Cool YouTube cooking channels?

Cool YouTube cooking channels? - Lemmy.world

So I moved out recently and discovered I pretty much only know how to prepare scrambled eggs and smoothies. I’ve been trying to find cool cooking resources online, but most feel like are just either clickbait or advertising me a lot of garbage (that vibe reminds me of toxic fitness channels). Any good resources you guys may know? It doesn’t necessarily have to be YouTube channels, extra points if it has beginner level recipes, easily findable ingredients or it’s funny to follow. Thanks! :)

Should I be aware of something when buying a TV?

Should I be aware of something when buying a TV? - Lemmy.world

Hey guys, so I moved recently and started tipping my toes in self-hosting, currently managed to set up Pihole and Jellyfin. I’m thinking of buying a TV to start enjoying all these cool services over my living room. The thing is, I’m pretty much an absolute beginner, and I’m not sure if there is something I should be aware of when buying a TV. Since it is a fairly big spend, I would really hate to be locked out of it because of some greedy corporate garbage or something, especially since I would use it only for self-hosting, and I am aware TVs are particularly messy when it comes to this (never have bought one in my life). Could you guys help this lost kid?

Torrents in spanish? - Lemmy.world

Hey guys, greetings from Mexico. I’ve tried for a while to find a reliable source to pirate content in spanish. I’m already pretty comfortable with consuming media in english, but if there is any way I could help strip my family from greedy corporations I would really like to try :)

I could swear to God I never hit the 10 mark over there. In here as long as it isn’t a “^this” I get 10-20, and solidly hit the 50 mark if I comment something truly meaningful.

What's a good audio trimming open source replacement?

What's a good audio trimming open source replacement? - Lemmy.world

From time to time I got the need to trim intros/outros or silence from downloaded audio files. I’m currently using Super Sound, but I find it a little silly that one of the last closed source, filled with ads app I still have installed is for such a small functionality. On desktop I use ffmpeg for pretty much anything, so if there is some wrapper for it over android it would be ideal.

What is the thing that has surprised you the most about the Fediverse?

What is the thing that has surprised you the most about the Fediverse? - Lemmy.world

To me, it was the astounding amount of interactivity between the community. At first I thought this was temporarily caused by the whole migration from the R site. But, just out of curiosity, I signed up to Mastodon and have enjoyed myself just as much as here. Most of the Lemmy post’s / Mastodon toots have almost as much or more comments / boosts than upvotes or favorites. It feels so organic and makes me realize how much these huge companies employ technics to pretty much force to interact the way they see fit. It reminds me of that good old saying “you are not immune to propaganda”, well I guess neither I nor anyone is immune to psychological tricks either. P.S. I also love the fact that since there isn’t pretty much any money involved, most opinions and interactions are genuine. Like, who is gonna pay this dude to advertise a book through BookWyrm? That increases immensely the odds that said person is being honest with their opinion of that book. It’s amazing.
