Hey fedi, does anyone have recommendations for a cheap portable solar panel & storage. All I really want to do is to start powering some of my smaller devices through solar because it's cool, and for emergency backup but I don't have the right place for a proper installation. I'd like a jumping off point to look for options.

Honestly it doesn't even need an invertor, DC output would be enough. I'm UK based if that makes a difference.

I want a map app where I can import all my gpx tracks and then ask it to give me a route to where I want to go. Not the shortest route, not the least hilly route, not the calmest route...

but the route that follows my existing tracks the least.

So that I can experience new places I haven't been before.

Does this exist?

Mam problem ze zgrzaniem ogniw 18650 wymienionych w aku do Makity 12v.
Blaszki są z jakiegoś dziwnego stopu i moja zgrzewarka (Fnirsi swm-10) zupełnie sobie z nimi nie radzi. Po prostu nie jest w stanie zgrzać.

Myślałem o "mocniejszej" zgrzewarce, ale do naprawy przyniesiono mi aku Ryobi, gdzie blaszki są jeszcze grubsze i nie wiem jakiego musiałbym mieć kolosa, by sobie z nimi poradzić.

Jak to ugryźć? Macie jakieś patenty?

Myślałem o zrobieniu nowych blaszek do niej, ale ze względu na konstrukcję baterii to by było mocno upierdliwe.

I'm looking for a simple explanation of why, as people are looking to get away from Linux, FreeBSD seems to be getting passed over. I have a vague recollection that someone took issue with someone working on Xorg. Maybe it's echos of the wireguard disaster.

I like the other BSDs, I just wonder why I'm not hearing more about Free. OpenBSD proved a bit wonky on my T450S and I don't have it in me to fight with NetBSD and the wireless.

Thanks in advance for input. Please don't make me regret asking. I'm not looking for low quantity hot takes or shitposts.

So I'd like to track the sleep of my 6-year-old kid, is there anyone out there who can recommend me something? My thoughts/requirements are the following:

• Collected data must absolutely not leave my house, meaning either I have complete control over any involved devices or they don't get network access
• The most important thing is detecting when he is awake (or not), sleep stages (deep, light, REM) would probably be nice to have, but not essential
• Any device that requires a mattress or a bed won't work
• I'd like to avoid proprietary apps, if at all possible. Something compatible with Gadgetbridge would be nice (in case of a wearable etc.).
• So far, I was considering a wearable, but most of the eligible ones seem to be watches and I'm not sure, if a device with a screen is wise. If it can be turned off or something, that would be acceptable, I think. Also, not sure how compatible all these things are with kids' wrists.

I'd be very grateful for pointers or experience by other people! Boost appreciated.

Okay this might be a really weird question but I have one question regarding command-line-only workflows.

I am already used to and very comfortable working in the command line as is.

And as any heavy user of the terminal will know, at some point you'll probably start writing scripts and functions and aliases to create your own little shortcuts for common tasks or preferred program call-up options and such. So do I.

Now my weird little 'problem' is that I don't always remember all of the scripts,  aliases, functions and even programs I built for my workflow over the years off the top of my head.

For example, I might have an "update" alias set up, but nine out of ten times will still enter the command manually out of sheer habit.

Or I will have a calendar or to-do application for the CLI/TUI, but sometimes forget that I have it installed when I need it. Or I'll forget where the files are I set up to organise my journal or my time tracking.

Or going even further, I don't always remember all the neat features of my shell I could use, or the computing/typing habits I wanted to build, or the projects I have going on, and so on!

In a graphical desktop environment or on a mobile UI, you have tools like desktop shortcuts, quickstart icons or application launcher menus for an overview of all of your environment's user-facing programs. Seeing an icon out of the corner of my eye sometimes reminds me of things that a purely reactive user interface like a shell doesn't.

Now there's obviously ways to solve this that come to mind:

• writing a script that prints comprehensive documentation on everything, so I only need to remember that one script name.
• keeping a physical cheat sheet next to my computer.
• using a terminal multiplexer to have a permanent digital 'cheat sheet' or 'launcher' open at the side of the screen.
• trying to just automate these things by using cronjobs/services and shell init scripts to, for example, show me the weather and my to-do list automatically on boot so i don't have to remember these commands at all
• trying to keep a super organised self-documenting file system and harmonious custom dotfile configs so every config is in the same place, every program uses the same keybinds, all scripts are in ~/.bin/ or something etc.
• writing my own "home page" type greeter.

