For remote access, wireguard is great. You can access stuff via their internal addresses.

One of the few podcasts I listen to sometimes. Wishing them well and thanks for all of the hard work.

I just discovered (thanks to this site) that you can click the uBlock Origin icon, then “enter element zapper mode” (the lightning bolt). It just gets rid of whatever you want to disappear.

I wonder if it started as a joke.
“Where can you force people to sit still for long enough to detect an afib?”
“The toilet!”

uBlock Origin, to be specific. I don’t know if it’s still a thing, but uBlock used to be not good in comparison to uBlock Origin.

I’m a fan of Dockge. Nice simplicity, easy to update container stacks, etc. etc.

It looks like the hEX refresh is the same price from that vendor.
RB5009 is better but more expensive. There’s a PoE version that can power your WiFi APs in the future.
I also question the decision to put OpenWrt on it. RouterOS is solid. There’s a learning curve, but it’s worth it if you’re a nerd.

Chinstrap Linux haha. It’s like Fedora, but for a totally different demographic.

They can be charged below 0*C, too. No need to redirect lots of current to heating the batteries during charging like with Lithium.

Good news, they just released v1.130.1
- Comment on wanderer v0.15.1 - 5 weeks ago:
I finally figured out how to get the terrain stuff going on my Wanderer. Super cool!
Now I’m trying to figure out my future workflow… can you shed some light on it?
Currently everything I upload is its own “Trail”. This goes for the Strava integration, as well as me just uploading a GPS track.
Trails are nice because they all show up on the Map, making a cool overview of everything I’ve done. Obviously over time this might bog down the system when viewing the map.
Trails aren’t included in the statistics, which is a bummer.
So, I played around with moving each of my activities into broader “trails”, based on where the activity took place. I think that’s probably how Wanderer is supposed to be used, because when I move activities from being a “Trail” to being a “Summit”, they are counted in the statistics.
The only downside to that is they don’t appear on the map, unless you click the specific Summit.
So, basically, my question is – should I just accept the fact that I should move everything into being a Summit, so I can enjoy the statistics?
Thanks!

I used Portainer for a while and still like it for checking out networking stuff, but try out Dockge! It’s more open sourcey and basic, but makes updating easier.

I use gmail. You just have to set up an “app” password. I always have to search for how to do that, but once you have an app password you’re off and running.

The Google account is still there, I’ve just hidden each of those calendars. New events seem to default to whichever calendar you used last (citation needed) so once you’ve created an event under the NextCloud account, it should default to that. The app I use (Business Calendar Pro) doesn’t even give the option if a particular calendar is disabled.
As far as DAVx^5^, the default is to only sync every 4 hours. Phone to NC is instant (once DAVx sees the change), but NC to Phone has a delay. However!..
I just set up the ntfy app to create instant two way sync both ways. It’s pretty slick. Dig around in the DAVx^5^ documentation about how that works. You install the DAV Push app on the NC server, ntfy on your phone, enable UnifiedPush in the DAVx settings, do a little dance, and then NC notifies DAVx every time there’s a change.

In a web browser I use the NextCloud one. It’s functionally very similar to Google and I like it a lot.
For our Android phones, my wife uses the Google Calendar app, and I like Business Calendar Pro.
Both apps you just have to go into the settings once DAVx^5^ has done the initial sync and uncheck all of the Google calendars so they aren’t shown, and check the boxes next to the new Calendars.
Exporting and Importing I could only really easily do via the web browser for both.

A couple of days ago, after testing it myself for a few months to make sure I understood how everything works, I made the switch to NextCloud Calendar, and will no longer use Google Calendar.
This is the best part though… I somehow convinced my wife to do the same. She let me install the NextCloud app(optional for Calendar stuff but makes the setup easier) and DAVx^5^ on her phone (both from F-Droid, so DAVx^5^ was free). I exported and imported her calendar, and made sure the notifications were set up to her preferred default.
It’s multiple days later, and she hasn’t complained!
I’ve also moved all of my contacts over to NextCloud, but have yet to coerce my spouse to do the same.

I read below that you activate the 3D terrain using the mountain icon, but I still can’t get it to work with Firefox. I’ve tried the demo site with the same results. Is it maybe some sort of proprietary Google thing?
- Comment on wanderer v0.15.1 - 2 months ago:
Wow, sounds like a big update. Integrations sounds super cool and should really help with the workflow part of things.
Will the Strava integration create new trails every time or is it possible to have it create new entries to the summit book?
Speaking of which, is Summit Book the best name for that function? It took me a while to figure out what that was about.

Without saying who downvoted you (I can see who did because I’m an instance admin), I’m pretty sure that person is gunning for “person who downvotes the most on the fediverse”. They have a lot of hate in their soul.
- Comment on Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History Month 2 months ago:
help.kagi.com/kagi/…/search-sources.html
I tried finding API pricing for Google but it’s probably buried somewhere. They make it sound “free” but with usage limits, which surely Kagi exceeds? Either way, it’s probably on a “per-call” basis, and Google gets a lot less money that way compared to crapping out money driven search results.
“Our unique algorithms down-rank pages with a lot of ads and trackers (which we have found correlate with a decrease in content quality) and promote content from independent, ad-free sources and personal websites.”
I’m sure it’s not perfect, but my experience with Kagi has been very very good. With DuckDuckGo I’d often have to revert to Google to find what I was looking for, but not with Kagi.
I pay for Kagi, so my opinion might be clouded by confirmation bias.

Not YouTube because the ads come from the same “source”, so blocking that DNS would mean blocking the actual video, too. That’s my week understanding of it, at least.
