how to blacklist (or better, whitelist) languages? also countries or subjects?

Lately I've been seeing a huge amount of new Lemmy subs in different languages, or subs specifically about certain regions, countries, etc.

I very much applaud this growth, and think it's awesome that so many more people can enjoy posts in their own languages.

Having said that, 50% of the posts I see now are in languages that I don't remotely speak, are specifically and only for countries on the other side of the world for me, or are about subjects I really am not interested in ) mainly anime.. so much anime...

I keep blocking these subs when I see them but they show up faster than I can plug them, and my blocklist ia getting larger and larger and honestly bits becoming a nuisance

Is there a way to at least whitelist languages? I speak a good amount of languages but giving me twenty posts in twenty different languages is just... Not working

Also, if we could perhaps tag subs with labels like "news" and "anime" I could then whitelist or blacklist those tags that I like

Is there anything like that available on Lemmy?

psychedelics vs weed

Regular weed user here.

If I'd have to describe my average weed experience in a few words, it would be fun, warm, soft, calm, soft fuzzy blanket

If I'd have to describe my few psychedelic experiences similarly (mushrooms only), it would be cold, hard, sharp, alone and from one horror trip (I was given way too much and after hours of nothing, smoked a little weed which I regretted 10 seconds later) chaos, mayhem, extreme loneliness from being the only person alive in the universe

Wife has similar experiences and after our last fucked up trip vowed to never again try it.

Are these experiences typical? I see so many positive experiences but I hated the cold and lonely feeling I had with it every time. How could I have a pleasant trip with shrooms, or say, lsd even?

Nikon P1100 for beginner

Hi there,

I'm a beginner photography enthusiast who loves playing with zoom

I've been looking for a camera to start with and I found the Nikon P1100. 125x zoom, and about as far as it goes with a camera with built in zoom lens.

So with that in mind, is this a good camera? What else should I keep in mind? I know it's a little heavy because it's bulky and that's fine. I'll probably go for a number of accessories like a tripod, extra batteries and storage and whatnot, anything I might need to start with that you normally don't directly think of?

Thanks for a great community!

Trying to take a break and experiencing issues

So I've been taking gummies for about 2 years, smoking weed for about 1 year and the last 6 months I've had to smoke more and more to the point that I would smoke a complete huge joint to get a small high, and that three times a day.

Basically I went from feeling always normal and getting high to relax and enjoy to feeling always anxious and needing to get high to feel normal.

I decided to take a month break and after that maybe resume only on weekends

I'm 5 days in now and I gotta say it's been mostly okay-ish with the biggest symptoms being extreme exhaustion and weight loss. Is this normal?

I wake up, feel fine, jump out of bed, get dressed quickly to walk the dog and I'm exhausted for the next half hour and I just need to sit or even lie down. Then I suddenly feel better and I can walk around and nothing happens but if I remotely exert myself, say, I make the bed, I feel like my body crashes and I need to lie down for half an hour.

Basically I have energy for about 60 seconds to do something semi intensive, then I crash

Appetite is low, i need to stuff food in my face to eat, i dont feel like i want to eat.

I've lost quite a bit of weight, went from 89kgs (say 178 pounds or so?) to 85 (170 pounds)

Is any of this normal, and if it is, how long will this last until I feel normal again?

Plugin to automatically kill tabs that are stuck at 100% CPU usage

So I regularly see issues in Firefox where pages from certain websites (Hello amazon.ca!) shoot to 100% CPU utilization and just never stop.

I'm wondering, is there a plugin that could periodically check the FF process list and identify tabs that are misbehaving like this (or in other ways, extreme memory consumption, perhaps?) and perform configurable actions like "Reload page (GET only of course) on tab" or "Kill tab" ?

It would be helpful because I see this issue on a daily basis, regularly to the point where these tabs are causing problems.

I already have "Auto tab discard" that discards unused tabs, but I'd like this as an extra feature, or a separate plugin.

Anyone who knows what could be useful?

(bug) Jellyfin keeps playing the wrong language even when the right one is selected

On server 10.11.3, using latest client version on Google TV

So when I start watching something, I may have a set of languages, say English, Russian, Japanese. I check the language selected, it -correctly- says English. Great! Press play, and I hear Russian.

