NEW FAVORITE HOBBY JUST DROPPED! Watching Marylanders lose their shit over the mere suggestion of maybe NOT naming the replacement for the Francis Key Scott bridge after the slaver who openly thought of black people as inferior.
Hey Maryland. It's a bridge. Scott took a British song and put new lyrics (including racist ones, see 3rd verse) on it.
@invidious Can you talk a bit about how you usually go about fixing these youtube breaking changes? How do you investigate, what is the ideal solution (appearing like the official yt client to avoid detection?) I'm looking at the PR, how did you extract the ANDROID_API_KEY? Maybe if more people know these things, then more people can help next time it happens. Youtube will be getting more and more aggressive now.
It all depends on how much you treasure that 2TB of data. If you cannot afford to lose it, then you don't really have any other option. All I'm saying is that self-hosting and backups go hand in hand. Self-hosting without backups is just asking for trouble. But what you are talking about sounds more like 2TB of old photos, that's not really self-hosting. Just get a second 2TB drive and copy it there. This thread started with talks about password managers and their backups - those aren't 2TB.
I rely on Bitwarden (slooowly migrating from… a spreadsheet…) and am thinking of keeping a master backup to be SyncThing-synchronized across all my devices, but I’m not sure of how to secure the SyncThing-synchronized files’ local access if any one of my Windows or Android units got stolen and somehow cracked into or...
@magic_lobster_party I beg to differ. The medium of payment has always been the bigger problem for me, whenever I wanted to donate. When I found out it can be done through F-Droid Bitcoin button by a single click, I started sending monthly donations to some OSS apps. PayPal is cancer, even MasterCard and Visa are much more hassle (and risk) than Bitcoin, and sending an international wire transaction is completely out of the question.
@CoderSupreme I just discovered that if I pay with my MasterCard, and the vendor saves my card details even against my wish, and then they make a new transaction, my bank is not able to reverse it. So yeah.. I guess I'm never paying by MasterCard ever again.
@TrumpetX Sorry but your two proposed solutions are not available to me, and both would put me at the mercy of big American corporations. I'm not saying crypto is the only way, but all the other ways are either not available in 90% of the world, or not acceptable for anyone a bit privacy conscious. Out of the remaining options, crypto is by far the easiest to use. And no intermediaries necessary.
@magic_lobster_party I mean.. cryptocurrency fans are also regularly bullied to the point that it's a bit risky to even mention my preference. And having a bitcoin wallet costs nothing, so the wikipedia decision must be caused by something else - maybe also more of a marketing thing. The crypto haters caused so much damage, it's really sad.
@mykhaylo Imagine Captain Pickard on Enterprise, they are under attack, Scotty shouting "Shields are at 50%!" and Pickard just responding "So what? It's just the shields, not the ship. No worry".
Ukraine is the shield for Europe and NATO. If Ukraine falls, russia will be at full swing, developed and tested new missiles, capturing all remaining Ukrainian resources. The next country after that could actually be done for in three days. We won't have two years to decide whether to send jets or not.
Anyone who brings Palestine into a discussion about Ukraine is a russian shill, no exceptions. Look at this guy - account created 4 days ago, 3 followers, 1 following, couple posts about laptops then suddenly parroting russian narrative. https://spotthetroll.org/
@ReakDuck Huh? When was the last time you saw Matrix? These are "spaces" you are talking about, widely supported in client apps. And I wouldn't even see it as the killer feature.
@ReakDuck so why not work on adding those features to Matrix, instead of reinventing the wheel in another closed platform from scratch? The network effect is by far the most important factor when it comes to any chat app, or building a community. Matrix solves the network effect by being interoperable, having bridges.
It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?
@SorteKanin I'd like to see that. I have already onboarded about 35 students and my whole family to matrix, nobody had any problems with signup. Bigger problem is later if they get the infamous "Unable to decrypt message" error.
@poVoq but that analogy would only work if the government was the only customer, footing the whole bill. More appropriate perspective is looking at how much would they pay if they got the same service from say Microsoft, or Slack.

There should be a way to give directly to the developers
