I use Yamtrack, it tells me which streaming provider has each show and it alerts me of new episodes. I like it

Floppy seems like a fork with a major expansion of the code base, mostly AI?.

I tried installing floppy. The comment about 420 000 lines of code different from yamtrack, and that it took a long time to load makes me wanna stay with yamtrack for now. we'll see how the two develop over time

For the Play store, the developer provides a compiled version of the program.

For F-droid, the source code must be available online, and F-droid compiles the program, not the developer. This way you can be sure the source code is the actual code used.

Usually the two versions are the same, but sometimes the f-droid version is the play store paid version, but for free.

Reported UFO sightings. Aliens are very interested in the USA

When the first dinosaur bone was discovered, noone had heard about it before and people believed that bones they found before were from some animals

After people knew about dinosaurs they started finding them other places in the world at a rapid pace. Many people thought it was all a hoax

So you know, unless you know about them you don't know what to report. And americans think most about aliens I guess.

That being said, probably there aren't secret aliens around. probably 🫣

reminder to (test your) backup

How do you guys test your backups?

I have restored my proxmox setup from backup and it worked, but that is not something I do on regular basis.

I have from time to time done spot checks that certain files are working.

Most of the time I rely on the verification done by proxmox backup server..

SilverBullet: a self-hosted personal knowledge management system for people with a hacker mindset

Reply in thread

Yes, I have used it for many months. It has been the best solution for my use case for a while. Which is tasks, shopping, planning (trips, ..), recipes, and a simple knowledgebase. It was the offline support that set it apart from some other solutions

I have the files in a syncthing folder, so I can access the files without running silverbullet

My biggest problem is keeping up with all the changes. Zef made some youtube videos that are helpful

Why don't electric car manufacurers put solar panels on the car roofs?

The first generation Hyundai Ioniq 5 had solar roof (at least some models).

The first gen ioniq 5 also had a very low payload capacity, with stories of families who couldn't legally be in the car at the same time without being over the capacity.

The reason, I'm told, is that supporting the solar roof reduced the payload capacity a lot.

Also, solar cells on a car doesn't make much sense like others have already said.
