“…could’ve made it but it’s cozy in the rut…”


Everyone suggests Peertube here, yet nobody uses it.
I think the biggest problem is that it’s not integrated nicely. Only Piefed and maybe some Lemmy apps have an embedded player, which allows you to play the video without leaving the site. But most people will still have to open the link in a new tab, which is especially inconvenient on mobile apps. When I see a Peertube link, most of the time I don’t even bother opening it. Another issue is that if you want to upload a video, you first have to find a good instance and then create an account to do so.
And even then, OP was looking for a site that allows direct linking (which would play natively in every app), something that Peertube does not allow. And most of the sites he mentioned, allow uploading without an account.
So I think that Peertube is not a good suggestion here. At least not yet.


Yeah it sucks, and you cannot get good search results anywhere.
Not that you have many different options anyways…
Lemmy search is only searching for exact text you searched for. There is somewhat useful option to search only post titles.
Piefed search at least has some filters (nsfw, post type, instance software, minimum score…) and search operators (and, or, not…) but it doesn’t have the search only post titles option.
Sometimes searching in google and just appending “lemmy” to your query will give surprisingly good result and sometimes it will return nothing.
Searxng has the search !bang for lemmy posts !lepo, which gives more or less the same results as lemmys search.


croc
https://github.com/schollz/croc
Send files over the internet.
It’s a small (several MB) CLI tool, that you download and run on both devices (sending and receiving one)
Type croc send [file(s)-or-folder] , you get the code phrase that you send to the person receiving the file.
On receiving device you type croc code-phrase and the file starts transferring.
End-to-end encrypted, and no need for port forwarding since it’s sent over the relay (you can even host your own relay).


Cryptomator + Any well known cloud storage provider (https://fmhy.net/file-tools#cloud-storage)


How viable would that be? Can it also just run in the background like the actual app?


Would it be possible to run Syncthing in Termux?


I think you might have downloaded a fake Newpipe…


I use Linkding too, it’s very light and it’s great, I only wish it had the exclude tag filter and no tag filter. That would make it perfect.


Just a smoother and faster experience. No dead links, no slow downloads, no files that are separated into multiple parts…
You get a VPN and you don’t have to worry about “getting caught”. Private trackers just further elevate that experience and get you access to better content.


I’d lose that one day after buying it.


What are those?


Wouldn’t bet on it.
Find alternative… Modded Apollo, or Winston looks cool.


One trick for a better fingerprint recognition is to set 2+ fingers but scan only one finger for all of them.
This may or may not also increase the likelihood of someone else succesfully unlocking your phone with their own fingerprint.


What does FUTO use? It works pretty good (based on my limited testing) and it works offline.
Check the pinned post on !lemmyapps@lemmy.world, it has all the apps for each platform listed.


Unfortunately no.
I don’t think there is a FOSS one that supports it.


I only use FOSS ones. I hop between florisboard and unexpected keyboard, and I gave heliboard a shot again recently because it has the swipe/glide typing but I couldn’t stick with it because I was missing other features, so I’m back on floris.
Since I only use open source keyboards, I’m not really concerned about privacy…so no blocking of internet access.
I also thought about trying out the clipboard history, and also am wondering if it’s safe…
If you want to try FOSS keyboard again, HeliBoard is your best bet.
Initially made an account on lemmy.ml in 2022. I was eyeing the fediverse, and when I found that there is a “reddit alternative”, I wanted to check it out, but there wasn’t much activity so I didn’t use it much other than checking on it occasionally.
Then in 2023 I made an account on tchncs…when majority of users also hopped on lemmy.