I then go and select any different language, select English again, and now I do hear English

Does anyone else have this bug and is the a known fix?

saving pictures has been broken for months now

As the title says.

Saving pictures and videos worked since a long time but since about a month or two, it would freeze up connect and make it crash.

Then a next version fixed it, then a subsequent version broke it again and it has been broken ever since, even after multiple new versions

Any idea when this might be fixed?

Edit: this is on Android v1.0.275 but has been broken in many other versions before that for at least like 2 months now

Loads of problems with Jellyfin

So I've been trying to use Jellyfin for a long, LONG time now, and I've never really been able to use it remotely reliable.

I can go on for a long time about all the problems I've faced, lets just say that after years I can still not use it to watch something with the family because there is always something not working, I could start about hardware decoding having worked for a while and then suddenly without explanation no longer working, but lets start with subtitles...

I just want to have subtitles actually load without having to sacrifice a goat to whatever god is out there to have subtitles work. What is the problem that subtitles just 99% of the time don't work?

Worse, sometimes they work while watching a show, and a jellyfin update comes by and, you guessed it, subtitles no longer work for that show, even though they work for some other movies, sometimes...

I am a software engineer, I do loads of devops, I can find my way around, but jellyfin is just... I dunno what to do anymore. Is there a reliable alternative, perhaps, that actually just works?

I've long given up on the dream that I could have something similar to netflix for all my movies and shows that aren't on netflix, where I can scrub with images, for example, I just want to be able to watch a show with the family with subtitles without fiddling for 30 minutes to try and get it to work.

Current setup is google-tv with 0.17.9 client, and the latest docker server. Shows seem to have okay subtitles on web client, but on google-tv, every time I select a subtitle, I get a "subtitles loading" message, and then 10-20 seconds later a "failed to load subtitles" message.

Anyone?

so I'm back with Netflix and Amazon...

So I'm back with Netflix and Amazon. I'm kind of done with jellyfin at this point. I've been recommending it to everyone and honestly I'm not sure that I still would.

Jellyfin as a product simply doesn't work. There, I said it.

For a media system I'd hope for the basics to be able to play a movie or show with subtitles, selecting audio channels, and scrubbing and it to remember where I was left. I wouldn't even need posters and all that, I'd get my own subtitles, etc.

I have multiple TVs, but let's go with the old one with a chrome cast. I use my Android phone to cast a show episode. Scrubbing sometimes works. it works better than before because before it would just break everything to the point of the app requiring a reinstall. At least that's fixed now but scrubbing still is SLOW, 10 seconds ahead takes 20-30 seconds to do. Worse though, it borks up subtitles by leaving the subtitles that were there when you started scrubbing, and places the new ones on top of that. The only way out is to exit casting completely, kill the app, restart all from scratch. Obviously JF doesn't continue where I stopped (seriously, requests on that timeframe were made, it can't be that hard to register that, can it?) and so I need to scrub again which, you know, borks up subtitles. So I'll start just from the beginning, I can rewatch the same 5 minutes twice but it annoys the hell out of my wife.

Then, subtitles is a mess. The above, but also switching subtitles will cause similar issues. Don't touch anything when having subtitles!

Then: it's slow. It's godunholy slow. I have a 16 core and Rhyzen 5 cpu, 64gb men @3200mhz, 1tb M2 Samsung Evo 989 pro, and ~60tb over 3 exos drives. An AMD rx7800 XT finishes up the config. It's not the best of the best, but my system, u believe, ranks in the higher ranks of jellyfin installations

Jellyfin cannot play a movie or show without stuttering at least a few times, flat out freezing for minutes during shows, especially in the second episode for that day... If I run transmission in parallel, it just freezes up so much that it's undoable.

Logs don't indicate any major issue, I saw a freeze and had all logs on tail and literally saw no messages whatsoever during that freeze. System utilization was near zero.

Wife isnt tolerating jellyfin anymore and now I have Netflix and Amazon accounts again.

I understand it's open source software, you do what you can, but right now it simply isn't a system that is for the general public. It can be used by nerds like me who have the patience to deal with all the issues.

Edit: Really? 17 downvotes? I'm trying to tell you that the thing doesn't work and that I've spent plenty of time trying to fix it, reading docs, posting questions, nothing has fixed anything so far but can't have people talk about that, or what's wrong?
