  • I turned my streaming stick into a dumb app launcher, and that's all it should be

    Jump

  • MSI cubi fanless with KDE Neon autologin to Plasma Bigscreen with Vacuumtube, steam big screen mode, jellyfin... Remote controller is a Rii F8 mini which has a few programmable IR buttons for the old dumb TV.

    The future is now...

  • Bluesky’s active user base is shrinking as its focus expands beyond the app: 10.4 million monthly active users worldwide in June 2026, down 27.2% year-over-year.

  • It should have never been allowed for Facebook to take over WhatsApp and Instagram or Google taking over YouTube... It's the opposite of what capitalism should be according to people who defend it: allowing such mega monopolies destroys the few benefits the free market has to offer. It stunts innovation and encourages enshittification and anti consumer vendor lock-in behaviour

  • Yes, immich sends all my pictures to the homeserver AND I can immediately see all my partners pictures pop up on my phone. Immich is very cool for that.

    I too dislike that immich "scrambles" my pictures. I had it quite well organised over multiple decades (folders per year & location), but how well immich works seems worth losing this idea of organisational control over the collection. The immich duplicate detection for example is superb (it isn't on nextcloud). It for example detects very easily that a 400kb sent or received picture is actually the same as a 4Mb much higher resolution original picture with a completely different filename and different metadata.

    I still have my pictures collection organised old school from before immich on various back-up media and the hardest part to me now is deciding to keep that or convert it all to the "immich style" directory... Since it's now very difficult to add new pictures to it without loads and loads of duplicates.

    I did find the setting in immich which will somewhat still organise it in folders per month now, but it's not the same, since a month often isn't a logical grouping directory, for example if you go on holiday last week of December+ first week of January: pictures will still be spread across various folders.

    My main downside on immich currently is that we can't easily "share" metadata over a few different users (locations added later, recognised faces etc) although we share many faces/locations in pictures... It's a hard choice wether I still want to make the few users all use the same account after all because of that (which will have other downsides like no personal private folder)

  • Yes filebrowser is ending it's a shame, very simple tool. Copyparty works fine too but too many features I don't need.

    I don't have a better suggestion for mobile backup. I only have pictures (immich) backed up automatically. Everything else on my phone would be lost or it already sits somewhere else from the beginning (like music)

  • Look at dietpi. There is a regular pc version (x86).

    Their own "we do it for you" software choice is somewhat limited, but everything is really easy imo. You can always install other things they don't offer, with apt or docker or ... But the basic dietpi system is a super reliable, super lightweight, easy to manage OS.

    For the music: dietpi+jellyfin+ tailscale+finamp on phone. Tailscale on phone, point it to only use VPN for finamp. It works incredibly stable and reliable for me. I tried many other "make it work remotely" options first, tailscale is just magic. If it's only for streaming music to your phone, I don't consider tailscale a privacy issue at all.

  • I suggest to skip the nextcloud. It's a mess. Use immich for pictures and paperless for documents.

    If hosting some other files that don't fit those 2 categories, things like filebrowser or copyparty are great. Nextcloud is really quite the challenge tbh and imo not worth the hassle it is for a typical selfhoster... It's hard to get the most out of it. It pays of for medium organisations maybe but not for just you and a few other people...

  • New EU law requires devices to be repairable - Every phone, television or washing machine you buy in Europe must be easier to repair starting tomorrow. That’s when the European Right to Repair Act tak

  • They didn't have to keep it proprietary, and I think in many "computer problems" the certified dealers will just replace 1 circuitboard by a new one, but it's a part which private customers are not able to order and replace themselves

  • They didn't do it for that purpose, I am saying they used the opportunity of cars becoming more digital to make them less repairable outside of "certified dealers"

  • I have a super common type (in EU) of Philips water kettle. It's a reliable machine. Unfortunately the little filter "screen" for the pouring sprout is starting to break now, after many many years of use. I can't find a replacement. It's a super easy to manufacture part, must be a very common "breaking thing" on this widespread device... Nope.

    Philips HD4646 if anyone knows a source 🙈

  • Car manufacturers screwed over consumers the last 10-15 years big time! Cars used to be the big thing many could fix a lot on by themselves and were proud to do so. Then they basically just said incrementally to the DIY'ers "it's all computers now, not your cup of tea", purposely made cars less and less self repairable and got away with it! It's infuriating.

  • Poop decomposes and becomes greenhouse gas. Fancy new filtration plants capture some of that gas and produce electricity with it. Most is not captured.

    Fertilizer mainly helps 1year crops grow, aka food. Not forests that will bind carbon for hundreds or thousands of years. The typical large scale agricultural industrial operations cause more release of carbon than they bind it.

    A very large part of the produced fertilizer is used to, often on land where there used to be carbon binding forests, grow soy, corn etc to feed enormous amounts of livestock. Which we then eat. It is a manyfold less efficient way for humans to consume animal protein rather than plant proteins. Producing and using lots of artificial fertilizer is for sure not a positive effect on global climate change.

  • it's still putting energy into pumping it up. And what happens with the fertilizer, or plastic, or whachamacallit? It gets consumed.

    The fertilizer best case becomes plant, gets eaten, pooped out yada yada eventually it becomes the greenhouse gasses. Worst case it's spilled into the environment as overfertilizing runoff, where it offsets soil balance which helps to release... greenhouse gasses.

    The plastic: after use: what happens with it? It gets burned best case, which will release greenhouse gasses. Or it end up in the ocean, not greenhouse i guess, but also not that fun.

    When we extract fossil carbon from deep down to the surface, there is a very high chance it will become greenhouse gas. Some of it becomes greenhouse gas almost immediately, some of it only after a few decades, but it's still offsetting the balance of the globe and adding to climate change.

    Fossil fuels are not evil by themselves (how can anything without consciousness be evil?), but many other uses than burning it to go vroom vroom also pose problems to global environmental systems, many uses will also end into processes that will also have negative influence on greenhouse gas situation. Plastic is a miracle material with many very good uses, but the way it is still mostly used now (use once, throw out, burn) is still adding greenhouse gasses.

  • most people at this point chosing fuel over electric, the main motivation is best case "habit" or worst case political statement, it has very little to do with money or the technical limitations of the vehicles anymore. They just don't like change, they're scared of it. They have driven a fuel car all their lives and they will continue their habits as long as they are allowed to. The range on EV's is crazy now. For christ's sake, an electric bicycle has a reach of 100km! How far out away from what they need do the average 90% of people live... less than a few kilometers.

    It's really not that hard to put a price on societal collapse and the end of humanity: the money it costs to try to mitigate that is infinite and every decision every person makes right now should be made in that light of exponentially higher costs later if bad choices which now seem slightly less expensive are made now...

  • If Europe has started experiencing over 40°C heatwaves frequently, then this planet really is fucked

    Jump

  • Neither were the heatwaves supposed to be so severe here right now already. Climate predictions were low side estimates, it's happening faster and consequences of major tipping point influences (ice free arctic) are extremely hard to predict.
