Sebastian Steck, a software developer based in Germany, has obtained the source code and library installation scripts for his AVM FRITZ!Box 4020 router, thanks to a lawsuit funded by the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC).

in reply to Peter Link

So basically their software is real open-source now and we can just compile stuff for their devices, without flashing OpenWrt etc? Can those be bought outside of Germany? I've never heard of it
in reply to Peter Link

Is it only for this specific model? Where can O find the source code?


I would be waiting here all day 😭😭💀💀

Please please talk, set a price higher than he can pay (like 2 dollars and 21 cents), then try not to laugh while everyone does

Pretty much...

Especially when you comment anything remotely social or political. The mouth breathers clamor to project their personal war on the nearest comment that vaguely resembles some words they can latch on to.

[Consiglio] VPS con poche pretese


Ciao a tutti, vorrei giocare con snac, un server fediverso estremamente poco avido di risorse.

Vorrei provarlo su un vps senza spendere troppo, tanto le risorse necessarie sono minime (fedimeteo gira su un vps, diviso in 25 istanze snac, e prende meno di 300 MB di ram -> mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/113… )

Avete consigli?

in reply to suoko

in realtà @skariko mi ha parlato di #Kagi, un motore di ricerca a pagamento, che ha tra l'opzione per effettuare ricerche tra i forum del fediverso lemmy e kbin.

Non so però se disponga di opzioni più generali per ricercare all'interno di istanze non Lemmy

@lgsp

in reply to informapirata ⁂

su Kagi puoi creare filtri automatici da usare per la ricerca impostando domini predefiniti. Loro hanno creato un filtro per tutti chiamato "fediverso/lemmy" dove semplicemente hanno inserito alcuni server Lemmy più famosi e conosciuti. Tu puoi crearti il filtro Mastodon (da far usare anche ad altri eventuale) con dentro server Mastodon predefiniti che scegli tu.

Non credo sia possibile creare filtri automatici esclusivi del fediverso d'altronde ogni dominio è diverso da un altro come li faresti a distinguere automaticamente?

in reply to Blaze (he/him)

That turned into a direct link at least from Mbin

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I think something in Lemmy's text editor does that sometimes.

in reply to FartsWithAnAccent

Yes, something to be solved between Mbin and Lemmy devs
in reply to Blaze (he/him)

I'm not so sure about the Mbin part, I've had it happen from my Lemmy account too. As far as I can tell, it suggests the direct link lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/yepowertrip… when you type !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you accept the autosuggest.

From what I've seen, if you ignore it and just type/paste the link and submit the comment, it doesn't happen.

in reply to FartsWithAnAccent

On Lemmy it works using the autosuggest, I'm pretty confident. Which instance are you using?
in reply to Blaze (he/him)

fedia.io (Mbin), but I've seen the formatting shenanigans happen on my posts made in lemmy.world too.
in reply to SatyrSack

I only blocked one guy and every time I see an unavailable comment and see the comments around, I remember why it was a good choice 👍


Epson ET-2815 on Linux - epson-printer-utility not recognizing the printer


reshared this

in reply to Hule

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this, and nothing happened. I think it might only work for the printers with an LCD-display? Mine does not have that (does yours?), and I remember reading somewhere that to do that hardcore cleaning (I can't recall what they called it), I would need to run it using either Windows or macOS.
in reply to cyberwolfie

Mine doesn't have a display (L3150), but you're right about the deep cleaning. You doo need the utility for that.

I got away with 4 consecutive cleaning rounds..

edit: I've seen the button combination in your printer's user manual.

of course I could have RTFM'd but it's really weird that it doesn't set DRM itself. so if you think you'll get any kind of sensible default on first boot ... well. nope you get nothing not even TTYs to fix it
in reply to petsoi

Wow, this is pretty good! I might have to finally ditch sway.


Pixelfed - No video preview image


When I upload a short video to Pixelfed, I don't get a preview image. The video is mp4 H.264. Is there a solution? I would find Pixelfed super as an Instagram replacement. But without a preview, it's not that nice. I gave an example as a link. What experiences do you have with pixelfed and videos?

Could this be due to the post visibility setting of your post, your account, or the server you're on? Or perhaps a synchronisation delay. I ask because...

Browsing that link in Firefox on Android shows me a preview?

When I view your profile with my Pixelfed account (using Moshidon on Android) shows no posts?

This could be an incompatibility in viewing Pixelfed API data - try a client which specifically lists Pixelfed support, such as Fedilab - their (stickbro) profile shows up fine for me in Fedilab, $0.02.

in reply to Stickbro

Your favourite search engine -> "pixelfed no video preview" -> several Github issues that are all closed, some with commits saying something was fixed, others just closed without resolution.

I experience this preview problem viewing videos posted both by Pixelfed uploads (such as yours) and videos posted via Mastodon instances which I follow in Pixelfed. There's something broken in Pixelfed software being able to generate video previews from several sources in my experience, which do not exist if you follow those same accounts from a Mastodon instance.
