If you're running #NixOS, have you tried Omniflake? I've seen it pop up here and there, but I'm kinda surprised it isn't more popular.
https://github.com/fzakaria/omniflake
And if you are using it, are you getting a version mismatch between nixpkgs and home-manager? I can't figure out how to fix this lol

Those of us who've been self-hosting for a while tend to forget that we have specialized knowledge and experience that most people don't. For example, the average person probably only spends 5-10 hours per week fixing their homelabs

Hey if you like the idea of #Linux on #Android, the #AndroidVirtualizationFramework now allows virtual machines to access the phone's storage (not all of it, but the same like any app). This removes a huge barrier in running useful Linux software on Android, even though it's still got a ways to go before we can launch Linux apps directly alongside Android apps.
Also, if you're a #NixOS user, check out the nixos-avf project: https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-avf

Wait why is #NixOS compiling git? All I did was update flake.lock :blobfoxconfused:

If you every wanted to know how it's possible to subjugate an entire population of people, check out this video. It's based on #HalfLife, but you don't need to know the story to understand it. The author does a great job of giving context as he goes. Basically, he goes over #MaslowsHierarchyOfNeeds step-by-step and how the regime (the Combine) twists it to suit their own goals. And if you are a Half Life fan, check out Skyrionn's other videos!

"Beginner's guide to the GNOME desktop environment for Linux", AKA ":ms_paw_print: for newbies"
Inspired by a post from @npub1mgy…cynu, this is a blog covering the basics of using GNOME for someone fresh from Windows or Mac. How to navigate, how to access your applications, how to run startup & shutdown commands, how to use Activities and virtual desktops, etc.
If you're new to Ubuntu/Fedora or another Linux distribution, and you're not sure how to get started, this will (hopefully) help.
For long-term users: please let me know if there's anything you think I should add!

It's kinda convoluted, but it works. You have to put the stream into an M3U file, then add the M3U file as a "Live TV tuner"

#Jellyfin tip: If you're trying to set up Internet Radio streams in Jellyfin using the Live TV M3U tuner method, check "Auto-loop live streams" and uncheck "Ignore DTS". I was having disconnection/buffering issues using the default settings, and this fixed them

If you listen to a lot of Internet Radio, #Shortwave is a really cool #Gnome app. It's connected to radio-browser.info so you can search channels, but my favorite feature is that it keeps a cache of songs played, and you can download any played song directly to your home folder!
Also, the creator's on Mastodon. Show him some love 😸 https://mastodon.social/@haeckerfelix
