F-droid is what Android could have been if the industry cared more about users than ecosystems in c/android@lemdro.id

What makes Fdroid trash exactly? My experience is really positive, so I don't understand your sentiment.

What are some programs/tools/packages that you can't live without? in c/linux4noobs@programming.dev

For audio work, I use 4 programs: LMMS, yt-dlp, demucs, and audacity

My workflow usually goes yt-dlp to download audio/samples, then either audacity and demucs. Audacity I use for splicing the clips I need, and if its necessary, I use demucs to split stems either on the full song before splicing clips with audacity or splitting stems after getting the clips I want. I then use LMMS to sample and layer drums and other samples usually.

Is your firewall preventing outbound requests from random ports on ur computer?

How would you design parallel grep for huge JSONL files? in c/programming@programming.dev

Could u use an already parallelized solution like ripgrep? I think someone else also mentioned putting it in a database, that shouldnt be too bad either.

How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] ExperimentalGuy@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

I really like this approach. The only problem I see with this is that the measure of center you're using for the calculation would have to be chosen well. Maybe a weighted average towards lower incomes or using a median, but properly choosing the measure of center would be really important along with verifying that a linear increase or decrease in percentage is also the best solution.

I think figuring out the rate at which taxation should increase relative to ones income should be the first step, then mapping that onto a set of equations that could calculate taxes would be the best approach.

If I have a PC with Windows on it, how can I parallel install Linux so I can start playing around with that? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.ca

This is the beat option. Also make sure if you're considering fully switching to see if any of the software you're using is supported on Linux or has an alternative.

what open source tools do you use for music? in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] ExperimentalGuy@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

In LMMS you can import samples and it has VST support, so it is a pretty featured DAW

How have you made art with code? (programming.dev)
 

I saw the post earlier about making maps using Python. I thought that was a really cool concept as I love seeing open art projects like that. Do you know any other projects that allow you to make art with code?

Consumer Rights Wiki (consumerrights.wiki)
 

Saw this and figured others would like to know that this exists. Its basically a wiki that details the consumer rights goods and bass of different companies and products. Its still a work in progress, so if you have anything to contribute, feel free!

FOSS Alternative to Privacy? (programming.dev)
 

Are there any FOSS alternatives to privacy.com? I want to conceal my actual card information when registering with a new account on different platforms so I can create limits, but I can't shake the feeling that privacy.com probably just sells my transaction history. If there's any alternatives to privacy.com that are more transparent, I'd love to know!

How do you implement API Keys? (programming.dev)
 

So I've had this idea for an API for a while but the problem I keep coming back to is authentication. I'm using rocket to actually code it. I looked through the rocket docs and it looks like the closest thing to API key authentication it has are cookies.

I then went and looked at some other APIs to see if I can copy their layouts and it looks like a lot of them use an API key and then a secret API key for authentication. Did some more googling and stackoverflow said that it's more secure to use a pair like that.

So that leaves me with the actual question: how do you actually implement this feature? Do you just generate API keys and throw them a database to be looked up later? Should they be written/read to a file to be used later(probably not a good option I'd guess).

Just for reference I'm using rocket, sqlx and postgres.

What makes Waterfox different? (programming.dev)
 

The first time I've heard about this browser was here on Lemmy maybe 20 minutes ago. A quick look at their webpage says that they use gecko as their web engine, but doesn't specify it bring a fork of Firefox.

To put this in context, most gecko based browsers I've heard about recently have also been Firefox forks. Is Waterfox a Firefox fork? And what does Waterfox do differently that should make people consider it more than Librewolf or another Firefox fork?

I've got a domain but whats next? (programming.dev)
 

I recently purchased a domain for myself as a why-the-fuck-not purchase and I need some ideas for what to put on there. Some ideas so far include: Small Blog Personal S/FTP server to sync back to Minecraft server

Does anyone have other ideas? Thanks :)

Best fuzzing tool (programming.dev)
 

I'm trying to find a good fuzzing tool for testing my web applications and was wondering what people would recommend. I'm trying to find one that is open source, free, and doesn't use proprietary stuff. It seems like Google's OSSFuzz is the closest option to what I'm looking for, but it uses Google cloud :/
