then don’t.

it’s not something your being forced to do. it’s the lifting of an unnecessary restriction that in turn gives you more power on your device.

and this is why uBlock origin is the be all end all of extensions.

Voyager on mobile, Photon on desktop

Immich full stop, like everyone else has said. self hostable so as much storage as you can buy (and maintain backups of!), AI so you can search your photos like “sunset on beach”, and just rock solid, despite it “”“technically”“” still in pre-release stage

shred or alternatively you can zero out all the bytes in a drive with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<DRIVE>

if you know/use docker, the solution that has been the most straightforward for me is SWAG. the setup process is fairly easy when combined with registering your domain with Porkbun, as they allow free API access needed for obtaining top-level (example.com) as well as wildcard (*.example.com) SSL certificates.

along with that, exposing a new service is fairly easy with the plethora of already included nginx configs for services like Nextcloud, Syncthing, etc.

I still find Tealdeer useful even now, it helps me get working with commands I know little about, more so than a manpage

I haven’t met a single person that didn’t like Photon. Photon is the only reason I started browsing on desktop regularly. It’s lean, clean, and packed with gorgeous transitions; I’ve rarely ever found a project that gets form and function right.

The internet is a shitty place. I’m not surprised that on Lemmy we have shit like

• “client with no JS when?”
• “I don’t want normies anyway”
• “I’m too old to appreciate a modern-looking UI”
• “eww I don’t like this thing that carries subjective opinions, let’s never let anyone use this.”

The troll energy is strong, but it doesn’t change that this is a great project. Alternative UI’s are what make Lemmy unique, and you’re doing your part. That’s appreciated.

I couldn’t stand not using a custom app for Reddit because it is just so bad. I’m a nerd too so that made moving here easier.

As for getting others to move here, not yet. 🥲

who let the magic mouse engineers loose

Signal uses AWS.

I tried both MQTT and just the plain HTTP variant, and I couldn’t get either to work. I’ve fully settled on the latter you mentioned, Traccar. it’s pretty much what I’ve wanted: self-hosted, easy to set up, beautiful web interface. Thanks for the suggestions!

for two reasons, I can’t use this.

1. Android. Me, my family. Our past phones were, our current phones are, and future phones will be Android phones.
2. I’m looking for whatever it may be to be OSS and self-hostable (if the community name didn’t give that implication away)

OwnTracks setup was a bit confusing to me and I never got it working. traccar looks pretty nice though, I’ll check it out!

NO. REALLY?

I didn’t know cobalt.tools was OSS. cool!

Mint is lovely! I started out with it years ago and still use it today.

The best part about FreeTube unlike other Third-Party clients is that it retains a better YouTube-like suggestions system for any videos you wanna watch next. Discoverability is still a very important thing for me

for some reason Dark Reader slows down page loading by a lot for me, especially on slow connections

this just in: google is still spying on you in every way possible
