Symphony, One of the best open source lite weight offline android music player in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Off topic slightly but for music VLC for Android is even better compared to its desktop sibling for the same purpose. I mean VLC for desktop will play anything and I dont deny how powerfull it is but afaik:

  • it doesnt rescan automaticaly for added and removed music like a watchfolder.
  • No native dark mode yet, yes a ton of dark mode themes, but they all are geared to video and lacking the medialibrary with album browsing.

Bit indeed for Android its super.

Must admit, those fields are precisely the ones I use in my filenaming convention. Other DMS put that in their databases but alas that's just trading one stack for another.

Other ones put it in XMP metadata of the pdf themselves. But I guess the work involved would be similar.

If it's just bookmarks can recommend Floccus and LinkWarden.

I don't know.

  • I don't need formatting but it doesn't get in the way either. So I am not bothered by it.
  • Also pdf and especially PDF/A standard is widely used for archiving and compliance regulation concerning archival and preservation.
  • If you want text the same tactic goes: just export in bulk to txt instead of pdf

My main point is: Why would you want a mail specific stack of hosting, storage, indexing and frontends? If it's all plain text anyway so the regular storage solutions for files come a long way.

There is an entire industry (which has its own disadvantages) to get communication artefacts out of those systems and put it in document management systems or other forms of file based archival.

I had roughly the same goals ( archive search 2 decades of mail) but approached it completely different: I export every mail to PDF with a strict naming convention.

  • Backend: No mailserver, just storage and backup for files.
  • Search: based on filenames FSearch and Void tools Everything. I could use local indexing on pdf content.
  • Frontend: a pdf viewer.
Minetest rejects another federation suggestion AGAIN. in c/[email protected]

Alternative idea .... Someone uses OpenConext to provide a federation hub connecting minetest servers with identity providers. You can even call it LuantiID.

I think he meant save the actual notes themselves. Often necessary for sync engines to replicate the notes to other devices and manage version control.

Because the actual export, transform and loading of multiple banks and accounts data is cumbersome its holding me back.

So curious to read about GoCardless.

But is that also for consumer?

Firefox DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials Extension NOT injecting CSS for Google Ads (addons.mozilla.org)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

My questions are:

  • Does the DuckDuckGo Firefox extension "Privacy Essentials" add a local css file to every visited site?
  • Can others reproduce this?
  • Is this harmfull or not?

Background:

I have a simple static one page site with just one html and css file. It's completely tracker free. Debugging it a bit with developer mode (F12) on I discovered a second css file. This file isnt on my webserver but added local. To pinpoint what caused this I removed every add-on / extension in my browser one by one, reloading and checking my website every time. Took me a while because didnt expect this one causing it.

To reproduce:

  • Install the extension from the link.
  • Open a random site
  • Check in developer mode the tab Style editor.
  • Scroll and look for a file named %3Ais(%5Bid*%3D'google_ads_iframe'%5D%.css or something like that.
  • Remove the extension and refresh.
  • Check if the file disappears.

Content of the css file: :is([id*='google_ads_iframe'], [id*='taboola-'], .taboolaHeight, .taboola-placeholder, #credential_picker_container, #credentials-picker-container, #credential_picker_iframe, [id*='google-one-tap-iframe'], #google-one-tap-popup-container, .google-one-tap-modal-div, #amp_floatingAdDiv, #ez-content-blocker-container) { display:none!important; min-height:0!important; height:0!important; }

/run/user/1000: What to do with it? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

My main question is about /run/user/1000:

  • Should I avoid touching it?
  • Could I delete it?
  • Is there something wrong with it?

Background: I'm fairly new to Linux and just getting used to it.

I use fsearch to quickly find files (because my filenaming convention helps me to get nearly everything in mere seconds). Yesterday I decided to let it index from root and lower instead of just my home folder.

Then I got a lot of duplicate files. For example in subfolders relating to my mp3 player I even discovered my whole NextCloud 'drive' is there again: /run/user/1000/doc/by-app/org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry/51b78f5c/N

Searching: Looking for answers I read these, but couldnt make sense of it.

Puzzled:

  • Is this folder some RAM drive so my disk doesnt show anything strange? Because this folder doesnt even show up at the root level.
  • Are these even real? Because the size of it (aprox 370 GB) is even bigger then my disksize (screenshot).

Any tips about course of (in)action appreciated.

Although the headline focusses on a obvious category of media, it really can go wrong on a lot of other categories as well.
