Quick q what are you using to host your podcast site? I went and followed on Mastodon, since that works best for personal lists for me.

I like Linux and I like the idea of prepping (or sometimes making fun of it) so I think this should be good.

Yep! We smol.

Some services Ive been looking at:

• Cheapest seems to be namecheaps own offerings: https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/email/
• Proton mail seems to be good, but I would have to pay extra for the Thunderbird integration by the look of things.

Wonder if they are trying to go after all the public/open source apps that are pulling from their site and removing the ads.

Or “pirate” the drug like they do with insulin.

Yep same with PoPOS. Great little distro. It’s been my daily driver for years now.

I have one running on the equivalent of a pi. It works no problem. The biggest issue is the constant io and network traffic but it’s not terrible.

I wish there was a only poll once every x amount of time instead of the constant polling, but it’s a good solution. I use lemmy.world as the main account and the other account when I need to post under my real name with some projects I run. Plus it makes for a good development instance since I work on lemmy from time to time

Wow this article goes into the nuance. And it terrified me.

Tilvideo and makertube are great.

That’s big news! Wow. This whole saga is getting to be a big deal.

I have the same phone stock os. How’s graphene?

I wonder if it has anything to do with the hurricane.

A company called Clearview AI broke that unwritten rule and developed a powerful facial recognition system using billions of images scraped from social media. Primarily, Clearview sells its product to law enforcement. Clearview has also explored a pair of smart glasses that would run its facial recognition technology. The company signed a contract with the U.S. Air Force on a related study.

Just another reason to not post all your images to social media. Share with family/friends who care but thats it.

What does the article say? Its asking to sign up.

If only there was a berg for code with this repo. Too bad there isn’t.

Yeah my positive take is this might be a good excuse for people to think of repairability again.

Because, you know, if very little new chips being made in the near future, we are going to have to.

I would love to get a fairphone. Its just 4x the price of everything else. I cant possibly afford it here in the US.

Ive done that but just wifi. It works. Its more of a “for fun” kinda deal. I cant get rid of my smart phone because of a couple of necessary apps for work.

The CPAP lockout is something I went through. The company behind my CPAP does not allow you to get ANYTHING off the device. But there is an SD Card that you can get all the info you want from your old system. Its arbitrarily locked out.

You are also unable to repair anything on the device without insurance getting involved. And insurance is often at OEM prices (think 200+ for a basic mask). Thankfully, people have illegally added STLs/chips/parts/etc… online that you can basically reverse engineer the entire device nowadays. As long as you use medical safe materials, it saves you literally thousands of dollars. Ive replaced quite a few parts and the device is still working after many years of usage.
