  • But will they continue to moderate content by German leftist standards?

  • Or a better SD card. I've used my various Raspberrys with SD cards for years without any issues. The only single incident I've had was a card turning read-only. Which I've only noticed because system updates were gone after a reboot. But all the main data was still there and accessible. And a simple clone to a new card followed by fsck restored full functionality in the Pi again.

  • But what do you do with your Passkey in your password manager if you have to login on another device (you don't own)?

  • I’m running a local SearXNG which still provides usable results. I don’t see the point in paying for what’s basically a smart phone book. If everything fails, I’m going full #oldweb and use #webrings or some of those retro lists.

  • Even better: YouTube still provides RSS feeds. You can "subscribe" to your favourite channels by adding them to your RSS reader.

    And for desktop, there's also FreeTube.

  • They'll probably make "Maps+" soon after.

  • Ah, gut zu wissen! Danke! :)

  • The important bit is -v /opt/podman/searxng/config:/etc/searxng:Z in the podman call. This will mount your local directory (i.e. on the host the container is running on) /opt/podman/searxng/config into the container as /etc/searxng (which is where SearXNG is searching for its config). Make sure that the local directory exists and is writeable by your user account before starting the container. This way your config will persist even when the container gets replaced by an updated version.

    IIRC, after running the container for the first time, SearXNG should put a settings.yml and uwsgi.ini there. You can edit them and restart the container for the changes to take.

    On later container updates, SearXNG will put the latest versions of the default configs as settings.yml.new and uwsgi.ini.new. This way it doesn't overwrite your config and allows you to manually merge the new defaults into your running config. (If you only see the *.new files after starting the container for the first time, rename them and remove the .new part.)

  • News Explorer on macOS, iOS and ipadOS. Syncs everything, so whatever device you pick up, you can continue reading where you left off. Also supports following people on Mastodon and YouTube channels via RSS.

  • Can Dockge manage/cleanup unused images and containers by now? That’s the only reason I keep using Portainer - because it can show all the other stuff and lets me free up space.

  • As Plume isn’t maintained anymore, there are also a few ActivityPub plugins for WordPress which work very well.

  • Because

    A) Solving Captchas isn’t protecting from abuse/spam anymore. People in countries with cheap labour costs are being paid (or forced) to solve these for spam networks. And nowadays, LLMs can solve them almost better than any human. Manual approval is completely infeasible once you have a somewhat larger following.

    Tying comments to some form of account is at least somewhat of a hurdle for spammers.

    and

    B) Some people want to keep ownership of their data. As long as the comment is tied to my account, I can easily find, edit or even delete it. Try that with some comment you made on some obscure blog 5 years ago; which address you don’t remember and with an email address you no longer have.

  • Yes, webtrees should fit that description.

  • As someone who always had some kind of PDA (CASIO digital diary, Palm, Compaq iPaq) and switched onto the smartphone bandwagon pretty early (SonyEricsson P800/P910i, Qtek 9000, various Androids and various iPhones) ... I don't think I could enjoy the experience with a dumb phone. I love modern technology too much.

    I once had a colleague that religiously only used a Nokia 3210 (the newer 3G/4G model). Which meant 160 character messages only. No emojis, no photos (as MMS were expensive). He was also the kind of person to use paper maps when driving - incl. stopping to look for alternative routes if some road was blocked or jammed. That's definitely not for me.

    The only way this could work for me would be to have some small PDA that can connect to the phone to use the Internet. And I appreciate that both devices have been merged into smartphones at some point.

  • There were ads! But these were simple banner graphics of 468x60 pixels. In the worst case it was an animated GIF. But hosted on the same server as the page and without any tracking shenanigans.

  • Yep, back in the days the early bird price was $169 and MSRP was supposed to be $199. And now we're looking at $225 pre-order price.
