If you’re using Obsidian for free then maybe try the built-in link which you’ll find in the built-in options I think. It’s a cost option but cheap. I think it eliminates the problems I’m having (below). I’m stubborn.

I’m not having problem with Syncthing, bar dealing with the stupid attempts to deal with deleted files that Android leaves laying around. I have .stignore files with .trashed-* and .trash/ entries on the Linux machine. Still having problems with _ed directories though and Syncthing conflict files when the sync isn’t fast enough when I switch between the two.

Sometimes it takes Syncthing a while to work out the best route between the two nodes. Sometimes days. It used to send my packets to the internet before letting them back into the local network. Eventually it found a more direct route between them. I’m not sure but I think it has something to do with local IPv6; I’m talking out of my ass though.

I’m not affiliated to Syncthing or Obsidian besides being a happy user.

I have decent battery life on my Pixel 7 Pro. I have the respect battery save setting on so syncing stops at 20% or so I think.

Thank you for thinking forward. That’s much appreciated.

I’m surprised to find there isn’t much of a delay to loading the data from Oz. I’m sure I remember it being horrific not so long ago.

I don’t know, I’m not familiar with kbin at all. Good to know I’m not alone in that thinking, though.

It would have helped me. My instance isn’t in the same hemisphere as me!

At last.

The most 'Mercan thing on the internet today.

Make it look like a centralised system initially. Provide a portal to a pre vetted/chosen instance that is accepting new members in their locale/country, that is the same for everyone.

Update: This (above) is badly written. I’m trying to say every potential new member gets presented with the same (pretend centralised) portal that is in fact an (valid long-lived) instance local to the individual potential for them to sign up with. So two local users in Oz get given a proxy to the instance local to them, and a user in Blighty an instance local to that person. The decentralised Lemmy looks centralised, but isn’t. The proxy front end should explain that they’re joining their local instance and it’s like a network of little affiliated clubs that can see each others posts globally. they log in for the first time it will become clear.

It’s late, I’m tired, sorry everyone. Is that any better?

I think it’s confusing (the reverse of what they’re used to) for a newbie who have been bought up in a centralised internet with single front ends of all the big players to be presented with little instances to join to access the whole.

Thank-you for this. Another song I’m like but didn’t have in my library! How did that happen?

What happened to libdvdcss? Is that not a thing anymore?

From what I remember - it’s been a minute - there were many encryption keys that the publishing houses used to encrypt the DVDs released to the wild and they were packaged up in this codec, when they were found.

Phew! Thought I was having an old-fcuk moment.

Have a good’un.

I’m being dim. I can’t find it by searching for that community even.

Clicking on the link in the main message does not help.

Throw me a bone, please.

It is.

Force of habit from using another long ‘rested’ random app that didn’t have an easy way to open it in a browser. Share is my go to. Reeducation may be necessary.