… but with all of these solutions, while they may work perfectly fine, something doesn't feel "right"!

I mean it's nice and good to print these things upon shell start, but later on in the day that won't be there to look at anymore. The multiplexer one is cumbersome. The self documenting file system organisation sounds like a pain to maintain.

I feel like this is an issue that corporate folks probably should have solved by now, as documenting workflows for employee handovers and stuff is critical there too. Do they use wikis for that? What about all those newfangled workflows like #scrum and #agile and all, do they have anything to say about documentation?

Can anyone relate? How do you handle this?

This #ffmpeg command string adds a watermark to the input mp4, but it's clobbering the audio of the input mp4 and I can't figure out why:

ffmpeg -i ./"$vfil" -i ./Watermarks/"$wtr".png -filter_complex "[0:v][1:v]overlay=800:800[outv]" -map [outv] -c:a aac -c:v libx264 -crf 22 ./"$vfil"_marked.mp4

The input mp4 is already encoed with both aac and libx264 formats, but just using -c:a copy and -c:v copy still results in the output file having no audio.

This string preserves the audio, but isn't embedding the png watermark:

ffmpeg -i "$vfil" -i ./Watermarks/"$wtr".png -map 1 -map 0 -c:a copy -c:v copy -disposition:0 attached_pic "$vfil"_marked.mp4

Stepping Up to Self-Hosting

I got into Android at the beginning, with a pre-order of the T-Mobile G1, because I never liked the proprietary-everything ecosystem Apple built with the iPhone. I was geniunely excited about the potential of an open-source mobile OS, even if it was coming from a billionaire-owned tech giant. I rooted my Android phones and flashed custom ROMs to them for years. It was a blast. Then Google and Samsung started closing out that scene, and I lost the excitement that had drawn me in at the beginning. That sense of potential evaporated.

Years later, I found myself drawn back to open-source stuffs when I stumbled into the Fediverse. I love the sense of possiblity that pervades the Fediverse and FOSS projects in general. I've been hopping around for a few years now, trying different instaces running different software, and it's this Fedi project—littleFedi—that made me feel like now is the time for me to try my hand at hosting my own stuff. I know the code isn't ready for me yet, but that's okay because I need time to research self-hosting options. I'm hoping the Fedi can help with some of that.

I'm not a programmer or a techie—perhaps call me an advanced user. From my reading, I feel confident that I could manage a self-hosting from a VPS. Honestly, though, I'd prefer my own hardware at home. The problem is that there are a lot of options, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I thought I'd share what I want from my hardware, at minimum, and see if some helpful Fedizens have suggestions. So here's what I want:

• A Nextcloud instance for file storage. I have hundreds of gigabytes of music, videos, and photos, and I want a place to store all of that in the cloud.
• A chat client. Maybe Nextcloud Talk, but I'm also thinking about a Matrix server. Just haven't read much about self-hosting Matrix yet.
• A Fediverse client. I had been thinking of WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin because I like having the option to write long blog posts as well as short status posts; however, I'm now thinking that I'll run a littleFedi instance once the code is published.
• Email. Because if I'm going to be hosting my own cloud storage, chat, and social media, I might as well take care of my own email as well.

I have limited physical space in my cabin out here in Bumblefuck, so I've been looking at mini PCs. I see that Nextcloud even sells some with Nextcloud preconfigured, but I'm not sure any of those are for me. I prefer Linux, but I'm comfortable with installing Linux on a machine that ships with Windows. (Done that with several of my old laptops.) I'll consider a Mac mini if y'all recommend one, but it's been a decade-plus since I've messed around with macOS.

I won't be making a quick decision here, so as long as this blog is still published without an update, I'm still looking for options and I would still appreciate tips, suggestions, and stories about your own self-hosting adventures.

