I'm imagining that I'd just use whatever grapheneos keyboard, or Florisboard, which I prefer for peck typing over Gboard.
My only problem is finding a time to switch. I need my phone for work, so I need to sit down, backup my data, install GOS and restore, then spend like 5 hours learning the new systems. Things like sandboxing Google are nice until I'm lost in BFE without Google Maps or OSMand+ because I didn't properly set up.
Android is still great. The Pixel phone is the best Android phone by several metrics. Usability and Camera come to mind. Android TV is by far the best TV interface. Just because it's sideloadable and decently usable. Low bar, but here we are.
Gboard is good. The pixel launcher is good enough to not bother switching off. The Google Home certainly turns my lights on and off. And as soon as Google opens RCS, I'm leaving Google Messages.
But that's the only Google stuff I use. And I'm thinking of switching to Graphene OS.
I know you didn't want to, but I'll bet two navidrome instances will be faster and lighter than JF or Plex.
If anyone is has no idea what that means, XL bully is a type of dog.
This might be common knowledge, but I've never heard of it.
Is there some reason to not assume they'll be cis and straight? Does this change your behavior at all toward them?
It's not like we're out arranging marriages or setting up our kids. They'll figure it out on their own and teaching a cis, straight boy to play baseball is no different than teaching a cis, gay boy or a trans, straight boy or trans straight girl or any other combination. If a kid doesn't like baseball, that just means the kid doesn't like baseball.
I've seen one video on the subject that my wife showed me, then I had a conversation with my wife about it.
When you're looking at statistics, women attacked by bears per year vs women attacked by men per year, it's not taking into account the fact that 99% of women don't get into situations where they are near bears. Most women (and men) don't go hiking in bear populated woods frequently. Like how the overall odds of getting struck by lightning is low, but some people are struck 8 times are survive.
The better statistic for this argument is that a man is more likely going to kill you in an encounter, should it escalate. I didn't fact check this, but I'll take this video at it's word.
Lol. Someone sent this to me. Didn't even notice the name, though.
I'm pretty afraid of what it is...
It's not very widely used, but even if it doesn't get any better it's going to kick our ass
You can disable downloading if your music is copyrighted. Or a layer for copy left of someone tries to take credit.
I don't think you're supposed to host music you don't have the rights to. I think you're supposed to post your own music
Good luck reading it without taking a long enough break for the genie to think you finished the wish. Or mispronouncing a word and changing the meaning completely.
Looking for a good, cheap backup solution.
I've been using pCloud to back up only the most important information. The stuff that's hard to get back if something bad happens. Kept in sync with rclone.
Now I think it's time to scale up. I have 1 computer with 4 hard drives plugged up to it. I want to either back up the whole things. I'm thinking of something like backblaze. What does everyone here do for backups?
If we could suck 101% of the carbon we produce in a day out of the air, how would the effect global efforts to go carbon neutral?
Obviously, this will probably never happen. In the best future for humanity, maybe we can drop our emissions enough to allow for such a thing. But more likely societal collapse
Frameo digital picture frame privacy
I want to get my wife a digital picture frame. Just a little screen that we can add pictures to. Nothing too complicated.
Half of them out there run on frameo. A friend of mine has a frameo, it seems nice. The privacy policy isn't great. Facebook, Google, the usual offenders. Supposedly, it's end to end, so the pictures are secure. I don't know and that
Is there a decent alternative? I'm not against going with a flash drive, if that's my only option.
How likely am I to brick the fairphone 4 if I buy one?
Thinking about buying the fairphone 4. Coming from oneplus 8, which is almost unbrickable, thanks to an EDL MSM tool.
Obviously, I'd be careful. But am I likely to brick a fp4 by ROM hopping? Is it dangerous enough that I should not go into buying this phone with the intention of installing a ROM?
Mainly, I want to play with Ubuntu Touch, PostmarketOS, and maybe sailfish. But I figure if those don't quite work out, I'll land on Lineage with MicroG or /e/, since that'll be stock fp4 in the US.
Homarr with torrent/jellyseerr security
I'm interested in running a service like homarr. This would give my family access to view stuff easily, and I could link to the rest of my services. My main concern is linking jellyseerr, and giving what could be strangers access to make requests.
Is anyone out there using a home screen with seerr capability? How is it working for you?
Looking for a better SMS system.
I'm very tired of SMS being horrible and necessary. Matrix has a bridge for SMS, but it doesn't work very well. There's other SMS bridges, no idea how well they work.
Does anyone have a good solution for dealing with SMS?
How important is license to you?
Obviously, the closer to AGPL, the better, in my opinion. But I'll run some MIT, if the product is sufficiently better, for my use case, than the alternative. For example, I want a multilibrary photo album. Photoprism (AGPL) doesn't offer it, but Immich (MIT) does. As soon as Photoprism has that functionality, I'll switch back simply for the license.
My hard line is open source. I don't use any proprietary solutions.
Best self hosted photo manager for multi user
My wife is using Google Photos, and I've been using Photoprism for a few months. I just had a baby, and I access to download the pictures that my wife takes. I'm not too sure of what I want. I guess I want two separate libraries, but I want to be able to view her pictures easily and add them into my library. I believe if I spin up a second photoprism instance, I'd have to download her pictures individually and reupload them into my instance.
What do any of you do? Do you even host photo storage for your family?
In Ohio, you and your spouse share an FMLA pool for children if work together
Just a heads up, if you're looking to have children in Ohio. If you and your spouse work at the same place, your company can give you a shared FMLA pool, rather than two separate pools. Not sure if this is a common rule, across the country. And obviously your company can give you more as they see fit.
The company my wife and I work lets us take 2 weeks off with no approval needed, which is what I'll do, and I'm giving my wife the 12 weeks of FMLA. I only have 2 weeks vacation time, so if I took any more, I'd start eating my cash.
