Just found this post but have to add -- I'm stoked this band is from my town and I get to see them end of this month live. So freaking great to see others are hearing them too outside of Denver. My sister, a native american but gone now, wouldn't have dug the music but would have loved the spirit and the words.

And it was the advertisers who complained and won this case. This might still be a win for data privacy, if Apple leaves control over ads in the users' hands.

Yes, that should work, I believe, though I am no expert. I watch YT via Freetube with my VPN on most of the time, and right now too. I use Mozilla VPN if that matters and have it connected to just some other US city, but as always, YMMV.

If only these people could recognize a tyrant when they see one.

Just yesterday I made lemon squares from scratch for the first time and was surprised how the recipe called for 2 tablespoons of lemon zest. So now I'm eating the skin, sort of

Yup, the Lemmy search feature must be broken again. ;)

But that shouldn't stop people giving OP new ideas. :)

Every time this question comes up, I look at my list and realize a few feeds have stopped. So now I'm watching here for some new ideas. TIA y'all.

As of March 29, Version 0.23.3 seems to have fixed things again, if anyone finds this thread now.

My hot take: kids should have to learn computers on a TRS-80 now.

But, copying games onto it from magazines was the way back then. It's how we learned.

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time. But same, same

 

Uh-huh.

 

A new alternative to Uber and Lyft aspires to give workers more income and more say over their working conditions.

Sorry if it's pay walled.

 

Hey. I've got a Rasberry Pi 3 and a Pi Camera 3 set up here, pointed at my front door. I installed the latest Ras Pi OS on the computer and I tested that with the built-in 'raspi-vid' app and it's working now. I want to self-host something so I can access the live video from my phone to see who's knocking on my door.

I don't want to store the video, or do anything else fancy. Just be able to see the video, in a browser, from inside my local network.

I wonder if I could code this up pretty quickly myself, in fact but have no experience with this sort of thing. Is there an app to make this easy or something I could add to the PI to give it a webbish front-end?

Thanks for any ideas

 

And they wonder why we walk with a pegleg....

(And that "watch similar movies" thing can go to hell too)

Jellyfin is great, yes.

I've not read this yet, just passing it along, as it looks really interesting.

I'm not affiliated in any way with this.

ETA: If anyone has read it / bought a copy, a review would be very appreciated.

 

Hello y'all! I have my personal (static) website / blog running on netlify out on the public internet. Netlify, in case you're not familiar, is not a traditional web host, so I can't add databases or anything else like that on the server itself. Right now, that site has zero analytics / visitor tracking and I've decided I want to fix that. I want to know how many people visited my site and which pages they looked at. I am NOT looking to monetize anything though, to be clear.

I want to self-host that analytics service at home, on my home server, but I need two things, please:

  1. Recommendations for which app to use. I've checked out Umami and Plausible and they both look good for my meager purposes. But please - let me know which app makes sense for a personal web site with low-ish traffic. Is there something simpler I could do?

  2. Help getting the reverse proxy set up so my public web site can send analytics data into my home server. I would prefer this to be entirely under my control, so no CloudFlare or Tailscale, for instance. Is Caddy an option? I get really confused really quickly about this level of networking, to be clear, so maybe I just need a really plain-English guide to handling this sort of thing?

Thanks for any / all ideas! Y'all so totally rock!

ETA: A little more info about Netlify and why I can't install or use tools other traditional web hosts might offer.

** SECOND EDIT**: Thanks to @andrew@radiation.party for the goatcounter suggestion, I am trying that out now for the analytics side of this. Getting it set up was easy and free, using their server. (I know, I know...) If I still like the app after the next couple of weeks, I will move it in-house and self-host. That gives me a couple of weeks to figure out my second issue above, how to have my public web site make requests to my self-hosted, behind the firewall/NAT service. Yay, more learning!

 

Lurkers - what's your story?