Be good to yourself, and be good to others 🫶

• require a yearly subscription to use the OS
• use GenAI or the three LLMs in trenchcoat masquerading as "AI" these days
• Allows hotspot tethering
• preferably has apps, but tethering my other wireless portable gear is fine
• edit/addendum: works in US / North America probaby t-mobile or sprint, but open to others.

I know this is quite a list. Perhaps others have more use cases. Bottom line: I want a phone I can rely on and feel safe while making good ethical decisions?

Smart people of fedi, can you help me figure out one weird problem?

I have a paid VPN subscription and noticed that it doesn't work in one of the wifi networks I use from time to time. They offer #OpenVPN as a protocol, and this is the one I always use.

The interesting thing is that the OpenVPN client in my computer does log in and authenticates correctly. Watching the logs, I'm able to confirm that the client exchanges keys and authenticates correctly until the "Initialization sequence complete" message. But beyond this point, no HTTP traffic seem to go through.

Ping works flawlessly, and so does DNS as I'm able to resolve names without problem. SSH, however, doesn't. Could it perhaps be something about the TCP being blocked? I'm ruling out the blocking specific ports here because, as the VPN connection is indeed completed, I assume that all traffic "seen" by the network provider is already encapsulated at that stage. Right?

I'd love to leverage #askfedi for a bit here, because this is thing is really frustrating. Thank you, beautiful Fedi!

I'm aware of most of the obvious options (GH pages, CF pages, GL pages, Vercel, Netlify, etc. etc.) but I'd prefer a small-ish non-VC non-AI company/org, ideally European. Any recommendations? Boosts welcome! #lazyWeb #fediAsk #askFedi

Salut les #cyclistes de #Paris. J'ai acheté une #cadenas en U #Abus pour mon #vélo qui annonçait fièrement qu'avec le système #OneKey je pourrais commander une #chaîne qui s'ouvre avec la même clé, du moment que j'ai le numéro fourni sur une carte avec. Sauf que sur le site d'Abus, ils disent qu'il faut passer par un revendeur, et chez les revendeurs où j'ai demandé, ils n'en ont jamais entendu parlé.
#askFedi Est-ce que vous savez où on peut commander une chaîne pour accrocher son vélo avec la même clé d'un cadenas #OneKeyAbus ?

Looking to put together a kit so I can start doing live-sound for a local dance (normally two or three musicians and one vocalist, occasional larger bands that it would be good to be equipped to do, but isn't strictly necessary up front), they pay $100 for each 2 hour session so I can do partial grocery money if I start doing it once a month or so after I pay off equipment investment.

Who has recommendations for off-brand DI boxes or inline pre's that are actually good (personal experience only please, I've already looked to see what the rest of the internet says)? The obvious choices are the Radial Engineering ProDI or the FetHead/Cloudlifter/McBoost but those are way outside my price range new or used, so I'm hoping I can find something that's 90% as good for half the price (or a really good deal used maybe?). I'll be trying to find used stuff, but I'm using new pricing to compare.

Alternative suggestions for other gear welcome too: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/find/wishlist.jsp/#/24599035/

Seeking advice: at a meeting, a person who uses hearing aids tried to attend but was unable to because 4 of us were wearing opaque masks and she relies on reading lips.

She ended up just leaving and we sent her notes. :/ Wondering what y’all do to include d/Deaf/HoH folks in masked environments. #askFedi #accessibility

The idea for this poll came from a recent conversation with my spouse.

Update below -

I'm looking for a #Linux replacement for #Clipy on #MacOS. It's a clipboard extension and the particular feature I'm after is the ability to save snippets of text that you can recall via keyboard shortcut and navigating your categories to find the snippet you want. Selecting the snippet inserts it where the cursor has focus.

I may be using the wrong search terms, but everything I find is just a clipboard history manager, or just does text expansion - and I can't remember a bunch of text strings to trigger my snippets.

Update: I've had better luck searching and have found three that might work:

• CopyQ
• Snyp
• Clipboard Indicator (Gnome-extension)

A team I'm part of is in need of software that helps farmers track complex processes on their farm. This software is being built with EU grants.

