Maybe email is a better comparison for federated stuff than phpbb? You wouldn’t tell someone to ‘just get an email adress’. You’d recommend a specific email provider.

One problem with reporting private messages on Lermy is, as an admin i don’t see who sent the message. I only see who reported it. And i don’t have any actlon available, other than marking the report as handled.

with reported posts, i can ban the poster. With reported messages i’d have to ask the reporter who it was, trust their answer, search for the account manually and then i could ban. Not really efficient or fast if there ever was a spam wave.

of course sparmers could then just register a new account on a open instance and i might need to defederates which would lead to a fractured landscape of spammy open instances and likely inactive private instances.

there’s also not even rudimantary spam filtering in lemmy.

The main saving grace is that Lemmy is too small to attract a ton of spam yet.

maybe some of the above is just due my pick of clients (jerboa and the web interface), and there’s better tools? If so, i’d love to hear. But as things stand right now, there’s a lot to be desired

Also useful in this regard, python comes with a sìmple file server built in, python -m http.server --directory /dir/ would serve /dir/ on port 8000.

You misunderstand, the first two commands are just one time setup to install a specific python version and then to create an env using that version. After that all you need is `pyenv activate myenv´ to drop you into that env, which will use the correct python version and make sure everything is isolated from other environments you might have.

You can also just create an env with the system python version, but the question was specifically about managing multiple versions of python side by side and this makes that super easy.

You could also combine it with direnv to automatically drop you into the correct environment based on the folder you are in, so you don’t have to type anything after the initial setup.

pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv together solves this for me. Virtualenv with specific python versions that work together well with other tools like pip or poetry.

It boils down to something like

$ pyenv install 3.12.7
$ pyenv virtualenv 3.12.7 myenv
$ pyenv activate myenv

and at that point you can do regular python stuff like pip installing etc.

Have you tried Jellyfin? It’s a FOSS fork of emby, so pretty much a drop in replacement and it’s been working very well for me.

Personally I use jellyfin as a backend, with the web interface and jellyfin app as frontend. Plus Kodi as an additional frontend for my beamer, with the Kodi Jellyfin plugin and Yatse remote to make it feel more like a TV.

one way to do this from within python itself would be to use the site module with pth files to monkeypatch the code in question. This would amount to patching it each time it gets started, not modifying the python file permanently, and without having to touch the original python code at all.

This write-up goes into more details and also links to this (unmaintained) tool for doing so.

You can get Fusion360 to work okay-ish in Wine. Probably not good enough for professional use but for my hobby use case it works well enough (sometimes a bit laggy but usable). this does most of the heavy lifting in getting it installed.

there’s a lot of stuff you can do, and you can end up with something usable, though not great, at least not in my experience. NVidia’s drivers are to blame, they don’t really work well with opengl and have lots of issues (and also regressions).

The 550 beta driver is ok-ish, steam flickers but I can play games. Drivers before 535 also somewhat worked, though it really depends on your GPU.

But I don’t think you will have it working acceptably without some work.

Here’s some pointers on stuff to try:

• check protondb for how other people got games to work, you can filter by your GPU.
• try running through gamescope or gamemoderun
• try the modeset=1 (and maybe fbdev) kernel parameters for nvidia drm
• and there’s tons of env vars and other things that can help, I couldn’t summarize them all here, but as a pointer: XWAYLAND_NO_GLAMOR=1, WLR_RENDERER=vulkan, LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia, GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm (for the drm above), __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
• try the beta drivers, if those are available somehow (I’m on arch so they were easy to install), or just different driver versions in general.

The above is meant more as hints than something to copy paste, so use at your own risk. You can of course always just install a second DE with X11 and log into that for gaming and use your regular DE for everything else
