  Full rewrites do happen. The first commit of PiKVM is a copy of my repo. I was referenced there for a long time before eventually being removed, and I’m pretty sure by then my code had been fully rewritten.

  Though I did find it funny when LTT covered them and said they complained about a copycat who wasn’t giving them credit 😆

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Endurain is a self-hosted fitness tracking service designed to give users full control over their data and hosting environment⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  So for those wondering on comparisons to other FOSS options:

  Fittrackee (github.com/SamR1/FitTrackee): Very similar, but Endurain also seems to track weight vs just activity.

  Wanderer (github.com/Flomp/wanderer): Also similar, but has social sharing and geared more towards trail recording like Alltrails. Also does not have weight tracking.

  I switched to Reader Mode. So annoying.

  That page was made for Firefox’s Reader Mode. Sheash.

  Perfect, thanks. Jail broke mine for Koreader years ago, bit have never tried Android.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CVE fallout: The splintering of the standard vulnerability tracking system has begun⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Distributed hosting isn’t really a problem here, its distributed funding for the staff.

  What process did you use?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China scientists develop flash memory 10,000× faster than current tech⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “Normal person” is a modifier of server. It does not state any expectation of every normal person having a server. Instead, it sets expectation that they are talking about servers owned by normal people. I have a server. I am norm… crap.

  Figured as much, but I wasn’t sure if thre nvme flash was of higher quality with potential benefits like what SLC brings. Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unpowered SSD endurance investigation finds severe data loss and performance issues⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Does nvme have this issue, too?

  Hah, I was trying Zoom yesterday and thought it was my PiHope causing DNS issues. Nope.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK if you browse Lemmy on desktop, the Lemmy Universal Link Switcher script makes browsing between instances significantly less annoying⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Love this feature in Thunder. Just hit share and you get a lot of options you can open in the browser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK if you browse Lemmy on desktop, the Lemmy Universal Link Switcher script makes browsing between instances significantly less annoying⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a bad idea. Hear me out:

  You click on a link to lemmy.world to a post that has hundreds of comments. Instead, you get redirected to my.instance where this community is not federated. The post is immediately federated and loads, and you see the post on your home instance.

  But no comments. No future comments, nothing.

  A better method would be to have just “action” links go to your home instance. I.E. up vote, comment, save, etc.

  This was great. I was already aware of 90% of it (because I’m a nerd), but looking at his other videos I think I’ve found a new channel to watch while on the bike trainer. The pacing, plain descriptions, etc, are super easy to follow even when slightly distracted. Thanks!

  Sounds like you should contribute to Fossify, the successor of Simple Mobile Tools.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You need a factor for niche communities. A post with 4 comments in a backpacking community with 20 subscribers is way “gooder” than 40 comments in a 5k subscriber news community.

  I.E. add a community size factor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's used more as a Drinking License than a Drivers License.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s funny because my partner came up with this, and she is British with the similar drinking rules to Germany (we are in US now).

  Once you have a driver’s license or permit, do you use some other form of ID to check age for drinking in Germany?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In US. Grew up woth family speakibg itallian when I was young.

  What yoy are saying just isn’t true. People want it to be, but it isn’t. If you go from your house to someone else’s, it is the same, maybe lunch is different. If you go from a British house to a French one, so much is different, exponentially moreso. That doesn’t even take into account the surrounding infrastructure.

  The cold hard truth is that everyone who is actually Itallian is laughing at you for thinking otherwise.

  They have different purposes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Big GIMP fan. That being said, Adobe needs to start promoting some of their actually good stuff, like their investment in the open C2PA spec for proving content authenticity, vs constant AI crap that is the exact opposite.

  What do you mean public voting? Everything in the Fediverse is public. Spin up a server and you can see all votes, even in the UI as an admin. Do you mean for users?

  Not with sub domains.
