The autofill popup has always been unreliable for me on Android (with Bitwarden)

I use the quick settings tile most of the time instead

A few people have recommended doing a visuospatial activity, such as playing tetris, to help reduce trauma related intrusive memories from the incident

A single dose psychological intervention, which includes using the computer game Tetris, can prevent the unpleasant, intrusive memories that develop in some people after suffering a traumatic event.

What can you do

I haven't seen an official call for donations yet, but I've compiled some comments / links.

Blood donation eligibility information: https://www.blood.ca/en/blood/am-i-eligible-donate-blood

What types might be in need:

Filipinos blood type distribution is 86% O-positive, and 8% A-positive, so if you are type O and A consider donating. Oak street location is open pretty much every day

I think it's a mix of the two. There are legitimate reasons, and commercial reasons

Synology does not manufacture its own hard drives but instead certifies and rebrands drives from Toshiba and Seagate, leaving out only Western Digital among the world's largest manufacturers.

They're disabling features

Synology, maker of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, will seemingly remove advanced features from its Plus devices that are not using hard drives provided by, or certified by, Synology itself, starting with its 2025 lineup.

What you might lose from using non-Synology-approved hard drives could include pool creation and support for any issues. De-duplication, lifespan analysis, and automatic HDD firmware updates could also disappear on non-approved drives, Synology's press release suggests.

Synology's telegraphed moves toward a contained ecosystem and seemingly vertical integration are certain to rankle some of its biggest fans, who likely enjoy doing their own system building, shopping, and assembly for the perfect amount of storage. "Pro-sumers," homelab enthusiasts, and those with just a lot of stuff to store at home, or in a small business, previously had a good reason to buy one Synology device every so many years, then stick into them whatever drives they happened to have or acquired at their desired prices. Synology's stated needs for efficient support of drive arrays may be more defensible at the enterprise level, but as it gets closer to the home level, it suggests a different kind of optimization.

While it's still somewhat of a blackbox, some definitions of "open source AI" are better than others

The OSI one is decent

The user you are talking to is on lemmy.ca, which is a Canadian instance.

Also I think the post is talking about hiding the data to begin with. There are already some tracking tools out there that look at the existing data. If the data isn't accessible to you, then it's not accessible to the AI either. Nothing for anyone to look at

Although I'm not familiar with flight details to know what exactly is being hidden, or if there are workarounds

Some brainstorming from me:

  • Ideally people do not buy more teslas
  • An initial goal would be to use the vehicle without it phoning home. Would the TeslaMate project be sufficient for that?
  • Long term, would it be possible to replace the software running on the car's console? Or would it be better to tear out the console and replace it with something else?

Alternatively, what would a recycling/conversion program look like?

 

I saw this article earlier:

Tesla 'going bankrupt' is endpoint of protests, says local organizer

In the spirit of right to repair, self-hosting, giving a second life to old devices, and limiting data collection by car companies:

  • What are some considerations?
  • Are there any projects worth keeping an eye on?

An example that came to mind was Valetudo, which is a cloud replacement for vacuum robots enabling local-only operation. Some robot vacuums are easy to install this on, and others require more invasive modifications.

What I've found so far:

  • FreedomEV, a project that was presented at FOSSDEM 2019 but doesn't have recent activity
  • TeslaMate, which is a popular and active selfhosted data logger for Teslas, but not necessarily a replacement for the software

Gmail's search and filters have been annoying for some time now. This feels like an overpowered bandaid to that problem

I should have specified, people we're downvoting you

But looks like the score is positive again 🙂

I've heard Kobo is better than the other big players when it comes to interoperability with open formats / self hosted setups.

As for the servers

The main one

A popular newer one

Also (to everyone else reading your comment) let's not downvote good faith comments, especially when they're phrased as a question and wanting to learn more

Oh interesting, I didn't know that was a thing

Quoting from: https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/1bapfkl

The armv8 architecture which the DS218 uses is supported by Container Manager, Synology just put a hardcoded config into the official package to exclude certain models from installing it:

exclude_model="synology_rtd1296_ds118 synology_rtd1296_ds218 synology_rtd1296_ds218play synology_rtd1296_ds418 synology_rtd1296_ds418j synology_armada37xx_ds119j synology_rtd1296_rs819"

Pretty sure the https://github.com/007revad/ContainerManager_for_all_armv8 linked above just removes the hardcoded exclusion and doesn't need to change anything else to get it to work.

If that workaround looks shady, you might be better off just installing docker directly

 

I commented this in another thread, but thought that it could do with its own post.

It's a solid list to go off of if you want to pick a few to host. The link has more info on each, as well as which ones are non-profit / for-profit

Overview

Have some space computing power and want to donate it to a good cause? How about 10+ good causes at once?

♻️ put an under-utilized system to good use
🚲 use as much or as little CPU/RAM/DISK as you want
✨ 100% more soul warming than mining
📈 geek out over your CPU/disk/bandwidth stats on the leaderboards

This is a collection of containers that all contribute to public-good projects:

  • networks: Tor, i2p
  • computing: boinc, foldingathome
  • archiving: archivewarrior, zimfarm, kiwix, archivebox, pywb
  • storage: ipfs, storj, sia, transmission

This v1 list was started by the ArchiveBox project, but it's open to contributions.
