  • Meta could make social media posting immortal — and we should all cancel our Facebook accounts right now

  • Deleted my account in Fall 2025 after +15 years. Felt good

  • Europe is ready to ditch US tech for private alternatives

  • FYI, Proton CEO also caught flak for praising Trump picks, so they are playing both sides of the field FYI

  • I've collected all my useful bash scripts and command aliases into one CLI, but I want more!

    Jump

  • Here are some of the ones I use most frequently that are somewhat unique:

     bash
        
# Grep Bash files
function rgb() { rg "$1" ~/.bash_aliases ; }
function rgj() { journalctl -b0 --grep="$1" --no-pager; }
function rgj4() { journalctl --since "4 hours ago" --grep="$1" --no-pager; }
function rgj1d() { journalctl --since "1 day ago" --grep="$1" --no-pager; }
function rgrc() { rg "$1" ~/.bashrc ; }
function rgt() { rg "$1" ~/.taskrc ; }
function rp() { rg "$1" ~/.bash_profile ; }

# Sharing aliases across devices
alias dba='diff -s ~/.bash_aliases  ~/Sync/.bash_aliases.bak|cat' # Diff between loaded vs saved
alias ba2s='cp ~/.bash_aliases ~/Sync/.bash_aliases.bak'  # Replace saved w/ loaded
alias s2ba='cp ~/Sync/.bash_aliases.bak ~/.bash_aliases' # Replace loaded w/ saved
# I have the same for bashrc and taskrc and bash_profile as well for the most part altho they are used more sparingly

  • Depending on your device, gadgetbridge might do the trick as an intermediary. I went from my Garmin watch -> AmazFit watch based on compatibility w/ GadgetBridge and it allows you to export the .gps files and upload to many self-hosted apps.

  • Theoretical Private Age Confirmation -- Possible?

    Jump

  • IMO, your suggestion assumes that today's government and tomorrow's government will have the same ideals and viewpoints on pornography, and not for 1-2 administrations, but indefinitely. Being able to reverse engineer someone via metadata is possible as is, and likely will become even more finetuned as we AI evolves.

    As an American, there are plenty of examples under the current administration where data shared in confidence by undocumented immigrants are now being used to target them for deportation.

    It's kind of like sharing data with a company indefinitely because of their current ToS, which is just a snapshot in time. Today's "helpful" approach towards data collection becomes a key part of surveillance in tomorrow's world.

  • It isn't the same singer. That is why only WorldStarHipHop and this random site are reporting it

  • What would the world look like if every worker got together and Unionized for a universale wage that helps everyone? Instead of one country trying to screw over another?

    Jump

  • 2-3 years ago, it would be great. Nowadays, I think it will just expedite the embrace of AI as an alternative, but I might be pessimistic.

  • Does anyone know how to get an RSS feed for the newsletter? I am using killthenewsletter right now, but it expires prematurely sometimes

  • Open source music player for Android that supports .pls streaming radio playlists

    Jump

  • I believe in FOSS to the point that I often unnecessarily uninstall mysql for mariadb.

    With that said, I hate to be the guy w/ a non-FOSS recommendation but my suggestion, Symfonium (a paid app that has a free trial), does have a way to get the full version without Play Services.

    I use it for online radio and it also lets you add descriptions/tags you can filter stations based on the tags for if/when your list gets long. And the online radio isn't even the most popular feature for most users:

    • Completely reconfigurable layouts
    • Completely customizable 'Now Playing Screens'
    • It's just one dev and he is VERY responsive to feedback (perhaps overly as he chimes in on most negative reviews on Play Store) and has built out various features based on forum suggestions/bug reports
    • Smart playlists: For example they have Favorites, Recently Added, Most Played, Random, Rediscover. And all of these can be further split by Album/Artist/Playlist/Track
    • It is integrated w/ my server running Jellyfin, so I can play music across all my devices and allows you to cache/download content for offline playback but otherwise allows you to stream over LAN

    There's too much to cover about it w/o sounding like a shill. Here are some people that aren't me w/ their opinions:

    And here is an update on changes posted by the dev last week:

  • Android Self hosting

    Jump

  • Are you using DNS Rewrites for jellyfin? I am using that (via AdGuard Home) w/ my Reverse Proxy (Zoraxy) and most of the apps work outside of jellyfin. Wondering if I need to configure the domain in the compose/env file 🤔

  • Android Self hosting

    Jump

  • Any other tips for the VM and/or GrapheneOS compatibility? Ie: did you use a different profile? I run Debian throughout my house as is, but plan on integrating the VM for better integration but was a little hesitant to be an early adopter due to the potential nuances. (lemme know if you have a blog/gist/etc covering it too)

  • "TikTok is stealing your data."

    Jump

  • I think the issue is that TiKtok is just as bad as all the other social media and they are owned by a foreign adversary.

    Foreign adversaries (ie China, Russia and America) use social media for influence campaigns on each other and therefore their social media platforms can't be trusted. This is why Chinese people similarly can't use Google or Facebook

  • Exploring a Potential Universal Connector for Non-ActivityPub Platforms in the Fediverse

    Jump

  • I use the bluesky bridge. One of the issues is that it is opt-in instead of opt out. I feel like most of the people I find that are using the bridge are likely also part of the federated universe to begin w/.

  • What is the point of Windows recall?

  • My uneducated guess is that they need AI-related features to sell more units and this was one that seemed useful for consumers. They were mistaken, but that's my thought process. I use Linux so I'm viewing things indifferent on this end

  • Trump rages at Biden for wrecking his plans for executions: ‘Makes no sense’

    Jump

  • Can you reiterate what you were trying to say then? To me, these quotes sound reductive but perhaps there's nuance I'm overlooking:

    each politician acting in their personal self-interest

    both of them have thoroughly demonstrated to be their only priority

    This is political theater where they're playing with the lives of the people in question.

  • Trump rages at Biden for wrecking his plans for executions: ‘Makes no sense’

    Jump

  • I think it's the opposite. The public opinion has turned on him and so everything he does is critiqued. It's nudge on by the media but is also the cycle of celebrities du jour

  • History Shows Big Changes in ‘Big Government’ Are Hard to Achieve

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if NYT is trying to soothe our anxieties or make us complacent.

    I think the level of access to the president and unscrupulous/amoral actors in the administration is unrivaled and will lead to unprecedented outcomes.

    IMO it's like predicting in January 2020 that the US would be unscathed from Covid because we have had +100 years without an extreme pandemic.
