I usually tell me that I’ll be happy to have already done that thing later in the day whereas I will curse my earlier self if I still haven’t done it.

Sometimes it even works. Usually for small stuff like emptying the dish washer at least.

You can use a gps logging app (I use gps logger on android) to create gps tracks and sync them with your photos via the timestamp. Digikam has a tool for that built in, not sure what other software supports it.

This way I don’t have to manually tag every photo but instead only those where the gps failed because I was underground or where I forgot to turn it on

Been a while since I touched the 3DS moddiny scene. What exactly is the hShop?

There’s also websites that for some reason only request a username/e-mail and then send you a one time login code, requiring me to open my e-mail program instead of having a one click login with my password manager…

Obviously destroying books is the perfect job for me as it brings me closer to my german ancestors

I believe the back to home VPN from MikroTik is also wireguard. At least it is on mine. No idea if you can use a different VPN solution with it.

The last time I upgraded my phone was only because my grandmother wanted a newer one and told me to upgrade so she could get my old one

The Fractal Design Define R cases can house a lot of hard drives, but they are kind of big. My Define R6 can theoretically house 11 3.5" drives iirc in addition to 4x 2.5" but it does not come with that many drive sleds out of the box. For the 2.5" drives only 2 sleds are included. I think for the 3.5" it was about 6.

Honestly, I’m really happy with the ability to just try out stuff with docker and then nuke the entire compose stack if it does not work. I also know perfectly where any possible leftovers from the attempt are (the bind mounts or volumes) and can be certain I deleted everything I “installed”.

Although I have to admit that I absolutely had some issues with containers in the past, mainly when there are two or more containers with dependencies on one another.

Never used k8s or the cloud so I have nothing to comment on that ;D

Making it a hassle to circumvent the roadblocks can help make the undesired behavior less attractive to you in the moment or stop unconscious behavior.

For example, I sometimes open lemmy just with my muscle memory when I’m bored without even thinking about it, even though I know I’ve scrolled through pretty much all the current content I get in my feed already.

Moving the app icon around stops me from opening lemmy without actively thinking about it and therefore adds a (admittedly small) barrier to my bad behavior.

Adding a long and complex password that I would have to enter manually, as someone in the comments recommend, would probably make me rethink my actions even more. Do I really want to get out the password and be annoyed by having to type it out just to do this?

That’s a good argument. I wasn’t aware of the history of OpenWRT. For software I generally used the MIT license in the past, though I am now shying away from it given that it seems a bit too permissive in my opinion. I should probably research the GPL licenses a bit to figure out if one of those suits my needs.

Yes, that is unfortunately true. Better some protection than none at all though

I have designed a couple of things and whenever I publish them I make them CC BY-NC-SA. I don’t think I have designed anything people would be interested in selling but I explicitly do not want people to mass produce and sell my stuff. There’s already more than enough plastic in the world and the popularity of 3D printers and the amount of gimmicky models I have seen are not helping that issue

Depending on what router you use, setting up a VPN connection into your own home network may be the simplest solution and possibly also the most secure.

In germany at least, FritzBox seems to be the dominant router and they offer a very simple VPN setup which utilizes their own domain to initiate a connection.

I personally use a MikroTik router at home (still not sure if that was the best idea…) and they have a similar thing called Back To Home VPN. The Fritzbox gave me less trouble setting up though.

For phone <-> PC I use localsend. If I do PC to PC, possibly even large amounts of files or large files in general I put them on a network drive specifically intended for that purpose

I am aware of the compose key, I was just never a fan of it. I have it set up to replicate my previous autohotkey script on my laptop but I found that in some rare cases, pressing the next key for a word I am typing would change the letter from what I intended to something else.

Using the compose key like ‘compose + " a’ also feels unintuitive to me and introduces one more key for me to press, though I could likely get used to it with some effort.

I also use wayland on both my laptop and desktop.

The only issue I have is the lack of some utility which I can use to type my german umlauts using macros. On windows I had an autohotkey script so that alt + a would become ä and so on.

I’ve tried a couple programs that work on wayland, but without success in getting them to work how I wanted. The last time I checked there were a couple promising candidates left that are explicitly not working on Wayland though.

I used to be on plex for similar reasons.

Remote login is still a hassle of course. I work around it with a VPN but that causes issues sometimes.

Plex Amp went great for a while for me until it suddenly didn’t. The app got incredibly laggy on my phone when I was playing playlists of a 1000 songs or more. I switched to navidrome + Symfonium as an alternative and set up remote access with a cloudflare tunnel.

I like to think I got my money out of mine as well, even though I only used it for like a year or two before switching to jellyfin.

I’m not that well informed on the specifics of the topic but I would say that AI has a lot of potential to do good in medical applications. I believe there was quite a bit of research into detecting various forms of cancer earlier and more reliably by using neural networks.