It's a shared desire to make it open source, but which license is best is still unclear. I'm asked to make suggestions, which I can reasonably expect to be followed. My earlier experience here is poisoned by venture capitalists, so I need to reset my baseline.

I'm hoping to read expert opinions on which license is most fitting and why in this particular context.

If you could pick a license for a public good tool made available for farmers, what would it be?

My timeline (which contains a lot of project leaders/sysadmins from big projects) is filling with posts about a new, ongoing wave of what most likely are scrapers collecting training data for „AI“ companies. They seem to be using botnets (or what some call „residential IP proxies“ to make it sound a bit more legitimate) with millions of IP addresses, making it really hard to defend against.

#AskFedi #AskFediverse Because of poor videoconference performance throughout the day at home, I'm looking to replace my Wi-Fi router. The last time I bought one was in 2012 and I went for an Apple Airport Extreme as I had no reason to doubt the Apple ecosystem at the time.

I just want to ensure a strong signal throughout a Brooklyn apartment and maybe have a PiHole somewhere in between the Internet and my home network. Do you have any pointers?

Linux folks, question:

I setup a common directory under `/home` (`/home/common`) with `root:common` ownership and 775 permissions. I'd like the group to be set automatically to `common` whether I write the file or someone else does, so I think using `chmod -R 2775` would achieve that. Is there a way I can similarly automatically set the ownership to `root`? Or do I manually have to do that each time I add new files/directories?

#AskFedi #Linux #Debian #Permissions

An update to this weird situation:

After trying with back in the problematic place, I unplugged everything off the wall and just added the power strip, in which I plugged the monitor and the NUC, and nothing else.

The random memory problems came back again.

I didn't have a lot of time to do further testing (yet), but I can only conclude that either:

- The outlet itself is faulty (or below standards, since the building is sort of old), or
- The power supply for this NUC is of bad quality, and cannot "cope" with even lightly shared power (between two low-voltage appliances)

Sadly, this PSU is sort of nonstandard: 12V 1A output, but with a USB-C connector. This makes it a lot harder to find in a used "trash bin" market. But it might be what's required to make it work, and it's cheaper than replacing a whole computer.

Last test that remains: plugging the computer alone in the wall and seeing how it goes - if this doesn't do it, I guess there's something seriously messed up with the place's power infrastructure!

(re-tagging #AskFedi in case people can't find the original thread)

I am starting to think that my "RAM" problems with one of my NUCs might actually a power issue. Could #askfedi help me diagnose it?

Being a tiny NUC, I simply pocket it and carry it around, much like a laptop, between two places where I connect it to external peripherals.

In one of the locations, the usability is amazing. I get no weird segfaults, nothing breaks and it works (very) well thanks to the lightning-fast #AlpineLinux. And then, when the session is over, I power it down and carry it back to the other one.

On that other location, the experience is a nightmare. A few minutes after bootup, depending on the luck, everything fails on cue. Firefox blows up ("Gah!" errors), segfaults everywhere, and basically is downright useless from such unpredictability. It makes me want to tear my hair out.

And it's the SAME device. And it's not anything to do with the software or network I use (when it segfaults, it does even offline). No problems at all otherwise!

But here's the thing: I noticed this morning that, in the "troubled location," the outlet I usually plug is actually coming out of a super saturated line. It's an extension coming from a big daisy chain mess all plugging back to the same wall outlet, which is feeding only low voltage DC equipment - but still, a lot of it.

So I have a hunch that it might be lack of power that is causing these problems. Like, I'm using the right PSU that came with the device. The voltage is right (lest the thing not boot) but I guess the current is silently underfed, causing these weird errors. I plan to test back at a fresh outlet when I'm back at that place. But could someone tell if this hunch has a valid basis? Thanks!

Hi! Can someone recommend a print/copy/fax shop in the Dublin, Ireland city center? I searched but a lot seem like commercial printing or not super great with regards to data handling.

#Dublin #Ireland #AskFedi

Et il fait ça sans aucune information sur l'état du processus, est-ce qu'il a commencé, est-ce que c'est toujours en cours, est-ce qu'il a fini, est-ce qu'il a rencontré un problème...

