They can, but it’s not trivial. The challenge uses a bunch of modern browser features that these scrapers don’t use, regarding metadata and compression and a few other things. Things that are annoying to implement and not worth the effort. Check the recent discussion on lobste.rs if you’re interested in the exact details.

Fair enough! The disadvantage is that, as opposed to Dropbox and similar, I have go into a file at the root of the synced folder, rather than keeping that config near to where itcs relevant.

Thanks for the names!

That’s… a very good idea. I should do that anyway.

Forgejo for projects and syncthing for data is probably perfect, thank you!

I tried with both, but I didn’t figure out how if such an option exists. I did manage to do the opposite (keeping files uploaded but not having them locally), both with and without VFS (with VFS it’s in a context menu in nautilus, without it’s in the desktop app).

it does! I use it to sync my music, but I feel like it’s not the right tool for the job here.

I don’t want to “have the folders connected”, I want to have the ability to sync files easily, while excluding specific folders and files.

I have. It hasn’t worked very well for me, the docs weren’t great (though I’m looking at them now and they do seem better?) and it broke in strange ways.

If you haven’t already, try out KDE’s Krita. Incredible piece of software, much better for drawing imo

Ngl that link puts me slightly off. It reads exactly like what people booted for very good reasons say

The following paragraph shows how so-called cancel culture was used weaponising […]

And in the email, Mozilla talks about him violating their “inclusivity” policy… we also don’t know what was reported, only the reasons stated.

Not saying that it wasn’t unjust, just that we only have 1 perspective and it’s written in a way that raises some red flags.

“The transgender topic” is already weird as a statement (kinda like “the gay agenda”, it comes off as only considering it as a political statement?), and “clearly promoted by the bourgeoisie” implies it’s bad.

“As far as […] lgbt flags on government buildings”: it’s… not far at all? Again, weird statement.

“Biological male” is both wrong for the boxer (she’s cis) and generally used for transphobia (trans women on HRT aren’t biological males by any reasonable definition). It’s also generally conspiratorial.

Overall it’s not explicitly transphobic or bad to me, but it shows at minimum a very misinformed perspective.

I’m not an OS dev, I have no idea how stuff this low-level works.

I’d suggest some kind of “press this key to view debug information” text (or make it documented but not visible, to avoid people just pressing whatever button is written on the screen)

It completely breaks them, currently: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11139

This applies to at least NewPipe and yt-dlp, probably basically every such tool. Also, if you use logged-in cookies and download, they sometimes ban your account! Fun!

… which is why youtube has recently started blocking non-logged in users

Just to offer some support, you’re right and those are good questions

For syntax highlighting, it’ll soon be possible (might already be?) to add syntax highlighting languages yourself

To be honest, I don’t think it’s worth the bother. This is just an i3-5 something, and I got all the working parts off of it. But it’s good a good idea, thanks!

Well, I fully disassembled it, and I’ve found some components that are heating up a lot and probably making the buzzing noise.

However I have no idea what they are, if they’re the problem or some connected component. The label doesn’t return anything, so I think this 'uns a goner :(

Thank you! I’m not gonna try and fix the box itself, but somebody suggested it might be the power supply.

I… don’t know why I didn’t think of that. I’ll have to check if I have another.

Yes, it’s laptop RAM
