@lemmy.worldApologies in advance if this is the wrong community.
I’ve just returned to the game for the first time since 2017 after downloading the next-gen update. I’m a bit of a “trophy hunter”, but I’m also intrigued by mods and quick codes for the Bethesda games (I was a Skyrim fanatic). Will mods or “cheats” impact my ability to earn trophies?
If so, I’ll wait until I have the platinum and then try it.
I know “best” is subjective, but as someone who’s entrenched in the Apple ecosystem I always used to use the stock apps: Reminders, Calendar, Mail, Podcasts and, of course, Safari.
But over time I’ve moved away from some of those apps, towards things that work better than the stock apps but also still sync with my other Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Watch): Things and Todoist (because I can’t decide on one over the other), Fantastical, Mail (still), Overcast… but I tend to hover between browsers.
I mainly use Safari, and try to use profiles to separate personal and work stuff. But over the years I’ve also tried Firefox, I’ve tried Brave and more recently I’ve tried Arc. But I just can’t make my mind up.
So I was curious what your browser of choice is (and also, if you have any other views on the best stock app replacements - including alternatives to the ones I listed above for GTD, calendars, email and podcasts (don’t get me started on the “best” search engine!), I’d be interested to get your opinions.
This probably isn’t possible, but I traded in an old MacBook Air and chose to get the cash added to my Apple account. However, at the minute it just pays some of my subscriptions automatically, and I was wondering if I can withdraw it somehow?
I was looking to buy a few apps (Swish, Transmit) and figured I could get them off the Mac App Store. But Swish isn’t on there and the App Store version of Transmit doesn’t seem worth it compared to getting it directly from their website.
So wondered if I could somehow transfer the cash from my Apple account but guessing the answer is “no”?

Pretty much as the title says, just wondered if it was possible for me to stop listening to a playlist on my Mac and seamlessly pick it up on my iPhone, rather than starting the playlist again?
TL;DR - which privacy-focused search engine do people recommend, preferably one that can also easily be used as a default option in Safari?
I ditched Google in about 2016ish I would guess, and since then have used DDG as my default search engine.
As someone entrenched in the Apple ecosystem, it’s always seemed like a sound choice, as it’s one of the search engines built in to Safari on both iOS and macOS.
After spending a bit more time recently playing around with and updating my Docker containers, I started hosting a Whoogle container, which seemed to work pretty well, but I don’t see many out there talking about it, so not sure how good it actually is. I then tried a SearXNG container, but either had it misconfigured or just wasn’t getting many search results back.
At the moment I’m trying out Startpage, but I know there are potential privacy concerns since they were part-bought in 2019 by a US ad-tech company.
I’m also playing around with different browsers at the moment, flicking between Safari, Firefox and Brave. At which point I stumbled across Brave Search, which seems pretty promising.
So, which search engines do you all recommend?
UPDATE: Probably should’ve done a poll! But latest (if I’ve captured everything correctly) is:
As to my other questions around browsers:
I'm trying to access my Pi-hole container from pihole.mydomain.com without any ports or /admin, and I swear the multitude of posts on the internet make this seem really straightforward. Perhaps it is and I'm being dumb, but I cannot get it to work.
Below is my current docker-compose for both Traefik and Pi-hole:

The Pi-hole one will load the login page and, upon entering the password and logging in, it will simply bring me back to the login page. So just keeps looping around.
The Traefik config is working with lots of other containers, all of which are using SSL certificates, so I'm pretty sure my Traefik config is okay.
I've tried middlewares to addprefix=/admin, which just ends up looping round with multiple /admin prefixes and also doesn't work.
Anybody got any ideas?
I'm aware I don't have to put Pi-hole behind SSL as I'm not exposing any of this stuff to the open internet (ports 80 and 443 are not forwarded on my router, and I'm using local DNS records in Pi-hole to access via subdomains).
Happy to post my traefik.yml and config.yml files if needed.
UPDATE: I seem to have figured it out! Below is my final Pi-hole docker-compose - the Traefik one remains unchanged from the original post:

I'm sure I'm massively overthinking this, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a domain name that I bought through NameCheap and I've pointed it to Cloudflare (i.e. updated the name servers). I have a Synology NAS on which I run Docker and a few containers. Up until now I've done this using IP addresses and ports to access everything (I have a Homepage container running and just link to everything from there).
But I want to setup SSL and start running Vaultwarden, hence purchasing a domain name to make it all easier.
I tried creating an A record in Cloudflare to point to the internal IP of my NAS (and obviously, this couldn't be orange-clouded through CF because it's internal to my LAN). I'm very reluctant to point the A record to the external IP of my NAS (which, for added headache is dynamic, so I'd need to get some kind of DDNS) because I don't want to expose everything on my NAS to the Internet. In actual fact, I'm not precious about accessing any of this stuff over the internet - if I need remote access I have a Tailscale container running that I can connect to (more on that later in the post). The domain name was purely for ease of setting up SSL and Vaultwarden.
So I guess my questions are:
I'm sure these are all noob-type questions, but for the past 6-7 years I've purely used this internally using IP:port combinations, so never had to worry about domain names and external exposure, etc.
Many thanks in advance!
I’ve got my library just as I want it, and have made a couple of changes to the <sorttitle> in my movies’ .nfo files.
This is fine for a day or so, and then Jellyfin decides to overwrite my .nfo files.
I have them set to “lock” via tinyMediaManager but it doesn’t seem to make any difference. Every day it’ll reorder some movies in my library.
Pretty sure I’ve also disabled the image plug-ins in the library so it shouldn’t be pulling any metadata from anywhere.
Not a huge deal but incredibly frustrating — I want my library showing movies in a certain order and it’s driving me nuts when they’re rearranged 🤣
Any ideas?
TIA.
