Custom Roms like Graphene, Calyx are the answer. And there are quite a few finance apps thag do work, look it up for the ones you actually need before switching.

Compared to the Pixel / Pixel Pro, the Performance difference is pretty much nil because they’re all on the same SoC.

Not really a drop-in replacement for video meetings. For that, Jitsi would be more sensible.

I don’t take nudes often, but when I do, I put some effort into it. Proper lighting, proper posing, interesting scene composition.
Also, I generally agree that if there aren’t any nudes of you, it’s often a good idea to not start making them (because society sucks, not because nudes are inherently a problem), but knowing that nude pictures of you are available online already is pretty freeing in that regard.
I don’t know what exactly my point is, except for that you might need to date people with higher nudes standards.

Hey, that was made at my former uni. And now I’m wondering whether other unis adopted it. It always seemed like a neat solution.

- Comment on Plex got hacked. 1 month ago:
It makes them less worthwhile. But we can definitely agree that jellyfin’s security issues are also bad, and should be fixed.
- Comment on Plex got hacked. 1 month ago:
On the one hand, maybe. On the other hand, the point here was more that the centralised design of Plex that necessitates an online account which might hold some private data makes such issues much worse, not that jellyfin’s issued should not be fixed.
- Comment on Plex got hacked. 1 month ago:
Maybe? Like, I’d very much prefer they fix them, even though they do not impact my use case. Still, they don’t.
- Comment on DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles 1 month ago:
I have a server on AM4 that is running fine, but the 16Gigs of ram are getting tight and I might need 32. All other aspects of the system are completely sufficient. Why should I get a new CPU and board?
- Comment on Plex got hacked. 1 month ago:
Yeah, but you can run jellyfin with local accounts, entirely within a VPN. Pretty much makes most security issues irrelevant.
- Comment on Intel details everything that could go wrong with US taking a 10% stake 2 months ago:
Probably applies to most used Laptops right now. Also, I have some thinkpad nostalgia, but the similar skus from other manufacturers will also do, though they put course have the same problem.
Generally, you of course always need to research the specific hardware. Also, my current one is on 8th gen, still does the job for now.
- Comment on Intel details everything that could go wrong with US taking a 10% stake 2 months ago:
I’d buy a macbook, but it’s a lot more expensive than my “throw Linux on a used corporate thinkpad” approach, and I can tolerate macOS, but don’t love it. If you’re in the market for a new premium laptop, I think they’re pretty established, and I do think people are buying them.
Ampere workstations are cool, but in a price range where most customers are probably corporate, and they’ll mostly buy what they know works. I think their offerings are mostly niche for engineers who do dev work with stuff that will run on arm servers.
I’d say non-corporate arm adoption will grow when there’s more affordable new and used options from mainstream manufacturers. Most people won’t go for an expensive niche option, and probably don’t care about architecture. Most Apple machines probably sell because they’re Apple machines, not because of the chip inside.
I don’t know exact numbers, but I do feel that arm server adoption isn’t going to badly, especially with new web servers.

They also own Politico and Insider/Business Insider. Feel like too few people are aware of that.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Using a Pixel 8a with a Tensor G3, a chip that’s regularly called a bit underpowered. My phone before that had a Snapdragon 765G, another pretty midrange SoC. I couldn’t name a single app that isn’t running perfectly fluently. I dunno what apps you are using, but as far as I can see, there just isn’t any relevant difference in daily usage between current mid-range and flagship SoCs.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Why though? Unless you’re really into mobile gaming, I don’t see any difference in day to usage compared to more mid-range SoCs.

The forked the matrix foundation owned projects for synapse, dendrite, and element, and pulled all their devs, changing the license and bringing them under closer control. The foundation repos are now archived, and only the new vector owned ones are being actively developed. They sell an enterprise license for their element server suite that, at least according to their copy, seems more performant, and also offers admin tools that the free version lacks.
If you want to run a public instance that allows registration, you pretty much need some kind of external admin tool for moderation.
It’s of course still better than pretty much all proprietary options, but also quite some room for improvement.

Take this with a grain of salt, I don’t have it deployed right now, but if u remember the current state correctly, one on one calls are a thing, group calls aren’t.

I saw 6 bands during 2 concerts last week, three of them kinda rock/blues, three of them metal. All of them drank water from normal water bottles while on stage. No one cared.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
What I don’t like about Matrix is that it’s most visible homeserver and client implementations feel like they are being developed as a product by New Vector Ltd., not a community project.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
The lack of group voice calls is what mainly kept me from adopting that. Hope they get that working soon.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
Yeah. I an hosting a homeserver for my ttrpg groups, but it doesn’t have any federation enwbled at all, and sign ups are invite-only.
The amount of work needed to moderate a public instance, especially with the lacking tools available, seems crazy. Also, I don’t love it that New Vector has an implementation for an admin console, that seems to be available exclusively for paying subscribers to the enterprise version of their element server suite.
- Comment on Error 1033 Cloudflare 3 months ago:
I’m in Germany, and it works pretty fine. They’ve got several datacenters around here, never had an issue with speed or latency.
I don’t like that they got that evil megacorp vibe, but what big Internet firm doesn’t?
- Comment on Error 1033 Cloudflare 3 months ago:
Interesting. As I said, I never tried yunohost. I usually work with podman, and just assign local ports to pods, then route traffic to those ports internally, which seems to work fine.
Anyway, I feel like we won’t be solving OPs issue here. Still, interesting to see some of the problems people with different setups have to deal with.
- Comment on Error 1033 Cloudflare 3 months ago:
Yeah, I feel like we’re missing some info here.
I have to admit that I have no experience with yuno. Always seemed interesting, but not like something that fits into my work flow.
If they’re self-hosting at home (which I’m also doing for some services), I’d presume they’re probably running their stuff on a single machine, so I’m not sure where their router would come Into it. The data the cloudflare tunnel process receives should look the same to the router no matter the port it is ultimately sent to, and when it is sent to an address internal to the machine, shouldn’t pass through the router again.

- Comment on Error 1033 Cloudflare 3 months ago:
I presume they mean pointing their cloudflare tunnel to direct lemmy.example.com to localhost/:[port], and I don’t think there’s any special rules about that port from cloudflares site.
I use tunnels and ports in about that range for all my sites, and don’t have any problems.
