  • Work/commuting backpack, ideally not a US company

    Jump

  • Ortlieb is expensive as hell but extremely thick, waterproof (resistant?) fabric. I have just a bike bag Urban Roller Plus I think. It is a nice fabric texture instead of smooth dry-packish and it has a nice insert to organize everything and protect my laptop.

    My girlfriend has the Various which you can flip the cover over to switch between backpack and bike bag and it is awesome, but more expensive.

    Fjallraven is also good, but the strap padding wears out rather quickly. Every teenage girl in Belgium had a Fjallraven pack back when they were in style and every one has the strap pads completely flattened and useless lol.

    Dutch company Newlooxs has a couple bike and backpack switchers. The material is thin though and mine ripped open on a fall during my commute.

  • Here Are Your Choices for a Self-hosted eBook Server

  • I find it very confusing to get a good workflow with it + calibre.

    I sync all of my books (and use readarr for organization or occasionally grabbing books from dead authors) via syncthing. Then calibre web won't ingest any new books I copy to the folder, so I have to go to desktop calibre to add them manually, then it will sync the database and calibre-web has a built-in task for scanning any database changes so then the book will show up.

    Seems like a clunky method and I would think I am doing it wrong, but I haven't found a way for calibre to scan books already organized in folders in its book directory.

  • Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 day

  • My girlfriend and I both need new phones from her failing and buggy Samsung A52 and my Xperia 5ii. We are not going Samsung anymore because they are putting unremovable Israeli spyware baked into their devices, fairphone 6 still seems very buggy and we had a friend with a fairphone 4 with 99 problems with it, and I don't want to give google money and we want SD card slots instead of almost no memory to force cloud subscriptions.

    2027 is starting to be a big ask though.

  • What's your laziest or most ridiculous automation?

    Jump

  • How did you measure the water going through? Did you hook up an in-line flow meter to the dishwasher? I would be interested to know if my Bosch dishwasher is the same way because I always use Eco.

  • Open-source game engine Godot is drowning in 'AI slop' code contributions: 'I don't know how long we can keep it up'

    Jump

  • I would think that they will have to combat AI code with an AI code recognizer tool that auto-flags a PR or issue as AI, then they can simply run through and auto-close them. If the contributor doesn't come back and explain the code and show test results to show it working, then it is auto-closed after a week or so if nobody responds.

  • As Dem Voters Seek a 'Fight' With the Superrich, AOC is Now Their Favorite Candidate: Poll | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • Since Nuremberg had less than 0,02% conviction rate and was essentially a show trial kangaroo court and they promoted, supported, and hired the Nazis to government positions afterwards, I am hoping a very un-nuremberg like trial happens.

    Nuremberg proved that being a Nazi war criminal was the safest and lowest convicted crime in history.

  • AsteroidOS 2.0 Released

    Jump

  • Maybe not a good example because all TVs and Smart fridges run MCUs (or SBUs) that are 10x-20x more powerful than what is in any smart watch besides the apple watch (where the watch is mostly one gigantic custom IC).

    They usually run NXP I.MX Arm M7 processors at the bare bare bare minimum, much more common is an ARM A7 or higher which is a completely different world than the tiny nrf52840 with 192KB of RAM and 1MB of flash that is standard across lower-end smart watches (and doesn't go upuch with higher end) That is why I was confused. But I guess people get down voted to hell for asking a question lol

  • AsteroidOS 2.0 Released

    Jump

  • I would think Linux would be way too heavy for these watches. A lot of them use pretty lean MCUs, a far cry from the beefy Qualcomm phone chips that Post market runs on.

    Even running zephyr on the NRF52840 can get heavy with adding a bunch of apps to it.

  • AsteroidOS 2.0 Released

    Jump

  • Nah, it is pretty much if you didn't buy one of 2 trendy models of the year, then nothing else has ever or will ever be supported (of course you can always write your own drivers but it is a ton of work, especially for non-coders)

    I have a thought that a lot of the enthusiasts that go through the pain and effoet of writing all of these drivers for old phones they have were usually the kind of people to buy the best/most popular device of the year

  • Fluxer: Swedish Discord alternative, can be selfhosted, AGPL-3.0 license

    Jump

  • Oh, I was just going through the github, my fault for not being thorough.

    Seems like he is using it well and not just having it code the project for him. If this can beat matrix in voice channels + screen sharing/video sharing then that would be awesome.

    My group of friends uses discord since I am very far away from them and we need the screen sharing and webcam video feed for D&D.

  • European Alternatives for Music Streaming

    Jump

  • Thanks. Eternity hasn't been updated in 8 months, so maybe it is a bit buggy. I will go delete the extras.

  • European Alternatives for Music Streaming

    Jump

  • True, but they have tons and tons of american investors and partners. They are firmly in that grip and also a shit company partnering with military surveillance tech as well as trying to stop paying their artists by stealing their work and making AI slop with it.

    Nestle is also European and yet one of the worst companies in the world.

    Just because a company is European, doesn't mean they aren't a horrible company that nobody should support or buy a single thing from.

  • This was literally started on January 1st this year on github.

    This has to be mostly vibe-coded right? Or is it just a UI right now and not functional.

  • Can trillium store all files in markdown/plaintext?

    How is the theming by trillium? I use a light tan interface because it is much easier on my eyes, personally than high contrast white or eye-straining dark themes.

  • Google is now rolling out Android 17 Beta 1 for Pixel

    Jump

  • Times have changed. I used to be excited 10 years ago when new android versions came out with cool new features, often better performance, and a lot of gimmicks that sometimes were useful.

    Now it is: "Oh I wonder what feature they are taking away this time, what freedom they are stepping on now, what they have enshittified now, and how they are adding additional surveillance to sell to Palantir..."

    And what they advertise is literally "Location Indicator is slightly darker". "Settings menu had very slight spacing change" and "brightness icon is mirrored"

    Somebody is getting a promotion for those extremely minor changes

  • New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles

    Jump

  • This is theoretically something sodium batteries would be good at right?

    Aren't they not as sensitive to storage voltages? They are almost a perfect lead-acid replacement. Plus a UPS is a great usecase because it doesn't matter if it is 33% bigger to achieve the same capacity.
