  Oh I didnt see the downvotes😅

  Hm, to explain my reasoning:

  • I saw them talking about stuff that seemed complex to me and seem to have some experience with servers (already had a server), so I’d say they know way more about me and I’m going to set up a nixos server in like a month (been using them on my laptop for ~9months, but not in any fancy way). If I can, they I guess they probably can too.

  • I thought about throwing an idea to consider. I’m too in the process of learning so I cant give a good plan yet:/

  I see that in the end they ask for a nuanced answer, rip, I failed to do that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker or Proxmox? Something else entirely?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe you could try nixos?

  Just wanna say (the obvious) that this is not normal at all. I’m from greece and we have protests like every other week or so over various places

  It is really wild and dystopian to arrest people for protesting for palestine, what is going on over there…?

  In Greece, last year, a woman asked the police to accompany her to her house because she was suspecting her ex was following her and was gonna hurt her and they told her “the patrol car is not a taxi”.

  Soon after she was stabbed to death by her ex…

  Police can’t really be trusted. It is also likely that they might turn on the victim.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Decibel meter app?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yo, you’re kind of on the correct path. I think though it probably wont work for you if you dont have a sound amplitute tool already (I know, counter intuitive).

  Step1: for this to work, you need to be in a room where you have a device producing a sound of a certain loudness, use a sound loudness measuring tool and then put that value in the calibration field. By pressing calibrate it will calculate the offset, how far off the current reading of the app is from the actual value, and then it will try to take this into account when measuring sounds (and display the proper values).

  Step2: Here you’d put the offset if you already knew it (if you had done step1 in the past for example). Since you haven’t, you’d have to do step1 instead of step2.

  Step3: yes

  Step4: yes

  Step5: I’d do both probably. Export data either as csv (comma separated values file) or as excel file and I’d also export a screenshot of the graph.

  To conclude, you need a sound measuring tool, a constant sound source (like a phone playing a specific frequency at a certain volume) and a somewhat quiet place to avoid any interference. If you know anyone who could lend you their sound measuring tool to do a calibration it could help. Otherwise, there are cheap sound meters (maybe some Uni-T ones?).

  PS. Even if the readings are correct though, I dont know if they could be considered as evidence, you’d might have to check that first.

  How about Phyphox? Open-source, on fdroid:)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, how about mindustry (its open source and free outside of steam)? It’s like factorio with tower defense. Note: after playing for few hours you might get access to many more stuff in game which might feel overwhelming

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New To Android? What Apps to Choose?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I too was using fdroid for a long time, but I think there was a bug (possibly fixed now) that didnt seem to delete installed apks and I had to manually delete the app cache or data I think.

  I found droidify and looks much better (unless you like fdroid’s ui), so I stayed with it. I have it as ~my main app store too:)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New To Android? What Apps to Choose?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I think fdroid is more strict about the apps they include and I think they might do some extra tests (hence why fdroid apps have different signature from git repos of the apps).

  Please search it yourself, I don’t remember much to help you.

  Here’s izzy’s site: apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/info

  PS. You might see Izzy in various github app repos talking with developers asking to import their apps to the izzy repo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New To Android? What Apps to Choose?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What I do is I have droidify (fdroid client) with fdroid, izzyonandroid and few more repos enabled and I browse the list frequently. If I find something cool I might keep it. I try to avoid anything from google play in general.

  If I want something specific (apart from searchijg online), I mighr just search the term I want on droidify, install a few apps, try them and keep the one I like.

  Hm I see, I have sync to keep my history and bookmarks synced across devices (also helps easily share urls among devices)😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the rest have explained it better, but I use a Mozilla account and I kinda trusted them, not so much anymore. I dont know if I’m a minority, I found this feature very useful.

  I will probably keep using firefox until it goes too bad for my taste and switch to a fork and self-host a sync server

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨please punish me⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Though if you see what the poster generally posts (they tend to post very frequently), their memes almost always lean on misogyny when they involve a woman. Just do a quick view of their recent posts (like this one from 3 days ago).

  I dont think they try to promote healthy relationships between men and women. I think their posts tend to be vaguely misogynistic, just enough vague so that they dont raise many eyebrows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are some Lemmy instances down or is my phone broken?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You could try opening lemmy.ml from your browser (not through your lemmy.ca account) to see if there’s an issue:)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are some Lemmy instances down or is my phone broken?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hm, just tried, it opens lemmy.ml too (btw, check if you accidentally blocked the instance😄)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are some Lemmy instances down or is my phone broken?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can open lemmy.world instance (I’m from mander.xyz) if that matters🤷

  Probably a connection issue (or a lemmy.ca issue)
