What you’re describing is known as a PWA (progressive web app).

Open webapp in Chrome(ium)-> Menu Button -> More Tools -> Create Shortcut -> Check box for open as window.

ptz OP , (edited ) to selfhosted in Anyone else run so many services locally that sometimes you don't immediately notice your internet is out?
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

I used to have to rely on satellite internet, so I always avoided cloud services in favor of self-hosted options. Even without the draconian data caps, a literal cloud would cut me off.

I’ve got a decent ISP now, but I’m too invested in my on-prem stuff to change course. lol

See I thought that Beehaw.org was the Lemmy instance for news, as it’s supposed to be a well moderated instance, am I incorrect in that assumption?

I just started a US and World news community on my instance (had federation issues with Beehaw and a lot of stuff randomly didn’t come through in either direction, especially comments/replies). I contributed to the moderation policies they use for their news sub, and the community I put together has even tougher standards than that.

If you’re interested, here’s a post I put together with the standards for posts and the moderation policies we use: dubvee.org/post/58845

Community link: /c/[email protected]

I feel guilty plugging my own community, but if Beehaw isn’t an option (they really are well modded), then I hope for this to be the next best thing. I’ve found the other existing news communities to be somewhat lacking in proper moderation and source vetting.

ptz , to selfhosted in ZFS says drive is faulted, does that always mean it needs replacing?
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

Typically, yes. It could be due to either a flaky SATA cable/connection/controller, so you might try moving it to a different port if you are able, clearing the error, and seeing if it reoccurs.

Regardless, just make sure you have a good backup of the data or are confident in the other two disks.

SearxNG is my favorite.

It’s a meta search engine that makes it easy to find what you’re looking for without ads, tracking, or SEO crap.

From there, you can train your own, built-in neural net to earn the knowledge for yourself :)

Yeah, I could have done that, and I do similar to what you proposed on other sites. But that sidebar is completely useless to me and has never had anything of interest, so I’m content just nuking it from orbit.

Ha, yeah. Checking has just been part of my daily routine forever. The comment section is a dumpster fire, though, so I just skim the headlines each day.

Also mildly infuriating is if you try to grudgingly load the mobile site in a desktop browser, it just redirects you back to the crappy, non-responsive desktop version.

Pop OS is an Ubuntu derivative developed by System76 (who make a range of Linux laptops). It uses a customized GNOME that has a window tiling plugin (among other things).

I’ve only run it for a week, and I like it. I was hesitant since it’s Ubuntu-derived and doesn’t fully protect you from The Snappening, but I’ve worked around that and am really enjoying it.

Indeed. You can instantly pick out bad websites, and I’ve started using stylebot more and more to fix them. lol

Why do I care?

Well, I get all manner of spam texts because my mom gave some shitty app permissions to access her contacts. The spam messages are directed to me by name.

It’s not just their personal info they’re putting at risk when they click “agree” on data sucking apps.
