Tangential:
I‘m running my own IT company since recently and am transitioning to exclusively using FOSS. I still have some things I need to work around like my iOS phone. It already has a linux successor but its not finished yet. Pretty promising though. My plan is to put a fixed percentage of profits to open source projects.
Hi folks, I‘m currently using the pinetime which a friend has given to me for testing.
So far I‘m very happy. Of course, the typical foss situation applies where you have to accept that freedom comes with responsibility. In this case it is early stage functionality in some cases like the heart rate monitor which is kinda spotty.
Cool features imo:
- different watch faces
- lights up when you raise your arm
- hrm works mostly
- 2048 game is fun
- step counter seems accurate to me
But I already made a list of things I could possibly add to the firmware if I decide to buy one - likely the dev edition.
All in all, I‘m very impressed of the capabilities of a small company and its open source product.
Pretty solid advice.
One could argue though that a backup script could pull the particular container image right after doing the backup to have maximum coverage.
If someone is already that adept at scripting to rely on a script to do automatic backups, they can very well pull the new images and clean old ones.
I‘m one of those who have a backup script and still use watchtower.

Bitwarden is the way to go.
Oh wow! Thats gnarly. On that note, have you looked at rustdesk? Tried it this week and it runs great. Its also open source.
I can see that. When will you start?
tangential: I‘m using a oneplus 6 with postmarketOS but depending on your friend‘s it skills, it might not be ready for him yet.
So far its very usable but I suggest someone must want to swim against the current and do things differently. One could say a „pioneer“ type would be ideal for this.
„Simple“
I agree that being active is important and good for you but depending on the circumstances its everything but simple.
I aspire to move a lot but the day being this active becomes easy will he the day. :)
Technically correct. :)
Kind of how foss in general works as well. If you contribute anything, you‘re technically making the app.
The phone is an oneplus6 with postmarketOS. VoxeLibre runs on minetest 5.9.0 dev, compiled from source. I played for about 30 minutes and it cost about 20% battery. It runs butter smooth and has no input lag at all. Must be one of the best mobile gaming experiences I ever had. A little optimization would be great down the line but i was surprised how good this is!
I am amazed at how evil a company can be. Well, if pirating any company‘s content was ever morally justified, its nintendo‘s.
Fair enough! Thank you for the heads up. I will try and continue in that direction.
The runners are very exciting but I still need to understand how use them.
My first instinct was „meh“ but this reads like a great guide for non tech users to grasp the fedi.
Hi folks! I'm currently trying to learn a good workflow to fork a (say) github project and work on it on my forgejo. I have made forks and PRs in the past but I fail to see how to do it in this case, at least efficiently.
I could of course fork on github and mirror the repo on my forge. That would include me putting my work on github instead of only making a PR on github. I would prefer forking directly to my forge and sending only the PR on github. On the other hand, if I delete my fork afterward, it was pretty irrelevant to begin with.
How would you approach this?
The „maya“ convo strongly reminded me of green hell.
Otherwise it looks cool. The synced wolves need some work I guess. I wishlisted it. Good luck!
Btw. What engine?
Yeah, awesome if threads make it easy to go from free to corporate without a hussle /s
The reasons are plenty, they are laid out here:
I‘m not a fan of reinventing the wheel so feel free to ask questions if you like.
The „you have to like people“ part took me nearly 20 years to figure out. I hate people in general with possible remedy for people who are nice. I‘m exceptional at managing people, I just dont vibe with them. This leads to absurd situations where everyone is happy, professionally but folks just hate my guts.
So, I now work alone and am happy with it. :)
Exactly my point. I tried installing it and it was great fun but under no circumstances is that "beginner ready".
I'm experiencing some odd behavior. Lemmy communities on my server seem to have stalled (no new posts and or comments) since 2 days.
I went ahead and upgraded lemmy to 0.19.5 and postgres to the current version but to no avail so far.
.ml got banned by fail2ban but I set it on the ignore list now. any ideas where to start looking for the problems? I checked for the other big communities and they're okay it seems.
I can of course start adding logs in here but I would love to know which service or log I should start with.
Thanks for reading. Have a good one.
Edit: outgoing federation works. this post made it to ml in seconds.

I just found this community through the old one on world. good idea to move away to avoid further centralization.
Minetest/Voxelibre appreciation I'm running a whitelisted minetest server for a couple friends. it is publicly listed and peeps can ask to join if they're so inclined. I really enjoy this game although or because I own minecraft and feel like hobby devs like me should spend their time on foss projects, not microsoft.
Weird behavior Currently, I'm experiencing some interesting behavior: I'm in a jungle and due to thunderstorms, the trees caught fire. the simulation distance I suppose, the fire does not get put out by rain and slowly burns down all the things around me. Although it is raining every day.
I tested this by going near the fire while it was raining and it gets put out.
I think fire should either have finite lifespan if not placed on netherrack or at least lightning should only hit in the same distance as the simulation distance is at.
Currently trying to judge if anyone else has this problem and considering if I should look for an issue/create one.
Have a good one! :)

This community does have quite a couple of subscribers but so far we have no favicon/logo. What do you think we should use?
Jeff? Bill? Elon? Some cursed „cousin“?
The most popular idea will be considered. Still needs to be legally doable and somewhat represent the community of course.
Happy hunting!
