I have a rooted Android 10. And I’ve written a service (off the class Service) which I want to run under too, in background. A service uses a microphone and location. It’s written in Kotlin....
Are avid 2A supporters angry because of the lead from bullets?
I was reading about how the EU is thinking of reducing the lead used in ammunition because it’s polluting the environment. I wonder if regular lead exposure at the firing range is addling people’s brains.
Cloud Hosted VMs
Not sure if cloud hosted VMs count as selfhosted for the purposes of this community, but I run a lot of services at the house and want to have a few services that require high availability run in a cloud external to my home. Specifically, I want to run Vaultwarden, an email server and a VPN. My question is one of...
Does anyone know any Hard Sci Fi books about humans surviving without any hospitable worlds?
I’m looking to get inspiration for my own writing. I need a hard sci fi series where earth (and earthlike worlds) are too rare, inaccessible, and/or previously spoiled beyond ability to sustain life. Bonus points if it is set on a multi-generational space station or starship without any other options and goes into detail about...

I really wish Proxmox had an official Terraform provider
I might not deserve to say this, but I really wish Proxmox GmbH maintained an “official” terraform provider instead of relying on the community completely for it, à la Vates (XCP-ng). To be fair, it was the same with VMWare, so I’m not putting the blame on them....

If I were to reimagine the Trill, I'd make them naturally unspotted...
The symbiont would be, and the Trill’s spots would only present when the two joined. As the symbiont grew older, their spots would increase in number, so later hosts like Jadzia would have more spots than earlier hosts. Like rings in a tree.

Tails: A Place on Lemmy for Mastodon Posts
Given the shared underlying protocol, I didn’t like that if I saw something interesting on Mastodon, and wanted to post it on Lemmy, I’d have to screenshot it and/or re-attribute it to me rather than the original author....
