Yeah, combines with beaverhabits, for all around fun action.

No, mostly because Google Search is just terrible. The app itself is great.

At least with Searx you can search multiple private search engines (your preference) at once. You can also selfhost it.

Well who knows?

I have no problem switching to an alternative is Cromite bellies-up tomorrow.

For now though I’ll stick with it.

The biggest problem is the scarce availability outside the US.

Or should I say, that the biggest problem is software (OS) compatibility with other devices than the Pixel?

My money is on the latter.

Why?

Cromite is excellent.

Too bad it’s chromium based, but works a whole lot smoother and snappier than Firefox based browsers, oh and safer as well… So for the time being, Cromite it is.

Librewolf on desktop Linux is my weapon of choise.

Hmmm. That could be what’s slowing down the GPS locking on my old android phone I use for my fitness app.

No SIM card or WiFi access. Takes a good 20 min just to get a GPS lock.

That means it fucks up my distance monitoring and time intervals, if I don’t have patience to wait, which I honesty don’t!

The app is basically a fancy timer at this point.

;)

“Old age” disks!

Hahaha. That’s hilarious.

Just like society labeling.

Yes I’m sure.

Not really searching for 'em though. :)

Ouch!

Pierced my heart, that one.

Even Picard gets some metadata wrong on auto. Don’t trust it blindly.

Be careful and only do changes manually.

Key features:

• Schedule for nine social media platforms (Threads, Pinterest, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, Dribbble, YouTube, Instagram.)

• Fundamental analytics for almost all social media platforms.

• AI Features: Copilots, AI Auto-complete, Canva-like editor.

Sorry to budge in like this, but I don’t use any of these garbage social platforms, at all. Copilot is also strongly against my belief of the right to online privacy.

The reason why I started to selfhost and use opensource apps/OS, was to get away from all this nonsense.

Lemmy is the only platform I use, used to be on reddit, because the main purpose is to help or to get help/advise on issues. Like the old forums.

I’m a firm believer that social platforms are destroying generations with its toxic/competitive environments.

Rant over.

Shower me with downvotes if you believe I’m wrong.

Personally I use gonic with the Subsonic API, and Ultrasonic on Android.

Gonic is a super lightweight subsonic API server with a very basic static stats “dashboard”. As so, it’s great for lower end devices. Only problem is that it sometimes fails to pick up the album art is some cases, if that don’t disturb you, then it’s great.

Airsonic (abandonedware) is the best subsonic server in my option. It displays all album arts correctly and is folder based which works much better than Navidrome’s Id tag reader, which is a dumpster fire.

Airsonic is on the heavier side on ram usage, around 1GB. Can probably run just fine on 500mb. Probably around what Jellyfin uses.

Ultrasonic is a great android app. It is just not updated for quite some time now.

I’m also running Jellyfin and I’ll experiment with Finamp. Let’s see if it takes the number one spot from Ultrasonic :)

Edit: Ultrasonic’s strong point is also the caching of music for offline listening. Not sure if Finamp has the capability.

Edit2: Yes, it can cache music.

Yeah, Tumbleweed has a good track record with NVIDIA drivers in my experience. As with updates in general.

Although I still use X11 as Wayland still has graphical issues in some apps for me. Usually Flatpaks. That makes it unusable for me for the time being.

Edit: I have an older card (1050ti), so maybe I don’t get the latests drivers anymore?? On version 550.

Yes, Docker apps are more appropriate for servers and most apps are “made” to run 24/7 to serv the home or workplace.

They are very much worth the “work to setup” as they can be transfered/replicated to any system.

Flatpak and the alike are for running apps on a desktop/laptop.

That’s funny since Nextcloud is a bloated mess.

“Unreliable Backup” is probably the worse.

Wait, I have a better name. Duplicati!

Found a Swede in this joint! Cheers.

Criminals according to what standard ? In some countries, activism or sympathy with a cause is considered criminal behavior.

Exactly!

It is a slippery slope.

Even with services like Proton (big company in the privacy realm) etc, you can only fully trust yourself.

That’s why documents are always client side encrypted before I send my data, to any cloud platform.

And thanks to their Signal connection graph, the government can easily tell what other people they communicate privately with.

So what? I’m sure your neighbor couple talk privately to each other most of the time and you know that happens. The important part is that the conversation is private.

Signal is not an anonymous messenger app. It never claimed to be. It’s for you to have a private conversation where your device holds the encryption keys.

Not like WhatsApp, where Meta has access to the keys of all conversations. Also 95 % of the worlds population is on WhatsApp, so why don’t you go and complain to them for lack of privacy and security?

If you want an “anonymous” chat client they are out there to use. Good luck getting more people onboard other than your savy friend.

Well, they partly took that “feature” away because people thought they were sending encrypted SMS messages which is not true. False sense of security.

They just took the secure high road and ditched SMS. It also made the app leaner with a smaller attack surface.

I think they did the right decision. Signal is the secure choice for the masses.

Having said that, I’m using Molly-Foss as it has less footprints, no Google messaging framework, leaner than Signal, with no crypto payment, and an encrypted database at rest.
