What dongle do you recommend?

catbox.moe is a very popular (especially on Lemmy) and reliable media hosting site. It happened to be down earlier today but it’s back up now.

I think you meant @Fizz@lemmy.nz

I prefer just about every third-party UI to the official one…

Don’t forget Playlet for Roku!

• Windows: FreeTube
• Android: NewPipe
• Roku: Playlet

The trifecta!

Hey I just wanted to say, thank you for sending me down the rabbit hole of both of these texts. Fascinating!

Regarding the Voynich Manuscript, and to be fair to the person you’re responding to, with no current decipherment, there is a good possibility it’s a hoax.

Churchill acknowledges the possibility that the manuscript is either a synthetic forgotten language (as advanced by Friedman), or else a forgery, as the preeminent theory. However, he concludes that, if the manuscript is a genuine creation, mental illness or delusion seems to have affected the author.

Also the Codex Seraphinianus is much newer and self-admittedly describes an imaginary world in an imaginary language.

Anyway, thanks again for the Wikipedia adventure. :D

Is my client bugging or is this comment empty?

is anyone aware of how to properly link comments on lemmy?

As far as I know, there is no way right now. There’s some discussion of having a more agnostic identifier here, but seemingly no movement yet.

The best you can get right now is using an extension like Instance Assistant for Lemmy, but that only helps you, not the person you’re responding to.

That said, if you use a mobile app (I use Thunder) it will usually handle post/comment links in-app, so it doesn’t matter what instance they link to.

Whoa that’s cool! It works in Thunder!

• The Session open group server sog.caliban.org has been permanently shut down due to the declining state and neglect of the open group ecosystem by its creators.
• The transition from the private cryptocurrency OXEN to the public ERC-20 token SENT is criticized for favoring the project’s creators over loyal community members, leading to potential financial losses for many.
• The author condemns the management of Session for their incompetence and dishonesty, predicting the project’s inevitable failure due to a lack of trust and proper execution.

No worries! Thanks for mentioning it, I might check it out!

Adorable! Thanks so much for sharing.

Syncthing Syncthing Syncthing works flawlessly /plugover :)

Do you know how this compares to Ditto?

System Informer is a nice, more modern take on Process Explorer. My favorite feature is the filter which supports RegEx and searches the process name, command args, path, etc. Really nice for monitoring a few important processes.

7-zip

If you’re on Win 11, use NanaZip. It’s a fork with better integration with Windows 11’s crappy conext menu.

Caffeine

If you have PowerToys this is built in now.

AnyDesk has started enshitifying too but it’s still better than TeamViewer.

What? This just isn’t true? I RDP into work all time and it picks up my user session with all open apps from the last time I was physically at the machine. Then next time I’m at the machine, it picks up the session from last time I remoted in. In other words, as long as you always use the same account, it’s always the same session.

Your activity also can’t be viewed by a user on the remote system

You are right this, but this is actually a benefit in my opinion. The last thing I want is for someone to turn on my monitor and see everything I’m doing. I like that it’s a private session of sorts.

Also RDP is better at adapting resolutions (I want my session to use my local monitors’ resolution, not the remote one) and forwarding system key shortcuts than any other remote solution I’ve used.
