I’m using authelia for a while now. never had any issues. at some point i was looking into kanidm as more rounded up solution, but i never got around to rest it.

nice belly

but using Cancer emoji… very professional.

why would it have access to my fingerprint?

the app doesn’t have access to any of my phones data now. it runs in an isolated environment once every two weeks for about a minute, otherwise I’m only using their web API. so they might ban me, but yeah, it’s not that i would care much ;)

yeah, Whatsapp really stinks in this regard. i have it in an isolated environment on my phone (called shelter), where it is frozen most of the time. you need to switch it on once every two weeks, and the bridge will tell you when.

at some point I’ll dump it on a phone which is just in a drawer at home, together with all the other BS apps.

i tried waydroid as alternative, but somehow didn’t really make it work (didn’t put much effort into it though)

so, I’m self hosting for many years, with many many tools that i tried out and a couple that stuck.

not sure if this counts as weird, but I guess the most fitting example is the following:

i have a matrix server, which basically only a few relatives use to communicate with me, but I make heavy use of the bridges, so i don’t need to run those shit apps like Whatsapp on my phone.

anyway, i really dislike voice messages, because most of the time i read messages at the computer or in the tram and i don’t want to get headphones out, or simply don’t want to listen to five minutes of car noise to get the information off the words. so when my next productive episode comes I’m planning to set up a matrix bot that sends those audio files to some stt engine and returns a transcript to the chat. I’ll set up the bridge to ignore this bot, so the whatsnot user doesn’t get spammed.

for this my wife and i use grocy. we don’t really use the stock feature (which is probably the original main feature), bit is nice to do shipping lists by just clicking stuff that you already wrote and the shopping mode of the app is awesome. also the chores feature we use heavily, i just needed to tweak the ics export a bit.

consumer grade vs Enterprise grade. the letter are meant to run non-stop and are often just discarded due to upgrade, not due to problems.

ok, as i said I’m unfamiliar with this topic, so I’m happy about some inside.

how do you proof that you open sourced something before somebody patented it? i mean a parent is registered at some authority. is it sufficient to refer to your, e.g., GitHub history?

I’m not an expert in those legal fingerprints, but i can imagine that you might need a parent even if you want to open source it, simply so nobody else can patent it. on the other hand, in right now to lazy/sleepy to read the article, so don’t mind me :)

and then rinse and repeat, until i get bored ^^

networking plays a big roll in such things. the more connections you have, the more possibilities. in my job that is normal as well ( not for donations, but it’s important to get a job)

that makes me want to set up a DO account just so i can delete it!

thanks for the clarification

maybe you can look into beeper. haven’t used it, but as i understand it’s a matrix server with all sort of bridges. I use the deposited version which works fine (at least as much as whatsnot allows it)

edit: just saw that somebody already wrote details about mautrix, which would be the self hosted solution.

compared to brick houses, or compared to cardboard houses? anyway… every time there is a new technology, it is terrible. just remember when the first digital cameras or the first flat screen monitors came.

the online shop version is not really available anyway so far, as far as i can figure out. but i understand that you should be able to directly deal with it via your bank. so your bank would be the professor, and that you anyway need :)

let’s see what the future holds, I’m sorry that it won’t help you now

did you check out wero? didn’t read into it myself yet much, but as i understood it should do this at some point. just not sure when.

the problem here is the control with tv remote, but afair there is an Firefox again that can fix this
