mander.xyz is nice for all the STEM communities

Some brainstorming from me:

• Ideally people do not buy more teslas
• An initial goal would be to use the vehicle without it phoning home. Would the TeslaMate project be sufficient for that?
• Long term, would it be possible to replace the software running on the car’s console? Or would it be better to tear out the console and replace it with something else?

Alternatively, what would a recycling/conversion program look like?

Manually downloading HTML posts would be more difficult, but it might be possible by parsing the data export you can download from Facebook

I should have specified, people we’re downvoting you

But looks like the score is positive again 🙂

I’ve heard Kobo is better than the other big players when it comes to interoperability with open formats / self hosted setups.

As for the servers

The main one

A popular newer one

Also let’s not downvote good faith comments, especially when they’re phrased as a question and wanting to learn more

Oh interesting, I didn’t know that was a thing

Quoting from: https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/1bapfkl

The armv8 architecture which the DS218 uses is supported by Container Manager, Synology just put a hardcoded config into the official package to exclude certain models from installing it:

exclude_model="synology_rtd1296_ds118 synology_rtd1296_ds218 synology_rtd1296_ds218play synology_rtd1296_ds418 synology_rtd1296_ds418j synology_armada37xx_ds119j synology_rtd1296_rs819"

Pretty sure the https://github.com/007revad/ContainerManager_for_all_armv8 linked above just removes the hardcoded exclusion and doesn’t need to change anything else to get it to work.

If that workaround looks shady, you might be better off just installing docker directly

Which Synology NAS is it, and can you install Container Manager on it? That might be the simplest option since your files are already on that device. There should be lots of guides out there for it.

Container Manager is basically a worse DockGE / Portainer by Synology. It should be sufficient for pasting in the Jellyfin docker compose, but if you wanted you could also spin up DockGE/Portainer first and do it through that interface (or SSH into the NAS and do it all with the command line)

So the setup would be

• run Jellyfin as a Docker container on the Synology NAS (using either Container Manager or DockGE/Portainer/straight up command line)
• try it out with the web browser/desktop app/mobile apps to see if you like it
• find a setup that you find convenient for the TV (ex. Android TV apps with some device, the desktop app on the PC, etc)

EDIT: Looks like there are official guides for it, as well as lots of videos on YouTube: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/synology/

I gather Plex is at least semi-commercial while Jellyfin is the open source but worse option.

I haven’t used Plex enough to judge, but from the comments I’ve seen it seems that Jellyfin is now on par with or better than Plex. There was also some news recently about them moving more core features (remote playback?) to the paid plans, so I imagine there will be more people moving over soon.

There are a lot of options for client side apps, official and unofficial, so you might be able to find something specific to your setup

I thought it might be in settings but I don’t see it. For me, I got an option for “just this one” vs “always” when I tried to open a video, and it seems to be remembering that.

You could try backing up any settings and resetting the app to see if you get anything different, although it really should let you pick a default at any point

The Fossify one is decent

On my end, both were pretty bad

Content moderation seemed to be non-existent, and the reports might as well have gone into the trash

Also no matter how much I tried to control the feed, I’d still get content that was gross (trypophobia), sexual, or chumbox like.

The GoodKarmaToolkit in particular is an extra project that is managed by ArchiveBox, but the listed services aren’t made by them. I’m not as familiar with ArchiveBox itself, and it looks like there’s an open issue about AI stuff: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/1139

There is another called Data Hoarder that does this job too.

Yup, Hoarder was the one I was planning to use for bookmark management: https://hoarder.app/

Maybe Snapchat

I’ve always heard of snapchat being the worst of them all, so maybe it depends on what kind of content you follow?

I with the Pixelfed creator would just focus on Pixelfed, I use that and it’s a total win, just needs some kinks worked out and more popularity.

Now that they have some funding and are building up a small team, it might let them focus on a few things at once. I agree though that it won’t replace Tiktok. At this point, doomscrolling is a psychological addiction that takes effort to move away from.

Yup, the installation guide says to comment out the things you don’t want to run

There’s the good-karma-kit, which is a Docker compose bundle of some popular projects: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/good-karma-kit

It could act as a list to go off of, if you don’t want to host all of them. The link has more info on each, as well as which ones are non-profit / for-profit

Overview

Have some space computing power and want to donate it to a good cause? How about 10+ good causes at once?

♻️ put an under-utilized system to good use
🚲 use as much or as little CPU/RAM/DISK as you want
✨ 100% more soul warming than mining
📈 geek out over your CPU/disk/bandwidth stats on the leaderboards

This is a collection of containers that all contribute to public-good projects:

• networks: Tor, i2p
• computing: boinc, foldingathome
• archiving: archivewarrior, zimfarm, kiwix, archivebox, pywb
• storage: ipfs, storj, sia, transmission

This v1 list was started by the ArchiveBox project, but it’s open to contributions.

There are a few

I’ve been playing with LemmySchedule to schedule out posts ahead of time. This can be good if you want to sit down once and queue a number of posts to go out over the course of a few hours, or if you want to make recurring discussion threads (which work great for building up a community slowly). For example, I’m testing it out with another account here: @otters_raft@lemmy.ca

There is also @bot@rss.ponder.cat, which you can set up to post from RSS feeds. This sounds closest to what you want to do from the other thread. The instructions are here: https://rss.ponder.cat/post/34622. For example, I have it set up to post from a youtube channel in !marinemammalrescue@lemmy.ca

There may be others out there :)

Oh that’s cool, does your device have hardware keys then?

Something feels off with the UI, maybe the rounding or padding?

Good time for FOSS keyboard apps to get some more love

Heliboard and Futo were the recommendations from what I remember?

Cross posted to !opensource@programming.dev, and looks like someone already shared it on !thunderbird@lemmy.world

I think the important part is about who is running the server, rather than who made the software

The fediverse is interesting in that context because each instance can decide where they set up the infrastructure or how they process data / requests. The same applies to self hosting

I saw an article that outlined which country each fediverse platform “originated” from, such as Canada for Pixelfed and Germany for Mastodon. That’s fun to know about, but otherwise not important to users compared to the instances themselves

At most it might speak to which laws will govern the project itself, but even then someone can fork a project that goes astray
