im not sure the message has much power since none of major aggressors are catholics. or not practising catholics at least. why would they care what this guy is saying?

yes so what. the title is "1 month without..."

he could have gone a month without using youtube and then posted a video on youtube and he still wouldnt be contradicting himself

a "poor mans" backup can be useful for things like this, movie/tv/music collections, and will only be a few MB instead of TB.

if things go south at least you can rebuild your collection in time. obviously if theres some rare files that were hard to get then you can backup those ones, but even at that it will probably still be a small backup

one of the main reasons i switched to posteo was that it only costs 1 euro a month. i dont use email a whole lot so i couldnt really justify paying whatever proton were charging

Wasp uses Python?! does that mean you can make apps and watch faces using python as well?

i had my eye on bangle.js for this reason, to make custom apps, but i havnt been too pushed about having to write them using javascript

even if youve deleted your twitter account dont forget there are redirect extensions that can redirect any twitter links to nitter, just in case you click on a link by accident. its better to be safe than sorry!

good answers already so i will give you a different example.

my basic understanding of it is that docker was created originally for developers. im not sure if anyone planned for it to be a way to package up software for end users.

before docker existed you would have this issue where devs would be working on an app, say jellyfin, but each dev might be on a different platform (windows, mac, linux), or be using a different OS version, or different versions of whatever software... which meant it happened often that the app would work for one dev but not another. maybe one dev updated C# to version 2.3 and told everyone else to update, but someone missed the memo and is still running version 2.2 and now jellyfin wont work for them and time would be wasted trying to figure out where the mismatch was

so docker was a way to fix that "version hell" problem. every single thing that is needed for the app to run is kept inside the container. one dev will update something to a new version, then that container is shared to all other devs and each dev only has to worry about updating to the newest container before they start working on something.

app settings are kept in a separate location and the app data in another. in the case of jellyfin, the app data would be the movies or tv shows folder for example. then when you start the docker container, it will symlink those 2 locations/folders inside the container and the jellyfin app can access them as if they were folders that were actually stored inside the container.

so having the settings and data separate like that makes it very easy to update the container to a new version, or for a developer is probably useful being able to rollback to an older container for testing. its similar to how say windows puts the program files in one location and settings in the appdata folder

for end users its handy if theres a new version of jellyfin or whatever that isnt released yet but you want try it out, you can run 2 containers at the same time and both of them can access the same settings and data. (maybe with the newer one in read-only mode so it doesnt mess up your settings or data!)

if youve ever been put off by the thoughts of having to install self-hosted web apps or manage a cloud VPS or a DIY server at home, then pikapods might be worth checking out

they make it very easy to get up and running. just sign up (they give you 5 euro free credit to get started), install the apps you want, then you will be charged a certain amount depending on how many apps youre using

theres about 90 apps to choose from but some notable ones would be Immich for photos, Joplin for note-taking, Blinko for something more like Google Keep or Pinterest, FreshRSS for managing RSS feeds, Wallabag for saving articles to read later, Navidrome for running your own music server, Nextcloud as an alternative to Google Drive or OneDrive

im running wallabag and freshRSS myself and theres not much to comment on really, they were both very straight forward to set up!

can anyone comment on how the files are actually stored? is everything imported into a database or can it just work with any sort of folder structure you have already?

KDE Connect. its an app that lets you share lots of different things between your devices, and it does this over your home network without needing any "cloud"

  • send files from one device to another
  • share the clipboard. handy for copying text or a link to your phone
  • get notifications from your phone on your laptop
  • have music playing on your laptop and pause or change the track from your phone
  • control your laptop from your phone, move the cursor around, left/right click etc

"We don't have some kind of platform where we can organise stuff without the algorithm just hiding it after a day"

theres a server/forum on Revolt called "EU Vibes" that would be a bit better for organising things than here or on mastodon. https://rvlt.gg/eSHZgSP9

they mention BuyEuropean and BuyFromEU in their description so im guessing it was set up recently enough.

Revolt is a Discord alternative if anyone isnt familar. its based in the UK but beggers cant be choosers eh!

one of my favourite things when i switched to linux first was using the meta+Q hotkey to shutdown a program (this was with PopOS i think). with windows there is alt+F4 but some programs only use shift+alt+F4 which makes it a lot more confusing. on top of all that if youre using a laptop then its another keypress for the Fn key in some cases

ive spent decades not saying please and thank you to computers. its simply too late to start now and theres also the risk that my microwave or alarm clock could start getting "lofty ideas" if they see how polite im being to LLMs all of a sudden. its just not worth the hassle
