My Kindle is significantly lighter than my phone which makes it easier to hold for long stretches. The screen is bigger and I can render the text a little larger without sacrificing too much.The screen doesn’t produce light on it’s own which reduces eyestrain. My Kindle has a warm nightlight which I hope helps me sleep better. The page turn buttons are better placed than the volume buttons

I’ve read for hundreds and hundreds of hours on both phone and Kindle and the Kindle is absolutely worth the cost for me (once it’s hacked). I hope there are better and more open options available when it finally dies.

jesus christ it just keeps going…and going…and going

I’ve been using miniflux in docker with a miniflux-ai container I found on GitHub, I seem to recall I had issues out of the box and had to tweak it but that was quite a while ago, can’t remember the details. I have it configured to generate summaries of a list of feeds in miniflux when it sees new items. Works pretty well, needs to be restarted occasionally but has been just fine for the amount of time it took to setup.

Cheers y’all, hope the next year is even better

It’s erythritol

Erythritol may impair cellular functions essential to maintaining brain blood vessel health, according to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. Findings suggest that erythritol increases oxidative stress, disrupts nitric oxide signaling, raises vasoconstrictive peptide production, and diminishes clot-dissolving capacity in human brain microvascular endothelial cells.

I really like this idea, I can’t believe you just threw this together, awesome work and thank you for sharing, I hope it gets some traction

Also curious, have a similar project in mind. I’ve tinkered with jekyll a little and heard good things about Hugo. Hopefully people can speak to some of these.

This is a wild achievement, huge props to the people that made it happen

This is big, an enormous amount of work went into this and it’s an important step for securing our tool chains in the future. Big props to the Debian team!

That’s a sweet gif if I do say so

you’re a good dad

I thought the same thing initially but modern video codecs, plus the developer’s plan to limit the videos to 30 seconds actually seem feasible. Large Lemmy and mastodon servers are also pricy to run but the community finds a way, I think it’ll be the same for Loops.

Loops is a TikTok clone in the same way pixelfed is an Instagram clone. It’s an app and a backend server setup with activitypub. You can sign up now to the developer’s instance if you’re interested. After signup you get access to the beta app. It’ll probably hit the app store in a few weeks/months depending on how fast the developer can get it done.

This speakers are fire! That’s awesome

Choosing is not so much about whether it’s internet facing or not. From the programmer’s perspective and an administrator’s perspective there are pros and cons to both. As someone looking to self-host, if you want to run a service that works with either, I would make the choice based on what seems the most supported, or which one you feel the most comfortable looking up and performing administrative tasks on. I tend to use postgresql more just because I have more experience with it and can recommend it if that’s what you need, but mysql can be just as good or better in many circumstances. Pick whichever one looks easier to you.

It’s great! I ran Mycroft for years and this is such a better experience overall. I really love the ability to create custom sentences to trigger whatever. There are features I’m still hoping for like some kind of reminder things so I can finally drop google assistant for good. This is a great product for enthusiasts and signals even better products in the future as the ecosystem matures. It’s a good time to be interested in voice assistants.

Yakuake for life baby, it’s the best, fully customizable, some really beautiful presets out there. My sweet spot is full screen but with 70ish percent opacity so I can read what’s behind it. Pull up your tutorial or walkthrough or whatever in a browser, hit f12 and goooooo.

That bed sensor is looking awfully tasty, thanks sharing!

It’s wild that we’re getting two solutions in a couple days after a few years of nothing
