I like knitting, math, and uplifting the proletariat.

A combination of SearXNG and Stract, for the most part. They're definitely not perfect (yet), but they mostly get the job done! And I think they both have a lot of cool filters and refinement settings that I haven't even taking advantage of so far.

For niche stuff it seems like a lot of hyper targeted search engines are popping up, like Sepia Search for PeerTube.

I use it fairly frequently and enjoy it! My instance is Pxlmo but it hardly matters, federation doing its thing and all. The official app is quite buggy atm, but not unusably so, and it's fun to watch the updates slowly improve things. I do follow a lot of people who are actually on mastodon but only ones who mostly post pictures anyway, so they fit better in my pixelfed feed.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention! I also kinda use it as image hosting for other apps! Only for pictures worth posting though, not trying to clutter it up. All my picture posts on Lemmy are stored there. If you put the direct link to the pic in the Lemmy image field, it shows up just as if you'd uploaded it directly to the post, no click-through necessary.

MxRemy ,

Interesting, maybe it didn't used to work! It does have to be the direct link to the image, if that helps. Like, "right click on image, open in new tab", then use that link? The link to the post itself doesn't do it.

MxRemy ,

I would really like to mess around with self-hosting someday, but I live in a residential area and those sort of shenanigans are explicitly banned by my ISP. Is there anything someone in that position can do?

MxRemy ,

I was afraid that might be the case... Definitely pretty messed up, but with the state of ISPs around here it's not surprising either. This guide is super awesome though, I'll use it if I ever get a chance to!

MxRemy ,

I've heard of options to get around the lack of static IP, but will something like this also keep my ISP off my back about hosting? If so I'm onboard!

MxRemy ,

That's what I've been wondering, like can I just do it anyway? I have Verizon FiOS gigabit, for reference. If they really just don't care then I don't mind violating TOS at all, but I wasn't sure if they do or not

MxRemy ,

Pennsylvania, U.S.A. I hear it's a fairly common policy here but does vary from provider to provider. As I understand it, most areas in the U.S. have at most 2 ISP companies to choose from, and many only have 1. So they can kinda set whatever BS policies they want.

Doing the lord's work 🫡

MxRemy ,

Omg soooo manyyyyyy. I dunno how to count them in-app but it's gotta be at least a hundred.

MxRemy OP ,

I have GMed it a couple times, never been a player. Not really enough to get a feel for it yet, I guess? It didn't feel lacking, but I also want to get the most out of it.

MxRemy ,

Whoaa, a fedi tumblr clone?! I had no idea anyone was working on that. You rock!

@fediverse Is this a title ?

So... Theoretically this should be visible from Lemmy. Hi Lemmy users ! Greeting from Mastodon !
(Im never leaving the fediverse if this works)

MxRemy ,

Greetings from Lemmy, Uhrbaan of Mastodon!

MxRemy ,

I bet it might be fun to, just once, get all the most infamous lemmings goofing around in one thread together. Because communities are themed, maybe they don't usually cross paths that often

MxRemy ,

Thanks, this was really informative! I’ve only been on the viewer side of Peertube, but I’m a fan for sure. From that perspective, another thing is that I really wish there was a better app for it. Thorium hasn’t been updated in ages, and it’s super glitchy.

MxRemy ,

I went with spectra.video, but my subscriptions are allllll over the place. I have roughly the same approach to choosing an instance on every platform:

  • Not the flagship instance or one that’s similarly huge.
  • Not one that’s miniscule either.
  • Running as close to the latest version of the software as possible.
  • Then and only then do I start comparing rules, cool content, etc.
MxRemy ,

I’ve been on Pxlmo and I love it there so far, except for some reason I’ve never been able to get video posts to work. That’s probably just user error though.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I’ve also been using it as an image host for posting pictures here! I kinda figured that, since Pixelfed is literally designed for picture sharing, it might be better at handling all those files? Hopefully?

Good sources for obscure educational videos?

Hello. I am having trouble finding a video I own on VHS format. I want to get a digital copy, but it probably does not exist. I think there are rules against asking about particular titles, so I’ll just state the topic. It’s about skills used by guides for camping in the wilderness between north central US and Canada. Are...

MxRemy ,

in addition to ILL, they may also have a digitization setup for converting your VHS to digital.
