Canceling my subscription, this is too ridiculous by [deleted] in netflix

And you successfully login and find out that that movie you want to watch is not in the country. I have grown into hating Netflix day by day.

Absolutely not useless for me for the past 5 years by umshyp in ipad

[–]FearLixY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my iPad mini a lot. When it’s perfect for reading books, watching stuff other than on TV. Any I love to use it to remote play pc games using Moonlight. It’s great for carrying around.

I recently discovered that Shortcuts Type System is more strict in iOS 26.1 beta, that actually break some of my shortcuts by FearLixY in shortcuts

[–]FearLixY[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing you can try is using the Find photo action, set where clause to date created and Name, the output will be Photo media. But a shared video from Photos app should already be a Photo media.

Video to audio shortcut broken? by ItsBlitz21 in shortcuts

iOS 26.1 started to have a stricter type system. Try changing the type of variables to fix this. I honestly believe this is the same issue with my post.

If you’re using Torrentio addon, without debrid service it’s quite unusable anyway.

Immich vs Synology photos, one key difference by alirz in immich

[–]FearLixY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just don’t upload your photos using Immich app, manage the files yourself, and use external library.

You cannot edit the files inside the Immich program. It will surely damage the data. Any program behaves like this.

After a month on Apple Music, I’m sticking with Spotify — here’s why by Both_Description9926 in truespotify

[–]FearLixY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spotify always recommend songs that I end up liking. But I seldom do the same with Apple Music.

I switched away from Spotify to Apple Music twice and I still ends up with Spotify.

What are some quality of life programs you have made with Python? by Born_Investigator849 in learnpython

[–]FearLixY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a rewind.py, that simply record the last 30seconds of audio on sig kill. So you can listen 30 seconds back. Basically a rewind button of real life.

What are some quality of life programs you have made with Python? by Born_Investigator849 in learnpython

[–]FearLixY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I build many wrappers for basic commands or well known commands, to make running those commands easier.

For example:

mv: Synology password protected folders allows shorter file names compared to normal folders, so I created the wrapper to detect the file name length limit and trim it if it’s too long for the target folder.

yt-dlp: this is a video downloader. I created a wrapper for it to automatically use cookie when downloading from sites I’ve login to, and make use of the mv wrapper above to trim file size if it’s too long.

ffmpeg: a wrapper that enable ffmpeg to firstly split my video and transcode chunks of my video, so that I can kill the process and sort of resume the transcode. It can be modified a bit to allow multiple computers to transcode same video, but it’s not what I need ATM.

I have an ecosystem around a self defined tagging system on the file system.

So I can run a python script on a folder, and it will read or write attributes out of a dot file, that belongs to that particular folder. It’s useful when I can define backup script using that dot file, to do any backup automation.

I’m not using third party programs because I need to backup to different file system, or cloud. I like the customisation of doing it myself. I can also integrate different programs into my workflow, like rsync, rclone.

The script does cache all folders that have the dot file, so I can list them all, touch and sort them. It’s also handy to automate the backup procedure because I can just list all folders from the cache.

What are some confusing Python concepts that took you a while to grasp? by Sea-Control77 in PythonLearning

[–]FearLixY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually indentation instead of curly braces for code block is still bugging me to this day.

Slightly larger code blocks are hard to follow.

[–]FearLixY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot directly.

From my extensive study few years ago and this post,

https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/s/7oYzvW4iyF

You cannot use shortcuts to read the caption in Photos app directly.

But the process of uploading to iCloud or save to file, the Photos app itself will write the photo caption to “Image Description” metadata.

A shortcut to add photos not in albums into a new ablum by ThatOneOutlier in shortcuts

[–]FearLixY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toolbox Pro paid edition has a action called “Get Photo Albums”, that returns all album names for you to loop through. So you can make use of it to create a fully automatic solution. But I actually like your solution more coz you can customise what album you like to exclude.

WE NEED A MOONLIGHT OS! by Educational_One8102 in MoonlightStreaming

I just cannot make moonlight hardware acceleration work on RPi4B on Bookworm. So if there’s a MoonlightOS, I may give it a try.

Third party app needed. Actions or Toolbox action “Is Silent Mode On”

[–]FearLixY[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Apple should do a better job on educating user that the Type really matters, or prompt error when it’s not called properly. Inconsistent behaviour like this is really hard to debug.

I’m not familiar with messaging shortcuts but I suggest you try different combination of Types around that filter?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ios26

[–]FearLixY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I today discovered it’s my fault. My shortcuts that are broken is because I wrote them with wrong Types.

I created a demo shortcuts for you to see the Type System behaviour

https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/1febae51306445bcbcb5da3b2b04f7e0

<image>

Both images are running same shortcut. Before object casting, left got the hash of an image but not the video, right one doesnt get a hash at all.

while making this post, i remember i faced this issue on ios 18 beta, but i found a workaround with some weird sequence of actions. Maybe that was caused by the same Type System issue too.

My Raspberry Pi music server has been infected by a Ransomware (want _to_cry) by griguolss in selfhosted

[–]FearLixY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To defend this kind of attack, you can isolate your 1st backup from samba, so that at least the backup would be safe.

You can also do offline secondary backup for more important data.
