Help connecting on IPhone
  • Ok. So you’re definitely not trying to use 127.0.0.1 remotely.

    So on your phone’s web browser ( using the same WiFi ) if you visit http://<ip of mint system>:8096 and nothing happens then it’s the firewall on the mint system. You would need to allow ports 8096/8097.


    I’ve never used Linux mint, but if it’s Debian based then it might be using UFW firewall.

    First, check that if firewall is running. Open a terminal and type:

    sudo ufw status
    

    Step 2: Open ports 8096 and 8097

    To allow traffic through ports 8096 and 8097, use the following commands:

    sudo ufw allow 8096/tcp
    sudo ufw allow 8097/tcp
    

    This opens both ports for TCP traffic. If you also want to open the ports for UDP traffic, you can use:

    sudo ufw allow 8096/udp
    sudo ufw allow 8097/udp
    

    Step 3: Verify the rules

    Once you’ve added the rules, you can check the firewall status to verify the changes:

    sudo ufw status
    

    You should see entries for ports 8096 and 8097 allowing TCP (and/or UDP) traffic.

    Step 4: Reload firewall (if necessary)

    If the changes do not take effect immediately, you may reload the firewall using:

    sudo ufw reload
    

    Now, the firewall should allow traffic through ports 8096 and 8097.

  • Ok. What address are you using when trying access the server on your phone or Jellyfin client?

    Edit: An address like this http://127.0.0.1:8096 or this http://<ip address of Linux mint system>:8096/

  • How? Like http://<ip of mint>:8096 in a web browser? On the same system running the server or is this a separate computer?

  • How do you know the server is worker fine? How are you accessing it to know that?

    E:

    Do you have a firewall running on your mint installation? If so have you allowed the ports (8096/8097)

    Can you access the web client on the Mint installation http://<ip of mint>:8096

    Can you use that same address on your phone / another computer to access it?

    FYI If you’re using 127.0.0.1 that will not work on your phone or any client that’s not running the Jellyfin server.

    When you use the Jellyfin app which server address are you putting in?

    I've just been introduced to Taco Bell. What should I be trying?
  • don’t act like taco bell is somehow the first chain to give someone food poisoning.

    It’s one of the only chains with that reputation. It’s kinda of weird to brag about liking it so much but hey, you do you.

  • If you’re still eating from there, then it shouldn’t be long now.

    I joke, but not really. You have to ask yourself, how is it possible that a little chicken, lettuce tomatoes with some sauce on a “tortillas” can make so many people sick.

    Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive”
  • Which is unfortunate. Hiding projects, code and support behind discord is just wrong.

    There are Linux and open source communities on discord. I mean, just think about that for a second. These people have chosen to put their stuff on a platform that has refused to acknowledge the existence of their OS / development platform. Every other post on Reddit in the Linux community before I left was about some half assed discord workaround.

    When will we ever get the option for a custom search engine? (Safari)
  • I’m not saying it’s the right way, but I thought this had been possible for quite some time by using a safari extension like https://apps.apple.com/us/app/customize-search-engine/id6445840140

    Wroom 32 + Core1262-868M
  • UPDATE:
    I was able to create my own variant under DYI. I took a look at the ai-c3 ( Core1262-868M ) and DIY v1_1 (esp32doit-devkit-v1) variant and combined them into a working configuration.

    I'm going to call this new variant of the firmware, "aspec". Simply because when I first found out about this project, I assumed the SX1262 Core1262-868M and wroom-32 would just work out of the box with one of the million firmware variants available. "Amazon Special" ( aspec )

    I also have a GPS that I'd like to add, so I'm going to keep playing around before I submit anything to the metastatic firmware repo.

  • I read through the Meshtastic firmware code and found the file variant.h for the Meshtastic-DIY-v1_1 build. Notice it’s not the DIY-v1. Instead v1_1. My understanding from that file is that I should be able to wire the following:

    ESP32 WROOM-32 dev Pin,Core1262-868M Pin,Function

    ``` 3V3,VCC,Power (3.3V)

    GND,GND,Ground

    18,SCK,SPI Clock

    19,MISO,SPI Data In

    23,MOSI,SPI Data Out

    5,CS,SPI Chip Select

    33,DIO1,LoRa IRQ

    32,DIO2,LoRa BUSY

    27,RESET,LoRa Reset

    14,RXEN,RF switch RX control

    13,TXEN,RF switch TX control ```

    ---

    Unfortunately after building out the DIY_v1_1 firmware, wiring it up and flashing it I get thrown into a boot loop only after setting the region.

