[help] What is the best way to screenshare a single window with audio?

Hello guys! sometimes I watch movies with friends over jitsi meet, and in order to share just a single window with just its own audio I use chromium, that has the “share tab” option. However, I’d like a more general solution (I cannot play mkv files on browser, for example). I’d like a compact way that creates a virtual...

tubbadu,

I think the problem is not something related to jitsi, meet, discord or matrix, but rather to the OS screensharing capabilities

tubbadu,

It would be just me sharing to everybody else on the internet (no more than 6 people)

Jitsi meet works great, the only problem is being able to share only “a portion” of what it currently does

tubbadu,

I already have a jellyfin instance, but syncplay didn’t works very reliably for me, some users experienced freezing, jumps and other problems

Thanks for the suggestion anyway!

tubbadu,

Uhm this could be a good workaround, I’ll look into it, thanks! It would solve the movies problem, but not any other screen sharing problem

Thank you!

tubbadu,

automatically no, but perhaps there’s a way to replace it. If there’s a way to check if a variable is “divisible by another symbolic one” then it would be not so hard to implement this behavior

tubbadu,

It looks interesting, but more focused on conversions than actual operations it seems:

tubbadu,

This looks very VERY promising! I’ll try to install it tomorrow and Post here the results! Thanks?

tubbadu,

I downloaded it and tried to run it, but it gets stuck in a loop and I don’t know how it could be fixed:


<span style="color:#323232;">error: max_recursion_depth exceeded
</span><span style="color:#323232;">error: called from
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    baseUnitSystem
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    <unknown>
</span>

it seems the problem is in the line


<span style="color:#323232;">coreUnits = buildCoreUnits(u.baseUnitSystem);
</span>

in the file u.m, I think because u.baseUnitSystem tries to “call itself”. I don’t know what this should be supposed to do, and have no idea on how to possibly fix it :(

How to write a QML effect for KWin, KDE's window manager (blog.vladzahorodnii.com)

Since the dawn of the times, the only way to implement any effect that has fancy user interface used to be in C++. It would be rather an understatement to say that the C++ API is difficult to use or get it right so there are no glitches. On the other hand, it would be really nice to be able to implement dashboard-like effects...

tubbadu,

This… This is amazing! I can finally write an application switcher optimized for my touchscreen device! Thanks KDE devs!

tubbadu,

I use it but I really want a way to sync the subscriptions and watch history with my desktop client, and currently the only way (afaik) is to use piped or invidious

tubbadu,

I always see “this doesn’t work, why?” posts, it’s the first time I see a “this works, why?” post XD

tubbadu,

MICRO! It’s shortcuts are the same as any “gui” editor, so ctrl+S to save, ctrl+Q to quit, ctrl-C to copy etc, and also has an awesome mouse support (you don’t have to use the Mouse, but if sometimes you do, it works). It’s the first thing I install on new systems, give it a try ;)

tubbadu,

micro-editor.github.io

tubbadu,

Can I clear that cache? It scares me

tubbadu,

ok got it, so /home will be backupped and /media will not, correct? thank you very much!

How do I create a docker container with custom programs inside?

Hello! I have a free account at hide.me and would like to try to use it with my docker compose containers. The free plan does not give me the keys for openVPN of Wireguard configuration, but only through the official client. I’d like then to create a docker container that runs the official hide.me client inside, and exposes it...

tubbadu,

isn’t it an entire OS? I only need to bind the internet traffic of my container to the ones I want doing something like network_mode: container:myhidemecontainer in docker compose

tubbadu,

I found this repo and image which may work for you as is or as a starting point.

Wow I completely missed this one! This is exactly what I was planning to do! I actually installed the original repo because I’m not on arm, and it seem to work very well! I have to do a few tests to check if the killswitch actually works

thank you very very much!

tubbadu,

Hide.me free tier does not allow unofficial clients (they doesn’t give you the wireguard keys) otherwise I’d use gluetun for sure!

tubbadu,

I’ll look into it, thanks!

tubbadu,

I used to use proton vpn but I recently learned that torrenting is not allowed on the free tier, so I had to look for alternatives, and none of them offers a free tier with openvpn or wireguard keys that allows torrenting :(

How to fool a laptop into thinking a monitor is connected?

Hello! I converted an old laptop with a broken screen into a home server, and it all works well except for one thing: when I reboot it (via ssh), if no screen is connected, it will get stuck and refuse to boot. as soon as I connect an HDMI monitor, the fans will start spinning and it will start booting as usual. Then I can...

tubbadu,

I didn’t think this could actually exist, just ordered one! thanks!

[not solved] I think I messed something up in the router settings but cannot understand what... now I have no internet connection

Hello! I (tried, at least) converted an old laptop to a Debian home server, and I was trying to set up duckdns.org and to enable port forwarding on my router. internet connection was working, I installed packages, docker, immich, etc, and then suddenly (I don’t know exactly when) it refuses to connect to the internet. It does...

I'm looking for a FOSS Weather app for android

Hello! I’m looking for a foss weather app for android, so I went ahead to f-droid and tried a bunch of them, but didn’t find any that fully satisfies me: I want to be able to see the hourly forecast of any day of the week, not just the “global” forecast, and I want the weather service used not to require a credit card...

To switch or not to switch, that is the question (lemmy.kde.social)

Hello fellow lemmings! Fedora KDE user here, and quite happy about it, it didn’t break a single time and packages are up to date. The only thing that bother me is DNF’s speed… a single search may take up to 5 seconds, and if I’m dependency-hunting I may need several searches, summing up the delays. I’m asking if...

tubbadu,

I never heard of it, what are the pros/cons?
