I'm surprised I didn't think of the EFF despite donating to them before. Thank you for the links.
This looks really interesting. I try to get stories from varied sources, but don't particularly want it "curated" for me. I'm going to add this to my rotation.
You got closer than I did. I didn't mention it in the original post, but I also tried duckduckgo with little luck. I hope to god this is peak enshittification because I can imagine how it gets worse from here.
Yes, I tried Duckduckgo, but also didn't get great results. Admittedly, I could have revised my terms a few more times, but I've had good luck with things Lemmy recommends, and this doesn't really seem like a niche interest on this site.
Thanks for the recommendation on all the 3 letter agencies. I bet there are mountains of CSPAN coverage out there for me to watch.
Does anyone watch Google, Microsoft, etc the way Cop Watch watches cops?
I'm looking for 3rd parties who watch and report on developments in these large "world-shaping" corporations. Like a watchdog or a canary when they get into lawsuits or get caught doing bad things. Investigative reporting whether IRL or thorough internet documentarian style is ideal.
I've been thinking a lot about how google's algorithm changes have contributed to the web becoming the shit show it is now and what the alternatives could be. I do want to make sure I have a clear understanding of as much of the history as I can.
I tried searching "who watches google" and obviously just got advertised pages of Android Wear spy bracelets.
Is there a good old-fashioned directory page (or Community) for these anti-Web 2.0 resources?
Your help is appreciated!
Huh, I'm not gonna buy one because I have 2-3 more bikes/ ebikes and an electric unicycle in line in front of it, but that's really cool. I don't see schematics, but I didn't look very hard. I did look at the parts section and that's cool. Looks like they might have gotten their start making kits for other manufacturers vehicles.
Conversely, I poked my head into Open Street Map the other day to contribute some new bike rack locations I found and it's amazing the amount of detail people have curated on there. I can see where the streetlights are in the parking lots, every power pole, etc. Soon I'll be able to see what color the Marigolds in your mom's yard are. :D
The enshittification of maps didn't hit me as hard as search did, but maps was always a centralized service with a few key players, whereas the enshittification of search was helped by the web 2.0 shift.
Yup, with a minimum completion time of 1 hour for the video training and the policies you have to read afterwards. Also remember not to click the super obvious phishing emails that obviously came straight from your own IT department. :D
Louis Rossman, the revered right-to-repair crusader, had a similar take. Leaning and overleaning is inherent to how the device works and if you bust your head because you pushed past the point of failure that's not 100% on Future Motion. I also rented a one wheel through a gear sharing app and had a similar impression: its clear when you're reaching max lean.
What is on Future Motion and other EV manufacturers, in my opinion, is how all this bullshit tech that makes cars more difficult to repair at home or at the third party shop is being added to micro mobility devices. These vehicles should be easy to service, like a muscle bike or an unpowered skateboard. Isn't one of the reasons cars suck that we spend way too much time/money maintaining them. I'd like that million dollars back please.
If people are blowing things up, perhaps we should teach more classes on electricity in high school. Or we could establish a trade license similar to a plumber or electrician, but certified to work on all small electronics. Obviously self-repair would still be legal, but to do it commercially in a storefront, you could guarantee that those people understand the difference between volts and amps and could define an ohm. Suddenly, 50% less houses burn down due to EV fires. (I would hope)
I imagine then that for an equivalent battery our sodium battery would weight 3 times as much and take up twice as much space as a lithium battery (plus any extra weight a larger housing or heavier mounting brackets add). Most of the ebikes I've ridden have batteries approximately the size of a 2L of cola.
My battery would no longer fit fully in the downtube, or would have to be paired with a second battery. Perhaps putting it in the frame triangle would work. For larger bikes, like cargo bikes, I could see a large flat battery being put in the bottom of the wheelbarrow part without really being that noticeable. Even if only half of bikes changed over, it would still be a win.