La bande passante n'était pas terrible, j'imagine que ça a pu jouer ?
Mais pas sur l'absence d'information sur l'état de l'exportation...

#AskFedi I just plugged in some audio stuff to a computer I got at a yard sale. the dipshit who owned it previously set it up wrong, and they had the audio header plugged into the “intel HD audio bridge” header, which I only found out AFTER it fried the motherboard. it’s an intel DX58SO, does anyone know what part specifically is broken and how to get it going again?

Gonna cast this out to the void once again. Never know what you're gonna get, eh?

I'm looking for a song.

I heard it on C101 FM in Corpus Christi in 1991-1992.

Like.. could you buy a phone from regular retailer and just not sign in/up and use it?

Okay, let me be random for a second.

This being Fedi, I know there will be someone reading this who is a chronically depressed, poly disaster transfem always narrowly avoiding poverty by being a somewhat-but-not-really successful self-employed freelance web developer, who has strong opinions about the modern web, free software, the semantic web and structured data, and who kind-of-but-not-really mourns what XHTML could have been while actually thinking HTML5 as written is kinda neat, but who is constantly forced by Society (tm) to work with React, Wordpress and awful bloated web app frameworks to create terrible, non-semantic style-first web applications for ungrateful clients.

I can't guarantee anything but let's say, I know someone who needs a static website for their business. Hypothetically, uh, where could that someone reach out to you? Paid, of course.

Any advice or consideration to have when looking to buy an external monitor?

I'm looking for something suitable for graphic design/illustration work. And I would rather avoid Apple (even though it's presented as the best choice out there).

If second hand, what should I pay attention to?

#askfedi #monitor #screen #display

I want to get a computer monitor that has a lower minimum brightness so when I need to I can lower it. However, it is very hard to find such information.

Do y'all know where to find trustworthy comparison of minimum brightness of displays?

Thanks a lot 🙏

Hey #AskFedi -- #educators,

I'm ruminating on a topic in #education for an upcoming blog post: communal learning, which I believe is formally called Constructivism.

I'm not trained as an educator (although both of my parents were). I'm just collecting some of my own thoughts about how social structures have helped me learn, as long as some informal written Q&As I did with some #FediFriends.

Does anyone have some pointers that a pretty frazzled ADHD brain can absorb? 😅

Any thoughts, ideas? "This is awesome," or "This is a wholly exploded line of thinking, see this easy 500-page essay I wrote called, 'Why Constructivism is a bag of gas, and other revelations'," anything? 😁

An idea to shame users of corporate social media sites:

Instead of calling them Users, call them Customers.

You know, draw attention to how they are not just passively existing on those sites, but by being on them they are giving money to bad people.

J'ai un souci avec mon nord rack 3 : après un temps de chauffe, le volume devient instable, il change en quasi permanence. Si je touches le bouton de volume général, ça le modifie mais il continue à varier, avec une grande amplitude. Une idée de ce qui pourrait causer ça ?

Update: currently trying out Fastmail with a custom domain (wasn't originally going to do a custom domain, but I went for it 😂)

Hey #FediFam,

Need to create a new email address for professional things, and I don't want to use "Evil, Inc.," nor non-IMAP-supporting (otherwise good) services like Proton and Tuta. (I know they have bridge software available, but still)

What do you guys recommend?

I'm currently using Mailbox.org for my personal email, but I find their web interface has become kind of slow and unwieldy as of late. I don't want full groupware (or some attempt at an emulation of the above), but just a solid IMAP email provider, and a usable web interface when I need to do things beyond what can be done from Thunderbird.

Any #recommendations?

I have done some research but I keep finding mixed reviews on SyncThing — particularly regarding my second use case below. I would appreciate advice before I dedicate time this weekend to set it up.

Use cases:
(0) keep 2-way synchronization for my pictures, notes, & short voice recordings in QuillPad¹ on Android with my laptop.

(1) synchronize of photos & videos from my spouse's & my Android devices and our laptops (e.g., what most ppl do with, say, Google Drive).

Hey #vim wizards,

The number one reason I don't use search more freely when editing is that all the highlights triggers my #CDO a little bit, and :nohl is a little clumsy to type in a hurry.
