I was once complimented in a group with "He has the most stars on GitHub of anyone I've met, he might as well be famous." Dork pride for sure.

fmstrat OP ,

Yea, 125.3 on GH, 126 on Play Store.

fmstrat OP ,

Is there a non-nightly version? I only use nightly on my tablet for the new "desktop tabs" feature. And how would I use this in Obtainium?

fmstrat OP ,

Not really. Safest place to get an app is from the Dev if you're not using the play store. FDroid has been known to host out of date packages forever, causing security concerns.

Obtainium is pretty easy to use.

fmstrat OP ,

Thanks for the tip.

fmstrat OP ,

Oh yea I forgot about them announcing that. I will look into it.

fmstrat OP ,

You know, it used to be different architecture, but it looks like it may he the same now.

fmstrat ,

This is why I only buy unlockable devices that have open boot loaders. Making that decision up front means ROM support for a much longer time frame.

fmstrat ,

Comment OP must never learn anything new. Good find.

I remember this. I also remember using scp instead. And ftp, if I go back far enough. rsync is still my friend though zfs has mostly replaced it now.

fmstrat ,

I used to use rsync to copy data from my storage array on one machine to an external and an off site backup. Since a lot of it was code, it always took forever to scan all the small files, and I had to script unlocking remote partitions.

With encrypted ZFS, I can just zfs snap then zfs send, and it does the same thing at the block level, raw, so way faster, less data transfer, and no need to send a key or passphrase unless I need to mount it at the destination (meaning a cloud provider could never know the data, for instance)..

ZFS is also recursive, so if I have s/storage and /storage/stuff defined, I can snap and send either level, which makes it as versatile as rsync.

Family whose roof was damaged by space debris files claims against NASA ( arstechnica.com )

Alejandro Otero, owner of the Naples, Florida, home struck by the debris, was not home when part of a battery pack from the International Space Station crashed through his home on March 8. His son Daniel, 19, was home but escaped injury. NASA has confirmed the 1.6-pound object, made of the metal alloy Inconel, was part of a...

80k seems like a lot of our tax dollars for this. But who am I to say.

fmstrat ,

I dont disagree. But waste is waste.

fmstrat ,

Ahhh good point.

Most magnet fishers work in groups.

"Moderation tools are nonexistent on here. It also eats up storage like crazy [...] The software is downright frustrating to work with" - Can any other instance admins relate to this?

After a year online the free speech-focused instance 'Burggit' is shutting down. Among other motivations, the admins point to grievances with the Lemmy software as one of the main reasons for shutting down the instance. In a first post asking about migrating to Sharkey, one of the admins states:...

fmstrat ,

This is why I made Lemmy Post Purger (LPP).

Depends on four factors (theory):

  • You have profile pictures on
  • Your App shows the emoji characters in display names (ugh (my reaction has no reflection on the quality of their posts, it just annoys me))
  • You reply to the same person more than a few times
  • You proactively read usernames as you read comments/posts

The last one is key. I think most people skim right over them, which makes the first three important.

From.. A guy. Don't ask questions.

Wasn't a big issue with Graphene that it doesn't support any form of smart battery charging?

And before the responses pour in, yes, I've read https://akc3n.page/posts/battery-management/. And no, there is not a quoted source for a device skipping maintenance mode at 80%, or to refute the many studies showing the benefit to lithium cells, or to cover wireless or non-PD charging. When a "solution" is using a smart plug with HA to stop charging, it's still an issue.

Edit: I do like GrapheneOS. This is just a decision I don't agree with.

fmstrat ,

Wait until you learn the news is new.

fmstrat , (edited )

Not stones, but I've been very happy with this after watching a crap ton of reviews.

I use it with some Shun kitchen knives.

What does this ad have to do with KDE?

Edit: question answered

fmstrat ,

Well that makes sense then

fmstrat ,

Can you imagine the fear, not knowing who's drone it was? Terrifying.

fmstrat ,

And more weight means less range.

fmstrat ,

This is the best thing I've read today.

fmstrat ,

Out of curiosity and bug hunting, what is the title of the post you thought you commented on, and what client do you use?

fmstrat ,

Thank you, I've seen this a few times now (twice on this post in fact), and am betting it is a client issue.

fmstrat ,

I think they thought they were in r/apple

Volume. A long time ago, ten replies was huge, not a thousand.

Join the communities, follow the people, and start conversations where the world is still small, you'll find what you are looking for.

The filter is your friend, social sites are not the only sites (federated ones included), and there are many destinations to participate as long as you dont hunt for exposure to the masses.

Edit: Friendly reminder that IRC, web comics, and niche forums still exist.

fmstrat ,

Nice. Made my Top All Today feed, too. Congrats.

"the"

There needs to be a way to only get one push notification for every new message in a group chat

I dont know about others, but sometimes I am not able to check my phone, or be fully present in a conversation that I'm part of. Maybe I'm concentrating on work, or driving, and not able to look. It gets distracting when my phone is constantly buzzing and chiming for 5 minutes straight. Muting the chat can help, but if you...

fmstrat ,

I bet you use an iPhone, right?

fmstrat ,

Ahhh, what app are you using for messaging? I would be interested to know how Buzzkill works for you. I use Tasker to customize mine a lot, but a formal solution might be worth trying if it's good.

fmstrat ,

Forejo, where you can use your github oauth login

fmstrat ,

Postgres is a weird one. The first link probably answers the query, just click the latest version (or your version) once you are there.

The problem is probably so many systems run old versions, so the results skew.

fmstrat ,

But the 9.6 version, or 11 version, could be the most popular.

fmstrat ,

Every reviewer who signed this should post a review, but of the business practices and why not to buy the game.

fmstrat ,

Nope. They would be talking about the company not the game.

fmstrat ,

"It's a game. Don't buy from them."

fmstrat ,

Good job.

fmstrat ,

Would recommend Debian then. The switch was pretty smooth for me. Almost everything worked the same, but without the snaps.
