My 6th gen iPad is the only Apple product I own. It’s also the only device that refuses to connect to my WiFi. I was going to make it a wall panel, but it’s shit.

My wife bought the $100 digital wall calendar from KMart and it hooked up to my CalDav server. I was surprised that it showed zero dark patterns. No vendor lock-in. No ads. No spying.

There’s Nexcloud and the “Memories” plugin. It’s not as good as Immich though, especially if you don’t need the rest of NextCloud.

The worst I had was a credential-stuffer bot that used a set of leaked credentials to get on my mail server and send spam. I changed the password within 5 minutes and it stopped. That was the end of it.

Once I had someone deface a website because wordpress wasn’t patched. I just restored the site from backup and moved on with life.

I would think that most of the time, you just join a botnet.

BUT someone getting into your email can let them do password resets to all your accounts. Then again, I self-host my email because all mail providers are reading your email by default. I’d still rather self-host it.

You can still just open it to the internet. Just do it on IPv6 instead.

I saw the JXL article recently. It’s good progress. Didn’t a major browser remove JXL support after it was added?

I’m on Ubuntu gnome. I think the biggest outlier was LibreOffice, which didn’t support any modern formats.

GrapheneOS (Android 17)

Ubuntu server.

I found a dude maintaining a deb repo. I might give that a shot.

It’s kinda nuts that people have got it working and fully automates the packaging, but immich haven’t taken it on.

You’ve demonstrated my point perfectly 😆

I’ve really wanted to ditch JPEG. It’s a 34 year old format.

The problem is that AVIF, JPEG-XL and HEIC/HEIF don’t work in many places. At a minimum I would want them to display in my gallery app (currently Nextcloud memories), display in a browser, and have native support at an OS level (i.e thumbnail previews). Neither format is close to this.

You don’t need to delete them entirely. You can convert a 5MB/22 megapixel JPEG to a 500KB/2 megapixel AVIF that looks 95% as good when viewed on a phone screen.

Remember to switch plans. The plan you’re on won’t go down. The plan they offer to new customers will.

Last time, I re-signed to the same plan with the same provider for a lower price.

Explanation: They’re cunts.

I have an A1 mini. I had no idea it was being pushed by influencers.

I genuinely thought it was the “Brother laser” of 3D printing.

Make it a subdomain on a wildcard cert if you’re concerned about that.

Just expose it on single-stack IPv6. Nobody ever knocks. The address space is not scannable.
