Is Meta coming to Fediverse?

Reply in thread

What will happen is Meta will give someone a giant teddy bear just like they do at the State Fair. Then everyone rushes to try and win the giant teddy bear but can never seem to win the ring toss no matter how much they click.

Proton Pass is now available

Reply in thread

Just wish KeepassXC supported Bitwarden export. Tried that earlier this week and it was no good. So staying on Bitwarden. I did install Proton Pass and tried it out. It is not as intrusive as Bitwarden on Android for permissions. Staying on Bitwarden for now . . . I hate passwords . . .

Success getting rid of moles?

Moles eat grubs. Get rid of the grubs you get rid of the moles. Safe to use product is Milky Spore. It is pretty pricey but it works extremely well. I was looking for a safe option before making a garden. Had enough to use for the whole lawn and when it was hatching time for Japanese beetles, my yard had only a few and the neighbor had zillions buzzing around.

It's that time of the week...

Most store bought coffee is stale. Whole bean roasted coffee has the same shelf life as bananas before exhibiting off flavors. As someone that goes through a pound a week I was buying from specialty roasters that roast to order like Counter Culture. Green beans store better and I can buy high grade beans for $6/lb. Behmor paid for itself in a few months.

1Password: Rolling out telemetry this summer

Reply in thread

I have gone back and forth on KeePassXC and Bitwarden. I usually do a yearly reset of all my passwords and that is when i do the switch. I'm fine with Bitwarden but permissions to make it easy on Android phone seems excessive. You guys are prompting me to reexamine.

Anyone try self-hosting VaultWarden?

Music migration from Plex to Jellyfin

I don't know about the ratings. I just imported the music and went. What I found is making playlist public across users sucked so I used Strawberry to make the playlists and had Jellyfin discover those playlists too. I tried Navidome but it was not great either. When it comes to self hosting music it is painful. Everyone focuses on Movies and TV.

Anyway, after some work I am happy with Jellyfin.

So, what do you think about Lemmy/kbin so far?

I feel like it is heading in the right direction. It is great that users control the feed instead of corporate interests.

I think in general users feel giddy and hopeful like when starting a BBS in pre-internet days and birth of the consumer internet. Possibilities bring hope. Let's hope it continues.

I myself stood up lemmy instance to try things out and feel the same giddy feeling.
