I share this pipe dream. Increased awareness of and access to self-hosted services encourages decentralization, reduces our reliance on massive data centers, and empowers the public to own their data. For the hobbyist, I think this is already in reach.

However, in order for such a system to succeed in the wider market, it needs to also be cheap and convenient. Even a Raspberry Pi goes for around $80 these days, and storage is becoming more expensive by the day thanks to AI companies. iCloud storage is only 99 cents a month. If, for example, ISPs were to bundle this software and storage with their modem hardware, it could happen. Hell, they could even charge a small fee to provide you with a publicly accesible domain.

I’d argue this is nothing new. I recall coming across some truly horrendous stuff on LiveLeak, Reddit, and even YouTube when I was a child. Most of the time, I was not looking for it. The Internet is no place for the developing mind…

Anyone who read the thread will see that the OP pretty much dropped it after Nirav’s response. Framework is a tiny company without a PR machine for these occasions, and I doubt they knowingly sponsored a project based on the developers’ political ideologies. Let’s all take some deep breaths.

Very cool. Reminds me of the Madness markdown server.

According to W3Techs, Cloudflare is used for 80.9% of all known reverse proxy endpoints which account for 19.8% of the entire Internet. It’s safe to say it’s used to host both legal and illegal content with that broad of a scope.

They are an American company and must cooperate with law enforcement when abuse is reported. If you’re planning on hosting pirated content, that most definitely violates their terms of service and will get you in trouble.

The Music app (also called Apple Music, formerly iTunes) is a library manager at its core. You don’t need an Apple Music subscription to use it. It runs on macOS and Windows.

If you’re an Apple household, Apple Music (iTunes) is still great. I don’t pay for streaming services; I buy music on iTunes/Bandcamp and rip CDs.

Apple Music has a fantastic interface for managing metadata, creating playlists, and performing complex batch jobs with AppleScript. I sync my iPhone and iPod Nano every time I add a new album, and I host my media folder on NextCloud for listening on other devices.

Thanks! What kinds of things do you intend to do with your lab? I felt that the Pi was suitable for most everything except media pipelines.

Love the evolution! How are you measuring the power consumption of your devices? I’d be interested in profiling my build as well.

I had the first and second generation AirPods Pros, and both unfortunately had this issue. I’ve read reports from others online that it also occurs on Beats earbuds. Something to do with the ANC hardware.

At any rate, I think the Sony buds are just as good in terms of sound quality and ANC. Their version of “Transparency Mode” isn’t quite as nice, but that’s not a dealbreaker for me.

I just bought a pair of Sony WF-100XM5 earbuds because every pair of AirPods I’ve owned since 2019 has experienced the dreaded rumbling. I wonder if they fixed it with this version…

Honestly, I don’t think Snaps are so bad. Canonical’s top market is enterprise, and Snaps are ideal for deploying applications in these environments. If you’re an end-user, you can literally just uninstall the runtime

If you’re fortunate enough to live near a well-funded library, you can peruse their new arrivals section for CDs. That’s how I discover new artists

I’m hoping this takes off!

This is late-stage capitalism bursting at the seams. Of course the USA should not have any grounds to bully another institution (state or corporate) into bending to its current political whims. And at the same time, a corporation should never have been given so much leverage—the ability to entirely bypass requirements—in the first place. I know there’s more nuance to it than that, but goddamn…

Not sure about their business model, but I love Glow. It’s great for browsing folders of Markdown files.

Do you plan to offer a browser extension for those who would enjoy the Fediverse integration but don’t want to run a custom fork?

I also experienced screen tearing on every Pebble unit I owned. If they fix this, I’ll absolutely buy a new one

But what does that have to do with consumer privacy?

I’m not sure why being a “privacy vendor” forbids you from using AI tools in your development process
