There's Bitcoin and lightning network :)

If it was less expensive and provided some privacy i would probably happily pay for it.

This app is amazing! I loved the infinity design, that's so fucking amazing you took the time to bring it on Lemmy, i never really liked Jeroba!

I simply backup the /home folder, where the important files are with duplicity on my home server with ftp once a week, keeping records of the last 6 months. But as that only restores the home folder i also take a snapshot (which takes way more disk space) every month with timeshift too, which stays on the pc. Would be great if i could take complete snapshots via ftp just like with duplicity, but timeshift doesn't do that.

I'm actually curious on Rust, i don't like how dispersive can be JavaScript, i prefer to build smaller, maybe uglier things, but that work and are nicely stable, scalable and can be integrated on multiple different platforms. Also i love that almost everything runs on Cargo and i don't have to choose between 100 things that essentially cover the same target. I also think the Discord idea is quite good, i just want to find someone who is on my same level to grow / build cool things toghether, or small projects on which i can actively partecipate, there's also an association near me that promotes opensource projects and give free code lessons, i might give it a try as well and see if i meet someone there. I'm gonna give it another try before deciding of giving up, i think it is deserved.

And how you deal with that, how do you choose what to do and what not to do?

Honestly when i first got into coding i liked the fact it could give me jobs i could do from every part of the world, that is still on demand and that gave a certain freedom on how you approach technology and customize it to make it your own, i always liked to tinker around with computer and i even have a small home server i use for several stuff. I loved how useful internet was to find informations otherwise unreachable and share stuff without censorship woth everyone, as i said i love the story of the cypherpunk movement, i see bitcoin as a real solution to our obsolete economy, and i thought i would have liked to have a role into changing this shitty system paradigms, my target was to work with lightining network or similar protocols maybe one day. However i feel like i'm changing lately and i'm lacking human interactions so much, there's no point in building something toghether if there's no emotions to share with others before, during and after the process. Maybe it's just how i'm made, but i cannot stick to it, i just get super depressed and i see no point in doing it. Maybe i'm just lazy i don't know, but it is like that.

Adding the fact that sometimes i feel like technology controls me, and not the opposite despite all the efforts i make, feels just super wrong and not how i want to live.

I'm studying webdevelopment so i've had the opportunity to work only on simple stuff so far, but it already feels super overwhelming, sometimes i get lost just in setting up my coding environment, just to realize it will only be one of many i'll need to learn how to work with.

The RSS feature is amazing, i wanted to do something like that with RSS Bridge, but it looks like both Instagram and Facebook are doing their best to block exactly these kind of things, so it works half of the times and it needs to be fixed quite often, i think now it doesn't work very well either... Also it is very complicated to be set up if you don't know a bit of PHP. Of course i'm willing to learn but all this blocking that projects like this (see Barinsta or Bibliogram) get is really discouraging. I think Meta content is probably one of the worst to scrape.

Regarding Proxygram: for now it works, i'm using a public istance to grab some RSS feeds, if it proves to be reliable i will be happy to host my own istance as well, if possible :) It's sometimes slow to grab data (i guess because sessions get easily blocked/limited, getting error 500) but not really a problem as i just want to see new events every couple of days, one issue tho is that the RSS doesn't show all the posts (only showing the last three of them), which can be annoying as you may lose something if you don't see it and save it.

EDIT: It actually does get other posts as well, just reaaally slowly, meaning that if you follow really large accounts in a week or so you can find your feed full of older posts marked as unread.

Anyway thanks to whoever is making the hard job of building/owning an instagram scraper, I really know it can be tough.

Exactly lmao

I love Lemmy because you can see that people actually understand that foss platforms don't keep themselves up magically but there's actually people involved that work hard for making internet a better place without any economical incentive, but just their ideal.

Not necessarily, of course open source is better, but i really just want something that gives me power over the content i can see, this is usually what happens in open source, that's why i posted here, but im open to closedsource solutions. I didn't know of the existence of modded stuff like this. How can they mod a closed source app? Are they partner with instagram? How does it work? Do they just scrape content like anyone else? How are they not getting banned like other scraper apps?

Debian with GNOME

Most definetely, i would strongly suggest the Supernote, if you want there are also android options like Onyx, but those are more similar to full tablets than just to a study tablet / productivity device

Check out e-ink tablet like the Supernote A5! They are marvelous and study/work only focused!

Okay then, i think i'm buying a new guitar

This is actually something i wanna get more informed on, for example i see that e/os is still supporting the first google pixel (from 2016), it's already 7 years of updates. However i think that applies just to the OS update, not the security patches, am i right?

If you search it online you can find that people have some issues with computer running amd ryzen processor and the adb and fastboot commands, i don't know if it's the case, but i couldn't find any other reasons on why a TWRP nandroid backup that was completely fine when i took it and didn't prompt any error couldn't be restored.

It's not a disk image, it is a particular type of compression that packs up different parts of the system (system, data, vendor etc..).

I also tried to enter the backup by using a tool that converts .ab backup in .tar, but i didn't manage to do it.

Anyway i don't really care if i lost that particular backup, i just want to avoid it to happen again

This is very interesting, makes me wanna share my experience too, in my case between 2 different custom ROMs, but with the same phone:

• Lineage OS for microG but without device registration, cloud messaging and safety net disabled
• /e/OS which is essentially lineage os for microg + tracker blocker but with all the device registration, cloud messaging and safety net enabled

Both are rooted with magisk.

e OS would consume MUCH more battery compared to my previous installation of Lineage, so i was wondering if those microG settings can actually change this much, or if pheraps it is the tracker blocker or something else.. Another difference is that e/os has a more recent Android version than the version of LOS for microg i was using.

Was your Calyx install clean or it had Gapps or microg or something similar?

Just send them the new report on Nissan of the Mozilla foundation 😂