    I will provide logs once I’m able to do so, just wanted to submit this while I had time. I’m curious if I was misunderstanding the compatibility with a Core1262-868M or if anyone has any tips. Thanks.

    Update : I have it working

    I've just created a GUI for a journal viewer
  • Thanks for sharing!

    While there are existing tools like journal-viewer (https://github.com/mingue/journal-viewer), which uses WebKit, I found that its GUI doesn’t integrate well with the Qt/Plasma ecosystem.

    I was going to bring that up. I’ve never heard of journal-viewer, but I have used:

    • GNOME Logs
    • KSystemLog
    • QJournalctl

    You mentioned specifically integrating well into QtPlasma, what improvements do you hope to have over the native KDE KSystemLog?

    Neil Young gives Tim Walz permission for his song – after he sued Trump for using it
  • This thread is about whether or not Walz was aware of the lyrics of a Neil Young song. Being a fan of The Grateful Dead added to the discussion.

    Walz seems like a respectable person. We will see how that plays out. Charles Manson and Mark Chapman were obsessed with Beatles, but I don’t associate them to everyone else who enjoys their music. So I’m not really clear on the point being made here.

    Is there such a thing as a bullshit-free news agency?
  • It’s funny how often this is brought up and how the answer is that’s it’s been solved since nearly the begging of the web.

    I’ve been using an RSS manager / server for decades! Right now it’s FreshRSS as the server and using Lire as a client on iOS. There’s arguably no better way to consume content.

  • It seems that the commenter’s intention was clear to everyone except you. The commenter acknowledged the need for RAID software or a specific file system, mentioning that it had already been addressed. Understood the budget and OP being an newb.

    Although their tone may have been blunt, they stayed focused on their original point.

    But you just kept nagging. lol

    Either way OP was helped and now you can sleep knowing you did your part. A true internet hero.

    How I got HDR working on Linux with an Nvidia GPU
  • I was finally able to fix the washed out issue when enabling HDR.

    Turns out my TV has known HDR issues with devices like the AppleTV Apple Discussion I reset the picture to default. Opened the picture menu where it displays the signal. Enabled HDR on the Display Configuration and this time instead of washed out, it was an actual proper HDR desktop.

    I deleted YouTube's video recommendations and it's already changing my life
  • This is why I self host invidious. I enjoy YouTube content, but I want a clean, targeted experience when viewing videos.

    This is also why I self host FreshRSS and use a client like Lire. I want clean and targeted news feeds.

    This is why I haven’t had cable in 20 years and self hosted my own videos by legally purchasing dvds/blurays and ripping them. ( later adding ad free subscriptions ). I hate commercials with a passion and refuse to experience them ever again.

    All of this has allowed me to have a very controlled experience and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

  • The most useless calendar widget is made by Apple. I constantly forget that someone’s birthday or something important is coming up later in the week.

    Now I understand that you can set up alerts and you can set up reminders for stuff. I also understand that you can choose a different size widget. But depending on the size and the amount of events it’s possible it won’t even show you what’s going on the next day in the larger widget as well.

    This is forced me to use third-party widgets to display calendar events for the week on my home screen. I hate it because I have no idea if it’s stealing my data.

    Bonus Edit! The large widget fails to show you what’s happening today!

    It feels like more Lemmy apps are going to make their way on to the app stores. With more apps, comes more people. More people, more API calls. How do we scale this server and hopefully all of the others to come, financially?

    There are some REALLY interesting Podcast 2.0 features in the works. Especially using “value4value” and “boosting” as a way for listeners to tip their favorite podcasts and fund them directly. I wonder if somehow we can learn from it?

    For those who do not know, hopefully these Podcasting 2.0 features will help podcasters continue to thrive in world where companies like Spotify and Amazon have decided to destroy our incredible open and free podcast networks by making “exclusives” and putting them behind paywalls that don’t follow the open standards.

    I’d really love to integrate Podcasting 2.0 RSS and the fediverse. How cool would it be if every podcast episode just had its own place in the fediverse with a place to chat and it all worked together somehow automatically.

    I dunno. Just a thought.
