Maybe they were inspired by Boeing to skip the QA checkups on some of those systems 😉

I’ll try to keep this to lesser known apps:

• Catima (saves barcodes for gift cards, gym memberships, etc so you don’t have to worry about the physical card)

• Cofi (nice timer for active guidance through coffee brewing recipes)

• 10,000 Sentences (a language practicing app that doesn’t have a mildly threatening owl 😉)

• OSMAnd+ Mapillary, Overlay Maps, and 3D Features (seriously, the best. I only use Google maps to get around traffic these days since, unfortunately, Magic Earth doesn’t work very well in my area)

• Obtanium (as a gateway to lesser known software, no shipping to an app store required!)

• RethinkDNS (an absolutely amazing piece of software that gives you fine-grained control of the domains your apps are talking to. A bit of a battery sync but it’s been a game changer for me. On my GrapheneOS setup I use it in the Google sandbox to reduce the amount of data scraping servers my Google apps can talk to)

This is a bit of a Pokemon starter question. Just pick one and see where it takes you! They do roughly the same job, especially now that docker has a rootless mode. At the end of the day you’re learning a new technology and that’s a positive thing.

Is mayonnaise an instrument?

The same light but in it’s particle era

Genuine question – how does it “use” that water? Isn’t it primarily utilized for plain old water cooling, where in mind it just evaporates at worst?

What are we going to do, build high speed rail!? A technology so advanced that China alone has enough track in active operation to traverse the US over 13 times as of three years ago? I dunno, seems like a gamble

My process for project identification has been:

1. Be annoyed at ads/payment structure/whatever in some app or service
2. Search https://alternativeto.net/ for alternatives to the thing I’m annoyed with (filtering by Open Source and my devices)
3. Try out 1-2 of the top alternatives
4. Settle on what service I want to run
5. Install, route the subdomain, etc. if necessary (otherwise just access via my tailnet)

As for how to deploy, docker / podman are great! With podman I’d recommend looking into their systemd integrations too. Incus is a neat LXC option too, meant more for longer term services (less micro service focused, good and bad).

Hope this helps!

Oh man that’s good stuff

You can still do that if you really want to

I’m sure the teacher of the high school debate team you’re on would be very proud ❤️

ooh getting aggressive now are we?

I owe nothing to you. Enjoy your time being a sad person trying to bring others down on the internet :) I hope this little outlet makes you feel better

Sure, buy an inverter and burn up 10% of your energy in the conversion if you’re lucky. That inverter will cost roughly as much as the contents of a standard fridge + freezer, by the way :)

At that point just buy a well insulated cooler and always have some ice on hand. It’ll last much longer.

Congratulations, this is the worst attempt at ridicule I’ve ever seen

Now I don’t know enough about electronics to know how wrong this is

Very, assuming the refrigerator in question typically runs on a typical power grid you’d find in the US or Europe (source: am electrical engineer)

Mainly because most compressors I’m aware of use alternating current (AC) motors, or at a minimum accept AC power. Batteries alone produce direct current (DC). The simplest way to make this work would involve an inverter (converts DC to AC). Cheap ones probably have at least a 10% conversion loss, so you’re looking at an hour or two at most.

Edit: should also mention that discharging a typical lead-acid battery until it’s all the way flat (realistically below ~11V) does irreparable damage. Might be cheaper to replace the contents of your fridge :)
