Possible alternative for Whatsapp is to run matrix and a WhatsApp bridge, then all of your messages will be stored in the WhatsApp bridge, and you can access them via a matrix client. Pretty long winded though. As for Android auto, I can't afford a fancy new car with a screen in it so I just mount my phone on the dashboard and use it like that with no Android auto.
Strikes me that there should be some kind of provisioning tool similar to Ansible for Android devices, what does industry do when they need to automate provisioning of thousands of devices for POS, retail, barcode scanning, delivery drivers, etc.
Several of the ones listed on awesome-typst are similar, notably:
Not to knock the work you have done though
I was using a template like this several months ago, (in typst) I think someone had already ported awesomecv beforehand.
So e-commerce site? Or is it digital delivery only? Also I'm getting filtered by the captcha, how do you solve it?
Sellafield is leaking nuclear sludge due to decades of neglect and apathy; an entirely British problem
There is a neovim plugin with a Firefox companion extension that basically puts your neovim inside the textbox on the webpage. It's pretty crazy, and works with most text input fields.
The current Chinese state did not exist before WW2, so I think that comparison is a bit odd
Lemmy is developed by commies, they won't kick you off for organizing. But it is public so not the best for opsec.
Frankly man I find this very insulting and pretty racist. You don't have a good word to say about them eh?
If politics is not policy and strategy, what is it? A game?
Wtf are you on about? I've been to Vietnam several times and the progress they have achieved in such a short period of time is incredible. They have built megacities on the ground where the yanks firebombed. Have you been to Da Nang? Walked around HCMC? Spoken to the people? They are evidently working against the corruption, as we can see in this article, whereas where I live everyone knows the govt sends cash to their buddies and no one can do anything about it? (The UK)
Are there any particular texts from Engels that you disagree with? I would be interested to know where you think the split is. From my reading, Engels was mostly involved in the philosophical and scientific side of the development of dialectical materialism and it's application into Marxism. Eg. "Dialectics of Nature", "The German ideology", "Feuerbach and the end of German classical philosophy","anti-duhring" etc. I'm not sure where the apparent "brutality" is coming from here?
How can you agree with Marx and not with Engels? Engels practically did a large chunk of the philosophical heavy lifting for Marxism.
I am not interested in the nitty gritty of the legality of what the cop did. I don't think he should have done it, and to me speaks of a lack of training (and the fact that they are reliant on their firearms)
I am aware of the principle of proportional response, and I know the line is generally; if you fear for your life then it is legally acceptable to maim the assailant. But to kill them I think is a step too far.
I do not think the hoe is "reasonably capable of causing "grievous bodily harm"". I think it is reasonably capable of causing injury, sure, such as cuts, lacerations, blunt trauma. I think GBH would be a very unlikely outcome and if confronted with that as a weapon I would not be preparing myself to kill or even maim them. It is a pretty easy weapon to disarm.
I have trained in quite a bit of self defence with various different martial arts.
The hoe could be lethal in a very unlucky scenario, as you say, if it struck an exposed neck, or major artery. However it is a very ungainly weapon. It is significantly less dangerous than a knife, for example. Police in the UK are not equipped with guns, yet they deal with knife attacks all the time with just a baton.
It seems to me like the cops in the US are far too reliant on their firearms. Dealing with a poor weapon like a hoe should be quite easy to someone who is suitably trained. With all long weapons like this hoe, baseball bat, etc, anything that needs to be swung, you have to get in close, quickly. Then the assailant cannot hit you anymore. Then it should be quite straightforward to make the situation safe in a non lethal manner. This sort of response is completely ridiculous and should not be normalized.
Might as well call it the "I'm a Massive Racist Bill" what a joke

Audio and performance issues on dual-booted thinkpad
Hi there,
Making a post to see if anyone has any ideas about the problems i'm currently having. I have installed Arch via EndeavourOS as a secondary OS on my work laptop (other OS is Win 11). The laptop in question is a thinkpad p15 v3, which has an i7 12700H, and the integrated Intel Alder Lake-P gpu. I'm using Gnome on wayland as my DE at the moment.
The only game I have been playing so far is Hollow Knight through proton (the native version had very bad input lag), and I have a couple of issues with it:
- Performance, on battery power, is pretty bad, around 30-40 fps with low settings. When on AC, the laptop starts to get really hot (70 C) and the exhaust feels like a hair dryer, but performance increases only by 10 fps or so. I'm pretty sure I installed necessary drivers following the arch wiki page.
- Audio, this is the major problem. Endeavour came with pulseaudio installed, which I removed and replaced with pipewire, pipewire-pulse, and wireplumber. When playing Hollow Knight the sound will often turn into crunchy 8-bit sounding stuff, which I thought was a buffer underrun, and I followed the fixes listed on arch wiki, but to no avail.
Now the audio has seemingly completely stopped working, in pavucontrol I have 5 output devices, but switching through all of them whilst playing audio from my browser still results in no sound through headphones. In the configuration, there is "Alder Lake-PCH-P High definition audio controller" and it remains "Off". When I switch it to "On", it switches back immediately. The pipewire services are running however.
If anyone has any tips that would be greatly appreciated

package to move and manage folders?
Hi,
I'm looking for a package that will allow me to configure some rules for moving folders and then watch a folder and automatically move folders or files that match rules to a certain other directory. Does something like this exist?
The use case is that I have data being saved to a single directory by other devices, and then I would like to reorganize it based on the file or folder name.
Or anyone have any other ideas of how to do this?
foss garmin bike computer apps
I’m wondering if there are any good foss apps for connecting to a garmin bike computer (520) to transfer GPX files?
I used to use Komoot to generate my routes, and then their garmin app would download them from my account. This isn’t very foss, so I was looking for some better tools to make this work.
I was planning to use OsmAnd to create the route file, but then after that I would have to use Garmin Connect to transfer the file. (and with storage sandboxing, that would be very fiddly)
Any tips?

Sailing to escape
Hello sailors, I just wanted to share my hopes to one day be living in a sailboat off grid. I was wondering if anyone else has done this, or any recommendations anyone might have? I have read some books on the matter, such as Get Real, Get Gone, and found it very informative. At this stage, when I cannot leave land for at least a few more years, I am thinking of getting a smaller sailboat to practice with and do some small trips.

Database corruption and fix
Hi there, I just wanted to quickly share an issue that we worked through to do with database corruption. Perhaps there are some learnings or improvements that can be made to the backend handling of database connections/transactions to stop this happening in the future?
Problem
The activity table in lemmy db had 1 duplicated record, which we noticed when trying to reindex the db.
Cause
We suspect that the cause was due to duplicating the docker stack that contained our lemmy services. We are running these as docker swarm services. I think there was a short moment in time where two lemmy backend services existed, and were on the same network as the database, and therefore they both wrote to the activity table at the same time. afaik, it should not be possible to do this, if transactions are being used.
The second potential cause was stopping the old stack, but we're pretty sure that the services are meant to be stopped gracefully, but this is worth checking.
Fix
we copied out the activity table to a new table, and then copied all of the records to another table that did not have a unique key constraint. this allows you to search for the duplicate keys and remove them. verify that the duplicate is removed, then we performed the operation on the activity table and reindexed it. this resolved the issue.
tldr
be careful when stopping your stack, and also when duplicating it. definitely set up regular backups of your db, and I also feel that some regular backups should be built into the lemmy postgres image.
