This looks neat. It’ll be sweat it it could get

• tap gestures (double tap -> launch app)
• Use app shortcuts as icons in pins (My apps shortcut instead of play store app)
• lock desktop mode

Will use this instead of Neo for a few days to see how it goes.

Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time (BBR)

What services do you run on FreeBSD? Does using FreeBSD limit you in the number of apps you can have, as most of them target Linux?

Hiding read posts means they’re now lost (when you’re logged in) if you didn’t save the link somewhere. Can’t find it after a day and now you have to check it on incognito.

But if you don’t hide posts you’ve already read, you end up with the same posts on your feed.

it’s a very small nitpick though. having new posts load every time I visit lets me see a lot of new content, I wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

I hope some app devs can put up a section for “read posts” locally so instances aren’t overwhelmed.

That’s just wild. I always heard oxygen deprivation leads to brain damage and stuff?

Between 30-180 seconds of oxygen deprivation, you may lose consciousness. At the one-minute mark, brain cells begin dying. At three minutes, neurons suffer more extensive damage, and lasting brain damage becomes more likely. At five minutes, death becomes imminent

Gadgetbridge lets you connect and get data from supported smart or fitness watch without manufacturers app. Completely local.

he’s not getting anything done without stackoverflow, so might as well download it all.

I hope you don’t mind some questions.

• what are the specs of the machine?
• average number of users?
• which one do you think is most resource intensive
• which one is time consuming to maintain/upgrade?

I am curious about selfhosting an instance for a community but am afraid federation will consume too much time/resource/money for a side project.

more tools, the better. As long as it’s running on activitypub everyone can talk to each other. I don’t see any problems.

Having a competition might make lemmy devs implement more features or vice versa. It keeps developers from being too egotistical when users have options.

IPv6 usually have unique IP addresses (non-local) for every device in the network. does that mean it will malicious actors can target a device specifically inside a network?

Anyone know what kind of minimum requirements does it need for reliable performance? I couldn’t find them in their docs.

Translation:

I really liked what I saw in #KDE but due to my habit with .deb packages I think I’ll do better in a distro based on @debian

AFAIK it’s maintained by a group called Ablaze and I think I saw them mention they are university students and opensource enthusiasts in Github discussions.

There are blog posts on their site about changes to their team and leadership. Their blog is in Japanese but I just translate it with Firefox’s inbuilt translator. So I don’t think it’s a single dev.

man reads few comments on the internet.

man takes it literally.

Good features. If you make a fork, people would be interested in trying it out.

I’ve used libre.fm before but it seems the project is not active anymore.

it’s always either a hit or a miss. The player UI really needs to show if the instance you’re streaming from is online and working or not. Otherwise, you just keep waiting for the loading to complete, but it never does and you go the the preference to check and the instance isn’t up anymore. You change it back to another instance, go back to the player, check again and change instance again until it works. Then sometime later the same thing happens again.

Newpipe mostly always works and is good enough for me.