I've also visited a lithium mining area in the salt flats and what we've done to the indigenous folks' land, communities, and to the people themselves is abhorrent. We can do better. Let's hope these sodium batteries become available sooner rather than later, especially for circumstances where the weight/size are less of an issue.
The first time anything got caught in the gap, it would probably shatter the screens. I do like it better than the crease though
That'll come out. Good thing I bough the optional $400 i...ron.
I have never had to make a claim on my bikes, so I can't make a recommendation, but the insurance through my car insurance/ home insurance company.
Probably pretty low.
Congrats in the bike! I hope you have fun zipping all over town. If bike theft is a thing where you live, grab the serial number andsee about getting it added to your insurance under a personal articles policy. Mine is only $100/yr and I feel so much better about leaving it locked up out of my sight for a second.
Once we hit a critical mass of cyclists, more places will start getting valet bike parking or at least monitored bike parking. It'll happen with breweries and trail adjacent businesses first. My town offers event racks at street fairs and parades and such. Not sure if they are monitored.
We can speed this along by requiring all commercial buildings of a certain size, renovated or newly constructed to have a signed bike room or monitored rack area.
It's a shame that one asshole can ruin the fun for so many people. For $8k+ he could have stolen a single Ram 3500 hemi super duty mega cab instead and only negatively impacted a few people while making the roads safer for everyone.
I'll reply without knowing your situation fully. If you don't have an emergency fund that would cover several months worth of expenses that is probably the single most impactful thing you can do with $10k. A few high yield savings account offer rates around 4%, some of them have strings attached, so read how it works carefully. Think of this as insurance against unforseen expenses that you might otherwise have to put on a card and consequently pay interest for. Pick a number and always make sure you keep that account at that number.
If you already have an emergency fund, you have lots of options. Personally, I am onboard with the folks recommending index funds. I have an ETF that tracks the DOW and it has outperformed most of my individual stocks significantly over time.
Most importantly, strangers on the internet are likely not financial advisors and may not even know what they are doing. Take everything with a grain of salt and if you talk to any investment companies make sure you understand the difference and overlap between a financial advisor and a fiduciary.
So I already responded, but I'm seeing here that you are also a cyclist! I have tried a number of watches over the years and Garmin is absolutely the gold standard for fitness focused smartwatches. Some of them, like mine, only have buttons, no touchscreen, which sounds bad, but is actually amazing. Sure I can only choose from prewritten SMS responses, but I can get there with a few button clicks while riding (even on gravel). With my touchscreen watches, I used to have to stop to reply. The TFT screens also look better in direct sunlight than an LCD or OLED. So now, whenever my wife texts "where are you?" I can send a "out riding, love you" with only a few clicks. I also send her my GPS location when I ride in the road so she can have some peace of mind. I hear Wahoo also released a watch, haven't heard much about it.
Cons are a weak app ecosystem and not quite as "smart" (meaning it is not as filled with tech gimmicks and an endless stream of notification chum). The stat analysis of your health data is best done via Garmin Connect app or even better, the desktop website. They let you download some of the reports as a CSV, but I've found that more often than that, the formatting and how the data is broken up in the csvs needs some work.
Do remember, while not a Google or an Apple, Garmin is still a big evil corporation trying to make money off chumps like you and me. You likely won't get these features and keep your privacy 100% intact
Someone close to me had positive things to say about the Wyze watch as well. If apple and android are tier A, wyze is below that, but above all the F tier temu and amazon junk.
As someone who has bought a fair number of smartwatches and fitness trackers and always over-researches every decision I make:
- See the rest of the replies for info on cheap smart watches. They're basically a cereal box toy.
