omg yes bestie I am also trans

I use Rust because I’m gay

My best strategy has been to use Lemmy, and then if I liked a post shared here, I would check if that post came from a site with an RSS feed.

I’ve also been reading posts on bubbles.town and finding lots of fun niche little blogs to subscribe to. Bubbles has its own RSS feeds, too, sharing the highest-voted posts.

Also, more relevant to this community, I’m watching feeds for releases for most of the software I’m running.

OpenCloud might be an option. I plan to give it a try sometime soon, but I haven’t yet, so I have no other useful info about it other than it exists and it’s for file sharing & collaboration.

I’ve been using the Eufy Security ecosystem, which stores video locally, usually on MicroSD cards or a hub device with built-in storage. And there are zero monthly fees. It has a pretty good app for accessing everything remotely. The devices aren’t super cheap but the prices aren’t crazy either, I think they’re good products for the money.

The manual notification works, yep. And it’s using a vibration sensor, which looks to be working. I can see the Automation getting triggered, and the trace says it’s executing the notification step. The notif just never seems to arrive.

Edit: I tested again and it worked. Who knows what it could have been.

I set up crowdsec on all my internet-facing services. Couldn’t seem to get the online dashboard connected but I could at least confirm that it can block requests.

I’m also struggling with a new Home Assistant automation to send a live notification to my phone when my washer and dryer are running. The notification action works when I run it manually, and the automation as a whole gets triggered when the machine is on, and Home Assistant says it activates the notification, but I get nothing on my phone during a real test. Gonna keep fiddling.

I’m not familiar with btrbk specifically, but my backups all send a ping to https://healthchecks.io/ when they start and when they finish. healthchecks.io works by getting a simple curl request, similar to ntfy, but if that request doesn’t happen after a certain amount of time (or if you do a start request and a succeed/fail request and the job is taking too long) then it will notify you. It can use ntfy for notifications, but it can also send emails or use any of a number other services.

I like to think that, at the very least, open-source projects are less likely to contain malware. Only a single person needs to find something alarming and raise it to the community, and it can be immediately verified by others. To me, then, open-source software is more trustworthy than closed-source. Being able to look at the code myself is nice, but I rarely do. I assume that someone trustworthy is looking at the code, but “anyone who understands the code” of an open-source project is a lot bigger group of potentially-trustworthy people than “just the developers” of a closed-source project.

As for the quality of open-source code, it’s nice that open-source projects are generally hosted on platforms where you can submit bug reports. Whether or not someone has the time to devote to fixing it is another issue, given how underfunded many important open-source projects are, but it’s a category above closed-source projects where you’re lucky if you get an email address to send complaints to.

It absolutely isn’t but that doesn’t stop certain idiots from pretending like it is. Same with cis people who don’t like being called “cis” because they want to believe they’re the default and any language that identifies them as otherwise is offensive to them.

It’s called cargo install duh

Your image description says what kind of typewriter you’re using but not the kind of paper!! What kind of paper are you using? Anything fancy?

Codeberg doesn’t have much compute available for CI runners, and asks that you use the runners they do have sparingly. If you’re into the self-hosting thing, you can run the Forgejo runner, which has the same workflow syntax as GitHub Actions, or you can run something like Woodpecker CI, which has its own workflow syntax. I’ve had better luck running Woodpecker myself and I have it running jobs for all my projects as well as a Renovate bot that runs every hour.

When Trump logs into his Lemmy account he’s going to be so owned.

I made some more tweaks to my Renovate bot which runs on a Woodpecker CI instance on my own hardware. Now it merges green PRs automatically. And I have it running every hour so all my software projects stay up-to-date and it responds quickly when I request a rebase.

I’ve also been cleaning up my Home Assistant automations and devices and trying to think up some useful things I can do for myself in an apartment where I can’t replace switches or the thermostat.
