Seems like this topic got lots of attention over night, I really appreciate it!

It looks like there's really no solution for what I'm looking for, even if I'd move to windows I don't think I'd get what I want. Apparently only Apple has that but I'm not sure, never owned an apple device.

Seems like this would be a cool project to work on, cross platform cross device parental control with Linux as a first class citizen.

She's using a Samsung android phone with Family Link, it's meh but does it's job. I'm looking into limiting screen time more than content restrictions, and having the total screen time across all devices in a centralised service is very much what I'm looking for.

[–] brunofin@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

This is very cool

My daughter has ADHD and if we don't limit her screen time she can literally spend the whole day sitting and watching Minecraft videos, and then later she gets very grumpy, so yeah while I absolutely hate having to do it, it's more for her own health than content exposure (not blocking websites and app installation other than by age recommendation).

 

Hi all,

I'm getting a pc for my daughter. I'll install Fedora KDE Spin. I'm looking for a parental control solution that also integrates with her Android phone. I'm currently using Google's Family Link which while not great it offers enough. I'd be happy to move to any other solution that can count both device's usage screen time as one so she doesn't use up her phone and then move to the PC.

Any cool recommendations?

 

Hello guys, sorry for the lack of updates in the past few months.

In between fighting long covid and having a lack of time for maintaining alone a side project of this scale, I have decided to make Beyond open source. I will later this week migrate the tickets from Notion to github issues.

If anyone is interested in keeping this project alive, please let me know, I'd be happy to continue working on it in case there's interest, but with the amount of other Lemmy apps around at the moment, I feel like another one may not be needed.

Feel free to use the code as a study case. I did some interesting things in a few places, some other very questionable in others. My goal was to have a working app up and running asap and fix the weird things later knowingly that the most permanent fixes are the temporary ones lol

In any case, here's the source code, hope you enjoy it :)

Can't wait to add this to my transitions blue light filter colour blind prescription smart glasses.

[–] brunofin@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

I agree. I say open door so the function should be named openDoor.

Honestly nowadays none of that matter if you're using any remotely modern IDE with good indexing and a sensible search, you can start typing however you mind works and it will find it no matter how it's named.

[–] brunofin@lemm.ee 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lol read and understand it.

[–] brunofin@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

Lol ok your comment just made me realize my mistake, and I'd probably never see it and just go back to Plex instead.

So what happened is that when I imported my Plex library to Jellyfin I created a library named "Concerts" and content type I probably intended to click "Shows" but clicked "Music" instead which I'm guessing at this point expects only audio files, thus, never listing my concerts files on Jellyfin :)

That said, I think "Shows" is probably also not the correct content type here, I think they meant more like TV shows, like The Office or Friends etc. Probably the right content type is either Music Videos or just Movies.

Anyway thanks for the help, I wouldn't have noticed my mistake if it weren't for your comment.

[–] brunofin@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

So I realized, those files were in a "Concerts" type of library. I copied the files into my "Movies" type library, and alas there they are.

Not sure why though, I can work with that, but I'd prefer they would be in their own library.

Is there anything special with that kind of library I should know about? Or is this a bug?

[–] brunofin@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Interesting is that I see absolutely no errors in the logs. Some folders it explicitly mentions it ignored them for being empty while they actually contain files. Not sure why.

[–] brunofin@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (5 children)

Interesting. Thanks for that. I ran a chmod +x --recursive . in my library root but still those files won't show up in Jellyfin.

Edit: I just found this link about file naming. Did I understand well that Jellyfin is expecting files to be named in a certain way?

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/

If that's true that's not really ideal, I expected I could just throw files or folders in the library root and Jellyfin would find them?

 

Hi all, I moved away from Flex just yesterday and installed Jellyfin. Liking it so far, it's clean and uncluttered, but unfortunately it seems not all my files are being recognized and aren't showing in the library.

Mostly it looks like it's showing exclusively mkv files, but I have a bunch of Avi and vob files that used to be properly recognized in Plex. Any way to make those work?

I am running Jellyfin on Podman from Fedora 40 managed by systemd, using the official docker image. The container walkthrough mentioned other 2 alternative images, not sure if I should try one of them?

Thanks!

 

Hi, no matter how many times I click Restart & Updates..., the integrated firmware update never get's installed. Everything else does as usual, but not this one.

Is there a command line I can use to force install this?

Fedora 39.

EDIT: Solved.

My ESP /boot/efi partition originally created by Windows 11 had no space for the firmware upgrade files, so the upgrade never ran.