- Depending on what you need, the MiBand or Amazfit bands had excellent battery life and there used to be 3rd party apps for your phone that did a much better job collecting and displaying your stats than Zepp or MiFit (the official apps) did. I miss my 1.5 month battery life. Its also possible to use gadget bridge so it's all 100% offline though I understand its still a bit more rudimentary than a corporate cloud-based solution. I remember the bands I got from them running $25-50 USD
- Used Garmin devices or previous gen garmin devices can be had MUCH cheaper than list price on Amazon or so. I picked up a Fenix 6 a few years ago for less than half of the $600 list price. I love the lack of touchscreen because the button navigation is absurdly fast and no mistouches! This suits how I use a watch much better than trying to put a tiny a 2x2cm touchscreen on my wrist. These are fitness watches, but some have a few smart features. Depends on what you plan to use it for I guess.
- If you are a nerd (a good thing) and want to contribute to a cool project, Pine Computers, which makes the pinebook, pinetab, pinephone, etc. makes a device called the pinetime that is basically a smartwatch that is open to the community's hacks and modifications. I haven't bought one because my biking depends on my Garmin stats, but I am tempted to grab one to mess with it.
None of these are fancy "smarts first" watches like an Apple Watch or an Android Watch. I found I needed less smarts than I thought as I usually carry my phone at all times anyway. It is nice to have the doorbell ring on my wrist and to reply to texts by choosing from a few pre-written responses while biking, or otherwise unavailable to text. If you really want a bunch of apps and integration with your phones OS, Apple and Android are the big two and its not really feasible to go 3rd party for the same experience.
I spent around $3750 for my ebike. As an example of what that gets you, I tested a lot of bikes, cheap and expensive and here's what stood out to me:
- Torque sensing rather than cadence sensing for pedal activation means my bikes torque scales with my own. A cheap bike just goes "oh, the pedals moved a half rotation, engage electric motorcycle mode". This makes my bike feel more connected, it's the difference between putting on an exoskeleton versus driving a walking robot from a cockpit.
- Torque specs and maintenance info clearly listed, bike shop can get spare parts. While I'd like to see parts availability commitments become more common, right now the best you can do is go with a well known brand.
- Frame geometry is often better on bikes from bike brands making bikes with tech than tech startups making bikes. This relates directly to on-bike comfort
- As we're all discussing here, battery quality can make a difference in safety and functionality.
I hope this helps. I still think you can get a reputable bike at a good price, but I would generally skip the Temu, Amazon, no name rebrand ebikes out of concern for their quality.
I'm seeing that sodium ion batteries have lower energy density than lithium ion batteries. I'm not a chemist. So I had to do some searches and it appears this is measured by weight, not volume.
Using hypothetical numbers to explain my question imagine that...
- lithium battery weighs 1kg and has 5 stored energy units
- sodium battery weighs 3kg and has 5 stored energy units
How does this effect the space needed for the battery? If the physical density (not energy density) of sodium was 10 higher, maybe the battery weighs 3 times as much but because it is dense, that weight fits in a smaller (say 100 cubic units), heavier package. Conversely, if the physical density was 10 times lower the battery would be 3 times heavier but be 1000 cubic units.
My question is basically what is the difference in physical density of the materials (kg per cm^2)?
Unfortunately, ddg and google keep assuming I want to know about energy density.
Looking for a Phone With Good Custom ROM Camera Implementation
Howdy fellow lemmings,
I know your collective knowledge is greater than mine, so I have come to you for your wisdom.
My OnePlus 9 is nearing the end of it's life. The power button doesn't work or registers a double press (I use tap2wake and tap2sleep instead) and some other parts are hinting that they're starting to die. Also, something in 915Mhz or 925Mhz seems to be causing random UI reboots at the grocery store. Might be hardware or custom rom related.
I'm looking for something with:
- Unlockable bootloader with option for root. I may or may not root this time around, depends on how tailscale to my pihole at home works. I absolutely must be able to strip out the bloat and preferably the google apps as well (though I'd like to keep the option for play store), I'm extremely ad-phobic.
- Open hardware that third party developers can properly use. I'm running CrDroid on my OP9 and it's ridiculously great, but cannot make good use of my camera. There are quality issues, cropping issues, and functionality issues and I've experienced similar with other phones I had in the past. Are there manufacturers who publish specs resulting in better 3rd party camera implementations? I would be fine with a more midrange phone, as I don't play many games, but I need the camera to work well.
