Dude, I have YouTube music and I literally am not able to change or upgrade to YouTube premium. They don’t let me, it links me to a useless empty page with no options. I don’t even know what the price is like. This whole subscription thing is a mess.

I solved it by using YouTube revanced and have all premium functions and more. On desktop I wrote my own player. It’s so much better because their website is a mess. At this point do I really want to pay for features I know I won’t use?

Yep, the api in jellyfin is quite easy. Someone already sent the link to the docs. The specific endpoint you want is Sessions. You need to get yourself an api_key which you can get in the admin panel. Here is an example code in Python to give you an idea on how to use the api:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import requests

response = requests.get("http://your_jellyfin_server:8096/Sessions?api_key=your_api_key")
json = response.json()

currently_watching = []
for session in json:
    if "NowPlayingItem" in session:
        currently_watching.append(session["UserName"])

if currently_watching:
    print("Currently watching: " + ", ".join(currently_watching))
else:
    print("Nobody is watching")

If it is indeed Python that you want to use, you can adjust it to your needs depending on what you want it to output.

Basically, it is as simple as looping through every current session and checking if they have a NowPlayingItem key which is only present when they have a video open (both playing and paused). It works very reliability, I am using it to automatically change my lights when I watch a long video or movie.

The --delete flag is already in there so it should empty the camera_backup folder, but the robocopy will copy every single photo back into it the next run.

Ah, I am not familiar at all with Windows, so I honestly wouldn’t know. Does the Immich CLI even work on Windows?

But going off by the comments and the parts I understand, I guess it could kinda work, assuming that the arguments are all correct. Although, it will try to upload all photos every time, regardless if Immich already has them or not. Which is not ideal but I believe Immich will filter out duplicated photos. But it’s worth checking if it’s indeed smart enough to do that.

For the Immich command it will upload the files to an album called “Camera_Backup”. Not sure if that’s what you want. If not, then remove the -a flag. If you want to upload it to a specific album, then instead add ‘-A albumname’ (edit: I realize I might be wrong here. If you have multiple folders in Syncthing you’re backing up it will work differently)

I understand you. I also don’t use the auto upload feature as it’s creating more problems for me to solve than what it fixes. I already had Syncthing running anyway so I currently use that combo (except I manually sort through my photos on a semi-weekly basis before I upload it to Immich).

If you want, I can cook up a little Python script you could stick into Cron to do all the tasks you described. I haven’t worked with the Immich CLI yet but I’m sure I can figure it out. Send me a message if you’re interested. I will probably use it myself as well.

Yeah but instead of a function you just make it an alias.

Isn’t this the same effect as just running ‘sudo !!’ ?

I love that idea, and I’d love to implement that. But I honestly can never figure out how people are working with services that enables the user to change settings (for example, to set their location to get their local weather) while still maintaining a read-only system.

With ublock origin I haven’t encountered popups for weeks. They update pretty much every day to keep on top of the YouTube changes.

The only time I really got popups was when another extention I had was making ad changing modifications to YouTube which I didn’t realize at that time.

Yeah, kde connect can control media players on your desktop and automatically pause them when a call comes in. To make it work with Firefox I do now realise it might be limited to kde desktops only though. But if you have that, all you need is to install the plasma integration extension for Firefox (which does a couple of cool things) and then kde connect can see Firefox’s media as well.

The first time it paused my YouTube video inside Firefox when a call came in on my phone, it blew my mind. And then when the call ended, it just casually resumed the video. I love it. That, the clipboard syncing and easy sharing of files between devices make it absolutely awesome to have.

Isn’t app development a recurring cost? It’s not like you just work on it for a bit and just forget about it once you got a version out. Especially if it’s using a service (lemmy) that is still in development and is constantly changing.

I get that on hot after only 5 posts. Everything after that is a minimum of 1 year old, and only the first 3-5 post are recent. It’s kinda funny reading the comments on those posts as there are a lot of lost people commenting on it right now, thinking it’s something recent.

I don’t know about it. Look even at the usernames. It’s @name@instance.addr, it’s structured like an email. Even for instances, /c/piracy is not a thing, it is !piracy@lemmy.ml in Lemmy world. Even Mastadon has the same structure of name@instance.

Every community has their own sets of rules, own set of moderators and culture. If you don’t like how one is moderated, go to another one (basically how reddit works too, except there you need to change to name to make an alternate community)

Regarding not being able to make new communities: We’re all federated. What’s wrong with making a community on a different instance with your lemmy.ml account?

I would definitely unplug it. If you, someone else, or perhaps even a pet accidentally closes the door and it turns on with nobody realizing it bad things can happen. It will basically microwave itself and if you leave it running long enough it creates a big fire risk. It is a small mistake to make with a high risk.

I know that feeling lol.

I have a love/hate relationship with my Google speaker. Some examples that have happened:

“Hey google, set the temperature to 21 degrees”

google: “Sure. Setting the heater to 71 degrees!”

And

me: hey google, start a timer for ten minutes

google: okay, starting a 10 minute timer

me: perfect

google: okay, consider it cancelled

me: …

Might I point out the reason why people might react so offended by it? You have your opinions. And that is fine. Nobody can tell you your opinions are invalid. But if you look back to your message, your opinions are stated as hard facts:

They’re often very loud

they demand your attention constantly

they’re always in your space

Dogs are just exhausting.

I understand what you mean with this. But it kind of reads similar to someone saying something like “All Americans are dumb”. And then when everyone gets offended by it they be like “It’s just my opinion, why is everyone angry at me?”. And of course people get angry, You get all the responses from people who have an American friend, and THAT person isn’t dumb! So of course your facts are invalid!

Anyway. Not a dig at you in any way. Thought I’d just let you know how it reads.

I’m not the person you’re replying to but I have a fun answer for how I did it before I moved to password managers.

I used to have just a single password, normal-ish password. Reasonable length, some numbers in there, random caps. But in order for me to have unique passwords on every site without losing track of all the passwords, I added the first and last letter of the name of the service at a specific point inside the password. My password was cryptic enough that if you would see it you wouldn’t immediately notice it. But for me it meant I had a single strong password that was easy to remember and unique for every service.

I’m still kind of proud of that one, even though I don’t use that method anymore.

See my response a few comments down this thread. I found the counter and password-template too. I don’t have an iphone so I can’t test the app, but I very much think this app stores the ‘settings’ (counter, template) to generate the password. Based on what the api and CLI can do… it has to, surely. It also has the ability to retrieve a custom password.

Of course the webapp in the link doesn’t do all of that. You’re stuck with 1 password in 1 format. Unless you change your secret and then all your passwords change.
