Galaxy Fold 4. Would have immediately recommended it but this past weekend the inside screen protector cracked down the middle. I need to contact Samsung and see how big of a hassle this is to get it replaced. I’ve only had the phone like 6 months, this really shouldn’t be this fragile
Subbed, I wouldn’t be surprise if Trent was floating around here somewhere with how deeply he seemed to be into the newer experimental internet shit back when…
Classic useless answer but nothing ATM 🙃. I’ve been travelling for a few months and won’t be able to host anything til I get home mid July. However, I do have plans to host a website or two, maybe even a Bookwyrm, Lemmy or Mastodon instance.
I added a mark as read button to the posts but now patiently waiting till the WebSockets -> REST API transition is complete so it can get merged.
The front end needs a lot of work… Every bit is appreciated and the maintainers are pretty fast at reviewing and providing feedback which is nice to see.
For me one of my favourites are my extractor fan control in my bathrooms. I have a switch on the fan and a humidity sensor close by. Turn on the shower and the extractor will turn on until the humidity is lowered enough, then switch off. In addition I have a static programmable button to press should you need it for other reasons. I just love the world of entities and how they link together to make something functional.
Manly P Hall, The Secret Teachings of all Ages Ted Kaczynski, Industrial Society and its Future
I tend to read 2-3 books in parallel and randomly continue reading based on mood. I love Hall’s writing style and the amount of knowledge he put into the work and considering that he wasn’t even 30 when it was first published, it’s an incredible read for someone who recently had a spiritual awakening.
Rereading Ted’s Manifesto after reading of his death yesterday. Its impressive how he foresaw what technology would do to our society and how disruptive the industrial-capitalist-technocratic trifecta would be for humans.
In my view, having rewatched Voyager again decades after first run, the show not only took successful risks in several episodes like the Demon duology or The Thaw, it has some ‘best ever’ episodes for employing some classic Star Trek tropes.
At the time, I suspect some fans focused on the ‘not new idea’ more than ‘did it better than’ but at this point it’s fairly clear.
For fans who came to Voyager first (including our kids), the original TOS and TNG episodes that Voyager built upon just seem weak by comparison.
More, when SNW does something similar, people are viewing these kind of episodes from the perspective of how well done within a type rather than criticizing them for reworking a trope.
Lots of stuff! Currently running almost all of these in Docker on a Synology NAS:
Code Server - access my notes files remotely
Gitea - only used to store notes that are edited in Obsidian (or Code Server as mentioned above)
Home Assistant - home automation
Homebridge - used for one or two devices that have better integrations than natively in Home Assistant
Jellyfin - video streaming platform (installed because it’s FOSS and seems interesting, but I rarely use it)
Overseerr - user-request app for video streaming platform (installed when I anticipated sharing my movies/shows before realizing that my ISP severely limits my upload speeds)
Pi-Hole - block all ads network-wide
Plex - primary video streaming platform
Radarr - download movies
Readarr - download books but have had better luck with Libgen on an ad-hoc basis
I think the goal isn’t actually selling you Photoshop, they care but not much.
The goal is stopping a photographer or other professional in the middle of their very busy workflow, when they absolutely can’t be interrupted, to make sure they get so annoyed they just pay to make it never happen again.