- A large/active modding scene is appreciated
- Bonus points if they don't advertise a bunch of AI bs that I don't want or need
- Location is USA, though phone can be from anywhere as long as it works. I need at least a few bands to be able to use the phone in Germany.
Can anyone advise on which manufacturers meet my requirements?
My understanding is: OnePlus - unlockable, rootable, custom ROM cameras suck unless the rom uses default op9 camera and it seems that this doesn't work well with more AOSP-y ROMS
Pixel - varies by manufacturer
ASUS - I'm seeing concerns about unlocking and Roms though it seems they have been good in the past
Nothing Phone - unlockable/rootable
Fairphone - seems ideologically pure, but performance, camera, and battery life may not be awesome
Suggestions and insights are appreciated.
Automatic Speech Recognition in Linux - Seeking Experiences and Recommendations
Hi folks, I'm in a bit of a personal crisis currently and need to quickly find a piece of speech transcription software that works on Linux and does not require a significant time investment to set up and can help me transcribe a number of audio clips <15 min. each.
- Can someone recommend a program that can transcribe some audio recordings for me and is relatively simple to set up and use?
- Do such programs need a GPU to run effectively? I'm running a Dell XPS 9370 laptop which only has internal graphics.
My backup plan is to listen and transcribe by hand, so recommendations of a program that will allow me to self-transcribe by typing while listening at a reduced rate are also appreciated.
- If any experienced transcribers are reading this, have you found that your pedals worked well with Linux?
Normally I would try out all the different programs and do more than the small number of searches I've done, but my timeline doesn't allow time for to build a cluster of custom-coded transcription bots running gentoo on hand-soldered hardware.
My environment is EndeavorOS running on a Dell XPS 9370,internet is over Wifi, with no external dongles or anything currently hooked up.
Phone UI Always Crashes in the Same Store
I visit a store regularly and every time to try to reference something on my phone in that store, I get UI crashes. The phone works fine everywhere else. Its a Oneplus9 running a custom rom.
Two questions:
- What could cause this? Is some sort of interference in the store crashing things? Is the bright light causing the luminosity sensor to overwhelm. Is the store trying to mess with or track my phone in some way and all my modifications, privacy configurations, etc. are choosing to crash instead of allow it?
- Do you have any ideas about how I can figure out what is causing it? Spectrum analysis with a flipper zero or something similar, logs of some kind on the phone, process of elimination? Links are appreciated if it requires advanced nerd cred (I'm probably intermediate with Linux, Android and tech in general, except networking where my knowledge is mediocre bit growing).
I am beyond curious what is going on because it is so weird that it works perfectly everywhere, but the UI keeps rebooting in this one store.
Is It Worthwhile to Serve Video off a Server separate from my NAS?
I have a decent 2 bay synology, but want to put all my docker images/ VMs running on a more powerful machine connected to the same LAN. Does it ever make sense to do the for media serving or will involving an extra device add too much complexity vs just serving from the NAS itself. I was hoping to have calibre/home assistant/tube type services, etc. all running off a mini PC with a Ryzen 7 and 64gb ram vs the NAS.
My Linux knowledge is intermediate; my networking knowledge is begintermediate, and I can generally follow documentation okay even if it's a bit above my skill level.
What is your favorite type of bike bell, horn, or warning device?
When we were kids, you may have had a honky-horn with a bulb on the end, perhaps you had bells with gears that strike multiple times as they unwind like one of those self-propelled matchbox cars. Maybe you unscrew your bell halfway so the cracks on the trail ring it as you weave through a crowd of other trail users. Or maybe you ride a folding bike through the airport with a little electric horn. Perhaps you're the best kind of DIY redneck and have fitted a literal tugboat horn to a bike trailor so you can scare the bejeezus out of a coalroller after they dump a load of black smoke on you.
Whatever it is, I want to know about it and why you chose it.
