Also who on Lemmy is upvoting this shit?

Yeah, and that’s how connections work.

A lot of the pals aren’t even winning. It’s mostly just trump becoming richer.

I mostly miss the fries tbh. Fortunately a brewery near me has the bombest fries I’ve ever had, but sometimes you do just want those garbage McDonald’s fries.

What’s even more weird is that going somewhere that isn’t a chain, like a local burger joint, doesn’t make me feel as bad. Maybe it’s all in my head or maybe the food is that much better.

Does it taste nice? I quit fast food 3 years ago but of all the things they serve, I don’t miss their burgers. Their fries and nuggets maybe, but I never want a McDonald’s burger. They just aren’t good at all, not by any metric.

I hate this style of titles. I’m a gearhead and own 5 vehicles and a motorcycle. None of them are a smartphone on wheels, the newest one is newly 20 years old.

Oh my god I need LubeLogger. I only looked it up because of the… questionable… name but I currently use Fuelio and I hadn’t even thought to look up a self hosted thing.

Data Hoarder 💾

• Fleet: 6–10 devices · More than 50 TB
• Motivation: Fun / the hobby itself, Customization & full control, Independence from Big Tech & subscriptions
• My MVPs: Immich, PeerTube, Ghost, Actual Budget, Home Assistant

I create videos for YouTube/PeerTube and backup all of the raw footage. The actual storage count is currently 130TB in my main NAS with about 250TB for an offsite cold storage backup (as most of my data doesn’t change much) and on-site live-ish backup. I also have the benefit of being able to get reputable used commercial grade HDDs from work for $10/TB, even right now, it makes it way too easy. Shameless plug of my PeerTube instance: https://joeltube.com/ or @JoelKalich on YouTube.

I dunno. There’s already a separate Linux VR DB, as Proton doesn’t really do that for games that support flat-screen and VR. https://db.vronlinux.org/. Unfortunately it isn’t kept that up to date, I requested American Truck Sim be added over a year ago now, and it still hasn’t been.

Anyway, as we see more and more enshittification (not that I would expect ProtonDB to enshittify any time soon) I’d rather my services and websites to be more spread out as compared to all on one website. I can type in one URL to check on flat-screen games and a different one to check on Steam Frame compatibility, it’s no big deal.

Why are permissions so damn confusing? I say this as someone who knows why permissions are needed, such as location to find nearby devices. But why must we keep track of “permission X is for thing unrelated to X” in our heads? Now I haven’t tried to make a permissions system for the masses, so I guess I can’t say too much, but it doesn’t seem that difficult to just make the permission name relate to what it does and provide a short synopsis for it.

That’s me. Hell, you wouldn’t believe this, but I’m on Lemmy on my phone as I type this.

Part of that $1k went into water proofing it. I paid for it, might as well make use of that feature.

What in the boomer is this comment.

This thread is a great reminder that Lemmy users do not represent the general public. I put a phone mount in the shower so I don’t have to pause a podcast or whatever to take a shower, it’s nice. I don’t really love showers and struggle to stop what I’m doing to change direction, so it’s one less barrier to entry. My partner and some friends who have used my shower have also appreciated it.

It worked with ProtonMail

I figured it was something like that, thanks for the explanation!

Twice a year is crazy. I suppose most of my maintainence is adding drives (I’m a creator and I definitely totally need to archive all of my footage), but I also run a fair few apps that have needed manual update steps, so I do all my updates manually so I can fix stuff if it breaks.

The best implementation of this I’ve seen has to be Ghost, an open source self-hostable newsletter/patreon thing. They detect what email provider you have and when you enter your email, will display a link to open your inbox. It’s super neat, and I haven’t seen it anywhere else, and I’m also not sure how they do it. For something self-hostable, I’ll definitely take one less attack vector.

Yeah. That’s something I miss from Reddit in it’s hay day. It became so mainstream that you ran into a lot of non-nerds. Lemmy users, myself included to some extent, definitely moreso fit a stereotype. Sometimes that’s neat. Sometimes it is really super not neat.
