I currently use Jellyfin to stream my music collection. It’s all stored on my NAS and I can give access to whomever I like. Downside is that the iOS music client, FinAmp, is… not pretty. It’s functional, but not great. I understand the player situation to be a bit better on the Android side.

Well, it’s happened once. It could happen again, although I suspect if we do have another civil war, there may not be many pieces left to pick up afterwards.

As often as not, I’m using nano on the command line. It’s available in Windows through WSL.

Being honest, WSL makes running Windows so much easier.

I really like micro. It’s like nano but with mouse support. Not much difference otherwise.

Ordinarily, I’d agree. I posted it because the last line in the article caught my attention. Apparently a cop was startled by the test and the officer’s first reaction was to go for their firearm.

“ At least one law enforcement officer appeared to reach for their weapon before the room relaxed with recognition of the scheduled test.”

Seriously LEOs, chill the fuck out!

Personally I use Nextcloud, but as you want local only, I have used Thunderbird. It’s fine. Cross platform, open source, remote to local sync. Basically, it ticks all the boxes for a calendar/agenda.

Thanks for that. I was wondering how a thousands or years old map had relevance to Thrawn in Ahsoka. That part was throwing me for a loop.

Yep! It should work in reverse too!

Currently living in Alabama, I really wish there wasn’t quite so much truth in this statement.

I’ll be honest, I had forgotten MySpace was a thing back then. Every single page I went to was gaudy as hell and took forever to load on my dial up connection at the time. I’m a little surprised they’re still around. And damn, it looks a lot different!

So I figured. I’m all for the 2nd Amendment, but the fear-mongering on both sides of the aisle really needs to stop.

Damn, that meme is cursed. I feel like I need to wash my eyes with bleach now.

In other, unrelated news, VPN’s are experiencing an unexpected spike in traffic. More at 5.

Not too hard. Just alot of unfamiliar vocabulary. 😄 If you run into any questions with either of our walk throughs, (my linux one or @[email protected] 's Powershell one), feel free to DM me. Don’t mind helping folks starting their exploration of computers. We all started somewhere.

Nice! I knew someone would know how to do this in PowerShell!

Just search for tutorials based on the key words from my post and you’ll get there.

I am sorry for the RTFM post though. Been a rough day and haven’t been able to get near a computer to do a better write up for you.

If you don’t have an experience using the command line then it’s a tad more involved then I can explain in-depth on mobile. Best I can do is give a brief outline.

To start with, wescode/lemmy_migrate is a python 3 script. If you are running windows install WSL (Ubuntu), once you have a command line I am familiar with you will want to download the repository from GitHub to a directory.

You will then need to create a config file called migrate.conf Use the sample provided in the repo under configuration. Edit it to use your information. You can use nano as a text editor.

Then it looks like the command would be something like:

python lemmy_migrate -c ./migrate.conf

Sorry if that is crap help, but I’m not near my computer right now, and don’t often use Windows anymore to boot.

PS:

WSL is a program from Microsoft that gives you a mostly functional Linux command line within Windows. None of this is as complicated as it sounds, I’m using more words then strictly necessary to explain things somewhat at beginner level. The most time consuming part of this would be first installing WSL and then installing Ubuntu onto WSL. There are plenty of tutorials on how to do so.

Hopefully someone more familiar with Windows can tell you how to do the same thing from either the DOS prompt or from Windows PowerShell. It’s doable, (almost anything is) I’m just not familiar enough with either to walk you through it.

Reddit apparently still hasn’t figured out the maxim “Don’t piss off the free help.” TANSTAFL.

I hope it meant arm yourself with knowledge, because what this nation does not need more of is scared folks with firearms. We’ve enough of those as is.

Sadly, I’m guessing not.
