Maybe they were inspired by Boeing to skip the QA checkups on some of those systems 😉

If you don’t have a source then you’re about as scientific as a TN politician (apparently)

I’ll try to keep this to lesser known apps:

• Catima (saves barcodes for gift cards, gym memberships, etc so you don’t have to worry about the physical card)

• Cofi (nice timer for active guidance through coffee brewing recipes)

• 10,000 Sentences (a language practicing app that doesn’t have a mildly threatening owl 😉)

• OSMAnd+ Mapillary, Overlay Maps, and 3D Features (seriously, the best. I only use Google maps to get around traffic these days since, unfortunately, Magic Earth doesn’t work very well in my area)

• Obtanium (as a gateway to lesser known software, no shipping to an app store required!)

• RethinkDNS (an absolutely amazing piece of software that gives you fine-grained control of the domains your apps are talking to. A bit of a battery sync but it’s been a game changer for me. On my GrapheneOS setup I use it in the Google sandbox to reduce the amount of data scraping servers my Google apps can talk to)

This is a bit of a Pokemon starter question. Just pick one and see where it takes you! They do roughly the same job, especially now that docker has a rootless mode. At the end of the day you’re learning a new technology and that’s a positive thing.

Is mayonnaise an instrument?

The same light but in it’s particle era

Genuine question – how does it “use” that water? Isn’t it primarily utilized for plain old water cooling, where in mind it just evaporates at worst?

What are we going to do, build high speed rail!? A technology so advanced that China alone has enough track in active operation to traverse the US over 13 times as of three years ago? I dunno, seems like a gamble

My process for project identification has been:

1. Be annoyed at ads/payment structure/whatever in some app or service
2. Search https://alternativeto.net/ for alternatives to the thing I’m annoyed with (filtering by Open Source and my devices)
3. Try out 1-2 of the top alternatives
4. Settle on what service I want to run
5. Install, route the subdomain, etc. if necessary (otherwise just access via my tailnet)

As for how to deploy, docker / podman are great! With podman I’d recommend looking into their systemd integrations too. Incus is a neat LXC option too, meant more for longer term services (less micro service focused, good and bad).

Hope this helps!

Oh man that’s good stuff

I’m sure the teacher of the high school debate team you’re on would be very proud ❤️

ooh getting aggressive now are we?

I owe nothing to you. Enjoy your time being a sad person trying to bring others down on the internet :) I hope this little outlet makes you feel better

No doubt, you make some great points.

I agree that finding steel frames with magically unscratchable lenses probably aren’t realistic :) I also agree that treating a pair well is the best bet at making them last. The pair that I just broke was my first time splurging on a nice pair of sunglasses and being intentional about treating them well. They lasted me for over two years and I was very happy with them!

The more I see promises like Waterhaul though, I wonder if their Osprey-style guarantee would be nice to have. They have a lifetime guarantee on replacing their frames (probably banking on most people losing theirs rather than breaking them) on top of using recycled materials. Obviously this would not include replacing lenses. Seems like it’s at least half way to being a good route?

Thanks for weighing in! I loved my Ray-Bans until they snapped in half at the nose in my travel bag. Might still try to glue them back together, but tbd.

Thanks for the tip! I don’t have a membership but I’ll definitely consider it.

Sure, buy an inverter and burn up 10% of your energy in the conversion if you’re lucky. That inverter will cost roughly as much as the contents of a standard fridge + freezer, by the way :)

At that point just buy a well insulated cooler and always have some ice on hand. It’ll last much longer.
