Same, this is sad news. I’ll probably end up hosting an instance myself on 1984.is but I wasn’t wanting to deal with the hassle.
I access everything over VPN and access Lemmy primarily through Mlem — I’d forgotten that the “Hot” sorting even existed.
Oh well, what else is new? Better to self-host your own services.
The real trick is to move to a high cost of living area where you’re super near but can hardly afford to make it there as often as you’d like.
Anyone else lose all focus when switching from daylight to standard time?
I know typically people are happy with falling back one hour with this time change, but regardless which time change is happening I seem to lose all focus and drive at work for a good 2-4 weeks.
This happens when I travel as well and but my friends and family generally seem not to mind change in time.
Anyone have any interesting information on this? I’ve searched far and wide but it usually results in numerous (worthless) lighthearted “here’s what to expect”-style news articles.
I think there’s some merit to this, I had blonde hair as a child and now when I go to the beach a lot during the summer is starts to lighten again.
In my case Ruby was my next step. I tried to learn Python later on but it always felt like a step back. Unfortunately Python is much more popular though for some reason so YMMV.
I still love tech but only because I realize that it can actually empower us. The dark patterns that corporations use (for me personally and especially when it comes to customer service) are what ruin it, but maybe I’m still naïve.
Not super grim, but I worked in a hot warehouse unpacking cheap clothing from China, repacking it and watching the owners turn around and sell it on Groupon for a huge profit. Sometimes their family members would stop by in brand new Mercedes, BMW and other high-end luxury cars.
The others and myself were all promised better jobs like product photographer, website designer, etc. I only lasted there one week.
Yeah, I couldn’t get past this. The turquoise was neither blue nor green but you’re forced to select one or the other.
Mine is till instead of ’til to mean until and a in “two times a year” instead of per. I still say “two times a year” myself but when writing it looks so unprofessional and I always notice it in news publications.
I don’t why but the fact this is on YouTube seems hypocritical but I can’t put my finger on it.
Not sure if you’re talking about me but if so, touché because I definitely don’t believe that but now I look like a hypocrite. 😂
Who even has this kind of time? Get a life
It’s been ages for me but I vaguely remember something whacky like this happening but can’t recall specifics. Something about blocking specific scripts causing crazy rendering problems and yeah, something with inputs acting janky too.
Gee, I wonder why Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection breaks the site. 🤔
For me in the US a ton of sites break simply by using a VPN exiting in Europe. If they’re too lazy to comply with EU privacy laws I take that as a sign it’s not worth my time, so I’d likely do the same with this.
Same goes if my “ad blocker” (DNS blocking) isn’t “compatible” or I can’t log in because due to an oftentimes hidden Google recaptcha: no thanks, I’ll take my business elsewhere.
And probably anywhere between six months and three years from now 🙄
I work from home, love my job and make a great salary. I also have ~10 years of food service experience and would prefer to go back to that than to hear my office-working coworkers complain about the same shit I hear in the monthly meetings every day.
I really hope not; I love Linux to death but Android is… not nice.
I don’t know, I still see a lot of people not knowing this. I’ve seen iPhone users get confused when I use Safari to go to a website rather than the Google app on their phone.
It’s really a shame because you just know that that Google app is just spyware.
How can I automate archiving email?
My wife works in a workplace filled with drama. She wants to keep an archive of her work emails without forwarding them to herself.
She already has access to her work email (Exchange) from home, and we already know how to archive emails by exporting them from Apple Mail.
I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with Alpine Linux. Is there any command line utility that can connect to the email server as a regular client and manage archiving?
Why are tech news websites suddenly bashing 8GB RAM in Apple devices?
I’m a web developer but I also do tons of work with large files being transferred across the network, I do some CPU intensive tasks from time to time, run Docker containers, etc. all on a 2020 M1 MacBook Air with 8GB of RAM.
Well it’s 2024 now and the thing still screams. So what I don’t understand is: why are there suddenly so many enraged tech news websites bashing on the 8GB base RAM?
I get it that some people need more than just 8GB, but for the cliche web browsing, email and social media user it’s not adding up to me why anyone is so enraged about this.
Does Z-Wave just kind of suck, or is it me?
For the past few years I’ve been wrestling with Aeotec sensors (purchased because they seemed to be highly recommended everywhere). First it was spending weeks trying to get Z-Wave JS UI (nothing better than this??) to perform firmware upgrades, then replacing a Z-Stick 7 with an older version due to unfixable bugs in that, and now it’s on again / off again factory resetting and connecting the sensors back to the controller.
As time has passed my wife and I have essentially forgotten about automating anything based on temperature or presence. I replace the batteries in sensors from time to time (since they’re never not showing 100%) with no effect.
I ask because I’m planning on buying some Aqara devices that depend on WiFi. Preferably I’d like to use something other than WiFi since it’s usually the extremely congested 2.4 GHz band.
People constantly complaining about the Media Bias Fact Check bot are more annoying than the bot
People complaining about the bot are worse than the bot itself. Every comment thread or post about it (probably including this one) inevitably turns into people debating the bot’s usefulness.
If you’re someone who hates the bot, do what everyone has already said 10 trillion times: block it.
All the comment threads and posts by users wanting to “take it down” solve nothing. Just stop. It’s so irritating having to scroll past millions of comments of the same tired debate.
Why do wireless carriers knock on my door in a major city trying to sell 5G home internet service?
I live in a major city with cable internet everywhere along with fiber in some areas (unfortunately not mine), but I’ve had multiple instances of carriers’ salespeople knock on my door selling 5G home internet service.
The reason this doesn’t make sense to me is 5G will always have a much higher latency than any wired alternative — it really only makes sense to sell this stuff in rural areas without the infrastructure. What’s more is the most recent carrier has a reputation for extraordinary coverage but their network is CDMA so their network speed is one of the worst in the city.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to sell this stuff elsewhere?
Good self-hosted car maintenance app?
I’ve been using the CarFAX Car Care app/website for a long time but I’m looking for something better.
It would be nice to have something I can enter my car make/model into and have it suggest maintenance but also keep track of repairs. I like uploading PDF scans of receipts too; one thing that always bothered me about Car Care is the horrible, weird compression it does on those files.
Alpine Linux on NanoPi R6S
Hey everyone, I’m looking to replace my router with a NanoPi R6S but want to do everything myself from Alpine Linux.
I’ve been doing a lot of research and it seems that the chipset and hardware are supported as of Linux 6.3, but looking at Alpine’s ARM documentation makes installation sound a bit more advanced than I’m used to (specifically, the partition layout and U-Boot are confusing to me).
Has anyone gone this route?
How should I configure Tailscale app connectors and/or subnet routing for HomeKit Secure Video?
Basically, I’m running Tailscale on most of my devices and using subnet routing on a Raspberry Pi for non-Tailscale devices.
My problem is that while using an exit node streaming video from cameras in the iOS/macos Home apps is entirely too slow. I can see from App Privacy Report that it attempts to connect to my home network’s WAN address, so I’ve set up subnet routing to bring in any traffic to any of ISP’s networks through the Raspberry Pi at home (this also makes it possible to use said ISP’s streaming app on Apple TV as if I were at home).
I know that Home doesn’t connect to the cameras locally at all, because I can tear down all the Tailscale stuff and not see any traffic between the client and the camera on the LAN.
Has anyone have a clue how to go about configuring this? Thanks in advance!