Getting Fiber - Please Help Me Understand Routers
Hi Folks,
I host a nextcloud instance, a NAS, and a few content portals for things like ebooks and music (internal only). I'll be migrating Smartthings to Home Assistant eventually. We're going to be upgrading to fiber soon and I have the opportunity to rebuild my wife's network with a long term outlook (we'll likely be here for years). Currently we have an older eero mesh system over cable internet. My desk is right where the cable currently comes in so all my Ethernet devices can live near the router.
My question is this:
What am I missing out on as a self-hoster by using whatever equipment metronet gives me?
What am I missing out on as a regular internet user by using the default equipment.
Am I likely to be annoyed about where the fiber comes into the house?
If it makes sense to buy my own router or access point(s), what is a reasonable balance between "daddy Bezos please read all my emails" and "you'll never be secure until you build a router from custom circuit boards you custom ordered and hand assembled in a secure area".
I'd like to avoid complex configuration, but if I can surface advanced options when needed, that would be great.
My Linux knowledge is intermediate. My networking knowledge is begintermediate.
Feeling Overwhelmed Picking Door Sensors
I'm looking for door & window contact sensors and motion sensors to replace an old Simon 3 ADT security system. I've read a lot of posts and such and I'm still having a hard time picking out sensors that will work with an existing Smarthings v2 Hub (currently used for lights) and eventually Home Assistant once life calms down a bit more and I have time to go through all the setup. As I understand it, matter/thread support was added in the v3 hub so I don't have this on my ST v2.
I'd like to avoid anything from Amazon and locally functioning sensors are preferred.
Can anyone advise on how to pick good devices? There seems to be tons of info out there, but I'm having trouble sifting through it for the info I need. This is a surprise for a family member who has been considering replacing an older system. I'd like to get it in place before they have the chance to buy a crappy, locked down, spyware riddled system from a company like Amazon so that I can be sure everything will transition smoothly to Home Assistant later.
What is the Perfect Price Point for a Hardtail MTB?
Hello fellow internet cyclists,
I did my fair share of extreme stuff as a teen, but most of my adult cycling has been trips around town on paved or gravel trails. I ride 1200-1500 miles a year. I've been wanting to get back into mountain bikes because my main enjoyment in cycling comes from the exploration and discovery aspect of things and I've worn out my city's paved trail network. I live in a mountainous area with good trail access. Also most of the group rides around here tend to be off road.
In general I find that spending money on a lot of things works in the same way. You have to spend a certain amount to get upgraded from Teemu/Wish/Amazon trash to a good reputable product with parts support and consistent quality. You can also keep spending money forever to get increasingly marginal improvements.
What have you found to be the sweet spot for features vs price in a hardtail MTB?
I've considered the Trek Fuse Sport, the Salsa Rangefinder Diore 11, Canondale Habit HT3, Trek Rosco 7, but I'm open to hearing other Lemming's experiences. I'm a thin guy but approx 6'4" (195cm) tall.
Lastly, are any of the bike brands known for being particularly anti right to repair? I'd like to avoid supporting people who want to limit my freedom and I want to be sure I can get a wide range of compatible parts at a good price.
What do you call a CPA and Tax Advisor?
Location: USA
I need advice on investments. I want someone to do my taxes, or at least advise me.
I've always done my own taxes and managed my investments. I'm looking for someone to help me with investment strategy. I know to look for a fiduciary as they are required to act in my interest. I also want to talk to someone who can help me leverage and optimize investment losses that I might experience to offset my income.
Obviously I'm not looking for an actual name or business. I'm just not sure what the business name or job title is for someone who does all of this so I can locate someone locally. Basically what is a CPA combined with an investment advisor called? Or how do I get my investment advisor and tax preparer to collaborate on strategy?
NYC Congestion Pricing
Has anyone found any good videos explaining NYC congestion pricing? Most of what I'm finding are fear mongering news clips. I understand there is some subtlety to the issue and I was hoping some urbanist/bike/traffic engineering/numtot youtubers would have done an in depth review explaining whats good and whats not.
