Why do we need registered AppStores? We already have appstores like the one by Amazon, Samsung, etc. I’m not craving more Google sanctioned appstores I crave MRE google not sanctioned appstores where I can install the apps from which Google does not approve of.

I found a cool guy to talk to because he read my blog post about “Scaling on Linux” https://jeena.net/scaling-on-linux and he reached out via email and told me that we had similar problems. We met for a beer and some more Linux talk and we’re in contact on Matrix since then. It turned out that he hosted the FOSS for all conference last weekend so I went there too and interestingly met a lot of people from Lemmy there: https://piefed.jeena.net/post/271523

What I’m trying to say is reach out to people, it will develop into cool things over time.

But jelyfin is only partially for streaming, the big thing is descovery with thumbnails, metadata, categories, search, etc.

Sorry, I was mistaken! Somehow you post in a different time zone than me and I miss your posts, when I go to the community then I see there is quite a lot, but you have the same problem as me that it’s mostly only you who is posting ^^.

It’s not used for harassment because strong social norms discourage it. You would lose face if you’d do it.

We already had [email protected] but it’s not much happening there.

Here in South Korea every car has the phone number of the owner displayed through the windshield so you can always call them when they parked false or so.

When a bridge works like the discord and the Signal and WhatsApp ones it’s amazing not to need to log in to those services anymore just to see if someone wrote something to you.

Sadly most of the bridges are either broken like the Facebook one or straight out don’t work like she KakaoTalk and WeeChat ones because the services remove capabilities which before made it possible in a hacky way.

I run it on Ubuntu and installed it with apt about 7 years ago and had zero problems, it updates itself when I run apt upgrade, it turns itself off for a couple of seconds and then it’s back up.

One cool thing is that I had no idea that this happened until I just read it on their blog even though me, my friends and family use Matrix extensively.

But all my friends who are on Matrix host their own servers because it’s quite easy, and my family uses my own server, only my brother uses a matrix.org account, but he doesn’t write much.

This is decentralization working as it’s supposed too, when enough participants are federated and not centralized.

On Lemmy the lemmy.world and the piefed.social instances are similar to matrix.org and I think all of them, including mastodon.social should close new registrations. I mean the flagship instances have their place in the beginning, but once they become so big they should be locked. The teams behind them can open another instance if they want to keep growing, but they should be run on a separate infrastructure to prevent bringing them down at the same time.

Samsung galaxy smart tags are a thing and Find too, I’m using it on a daily basis.

I use Syncthing as an alternative to iCloud to sync files between devices. But there is also NextCloud and even commercial offerings like DropBox.

For Photos I use Immich and it’s amazing.

And at least here in Korea Samsung Pay works everywhere while my wife with Apple Pay has to carry coach or a credit card with her everywhere she goes.

Yes instances can be defederated, but on a single user instance you get defederated because of what you did, not because of some other people did.

What do you mean have no reach? I’m on a single user instance and can write to any community on any instance I want.

I’m lucky enough that Linux is one of the half official OS which are allowed and half supported at work.

I’m even more lucky that IT isn’t tech savy enough to be able to do to the Linux installations what they do to Windows and Mac where they preinstalled some rootkits and don’t give you admin rights.

Therefore I’m a Linux enjoyer without involvement of IT. I need to fix all my problems myself and do security and backups myself, but that’s a price I’m more than willing to pay.

100 what? Percent? Potatoes?

I’m using Syncthing for sharing it, so as long as one other device is online it shares the newest version of the database.

It’s like saying:

I don’t care about morality, I only care about legality.

I have a RTX 3060 and just installed the proprietary driver on Arch with pacman and that was it.

Everybody loses their memories all the time.

You are not your memories, it’s not your memories which define you.
