What are in your opinion "essential" android apps that aren't as popular/talked about? by Schnaftator in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

The link preview is totally broken for me. So I wanted to shout WHAT DID YOU SWITCH TO, DENVERCODER9??? But in the reply UI I see now the link text, and it's Termius.

I switched from termux to ConnectBot, fwiw.

"Gnaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" beginnt, in mir etwas auszulösen. Allerdings Hut ab, immer die gleiche Anzahl As zu benutzen.

The highlighted region is well readable though!

Thanks to BookWyrm I know that OpenLibrary exists. :)

At the moment I tend to view OpenLibrary as the canonical information source. Fair enough, then I have to answer the question for myself whether I actually need the discussion features that BookWyrm adds.

With the decline of twitter and reddit, it's time to take a look at RSS again if you haven't already. by Schnaftator in c/technology@beehaw.org

Wow, your comment took me down a rabbit hole. I now too self-host FreshRSS on my NAS using Docker. And, oh boy, this is so good!

BookWyrm vs. OpenLibrary (lemmy.sdf.org)

I believe there are some BookWyrm users here, that's why I'm trying to (mis)use this community as a support forum.

In the latest Fediverse rush I've created a BookWyrm account and imported my GoodReads data. Some of the books in my library are pretty niche, had to be imported from OpenLibrary and don't have a cover picture. So I made a cover photo for one of them and uploaded it to BookWyrm and OpenLibrary.

Now I'm wondering... Is book data entered into BookWyrm contributed back to OpenLibrary? Does anyone use OpenLibrary? OpenLibrary seems to offer pretty much what BookWyrm offers sans the federation. Still, it seems like a good and open project, and being hosted by archive.org and having been co-created by Aaron Swartz. Now I'm on the fence what to use. :-)

Hi! I've been mostly a lurker on reddit, apart from a few niche communities, and I'm part of the current migration wave. So far, I really like it in lemmyland. Gives me kind of Usenet vibes.

Why this instance? Well, first of all, it was recommended on ~~join-lemmy.org~~ awesome-lemmy-instances. But I stumbled over SDF before, and it provides this warm feeling of the ancient days of dialup UUCP, so why not. :)

Edit: fixed where SDF Chatter was recommended.

I've always found solarized themes nice to look at from afar but way too low contrast to actually work with them. Some of the ef-themes remind me of solarized with improved contrast.

Is it possible to let xwidget-webkit-browse-url use a socks proxy? by Schnaftator in c/emacs@lemmy.ml

[-] Schnaftator@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

There's the customization option url-proxy-services https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/url/Proxies.html

Does setting this help?

I wonder whether the texts are moderated. Nothing remotely offensive shows up.

I'm not complaining! :)
