9 hidden features in VLC you might not know about
“If you’re one of the millions who already know that VLC is one of the best media players around, maybe you also know a few of the hidden things on this list. But if you’ve never experienced one of the best open-source media players to replace Windows Media Player in your daily routine, you’re in for a treat.”
VLC is an amazing app with its cross-platform support, multilingual UI, and many features packed into it. I knew about the streaming option as I’ve used it to view my Wi-Fi cams before, but oddly enough, I always wondered about why there is no scrubbing options on the UI. Well, this article below put that wonder to rest — it’s actually quite simple to scrub back and forth. I’d also never used the subtitle downloading before.
Prolong Laptop Battery Life in Linux by Limiting Charging Levels
“In case you didn’t know it already, regularly charging the battery to 100% or fully discharging it puts your battery at stress and may lead to poor battery life in the long run. Well, to control the battery charging on Linux, you have a few options:
- KDE Plasma has this as an in-built feature. That’s why KDE is
- GNOME has extensions for this. Typical GNOME thing.
- There are command line tools to limit battery charging levels. Typical Linux thing
”
It is well worth using these available settings if you use Linux on a laptop. The article linked below goes into more detail on how to use each option.

Tymczasem w polskiej części blogaska przetłumaczyłem artykuł @rysiek o kilku rzeczach, które spora część z nas (ja też) powinna wziąć sobie do serca w tych pokręconych współczesnych czasach.
Trochę śmiesznie tłumaczyć z angielskiego na polski coś, co napisał Polak, ale artykuł jest mądry i ważny.

We started this account less than 6 months ago. It's going pretty well – thanks to you: 4.2k followers, lots of interactions, questions, and comments. 🎉
A couple of weeks ago, the European Broadcasting Union (#EBU) asked us to write a guest article about our experience with #Mastodon / the #Fediverse, explain the basics, and point out the advantages.
Challenge accepted. 👍
So here's the finished post by @lxplm, hot off the #blog press. ⌨️

When people say you should "own your own data", or that the future of the web is "ownership", what does that mean?
We need to talk about digital ownership.

The synchronization of comments from my Mastodon account. It's something I tried and abandoned, but I'm giving it another try after reading your comments. Well, I explain more on the blog and also share the source code:

I just published my first post on the Open Earth Foundation tech blog.

Reflections from Confoo.ca
Last week, I represented OEF at the Confoo.ca event in Montreal. Confoo is a regional Open Source conference, focused on Quebec and Canada in general. But there are attendees from the Northeast US, France, and other parts of Europe.evanp (Open Earth Foundation Tech Team)
It might be a good time to take a look at WriteFreely (https://writefreely.org/) and their hosted services Write.as (https://write.as/) and WriteFreely Host (https://writefreely.host/) and consider owning your own #blog on the fediverse instead of contributing to the walled gardens of the folks who bequeathed you Twitter.
I built an entire website to aggregate our mutual tweets via #RSS, back when Twitter still had real RSS support. (The slow death of Twitter RSS was the beginning of the end.)
But my #blog post about it is still live! https://www.alexandrasamuel.com/relationships/we-tweet-6-ways-twitter-can-strengthen-your-love
And my campaign worked! https://web.archive.org/web/20100207104752/http://shortyawards.com/category/bestcouple

Just installed Friendica on our #LAMP account. Not sure what to do next, how to get a "feed" full of "content". I'm into #data #transparency and #left politics, #python and #ruby programming, applied #math, doing #mastodon @n8chz and I #blog at https://astoundingteam.com/wordpress
The "search" field is magical: it can look up remote users or services, too!
For example one can follow a #writefreely #blog by searching for the "user" it's publishing on, like @globally-echoing-notes
It works because that service offers an AP compatible protocol.
Ich richte mir in squeet.me einen zweiten Account ausschließlich für mein Blog ein. Ist das so möglich? Ich frage mal vorsorglich, weil ich einen Blog in der Form bisher auf Friendica/squeet.me noch nicht gesehen habe.
Auch Leser, die das Fediverse nicht nutzen, könnten mir meines Wissens folgen und mein Blog per Feedreader abonnieren. Ist das richtig?
