What a funny statement. "More power to them" while it won't do anything because they dont have the power to prevent facebook doing what its doing so its just making them feel better.

Never owned leather shoes an all of them had a "break in period". Probably different to leather but they change drastically the first 5-10h you wear them.

Tbh switzerland has a similar system to the SGAE, where there is a "hidden tax" on all devices that you can load with data. And in turn the downloading of media (with the exclusion of computerprograms and games) is legal. Only the upload of copyrighted material is forbidden.

Not a bad system imo, the tax is so small that you dont really notice it so its a pretty consumer-friendly and piracy-friendly solution. Altho I assume the swiss government gets away with it because it would be too expensive to lobby/legal for a copyrightsholder-favoured system compared with the small amount of people (let alone pirate) who live here.

I am 70% sure this is correct, i remember vaguely: The swiss law was written in 2019 iirc. The idea is that there is a high tax on drives/usb sticks/dvds and all such devices. This gets distributed to copyrightholders in some way. And uploading is illegal.

experiences with Kenwood, Kitchenaid and other cooking machines in c/foss@beehaw.org

[–] Freeman@feddit.de 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The appliance in the picture is a standmixer + scale + induction cooker with additional features to do much more (if you buy them ofc). What I dont know is if the app/wifi connection is required or optional, if its required I am not buying it.

It appeals to me because you can just throw in the ingredients the appliance tells you to and after 10-20 mins you have a done onepot, soup, dough or sauce. But am worried about the software part of this becuse I am with you about those 5 years and then they lose interest. But those companies are reputable and have a long history of repairing their devices and giving new warranty on it after the repair. So that makes me optimistic, kinda.

Has anyone experience how bad the proriatary software is on such machines? For Kenwood there is an app (Kenwood World App) which apparently guides you through the cooking-process. Does anyone have a idea for how long this app or other apps from similar machines will be maintained? Does anyone have experience of using such a device without an internet connection?

I am sure that there wont ever be a simple foss app which can connect to such a device, but how bad is it? I am worried that the new Kenwoods wont be as durable as the old one I had (had it handed down, was around 30yo), because the software will be discontinued.

Looking for people with experiences with such machines and their software-side.

[Crosspost] Any suggestions, experiences with the swiss ISPs when setting up a home media server or NAS? (feddit.de)

Are there differences between ISPs (Swisscom, UPC, ...) and their routers/modems when it comes to port-forwarding, IP management and so on?

Does anyone have previous experiences and suggestions, for which ISP I should go?

Edit for update 11.2023: Init7 with the 777.- a year plan has the option to add a 20.-/month extra for a own public, static IPv4. This was too expensive for me, i gave up and went with the cheap Yallo something, which has the whole GC NAT shenanigans. I now hope for better ipv6 support in the comming years... Mostly by the fucking shit mobile shitproviders 😡😡, mobile data by all isps in switzerand has NO ipv6 support

I dont want to seem ungreatful, I downloaded a really rare piece of music history that way (over almost 2 weeks) and am seeding it now. But I am genuiently interested, how this happens. Surely no connection is that bad, even with vpn and up/down-limit?

What media have you found in best quality or even only with the methods of the high seas?

I am not looking for: "I only use my super jellyfin and so on setup because its almost free". But rather I want to hear if you found rare pieces of media which are maybe even lost otherwise.

I am looking into setting up a home mediaserver. Any good guides? (feddit.de)

The aim is to have a qbittorrent setup combined with a service like plex (or jellyfin?) to easily stream music, movies and TV shows to my mobile devices.

Is there a comprehensive guide or list of good software and hardware one could use to accomplish such a thing?

What I know/have already:

Good, paid VPN: Mullvad
Mediaserver software: Jellyfin
Torrenting software: qbittorrent
???

Compare american vs japanese craftsmen-cars (feddit.de)

Comparison left vs right for a craftsman who doesnt know which one he should buy:

l/r same bed size
r lower bed for way easier loading/unloading
r less likely to crash
r less fuel consumption and costs
r less expensive to repair
r easy to park
r easy to get around in narrow places like crowded construction sites or towns
r not participating in road arms race
l You get taken serious by your fellow carbrained americans because ""trucks"" are normalized and small handy cars are ridiculed.

So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.

[meta] Bestof r/autobloed auf diesem Lemmy? (feddit.de)

submitted 1 year ago by Freeman@feddit.de to c/autobloed@feddit.de

Es gibt auf Reddit "besto of" Subs, die die besten Posts der Woche aus einem Sub reposten. Vielleicht könnte dieses Lemmy ein Bestof r/autobloed werden? Mit Verlinkung auf Reddit oder als Kopien. Dann haben Interessierte keinen Grund mehr, die mühselige Redditapp zu betreten und dieses Lemmy wird bevölkert mit Content.

Meinungen dazu? Details zur Umsetzung? Gibt es Möglichkeiten dies effizient/automatisiert umzusetzen?
