Uhm this could be a good workaround, I'll look into it, thanks! It would solve the movies problem, but not any other screen sharing problem

Thank you!

I already have a jellyfin instance, but syncplay didn't works very reliably for me, some users experienced freezing, jumps and other problems

Thanks for the suggestion anyway!

It would be just me sharing to everybody else on the internet (no more than 6 people)

Jitsi meet works great, the only problem is being able to share only "a portion" of what it currently does

I think the problem is not something related to jitsi, meet, discord or matrix, but rather to the OS screensharing capabilities

Hello guys! sometimes I watch movies with friends over jitsi meet, and in order to share just a single window with just its own audio I use chromium, that has the "share tab" option. However, I'd like a more general solution (I cannot play mkv files on browser, for example). I'd like a compact way that creates a virtual device sharing the window (even if the window gets minimized or hidden behind other windows!) and its audio, without the audio of all other windows (I don't want my notification sounds to be shared too). a quick online search gave me only "complex" answers, that I'll try only if a more convenient way is not available.

[I'm running EndeavourOS KDE Wayland]

Thank to everyone in advance!

I downloaded it and tried to run it, but it gets stuck in a loop and I don't know how it could be fixed:

error: max_recursion_depth exceeded
error: called from
    baseUnitSystem
    <unknown>

it seems the problem is in the line

coreUnits = buildCoreUnits(u.baseUnitSystem);

in the file u.m, I think because u.baseUnitSystem tries to "call itself". I don't know what this should be supposed to do, and have no idea on how to possibly fix it :(

This looks very VERY promising! I'll try to install it tomorrow and Post here the results! Thanks?

It looks interesting, but more focused on conversions than actual operations it seems:

octave:37> a.value = 100
a =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    value = 100
    unit = W

octave:38> a.unit = 'W'
a =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    value = 100
    unit = W

octave:39> b.value = 3
b =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    value = 3
    unit = s

octave:40> b.unit = 's'
b =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    value = 3
    unit = s

octave:41> a*b
error: binary operator '*' not implemented for 'scalar struct' by 'scalar struct' operations

automatically no, but perhaps there's a way to replace it. If there's a way to check if a variable is "divisible by another symbolic one" then it would be not so hard to implement this behavior

Hello! In qalc I can do calculations using measuring units like this:

> 5 W * 3 s

  (5 watts) × (3 seconds) = 15 J

I'd like to be able to do something similar also in GNU Octave. I think the symbolic library could be a place to look at, but I found nothing "already done". Do any of you know of a way to achieve this functionality?

Is this real or just a meme?

Other answer seems to suggest that the problem is that the same podcast can be available, depending on where and who is listening to it, with different length due to different ads injected into. Here's my probably stupid and completely ignorant suggestion: instead of using timestamps for both begin and end of the ads segment, you could use a timestamp for the beginning, and an hash of the first part of "non-ads" segment. I'll try to explain better:

|----------------xxxxx--------------------|
                ^     |___|

The xxx is the ads segment, the ^ is the timestamp of the beginning of the ads, the |___| is a small duration segment (for example, 0.5 seconds) right after the ads segment. The data of that segment is hashed and used as "end ads segment indicator".

On the other device, with a different duration of the ads, you should start hashing it to find the corresponding segment.

Is this doable or did I just said a bunch of idiot things?

Hello! I'm still not satisfied with my note taking app. I tried dozen of them, read tons of lists on random blogs on the internet, without any success. I'll try to ask you then.

I'm looking for a note taking app with just this 3 features:

  • richtext/WYSIWYG (i don't want to write plain text and then press a button to see it rendered)
  • it has to support CHECKBOXES! Most of the apps I tried does not support them, or supported them only if all the note was a checklist. I don't want a checklist, I want a note where I can put some checkbox inside!
  • FOSS and active

The one I'm currently using is obsidian, but it's not FOSS and it feels very overcomplicated for a simple note apps.

Any suggestion is welcome!

EDIT: forgot to mention, I'm talking about Android XD

Hello there! I wrote today this tiny js script to export my watchlater playlist to a json file in order to import it into piped, as Youtube does not want you to do this for mysterious reasons. Sharing if anybody is in need!

https://codeberg.org/tubbadu/youtube-watchlater-playlist-to-piped-exporter

DisclaimerThe procedure includes pasting js code into the browser's console. This is usually NOT recommended, as it may expose security vulnerabilities and do really bad things. Use this tool at your own risk. I pinky promise it is not malicious ;)

Hello! I have a 2in1 reversible tablet with touchscreen and stylus, running fedora. My laptop runs EndeavourOS. both with wayland session.
I'd like to use my tablet as input method, in order to use the stylus on my laptop. I tried Weylus, and it is great for screen mirroring and casual clicks, but using the stylus (perhaps it's my wifi's fault) was way too laggy, almost unusable. Are there other tools, similar to this, that perhaps work with a usb cable or something like this? in order to speed things up. My tablet is very potato-ish, very slow at running apps and so, but once the apps are loaded they works fluently. both the laptop and the tablet runs KDE.

thanks in advance!

Hello fellow lemmings! I'm designing a customized deck of cards as a present for a friend of mine. When finished, I'd like to print it by myself, because online print services would cost way too much for a single deck of cards. I'd like the cards to be robust and durable, and to be easy to shuffle. Is there a particular type of paper that you recommend? Or something to apply afterward? I'm thinking of plasticizing the cards after the print process, but I don't know how well it would come out. Any idea is welcome!

Foss OSM-based navigator (lemmy.kde.social)
submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hello! I'm looking for a foss navigator app for my android device, but all navigator apps I've tried (OSMand, organic map) are missing a feature: when I calculate the route from point A to point B, on Google Maps a few possible routes are displayed, and then I chose the one I prefer; on other apps only one possible route is displayed, and if for any motivation I don't want to pass from a certain street or something like this, I have no other options. Is there an app (or a way on these apps) to make it calculate a few possible routes instead of just one?

thanks in advance!

Hello! I'm trying to import my youtube "watch later" playlist into my piped account on piped.yt. I extracted the videos links with this js script:

let p = [];
document.querySelectorAll("ytd-playlist-video-renderer a.yt-simple-endpoint").forEach(v => {
	if(v.href.includes("/watch?v=") && !p.includes(v.href)){
		p.push(v.href.split('&list=')[0]);
	}
})
console.log('"' + p.join('","') + '"');

I then created a dummy playlist on piped and exported it as json, in order to modify it to add my videos. this is how it looks like:

{"format":"Piped","version":1,"playlists":[{"name":"WatchLater","type":"playlist","visibility":"private","videos":["https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=somethinghere","https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=somethingheretoo"]}]}

and I replaced the videos list between [ ] with the output of the script, making sure that all quotation marks are closed. I then imported the file and.... the playlist created has 0 videos. why? am I doing something wrong?

Hello! I'm looking for a foss weather app for android, so I went ahead to f-droid and tried a bunch of them, but didn't find any that fully satisfies me: I want to be able to see the hourly forecast of any day of the week, not just the "global" forecast, and I want the weather service used not to require a credit card (openweathermap.org for example requires the credit card to get an API key). Geometric Weather is the one that I'm currently using, with open-meteo as provider, but sadly it displays hourly forecasts only for the current day, but not for other days.

Do you have any suggestion? Thanks in advance!
