    Song.link is the simplest I know of and seems to work pretty well. Just go to song.link/YOUR_TRACK_URL. For example

    https://song.link/https://music.apple.com/album/never-gonna-give-you-up-2022-remaster/1624945511?i=1624945512

    will take you to this page https://song.link/i/1624945512 with links to Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube and what not.

    Bonus tip: if you're on macOS and use Velja there's an option to automatically convert all copied music links to songlink.

    I really doubt an automated database dump is going to hurt them a whole lot. However, if you're looking to eliminate everything you've ever posted (and I mean everything, not just the few recent posts you see on your profile), redact.dev (possibly others too) can use that zip to find all your posts and comments and edit/delete them.

    Now I'm not saying you should delete your data. I know many people believe that leaving it there benefits humanity as a whole or whatever, but if you are going to do it that's the only effective way.

  • hatter hatter 1 year ago 88%

    A lot of people seem to have forgotten (or maybe just weren't around at the time) but there were tons of duplicate communities on reddit during the first years too. Over time their mods either agreed to close one and point everyone to the other or the less active ones faded away naturally.

    One problematic scenario I can envision with that approach on Lemmy however is the mods of news@lemmysite1 and news@lemmysite2 agreeing to keep the first one alive, but then after a while lemmysite1 closes for whatever reason. So we're left with news@lemmysite2 which is a ghost town. Probably not a big deal for a news community, but for something with a lot of info on a particular topic it's not really ideal.

    Interesting because that's exactly how LuLu works too. Or did you just whitelist everything and block only what you needed manually?

    I like how minimalistic RadioSilence is, but I found it a bit too limited for my use case. Does the job if you want to just block an app or two and allow everything else.

    Lulu is awesome, free, and open-source (so... triple awesome?). I've personally used it for a couple of years and I can definitely recommend it.

    Unfortunately there have been 3 separate times that it seemed to completely forget its configuration and having to allow or deny every single connection all over again gets old pretty fast. Little Snitch also looks nicer and has a few more features, although nothing life changing.

    With that said I just saw a decent discount and decided to share it. I'm not saying you should use one over the other or anything like that.

    After using old.reddit for ~15 years (of course back then it was called just reddit) I have to say I don't miss it one bit. It had so many issues, but was still infinitely better than the abomination they came up with to replace it so I stuck with it. While far from perfect, I much prefer Lemmy's UI.

    With that said, having the option is great. I'm sure it'll help a lot of people with the transition.

    Changes vs. [6.12.1](https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/6.12.1) This is mainly a bug fix release, including also a minor security update. Other highlights: - We reverted **docker** from v23.0.6, introduced during Unraid OS 6.12 development, to v20.10.24, which is the latest patch release of **docker** used in Unraid OS 6.11. This to address increased memory usage and other issues discovered with **docker**. - A small necessary change to invoke our 'update_services' script whenever a WireGuard tunnel starts or stops is automatically applied to all 'config/wireguard/*.conf' files when you update via Update OS page. For manual update or if you downgrade, it is necessary to make a "dummy change" in a setting on the Settings/VPN Manager page and then click Apply. ## Bug fixes and improvements - email notifications: add line in /etc/php.ini: 'mail.mixed_lf_and_crlf=On' to workaround change in PHP8 CRLF handling - emhttpd: Fix regression: emulated ZFS volumes not recognized - emhttpd: Fix regression: format fails if diskFsType==auto and defaultFsType specifies encryption - emhtptd: Fix regression: mount fails if diskFsType==auto - htop: remove predefined /root/.config/htop/htoprc file - network: RC services update: - NFS - fix service reload - RPC - fix service reload - NGINX - remove HTTPS port in FQDN redirect when default 443 - All services - register IPv4 Link local assignment (169.254.xxx.xxx) - All services - make lock file programmable - WireGuard: delayed service update to avoid race condition - rc.library: do not allow duplicates in bind list - webgui: Dashboard updates: - Re-introduce show/hide tile content - Add new icon function to show/hide all content at once - Reduce gap between columns - description -> model - ZFS: fix percentage value to max 100% - Use prototype function: This makes it easier for 3rd party developers to automatically hide dynamic content - Handle duplicate IP assignments and give warning - change header MEMORY to SYSTEM - webgui: OS Update: add checkbox to confirm reading release notes before upgrading - webgui: diagnostics: include list of duplicate assignments - webgui: NFS: for Security/Private increase Rule field from 256 to 512 characters. ## Linux kernel - version 6.1.36 ## Base Distro - bind: version -9.16.42 (CVE-2023-2911) - docker: 20.10.24 (revert from v23.0.6)