Hitch Size: 2" vs 1.25"
I'm putting a hitch on my car so I can take my bike to some state parks in the Spring. UHaul will install a 2" or 1.25" hitch with or without a "hidden crossbar". I know little about cars and towing.
How badly will I restrict my rack choice by opting for the cheaper 1.25"? I won't be using this for anything but bikes.
Action Cams on Linux (i.e. GoPro, DJI, Canon, etc)
Hi folks. I've been running some form of Linux since about 2006 or so. Hardware support has gotten so much better, and yet here I am, looking for personal experiences people have had using action cams with their Linux based operating systems. I've done research on this, but most of the info I've found is out of date or barely-relevant AI-generated tech chum-buckets. I'd prefer your individal experiences as fellow linux users, good or bad. Product recommendations are okay, but I'm also interested in broader observations. I'm hoping to record some footage on my bicycle, a chop it up on my computer later. I'm particularly interested in:
- Do you own an action cam and does it work with Linux?
- What totally rad sport/hobby do you use it for?
- Are there things that kind-of work, or are crippled versus on a non-Linux OS.
- Are you able to update the firmware over Linux or from he device itself? (I have windows for emergencies, but prefer not to use it.
- How does the device mount and have you had issues with file transfers?
- Is there any special software that helps you use your device, for example "piper" can help me configure fancy mice.
- Can you use your device as a webcam?
Thank you for any insight you can provide.
This is what my HRV looked like when I started to feel sick and resumed training too soon.
As I understand it, HRV - Heart Rate Variability allegedly measures the spacing in beats. More variability means your body is chillin' and relaxed; less variability means something is physically stressing you, like sickness, lack of sleep, etc.
At the end of Aug, I was starting to feel under the weather so I cut back on training and spent some time resting. Eager to not lose momentum, I headed out on a 40 mile bike ride as soon as my HRV was almost back to normal and pushed it right back down again.
Lesson learned: err on the side of giving yourself too much time to recover. Hope you found it interesting!
Considering Hosting NAS/Server
Hello SelfHosted!
I've been a Linux enthusiast since ~2006, but I still have gaps in my knowledge and I would not consider myself a "fully-competent" Linux server admin at this point in time. I have to read a lot and ask a lot of questions to figure out things more knowledgeable users may do in their sleep. I'm gonna call myself "begintermediate".
I'm working on simplifying my storage, backups, and general digital hygiene. I have multiple devices split across two locations and I end up having to use hard drives to periodically move files back over to my main desktop for sorting and archiving. If I want to access older files, I have to copy them from my main storage on the desktop to a hard drive, my NextCloud, or whatever device I want to access them on. I would like to avoid this drudgery by moving my file storage to a NAS (don't really even need access outside the network, though it could be useful if I understood it enough to keep it secure). I also hope to simplify by backups in some way because currently all my devices just back up to a different pair of portable drives one of which I hand-carry offsite.
Requirements:
- 4TB+ storage to start
- Expandability, I don't know how storage needs will change over time, but 32TB seems like a fair upper end before wanting to update the whole system.
- Would like to be able to run a few docker images for things like media server, open project, restyaboard, etc. I'm not sure if it makes sense to do this on the NAS or just get a simple NAS and do this stuff in a VM on my laptop or with a Rasberry Pie.
- I don't particularly want to spend more than $600 to get started, but wouldn't mind having empty bays for later as I currently don't have too much data.
Usage:
- 1-4 TB (someday up to 32TB) of files (docs, books, photos, videos, device backups, configs & code snippets, etc.)
- Video, Photo, Music Access via Android Devices
- Video and Photo access via a media portal (like plex or open media vault)
- Would consider moving nextcloud here (currently on the public cloud) if uplink is fast enough.
- Some sort of access via iDevice would be nice in case I want to give another some storage space.
Questions:
-
Does it make sense to mix my uses, i.e. media server, open project, etc. co-existing with file server for my docs and general files. Can I segregate portions for only local access?
