  • What projects does the opensource world lack

  • I only just discovered this problem a few days ago, so I don't really know yet. We definitely need to be able to track a number of details about the animals including source, outcome, medical records, etc. I think having a way to keep track of "employees" (we're 100% volunteer run), "customers" (finders and adopters), and finances is also pretty important, and hopefully in a way that doesn't require a lot of duplicate entries due to multiple fragmented systems.

    There's quite a few (mostly proprietary) systems out there specifically designed for shelters, so I suspect something like that might be the best option for the current issue, but looking at Odoo might be relevant to my professional development in general, as I was recently laid off, and hoping to pivot a bit from the general administrative work I had previously been doing.

  • Thanks! Looks interesting. Might be a bit awkward to fit the data types, but I'm definitely curious to play with it and see how it compares to the other ERPs I've experienced, which were also clunky, even with more typical business data.

  • Thank you! This particular issue is something that I only started to become aware of a few days ago, so I'm still trying to learn more before pushing for any big changes. I don't know that self hosting is even the right solution for our group, so I'm glad to see that they also offer a hosted option, although the self hosted option seems like a great way for me to test it out.

  • I have no clue yet if an open source solution exists, but I'm just getting started volunteering with a local animal rescue, and they definitely need a better solution for records management.

  • Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system.

    Jump

  • Hard disagree. If you ask people to make a temporary change that still feels achievable, they're more likely to at least give it a shot, and many of those people will spend some time considering alternatives. Once the week is up, some people may even choose to continue boycotting Amazon, or at least reduce their spending there.

  • Looks like this is a list of manufacturers that allow bootloader unlocking. If you want to install a custom ROM, you first need to unlock the bootloader. Note that carrier branded devices of these brands may still have a locked bootloader. The example I'm most familiar with is the Verizon version of Pixels.. I always by the carrier unlocked version of the Pixel to ensure an unlocked bootloader.

    Jellyfin is not just good... but better than Plex now?!

    Jump

  • I randomly tried using Jellyfin today instead of Plex, but Jellyfin kept crashing my browser and logging me out, so I wasn't in the mood to troubleshoot, so I just gave up and went back to Plex.

    In the past, I've been annoyed that Jellyfin didn't seem to have an option to sort media by "Last Episode Date Added", nor did it seem to have a way to build a queue of episodes from multiple different shows. I think I was also having trouble figuring out how to add multiple sources... I have my "long term" library on a local hard drive, plus anything "new" on a seedbox.

    I theoretically want to fully switch over eventually, but so far, Plex is still good enough for my use case.

  • That's so weird. I've been using Plex for years and had never heard of "Passout Protection" until looking it up just now, nor does it ever stop playback on its own for me unless it reaches the end of the queue. I'm using the free version via web browser on my computer. Maybe it's a setting that only affects apps? Continuous playback on Plex is one of the reasons why I've always preferred it over Netflix, etc.

  • Thanks to divorce & remarriage, I used to have 8 living people that I considered grandparents, plus a few more that I guess could've also been considered grandparents, but they were estranged and I never met them. If everyone is divorced and remarried, I think you could claim up to 16 grandparents!

  • <3 I love to complain about how my cats choose the "worst" spots on my bed to sleep, and then I can't roll around as well, but I hate it even more when they sleep in the living room instead.

  • When is it a good idea to get a second cat?

    Jump

  • A few years ago, I found myself wondering if my cat wanted a buddy, so I signed up with the local shelter to foster, figuring if it didn't work out, I'd have an easy "out" to find the new cat another home. I actually wound up fostering a few litters of kittens before adopting a second cat, and have also continued fostering.

    If you decide to adopt or foster, be prepared for the first few weeks to be challenging. Read up on Jackson Galaxy's guide to cat introductions, and move slowly from step to step. The guide is in 5 parts, here's part 1: https://www.jacksongalaxy.com/blogs/news/cat-introductions-part-1-before-the-introduction

    Some cats accept new cats within days, others may take weeks or longer. My oldest is always super pissed off for the first few days, but we usually reach "Eat, Play, Love" around 2 weeks.

  • If I'm reading this correctly, the reported cases occured in May of 2024? So, 8-9 months ago? I understand testing, etc., does take some time, but it feels unreasonably long for this information to become public. Are my expectations out of line?

  • Are Dating Apps Getting Worse?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I used to want to text a lot before meeting face to face, but have learned that almost always means I start to "fill in the blanks" and the person I meet never matches up with my expectations. By meeting face to face quickly, I don't have a chance to build those expectations and am unlikely to feel "catfished" by anything other than blantant lies on their profile.

    I think the bigger problem is that the apps really amplify the sense of "there's always more fish in the sea." So if that first date wasn't full of sparks, people often prefer to see what other options are out there, rather than going on second dates to see if anything develops.

    With the online approach, I know I'm very guilty of focusing on the other person's "flaws", and deciding they're deal breakers. With people I meet via offline methods, we generally get to know each other a bit more organically and end up having multiple unofficial "dates" before the first official date.

    My last actual date was over a year ago, with someone I met offline through mutual friends. There was definitely an initial spark, but it fizzled almost as quickly (mostly my own discomfort with emotional intimacy). We're actually still friends though, and hang out with each other more often than I hang out with the friend who introduced us. If we had met via dating apps, I highly doubt we would still be friends because we just wouldn't have any reason to cross paths organically.

  • Per your original comment:

    There hasn't been an ad for alcohol on US TV for decades

    Beer is alcohol. Beer is still advertised on US TV. Everything you've said just comes across as a bad faith attempt to redirect the argument.

  • Ahh, yes, fediverse is fun. I accidentally hit the submit button when I was nowhere near done, so I quickly deleted the original comment while I continued working on my draft. Once I was done composing my thoughts, I tried editing the deleted comment, but even after refreshing it still shows as deleted for me, so I submitted my final draft as a new comment instead.