I fixed it by resizing it from 100MB to 200MB, now it works well.

Just in case anyone runs into this in the future, the process is unfortunately not as simple as resizing it on GParted because of a bug in libparted https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649324 but there is a workaround in the comments.

 

Edit: Fixed by this comment: https://lemm.ee/comment/8626267 Thanks!


Hi all, please help me figure out this weird issue I've been having. Any time I leave my laptop idle for a long time, when I come back to it, it's back to the log in screen as in the laptop rebooted.

I am not sure which logs I should be looking for to figure out the source of the problem.

Here's my system info:

I don't mind cloud solutions that I need to pay as long as it's fair and the software is worth it. Having that said, I also don't mind one that simply exposes the stream and I need to setup my router to access it remotely.

 

They came as eggs with plants I bought months ago. I honestly don't have a problem with them but over the week their population EXPLODED. They are everywhere and covering almost the entire floor. I understand I may need to get rid of them but they are still are live beings and I dont want to be inhuman. How do I get rid of them?

Hello, I've been a long time Linux user but I had a 5 years break and I am coming back to it now.

I've been trying several Linux distributions in the past week, installing the packages and configuring them as I need with several different orders of success.

My last case was an Ubuntu installation that I was very happy with and pretty close to call it setup and done, until I installed virtualbox and restarted the system only to find it bricked.

Obviously I could try to drop into one of the terminals on ctrl + alt + Fx and fix it, but I wonder if I could be smarter about it and be more prepared for this kind of situation.

One of the starting points I think would be having a separate home partition from the rest of the system. I used to have it in the past and it was great.

But then what's next? What are the best FS I could pick for each type of partition? A performant one to keep the code and package manager cache, a journaling/snapshop based one for system, another type for game data, etc etc.

What if I would like to have a snapshot of working version of my system backed up somewhere ready to restore as simple as simple as possible?

How do you configure your systems in order to quickly recover from an unexpected bricking without growing some more white hairs, and squeezing as much performance vs feature for each of your use case?

 

As title says. Fresh installation of Fedora Workstation 38. All packages are up to date. I am simply not able to add my Google acount. It stays on this screen forever, with the top spinning indicator loading all the time.

Any help appreciated.

Hello everyone, I am very pleased to announce this new alpha version of Beyond. With this version, I am including a few new things:

  • The insta-crashing app (sorry it took so long to Google to publish the update!);
  • An improved login form experience with better feedback of errors and of when it's busy (this login form with still further be improved post alpha or beta stage);
  • 2FA support;
  • NSFW filter (it will be enabled by default meaning if you want to see NSFW content you need to enable that -- that's also the start of the bigger Filters feature);
  • Error reports -- the app is now able to submit anonymous error reports with code stack traces so I can fix them faster and provide a better experience as quick as possible for you. The reports are completely anonymous and do not contain any sort of identifiable or traceable information besides what error happened and where in the code. If you are concerned about that please let me know and I can make that an opt-out feature in the next releases;
  • Patreon link -- the app now has a Patreon page! If you like what you're seeing and would like to buy me a coffee or a car (the choice is yours! 😂) your support will be very much appreciated!

You can get the app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=software.protolane.fediverseclient&hl=en&gl=US

 

I pushed an update fixing that 2 days ago but unfortunately Google is taking really long reviewing and approving the newer version, something that usually takes about 1h is taking days.

Unfortunately I can't do anything while the new version is in review, so my apologies for publishing a version that causes insta crash, and I am sorry Google is taking so long to publish the updated version fixing that.

 

Hello all, today I am releasing yet another small update to Beyond:

  • Refresh posts and comments with pull to refresh;
  • Add app version to the sidebar;
  • Fixed a bug where posts and comments would stop loading and show an infinite loading spinner;
  • Improved performance when loading lots of posts;
  • Home screen background image uses the full height;
  • Fixed a bug that caused the app to crash when loading comments from a post;
  • Scroll position will reset to top on a new post;

You can get it here (please allow some time for Google Play to publish the release everywhere if you don't see the new version yet): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=software.protolane.fediverseclient

If you're interested in follow development status you can checkout the Notion page where I keep track of the roadmap: https://www.notion.so/brunofinger/Beyond-45cabaae7f724cd5ad2b77d902e9a97e?pvs=4

Thank you for all your support, and again if you find any bugs or have any suggestions, or anything at all, feel free to leave a comment!
