I'll bear it in mind, thanks. Is this something that you've done?

Some great food for thought - and some ideas that I hadn't considered before - esp. about the mood I'm trying to convey.

Your comments about taking lots of photos makes good sense - with a few batteries and a couple of sd cards, I could take hundreds of photos - and maybe if I see one that I like, I can return to explore more of the same.

Many thanks for the great tips.

This is an area of Photography I really struggle with. So I'm interested to learn if anyone has any good tips for capturing photos of trees.

It's winter here in the UK and most of the trees are now leafless.

Grateful for any thoughts.

What's the best way to stream my files to my devices whem I'm away from home? in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Rambler@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Absolutely correct. I was referring to videos/films that I'm watching that are hosted by plex. Apologies if I didn't make that clear. The videos that it hosts for me do not have adverts.

Thanks for the very detailed advice. Definately some interesting things to follow up on. I got the plex pass when I bought the shield but never got it to connect remotely, but due to them putting ads in their films, I'm now thinking to switch to something else.

Great, I'll repost, thanks. What's a mesh network btw?

Thanks. I couldn't get plex to run from 'off site', it was probably something that I wasn't doing properly.

I'm not sure if it was the vpn or not, but it never connected even though I set the tunnelling like it said.

I'd like some streaming help please.

I've got a linux mint laptop, a windows pc, an nvidia shield and films that I'd like to watch from anywhere. Can you suggest a best way to do this, or any 'best' method that I can adopt?

I'll add that I'm not great at Linux, and all these devices will be on sleep mode when I'm away from home (apart from my nvidia) - which I believe is always on.

If possible I'd like to keep costs down, but I'm open to learning some new stuff.

Thanks for any help.

Edit: tarted up text.

Leather strop for sharpening

I'm genuinely curious here - really? As someone who always has to mess with the old fashioned 'steel' (mind your hands cus there's no guard on it!) sharpener, are they better? Honestly, heard of them, never used but interested.

Funny, but I see soo many kids walking to school with their worldly belongings in their back packs! Worse is they're hanging soo low - at least get a hip strap. Life lessons I guess. In my day we had lockers in the school.

Looking for what I can do with my android TV in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] Rambler@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now, a Sony Bravia - what size and price may I ask ? And how difficult is it to remove all the shit ad functionality from it ?

I've had my 32" for like 8 years but definately looking for the same quality piece of kit.

Excellent! Glad you found what you wanted - I'll bookmark this for when I have to replace my trusty Bravia! 👍

Debrid + stremio + torrentio also Unchained - General Discussion. (lemm.ee)
 

Just started using the above setup and gotta say this is the bees bollox - I'm so impressed by just how fluid it all works - free from an insane price too - it just works flawlessly!

I've got to add in here - Unchained (F-droid) which connects to an RD account and allows to search stuff and either 'aside' for later or download immediately - the app (imho) is wicked and definately worth checking out and supporting.

The great stuff aside, I have one general question: feel free to add more...

Saving stuff: I know that torrentio will save links into my RD account for me to pick up later, but can I get it to auto download into a folder of my choice - to any folder on my network? I can get it to save onto my phone (via Unchained) but then I've got to transfer it into my library.

I'm looking for a easy/lazy way I guess.

Any thoughts?

Clear the cache on exit. (lemm.ee)

Is it possible to get sync to clear the cache? As someone who has ocd I'd like the option to leave everything behind me clean when I leave.

Edit: added words.

Why do 'View more ()' comments dissappear when I click them ? (lemm.ee)
 

I'm seeing this happen more of late: the message 'View more (1)' appears in-between a thread (the number varies by the way), when I click to expand the comments a message 'loading' appears followed by 'no comments added'. Why does it think there are more comments and why can it not retrieve and show them?

I'm using Sync for Lemmy.

Fedilab - help me understand it - please (lemm.ee)
 

I downloaded fedilab from fdroid and it looks on the surface as though it can access instances of the fediverse as well as lots of other stuff - like I can see lemmy.world and lemmy.ml but not lemmy.ee but I'm not sure how to see individual communities - unless there's a post I can see to follow.

So my basic understanding of all this - coming from reddit, is that these instances all federate together - as one, so to speak.

I'm just getting a little confused here. So can anyone explain just how this piece of software works please?

Thanks.

Repository App Lister (lemm.ee)
 

Trying to setup obtainium and I'm forgetting just where I got some of my apps from. Does anyone know if I can get a list of all the apps that I've installed by repo? This could be just a way to achieve this or an app itself - not too fussed, but I feel updating my foss apps is getting on top of me. Thanks.

Can I read from calibre remotely? (lemm.ee)
 

I have my calibre synced from pc to Nextcloud and use the android app to link them together.

I mostly read reference books - recipes, photography, history - so I don't need, or have the space to keep the books on my mobile phone.

This works great however, what I'd really like to do is read my books without having to download them first.

I guess I'm looking for a lazy approach to reading my reference books without storing them all on my phone.

Anyone have any different approaches that I can learn from?
