on OpenAI agents carried out an undisclosed attack on RubyGems, the package manager for Ruby. Over 2,000 malicious packages went up in 2 days. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Sep 2026
I have a really dumb question, but what is a gem?

Jellyfin for shows and movies, Chora for Navidrome Music, and it works as a perfect little access to your homeserver.
I haven’t found an Android box that runs without Google services.
Kodi on a Pi is just meh at best imo.

I use ONN Android boxes. Fairly inexpensive, but I think it’s difficult to set up without a Google account (you can create a dummy account on the setup).
Side-loading is trivial. Some favorite apps: TizenTube to replace YouTube (or any of a dozen or so frontends), Projectivy launcher to replace the awful default. Add an always on VPN.

I agree but how does RCS actually work? My understanding is that it is particularly difficult to implement.

on Corporate America Is Getting Hooked on Open-Source A.I. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 6 Sep 2026
Open-source is a stretch. Open weights are more like blobs. They run and can be used openly, but it’s not as though you can build it yourself. No way to know how it was trained or if the training was manipulated by various interests.

on Any good file sync server with web interface other than Nextcloud? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026
Yes? OP is specifically looking for something other than NextCloud. OwnCloud has basically zero bloat and in my experience is easier to set up than NextCloud.

Ah, yes. Anti-capitalist software like Yandex and Baidu are so much better…
What the world needs are federated, distributed systems like www, email, and the fediverse

on Any good file sync server with web interface other than Nextcloud? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026
I use OwnCloud, which was forked into NextCloud ages ago. I originally intended it as a temporary measure, but it has turned out to be a very reliable, no-frills but adequately featured fileserver. For example, it has file versioning, and companion apps on major OSs that help with managing local and cloud stored files.
If you want a dead simple option, CopyParty is amazing. It’s a 1MB Python file that is basically a Swiss Army knife of file hosting. FTP, web interface, WebDAV, SMB, etc., etc. It wont have system integrations or file versioning, but it’s impressive what it can do.
Edit: worth mentioning CopyParty has an in-browser media player, which is perfectly adequate for previews.

on Memory Prices Indefinitely High: SK Hynix Says Shortage Continues Through 2030 - PC Perspective in c/technology@lemmy.world · 1 Sep 2026
No, they are definitely ramping up production, just not nearly fast enough. Chip factories take longer to build than data centers.

on Memory Prices Indefinitely High: SK Hynix Says Shortage Continues Through 2030 - PC Perspective in c/technology@lemmy.world · 31 Aug 2026
The price is only high because of the artificial demand from all the data centers. Manufacturers are increasing production capacity to provide more supply. Once the bubble bursts, that demand will drop, but the production capacity will still be there. Supply and demand. Price will go down.

Sure, as long as you don’t account for the AI bubble ever bursting. After that, memory will be cheap. We’ll be living in an economic hellscape, but the memory will be cheap.

This is actually a really interesting article.
It looks at how social media has evolved, who owns it, and whether it is fundamentally still “social.”

on immich import tips in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 23 Aug 2026
Yes, there are a couple import tools for Google Takeout, and you should absolutely use one. I don’t recall if I used this particular tool, but it is strictly necessary to get a clean import.
Other examples:
Google Photos Takeout Helper - Readme includes detailed step by step instructions.
Takeout Helper Neo - a fork of the above with additional features
Photo Migrator - designed to work with multiple services

on The Quiet Decision Microsoft Made That Devastated Thousands of Nonprofits in c/technology@lemmy.world · 19 Aug 2026
Sure, this small and mid-size services are just fine for backing up your data, and should surely be used as such. But using “cloud services” is nonsense. Too bad it has such good marketing.

I’m increasingly convinced that “The Cloud” is just a scam. Just keep your own files.

Yes, exactly. Several photo gallery apps do this.

Once the technology exists, we need clanker laws.
Make it illegal to generate ML output without a positive watermark.

on I turned my streaming stick into a dumb app launcher, and that's all it should be in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Aug 2026
Projectivity is another great option, especially if you want a few more options without anything you don’t want.

on Meta Caught Paying Nazis to Post on Facebook in c/technology@lemmy.world · 9 Aug 2026
Meta’s “financial model is to reward content creators who get engagement, and as we know, the best way of getting engagement is to produce rage bait, extremist material, aggravating material: anything that will get people upset and arguing is the best way to get engagement.”
That tracks.

I was posting about these kind proton pricing shenanigans months ago and no one was listening.
