I use Traccar, at least on Android the tracker is set and forget, and the web app can be installed as a PWA for easy viewing of all devices. Admin interface is a little clunky, but when you get it set up it works great.

More taskbar customization, including vertical and top positions: Repositioning the taskbar is one of the top asks we’ve heard from you. We are introducing the ability to reposition it to the top or sides of your screen, making it easier to personalize your workspace.

You didn’t introduce shit. It was a feature all the way up to Windows 10 and then you removed it. Go fuck yourselves.

Wouldn’t it be nice if this was actually a heartfelt message from a developer instead of damage control? Wouldn’t it be nice if a large corporation had some self awareness for one goddamn second?

What happened to “reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks” from the release notes? Maybe Claude wrote that too lol

Vibecoded app or not, I really hope this refreshingly unhinged writing style is all you.

Be careful, that’s an AI generated review. Definitely try to find other human reviews before you buy it.

If you go through that user’s other reviews, while they are very funny, they’re also very AI generated. Tons of contrivances and the classic “and honestly?”

They were almost all posted on April 13th, and they all drop the “brand name” of the product in just really unnatural ways. This is 1,000% a bot.

Do go visit the profile though. The sex toy reviews are pretty funny.

If you want some quick examples of how this is obviously AI:

Ah I see. I’ve gotten into some back and forth with the maintainer of Caddy about these build inconsistencies and lack of versioning, and he responded by locking issues on me… twice.

After that communication, I resigned to just keep things as they are because upstream is not willing to make the experience better for use cases like these.

He is impossible to work with, but Caddy is just really good :/

What issue did you have? If I can handle it for the user automatically, I can add a best effort attempt to avoid it.

Hi!

The project is still active! I just haven’t needed to develop any updates because it’s currently stable, and the upstream Docker compose template, which is a reference for my project, hasn’t changed in 9 months:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/blob/main/templates/docker-compose.yml

Whenever Lemmy releases a new Docker container, it will just pull the latest one automatically. This will continue to be compatible indefinitely until the compose deployment (linked above) has any breaking changes added to it that I need to incorporate.

Thank you for the shout out :)

I’m really curious to learn how you get calls in so many different languages. I could definitely see Spanish, English, and maybe Vietnamese all being spoken in a general geographic area, but you listed a lot of diverse languages. Pretty cool if that’s really all within one area!

Fun fact: they spent quite a while working on a segmented 3D animation system for all the sprites. Every sprite is split up into segments, and then those segments are positioned in 3D space depending on the camera angle. They can even independently move each part of a character, like a leg, without having to create an entirely new sprite just for one frame.

This is 3 years old at this point, but this should give a good idea of how the new animation system works!

I use Backblaze B2, but stored in an encrypted Restic container, set up using this guide:

https://helgeklein.com/blog/restic-encrypted-offsite-backup-with-ransomware-protection-for-your-homeserver/

Restic has been great for automating backups, and even letting me mount the encrypted storage to grab individual files. I like doing it this way since I don’t have to trust Backblaze isn’t reading my data - I know for sure that they can’t.

Performance of storage that is both remote and encrypted is about what you would expect, but I don’t need access to the data unless something bad happens.

Ok… sure. But what physical devices would I use, and what software would they run?

Are there any “open” solutions to mesh networking that can compare to TP-Link Omada? I don’t think any open source hardware or software can come close, especially not for the newer Wi-Fi standards.

I haven’t bought them yet, but I’m seriously thinking about some Omadas. I imagine I can prevent them from phoning home, and the management software can run locally in a Docker container. Running it like that would be good enough for me even though they’re not “open.”

I’m planning a rework of my home Wi-Fi, and my current plan is an OPNsense box from Protectli, and a few EAP772’s:

If there’s something comparable/better that’s more of an open ecosystem, you definitely have my attention while I’m shopping around for different options.

Definitely recommend Motrix:

If the Google download link supports it, it should be fairly resistant to interruptions. If it doesn’t, this might not help much, but you should still use this instead of just a browser.

I haven’t tried to download a Google takeout, so you might need to get clever with how you add the download link to it.

If you just can’t get it to work, you can try getting the browser extension to automatically send all downloads to Motrix. There is some setup required, though:

Good luck!

They have to restrict themselves to pickpocketing roaming NPC fascists.

What? Fascists? RuneScape doesn’t have…

Oh. HAM, I almost forgot about those guys.

OF requires strict government issued ID verification in some jurisdictions. Patreon does not, at least in the US.

That should be your deciding factor already. No one should have their privacy invaded just to send you a few bucks a month.

Before it got enshittified with an update a few years ago, I used the RealVNC Android app to connect to a few of my own VNC servers. Wasn’t interested in any of the fancy features, I just wanted a good VNC app.

Now I use AVNC. It’s solid, performs better than RealVNC used to, and it’s open source! You can get it on FDroid.

It should still work!

I only go back and make changes to LED if something breaks with a major Lemmy update, but Lemmy hasn’t had a major update since January. Lemmy v0.19.4 isn’t released yet, but when it is, I’ll make sure the deployment is up to date.

Note that it does not have any advanced features that a major instance might want, such as storing images on S3, exporting data, or image moderation. If you intend for your instance to grow for 100+ users, this isn’t for you. This is only intended for beginners who are overwhelmed by the other Lemmy hosting options, and want an easy way to host a small single-user or small-user instance.
