Hey Linux devs - Build a GUI or gtfo
  • what command line options are you needing for audio? i use kubuntu, and the only reason i hit the CLI is to provide a special output so i can implement multiroom audio, with Snapcast.

    Otherwise, i think i could install most stuff without it. OO, maybe spotify needed to add an apt repo, however i think there maybe a seperate installer (snap?) which would negate that.

    i feel like you were not going for a vanilla instance if the latest kubuntu/ubuntu needed work.

  • First Full animal brain mapped in FlyWire

    I got an email update about this from EyeWire. what a fantastic piece of mapping and collaboration. Video give a really nice and quick overview of what it is all about.

    cheers

    -----------------------------------------------

    Eyewire's Mammal Mania! The first mammals lived in the shadows of the massive dinosaurs that ruled their age. However, after the K-ph extinction event that wiped out all non-flying dinos, mammals were ready for their time in the spotlight. The Cenozoic Era, also known as "The Age of Mammals" began 66 million years ago, and continues into the modern day!

    Around 6,400 mammalian species exist in today's world. Mammals come in all shapes and sizes, live on land and in water, and are our neighbors, pets, and even our families! Let's get wild during Mammal Mania, Eyewire's week-long competition event, beginning August 17th. See you there!

    !Fly Brain mapped in FlyWire

    FlyWire Preprint Paper Employing a technique similar to Eyewire, Seung Lab used AI to generate 3D reconstructions of neurons from a fly brain imaged via ultraresolution electron microscope. The generated cells were then inspected by scientists as well as some of Eyewire's top citizen scientists, with technological improvements requiring as little as 5-30 minutes to proofread each cell.

    This landmark neuroscience dataset is currently under peer review and an early access non-peer-reviewed version called a preprint is available here. If you prefer a video, here is an overview (the 127k proofread neurons have millions of attributes). Also check out the Connectome Awards where KrzysztofKruk and Nseraf both took home gold.

    The brain of Drosophila melanogaster may seem tiny, but its >100,000 neurons and tens of millions of synapses enable a fly to see, smell, hear, walk, and, of course, fly. Flies engage in dynamic social interactions, navigate over distances, and form long-term memories. Thanks to the help of an exceptional group of Eyewire Scythes and Mystics who transcended to Flyer status, the first ever whole adult animal brain has been mapped.

    For Fun, For Science!

    The Blind Side - Michael Oher and a conservativeship

    www.abc.net.au The man behind the Blind Side movie story sues parents for not really adopting him

    The former American football player says he was misled into signing documents that placed him under conservatorship instead of adoption and is asking to be paid money made off his story.

    The man behind the Blind Side movie story sues parents for not really adopting him

    I just saw this. My wife and I love this movie, and always excpected that it would stretch the truth a bit. Anyone know more about this, or have and insights to what it means (legally, morally, etc).

    Video Platform with "chapters" & "transcripts"

    Hi faithful selfhosters!

    I am looking for a solution that i can host, that will serve some tutorial and demo videos. But what it really needs is:

    • the ability to chop the video into chunks, and labels them with the topic. i think youtube calls them chapters?
    • Being able to upload the transcript, so that the content of the video is searchable too.

    I dont think i need to have the transcript timed to the video (i guess that would be subtitles!), but being able to use the transcript and chapters as a method of searching.

    I have looked at peertube, but i do not think it has that feature.

    cheers

    [advice] Hosting Matrix Server & Bridges

    Hi all,

    I want to host my own matrix server, so that i can run bridges to all the other (stupid) messaging apps.

    I am looking for any advice or experience in choosing which server to run, and if you know of any good tutorials, run throughs, etc. i typically would like a lighter instance, as i expect about 3 users, with 2 of us needing bridging.

    • dendrite
    • synapse
    • conduit
    • construct

    and then the addition of bridges, (Signal, WA, Messenger and hopefully SMS).

    I am fairly self sufficient when it comes to self hosting, and i run everything on linux, in docker, proxied by Nginx proxy manager. but typically prefer stuff that works more or less out of the box.

    Thanks all!

    Thoughts on Matrix for kids

    I have been trying to figure out a way that my son can have a messaging account, that doesn't track him and that we can limit who he has access to and who has access to him.

    What are you thoughts on matrix for kids?

    Are there any features available for that sort of control? I really only want him to be able to contact his family (and also indoctrinate him into matrix and open source young 😉)

    Share your contribution maps

    I saw a post on OpenStreetmap contributions on another comm, and was asked to post here. It would be really cool to see what people have contributed, and where!.

    I have been doing stuff on and off again for the last 13 years, and just installed street-complete thanks to a lemmy thread, i have just gone through and added a bunch of details to my suburb, and really want to start getting addresses added, so i can stop using gmaps so much!

    anyway, go to openstreetmaps.org, go to your profile and click "my edits. then try and load them all (unfortunately it is paginated).

    Then post a screenshot of your map.

    Self hosted Gyphy alternative

    i have just seen that gfycat is shutting down. i love sticking in a GIF, but would love a way to keep and categorise my gifs, and be able to embed/copy them into my banter.

    Anyone know of something that could do it?

    Dietpi as a hosting OS

    I am looking for some thoughts on using dietpi as a hosting OS.

    I am going to use proxmox as a hypervisor (simplify upgrades, IaC, backups etc) on a x86-64 arch. But am looking for the best OS to host on.

    I almost exclusively use docker to host the services.

    I stumbled across someone suggesting dietpi, and thought what a good idea, a really lightweight OS.

    what's peoples experiences using dietpi as a hosting os, outside of SBCs?

    per user blocking of entire instance

    I would like to be able to block full instances for a user. My example is to not see any content from lemmynsfw.com.

    Block individual communities is not practical as they will continue to make more and i will have a massive list to block and update.

    Note, i do not want to block ALL NSFW posts, i just know that the above one is porn, and i dont want that on this account

    Thanks!

    Use excess Solar to run your pool pump (Node-Red & Home Assistant)

    blog.grieve.com.au Solar Pool Pump - // TODO: Documentation

    I recently had solar panels installed and opted to use a SolarEdge hybrid inverter should batteries ever become worth installing (A savings of about $2.50 per day on electricity costs means they are very much not worth it yet). This system has the ability to hook up via Modbus over TCP to pull vario...

    I am in the process of building this in my system. I want to add a couple of extra features. such as minimum run time, the ability to run a few minutes each hour over night (for skimming) and some other bits an pieces.

    Parcel Tracker

    Hey all, i am looking for a parcel tracking app that can regularly watch a parcel number, and send updates out.

    I would prefer it to land in home assistant, but happy to do some work in Node-red to make that a reality.

    is there anything out there? i tried looking in awesome-selfhosted but could not find anything.
