Is there a good source for wide toe socks?
I'm looking for an affordable option so I can replace all my normal socks. Not necessarily individual toe socks, but just wide enough in the front to better fit with a wide toe box shoe.
Is it based on ActivityPub? I don't really know much about it other than Jack Dorsey is involved.
Nice, I'll check it out. Thanks
Can Strawberry interface with iPods?
I'm all for incremental improvements but these people that laud themselves as environmental heros for owning an electric car need to understand what happens behind the curtain before they receive their electric car, and after the battery is replaced.
Is there any comprehensive proof that EV production is cleaner than ICE production?
Yes I did read the article. I'm not saying that she shouldn't have replaced her vehicle, in fact she probably did make the smartest choice by going for a second hand EV. I'm just frustrated by the people that assume an electric vehicle is somehow "good" for the environment when it is not.
She refers to her car in the following ways:
- "a car that [does] not emit pollution"
- "Zero emission gave me peace of mind that I made the right choice for a world facing climate change"
- "earth-friendly"
Also this statement shows she is concerned about the environment:
"suddenly remembered my intention for buying an EV in the first place. I should have spoken up. Greenhouse gas emissions, carbon dioxide, climate crisis ... These words jumbled in my head. Nobody had even mentioned this life-or-death issue we all are facing."
But EVs are not some sort of silver bullet for the climate crisis. Do we yet have any studies confirming that they are better for the environment over ICE vehicles when considering lithium mining, vehicle production, battery replacement, tire pollution etc?
I hope that the EV revolution is a net positive solution over ICE vehicles, but they are not some sort of magical product that is going to save the planet.
The author of this article believes her electric car is friendly to the planet
I find this ignorance really frustrating that people believe purchasing an electric car is somehow environmentally neutral. People should be educated on the environmental toll of EV production, lithium mining, tire pollution etc.
That was fantastic! Coming up on 2 years into this tour and they are going strong!
Darn, will the trunk grow any taller or is that it?
Is there a way to get my avocado tree to continue growing the main trunk?
I trimmed the trunk because it was growing quite tall and spindly. Is there any way to continue growing the main trunk or will it only grow branches now?
I've been using AntennaPod and it is no frills and works flawlessly.
I'll be interested to see an open source version of this!
Any unique use-cases for a Pinephone?
I bought a Pinephone out of curiosity and while it has been fun to play with, I am looking to repurpose it to something else. Has anyone found a good use for it, maybe incorporated into a smart home setup or something along those lines?
I remember reading that GOS eventually wants to develop their own hardware, although I'm sure that is many years away.
This does seem crazy. I thought maybe they transfer over all the person's data, but no it says in their FAQ that you lose all your data in the process.
I've had a lot of luck with banking apps on GrapheneOS. Worth a try if you haven't already.
This looks really intriguing. Have you installed it on a raspberry pi? I'm having some difficulties and wondering if there are other packages I need to install first.
Using LibreElec, were you able to get any streaming services running like Netflix or YouTube?
I would like a UI I could use with a remote but the wife still needs Netflix so Kodi wouldn't cut it.
Then stand up your own server and govern it as you please.
What's the point then? Is it fdroid specifically?
You can download the APK from their website and it auto updates itself. It fetches notifications without Google required.
Unfortunately my furnace (Rheem) only works this way which is so disappointing. I wish it could be cracked so that it could work independently with home assistant.
its not a huge issue on KeePassXC because I keep a yubikey nano plugged into my laptop, but for my phone, I haven't been able to make this work reliably with KeePassDX. I'll have to give it another go.
Beeper.com - how does it rank in terms of privacy?
I am looking for a solution to receive WhatsApp messages on my phone. I don't want to install the WhatsApp app on my personal phone, but it is on my work phone and its mandatory for my job. I held out for a long time but it is necessary that I answer messages on there.
Beeper.com is enticing but it appears to have a lot of trackers for an app that claims it respects privacy.
What do you guys think?
Looking for wired ear buds
I am looking for a set of wired earbuds with a USBC Jack. I had a set of apple ones with an adapter but I found the adapter too unreliable. This will be for use with a google pixel phone. Anyone got a set they could suggest?
what is the best privacy distro?
For my phone, I use Graphene OS. What would be the best desktop Linux option to match the level of security and privacy that GOS provides?
has anyone had issues with PinePower when using the american plug?
I find that the brick is so heavy and the connection point doesn't fit very snug, and the power plug falls out quite easily. Anyone else experience this?
Graphene OS vs Lineage OS
I am currently running Graphene OS and I am very happy with it, but I am not so happy with my Pixel phone. I am wanting to switch hardware that Graphene does not support.
Would I be losing many privacy & security advantages by switching to Lineage?
Will the Steam Deck warn me if I'm driving it too hard?
I notice the fan going pretty hard all the way through my gaming sessions. I'm curious if the Steam deck will warn me before I do damage to the machine?
is there a trustworthy repo for Protonmail and Proton apps?
I'd like to rely on Google Play Store less, is there an easy way to get proton apps and keep them updated?
