmy or Kbin account if you want to follow groups.

(and for the sake of clarity, this news account you're following isn't a bot - it's a group)

Block instance message incorrect in c/lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca

And, actually, I don't think it's working as I'm still seeing users from that instance in my feed.

Yes, rebuild the Crooked House brick by brick – and buttress local planning, too in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

Pretty obvious that was the case, but good to have it confirmed.

100% they didn't want it there, but it had to look like an accident.

What is a good FOSS email app in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

[–] floppy@rabbitea.rs 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I used to use K9 long time ago, but had issues with notifications not working properly. I've been using something not FOSS which was OK but I wasn't 100% happy with. After reading about FairEmail on another thread the other day, I've now adopted that and so far it is working great. It has way too many options though!

Florence + The Machine are ace 🧡

Instead of movies and crappy games on those in-flight displays, they should just stream the view out the cockpit window. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Some have maps which I enjoy watching. When you can't see the land below you can at least see which random tiny islands you are flying over.

UK gov keeps repeating its voter registration website is NOT a scam in c/cybersecurity@lemmy.capebreton.social

Even a "go to blahblah.gov.uk" which then redirects to householdresponse would be an improvement.

Today's my birthday and the only happy birthday I got was an automated email from my work. I'll also be spending the day all by myself... Feeling so lonely rn. in c/casualconversation@lemmy.world

Happy birthday! Do something you enjoy and/or treat yourself to something frivolous.

Crooked House rebuild would be ‘very complicated and costly endeavour’ in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

[–] floppy@rabbitea.rs 19 points 2 years ago

"Very complicated and costly endeavour". Make them do it. They need to be taught that "ooh, it seems to have caught fire after some dirt heaps appear to have fallen onto the access road" and "oh dear, the contractor got confused and knocked the whole thing down instead of just the unsafe bit", are not acceptable practices. They'll have to spend a large amount of time and money and will end up with still have a building on their land that they don't want there. Do it.
