GravitySpoiled , to Privacy in Replacement for Firefox?

Firefox can display x265. Do you use the flatpak version? If so, create a bug report.

If not, search for enable x265 on firefox and install the codecs.

Whats the log in plex?

Norgur OP ,
@Norgur@fedia.io avatar

Holy… why the fuck would this be disabled? And why the fuck didn't I find this information in the first place?!

To all wondering:
change

media.wmf.hevc.enabled

To 1 in about:config, restart browser, done.

Thanks, mate

The reason is software patents and asinine licensing for HEVC. Thank the greedy fucks in suits for that.

Norgur OP ,
@Norgur@fedia.io avatar

So it can be implemented but not enabled? Weird shit, man

Ephera ,

Could be that Firefox downloads the codec after you enable that. At least, I've heard of it being implemented like that in other software...

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

AFAIK, this is a Windows-specific option which requires the user to have purchased a license for the Windows HEVC decoder on the windows store.

Sounds like you had an XY problem

Story of my life. Fortunately, now that I'm older, I often catch myself and provide the context. But not always.

GravitySpoiled ,

That's nice. Thanks for the link

Well, I thought I had ruled out X as solution, so I didn't ask about it in the first place <insert hide the pain Harold here>

I've had the same issue. I just use AV1 now. AV1 video + Opus audio in WebM container. Seems like a good combination.

Handbrake supports it too.

What's wrong with ungoogled-chromium?

GolfNovemberUniform ,
@GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml avatar

No advanced tracking mitigation by default maybe?

dukethorion ,
@dukethorion@lemmy.one avatar

OP wanted a Chromium browser that wasn't a massive privacy invasion. With Google stuff removed, it'll be good enough. Add uBO and ClearURLs.

@GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml avatar

Ungoogled Chromium doesn't have extension store support by default

DaveedMee ,
@DaveedMee@beehaw.org avatar

it tells u how to get extensions at the first start and its literally just 4 clicks to setup

GolfNovemberUniform ,
@GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes but 1. It's not the default 2. It kills some privacy stuff afaik

ReversalHatchery ,

I don't think that ungoogling chromium is to much use. For a start, take the points given by uBlock Origin's developer: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox

I'm sure there are more details where, where it's not that Firefox is better, but that chromium is worse. Chromium is not only tainted by embedded google services, but by many design decisions of google.

Librewolf is my go-to

eager_eagle , to Privacy in Replacement for Firefox?
@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

also, that's windows only

Supported for devices with hardware support (the range is the same as Edge) on Windows only. Enabled by default in Nightly and can be enabled via the media.wmf.hevc.enabled pref in about:config. 10-bit or higher colors are not supported.

royalties are really great, innit?

GravitySpoiled ,

On fedora you have to install the codecs yourself 😅

Iirc, Opensuse solves the issue by installing firefox after the OS was installed.

PopOfAfrica , to Privacy in Replacement for Firefox?

I quite like the Falkon Browser by KDE. Definately need to use Greesemonkey scripts to replace some simple extensions tho.

Iirc signal has something you can host for the communications of strangers.

tyler OP ,
@tyler@fedia.io avatar

I know you can set up a self-hosted Signal server, but I'm not aware of any relay/proxy type apps

Neon ,

No, not a server. You can't even use those with the official App iirc

They mean proxies

Signal even made a blog post about it

Interesting, never heard of this before... more powerful than a looking glass. Neat

Oh man it's been a while, but I used to be super interested in getting an Air Quality Monitor going. There's definitely ones that can seed their data to public databases.

I host wikis for local advocacy work. I plan to host other static sites, and I'm building a tool to get better transit schedules in a simple webpage. Hosting Mobilizon is on my list to do as well.

Inductor , to Selfhosted in Self-Hosting to help a community?

If you decide to set up an SDR for ADS-B, you might want to consider setting up a WebSDR with something like OpenWebRX. This would let people listen to all the signals in the bandwidth that you set.

If you're interested, receiverbook.de is a list of most WebSDRs.

tyler OP ,
@tyler@fedia.io avatar

That is neat.

Not that I do it myself, but I belive with an SDR dongle you could contribute to both aircraft tracking and naval tracking. Big communities out there for this at least.

tyler OP ,
@tyler@fedia.io avatar

yup :) Already doing that.

lemmyingly ,

Hopefully you're not feeding https://globe.adsbexchange.com/

It was an open community and then the person who ran the server sold it to a corporation for over a million dollars. I believe the community strongly dislikes the person and spun up their own website and server https://globe.airplanes.live/

drkt ,
@drkt@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Good to know!

AmbiguousProps ,

I feed to https://adsb.fi for this reason.

lemmyingly ,

I've got nothing against the owner of adsb.fi, but the owner pulled their data out of the community and wanted to go solo... or that's the stories I've heard, which might be biased against the owner.

Cupcake1972 ,

I believe the community strongly dislikes the person and spun up their own website and server https://globe.airplanes.live/

Is the adsb.fi site connected to it in any way or are the two separate communities?

lemmyingly ,

Adsb.fi and airplanes.live were once in the same Discord server and worked together for several months rebuilding the community when adsbexchange sold out. I believe the original plan was to create a community where no one person could sell out and rug pull all of the donated data again, but I believe the owner of adsb.fi, Samuli, decided to take his data out of the community and go solo.

I've only heard one side of the story and so it might be biased against Samuli.

I would join his Discord server as well but I've used all of my server slots. It's a bit ridiculous of Discord to limit the servers a person can join, especially those who pay $10 for Discord nitro.

tyler OP ,
@tyler@fedia.io avatar

I was picky about the ones I feed to.. community ones I feed to are adsb.fi, adsb.lol, airplanes.live, plane.watch, opensky-network, and on the commercial side, flight radar 24 and fightaware, both give premium access for feeding, which is nice.

Weather underground is owned by IBM now

Anyone know of a community driven, non-profit weathet platform we can share weather station data with?
