  • For me season 1 was not awful. It was not good, but it was not awful. Now season 2... was absolutely terrible, the worse we have seen in all the Star Trek universe. Season 3 was better than 2, but it was still not good.

    I'd say avoid this show!

    I see Star Trek Lower Decks has been mentioned. That is truly a great show!

  • Kevin Barry, the founder and original developer of Nova Launcher has stopped working on Nova Launcher and the open sourcing efforts.

    Jump

  • What team? He wrote he was the only one working on Nova for the past year.

  • Loads of problems with Jellyfin

    Jump

  • Yes, Kodi (via LibreELEC) and then JellyCon on top.

    For other Amlogic ARM devices, like the Minix U22X-J (Max) or Ugoos AM6+ I mentioned above, CoreELEC is the LibreELEC alternative.

  • Loads of problems with Jellyfin

    Jump

  • Chances are very high that Kodi will detect your own TV's remote and you can use that! https://kodi.wiki/view/CECIf that doesn't work, there are many cheap options.

    I also use the official JellyFin client on my android phone with MPV as player and that also works perfectly fine. And the Jellyfin Media Player on my laptop is also flawless.

    In my experience, the older Chromecasts are probably the only clients with problems.

    If I had to buy a client device, I'd probably go with a Minix U22X-J (Max) or Ugoos AM6+ https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/amlogic-ng-and-dolby-vision/24738

  • Loads of problems with Jellyfin

    Jump

  • I've been using Jellyfin for over 2 years. My main clients are a Raspberry 4 and a Raspberry 5 using Kodi + the Jellyfin plugin. This combo has been flawless.

    I also have an older Chromecast and I experience there similar problems with subtitles.

  • Is there an Ubuntu variant these days that works on 32-bit?

    Jump

  • MX Linux is a nice Debian based distro that still supports 32-bit. Or you could use just Debian.

  • Python 3.14.0 alpha 1

    Jump

  • Recommendations on casual GB/GBA games?

    Jump

  • I have spent a lot of time playing GB/GBA games and Advance Wars is among my favorites. I love the "hot potato" mode for playing with a friend with just one device.

  • What languages/frameworks for small, very low usage apps on limited hardware?

    Jump

  • Python / FastAPI will be better than Java in your situation and is easy to learn. Go should be even better and is also relatively easy to learn!

  • Can You Use Raspberry Pi 5 as a Desktop Computer?

    Jump

  • I own two Raspberries 1, a Raspberry 4 8GB and a Raspberry 5 8GB. I wouldn't recommend the 4 as a full-fledged desktop replacement, but the 5 has been very smooth so far.

    I'm currently using the latest Raspberry Pi OS Lite and installed KDE on top.

  • Communication between Raspberry Pis on different networks

    Jump

  • A VPN would be my first choice. ZeroTier works like a charm on the RPis. I've shared even SQLite databases over Samba over Zerotier among a bunch of RPis daily for a couple of years without a hitch.

  • Cannot open instances

    Jump

  • Same problem here!

  • Memray: the endgame memory profiler

    Jump

  • Is there any way to run a Python GTK3 apps on Windows? [Solved]

    Jump

  • PyQT / PySide are huge, but they have been very good in my experience coding cross platform desktop programs. macOS, Windows and Linux (even on ARM) are very well supported.

  • Geany 2.0 is out! | Geany

    Jump

  • I use VSCode for coding, but if it's a small script or pure text files, then I use Geany.

  • Litestar 2.0 Released

    Jump

  • I've been following this project for a while and it's great. They are just not great at promoting it.

  • Is there going to be Pro version?

    Jump

  • I was also a Pro user and I'd gladly pay again for a Pro version.

    Ultra was too much for me on Reddit and here it's the same.

    Thanks!

  • Jellyfin on windows, how do I cast to my Chromecast?

    Jump

  • Easiest solution, use the Jellyfin client on your phone and use that to stream to your Chromecast.

    If you want to use just your PC, then you need to be able to access your Jellyfin over HTTPS. Search a bit and you'll find tutorials for this, but you'll have some work ahead of you. Doing all this through your smartphone is much easier.

  • Endeavour vs Manjaro

    Jump

  • I've used Linux since the mid 90s, but I switched to Linux as my desktop daily driver just 2 years ago and I went with Manjaro. I was prepared to switch to a pure Arch setup, but I'm still vary happy with Manjaro. I use AUR, but only very few packages.

  • Seeing how good Lemmy is makes me frustrated with Mastodon

    Jump

  • I'm having a similar experience. Almost all developers (mostly Python/Django) I was following on Twitter are on Mastodon and being able to follow hashtags is great. The servers are stable and I kept the very first android client I tried (Tusky).