-
I don't have tons of time to maintain this. Nextcloud hasn't been a pain, I log in here and there and make sure everything is updated (nextcloud and the server) and I run the NextCloud security scan to make sure I get an A+. Does it make sense to go for something like the better Synology NASs that can run docker images or would it provide better affordability/functionality to use a mini-pc or a FBmarketplace/craigslist slim pc hooked up to a drive enclosure or something else frankenstein-y. I don't mind doing basic maintenance, but I can't afford to spend every other weekend rebuilding things.
-
I have a dead WD MyBook Live and MyBook Cloud on my shelf. WD never updated them to fix the critical security issues, I missed the 40% off upgrade window, and they're not safe to run with network access. They also sucked even when they were new. I want to avoid products doomed to become dead-end abandonware before I'm ready to upgrade. Are there NAS brands that are known to be better/worse with this? How does homemade NAS fare as far as hardware support and having to upgrade/rebuild when OS versions change.
-
Can I purchase/build a simple NAS that I use for storage and serve the files for my media server through a different device like my laptop? Is this better/worse than just streaming from the NAS itself or will I not notice in most cases?
-
It sounds like some of the pre-built machines can use drives of different sizes which would allow me to re-use the barely used drives inside of the WD devices. Do any of the self-build solutions allow for this.
-
I would LOVE some book/media/community recommendations for digital hygiene and how to handle store, backup, maintain the deluge of information in our modern lives.
All in all, I would appreciate any insight on a solution that gives a good balance between features & configuration, affordability. and maintenance time-investment. I figure a community of enthusiasts is a better place to learn than marketing copy.
Thank you for any help you can provide!
Can any applications or services other than Strava generate a personal heatmap from my cycling data?
Hello Fellow Fitness Focused Lemmings!
I started biking more a few years ago for fitness purposes and the thrill of exploration. Strava has a feature where you can overlay all your rides on top of a map that you can pan and zoom in and out on. They call this the "Personal Heatmap". I always try to cover new ground and explore places I haven't been and (as a map nerd) it gives me a thrill to see all my tracks and even the epic long distance rides I did on trips or a few years back.
- Does anyone else know of any other applications or programs that can do this?
I like how Strava shows the "heat" (how many times you've been through a particular route will change the color), but this is not absolutely essential for me. Most important is that I can put all my GPX files on top of a map in a giant messy web of everywhere I've been.
Extra credit goes to any recommendations of FOSS solutions because my main motivation here is to make sure that I can persist my data even if I am not using Strava anymore.
- Additionally, if you know of any other communities on Lemmy that might be well-positioned to answer these questions, I would appreciate your insights as well.
Will This Setup Work? - Nextcloud/Lemmy/PixelFed
Hi folks,
My Nextcloud server has been complaining about being out of date for a while and I finally figured out I needed to update Debian, not extcloud. I managed that, but nextcloud choked on the update when I went to bring it up to date and I've been wanting to do it all over again and hopefully understand the process a little bitter the second time around.
I have a server on the public cloud (think AWS/Azure/Linode/Digital Ocean) with Docker running on it. Is it feasible for me to load up namecheap, lemmy, and pixelfed on the same server in separate docker containers? Anything I should be aware of before trying this?
I worked in the cloud (once again think MS/Amazon/Big Tech), but my role was only partially technical though I have been a GNU-Linux tinkerer since 2005 or so. That is to say, I have no idea what I'm doing, but I can generally read documentation okay.
I believe my previous install was directly to the server via the repos.
Do Delete/Overwrite Tools Rely on the API
Hi Friends, if I want to delete my reddit history, minus a few irreplaceable niche subs, do I have to do this before the API change? Do these tools require API access to work? I already managed to back up my comments and posts to a CSV using some kind of "Power Delete" or something like that. I'm just waiting to see if I actually need my reddit for anything before I launch the nukes and wipe the account to about 10% of what was on there.