    Text Editors

    TextEdit.app is alright, but sometimes you just need a little extra functionality. What is your text editor of choice and why? I'll keep this post updated in order to create a comprehensive list for future reference. Don't want to play favorites so everything is in alphabetical order and three simple categories. --- ## Free Can't beat free, right? Here are some great options for the mighty fine price of zero dollars. ### CotEditor Free | Open Source | [Website](https://coteditor.com/) | [GitHub](https://github.com/coteditor/CotEditor) | [AppStore](https://apps.apple.com/app/coteditor/id1024640650?ls=1) | [Homebrew](https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/coteditor) CotEditor is a lightweight plain-text editor for macOS written in Swift. ### Plain Text Editor Free | [Website](https://sindresorhus.com/plain-text-editor) | [AppStore](https://apps.apple.com/app/id1572202501) Simple distraction-free notepad. ### Visual Studio Code Free | [Website](https://code.visualstudio.com/) Visual Studio Code is a free and extensible code editor for building web, desktop, and mobile applications, using any programming language and framework. ### VSCodium Free | Open Source | [Website](https://vscodium.com/) | [GitHub](https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium) | [Homebrew](https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/vscodium) Binary releases of Visual Studio Code without Microsoft branding, telemetry and licensing. ### BBEdit Free (additional features are $49.99 one-time purchase) | [Website](https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/) | [Homebrew](https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/bbedit) It doesn’t suck.® Crafted to serve the needs of writers, Web authors and software developers, and provides an abundance of features for editing, searching, and manipulation of prose, source code, and textual data. ### Emacs Free | [Website](https://emacsformacos.com/) An extensible, customizable, free/libre text editor — and more. ### VimR Free | Open Source | [GitHub](https://github.com/qvacua/vimr) | [Homebrew](https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/vimr) Project VimR is a Neovim GUI for macOS. The goal is to build an editor that uses Neovim inside with many of the convenience GUI features similar to those present in modern editors. --- ## Paid Sometimes paid apps have more to offer. Here are some of the most popular options. ### Nova $99 | [Website](https://nova.app/) The beautiful, fast, flexible, native Mac code editor from Panic. ### Sublime Text $99 | [Website](https://www.sublimetext.com/) | [Homebrew](https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/sublime-text) Sophisticated text editor for code, html and prose - any kind of text file. --- ## Up-and-coming Still a bit rough around the edges, these apps are in development but showing a lot of promise.

Open source. Free forever. *CodeEdit is currently in development and not yet ready for production use. You can test the latest [alpha build](https://github.com/CodeEditApp/CodeEdit/releases/latest) if you would like, but be warned, you will find many bugs and incomplete features.* ### Pulsar Free | Open Source | [Website](https://pulsar-edit.dev/) | [GitHub](https://github.com/pulsar-edit/pulsar) | [Homebrew](https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/pulsar#default) A Community-led hyper-hackable text editor, forked from [Atom](https://github.blog/2022-06-08-sunsetting-atom/), built on [Electron](https://github.com/electron/electron). Designed to be deeply customizable, but still approachable using the default configuration. --- The list is of course very incomplete, considering the amount of text/code editors available. Let me know what you use and I'll add it.

    The smaller communities for specific interests (music genres, hobbies, etc).

    Reviews and opinions. With Google results becoming worse by the hour, fake reviews flooding Amazon, paid reviews in almost every site/blog, when I'm about to purchase something I'm not 100% sure about I just search reddit to see what actual people are saying about it.

    And last but not least - mostly sane discussions for news/articles with nested comments and a voting system. Lemmy already offers everything needed for that, what remains to be seen is how the community develops and grows.
