Still no plans/pricing for Proton Pass Family (only the full proton suite).

Proton is missing many users with this simple lack of effort; not everyone wants drive, vpn, etc.

Some folks just want a password manager for the immediate and extended family; and often times we are willing to just pay a few bucks extra per month and not worry about helping these people after they get hacked, due to terrible passwords.

Searching in google

why do phones have glass backs And all the top results explain why in a single sentence: wireless charging.

You can’t have wireless charging with metal backplates, hence the glass, which is often not your ordinary glass but things like gorilla glass which is much harder to crack.

I know it still sucks; I have an iPhone 12 that was still in great condition after 4yrs, never used a case on it; but one day at the pool of my son recording a video and dropping it just right, cracked the back. I just stuck a dbrand sticker onto the back to hold the glass in place and it continues to work without issue!

And a letter away from Futa, which has a whole other world of a meaning…

thanks for the tips! I am running a Ryzen 9 5950X, so it definitely needs a standalone GPU. I am going to be getting a 1070 off the kids’ computer once I upgrade them later this year, so I think I’ll just stick that into it.

Would really like to get the seamless transcoding to work so the whole family can use it without hiccups.

Very much agree on all these points; I just wish I could get the transcoding to actually work.

I’ve been running Jellyfin in a container and giving it access to an old GTX970 but it just refuses to do anything with it.

Very well said. 100% agree - my projects are hobbies that allow me to contribute back for the many OSS I use, with the added bonus of helping me learn/retain knowledge of languages.

Very interesting research and write up - but holy fuck can we please find a way to share an article that is not cut into tiny snippets of text?

The argument so far seems to be:

• it’s not about the fact that they collect the data, but for whom it may be collected.
• their algorithms of feeding content to consumers can be heavily influenced by non-US political entities.

That being said, I’m all for the TikTok ban, along with all the other social media platforms that have been proven to have negative impacts on the mental and physical health of our society (esp. with how much of it focused on kids).

With each year we spend less and less on the education of our children, while corporations exploit them and force feed junk into heads. Reduce their access to the shit stream, put in effort into their education instead of undercutting it, and we may actually have a chance at a bright future.

Go get some sleep and next time the test comes around, prepare and don’t procrastinate

Here is something really bad going on with this person who has their literal freedom threatened, but let me twist this into why this is Elons fault.

IDGAF about Elon or anything he touches, but the mental gymnastics in this are worthy of a Olympic gold medal

I self host Outline with storage connected to a Minio instance that I use as S3 storage for several applications.

I loved the ability of writing in markdown form, but a simple and intuitive design, with the ability to share a whole collection, a subset of pages, or a single page publicly without dealing with a bunch of overhead.

https://opensource.org/licenses/ is a good place to find truly open source licenses, as there are some out there that claim to be something they’re not.

What kindle? I’d guess the one that doesn’t require a soldering iron to build…

I would love to have an alternative for kindle, but this is not it; not yet at least

At the cost of full unencrypted access to everything you say or share…

Not sure it’s worth the effort to recreate the wheel when Floccus is FOSS and uses your destination of choice.

If anything I’d throw up Nextcloud into docker and set that as the source for Floccus

Wasn’t the project abandoned some years ago?

Edit: nvm, looks like it was rewritten into https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs

Floccus is a great option with different sync sources and works across browsers

How I wish I had seen this about a month ago when I spent hours smarting up the nginx module and converting the maxmind DBs to v1 to make the compatible.

I do wonder how well this performs compared to the nginx module

YT Music everything is sorely lacking. Back when Google Play Music existed and a 3rd party desktop app made it a great alternator Spotify. Then they killed it all just so they could pad their song numbers by including YT videos

If you’re doing the uploads yourself, the fastest solution for large files (e.g. compress into a tar/7z) will be rsync.

It requires minimal setup (ssh or vpn connection) and uses chunk transfer which is typically faster and can be resumed in event of connection failures
