This issue is, the default dashboard is done per client, not per user (I think they’re changing this, or have done very recently??)

So if you:

• clear cookies
• reinstall the app
• clear app data
• change your instance’s ip/domain
• set up a new device

then it will revert to the stock “overview” dashboard.

Of course, how often this happens depends on how often you do any of those things so for some it’s not an issue, while for others it’s a frequent annoyance

I did a keto diet for a bit back in the summer. It worked very well for me and I lost 10kg in about 7 weeks. The diet made me feel full for a long time so I was also on one meal a day and not snacking. It’s not something I think I could keep up long term, the variety in what you can eat isn’t enough for me, although since coming off the diet, I haven’t put any of the weight back on so my metabolism must have changed somehow as a result.

Not saying it’s for everyone, but I was surprised how well it worked for me.

Thanks for the recommendation, it certainly seems like an interesting project, although it’s current capabilities are almost backwards from what I actually want. My current workflow is:

• Listen to my library in Navidrome via Feishin/Tempus
• Scrobble my listens to ListenBrainz
• ListenBrainz generates my weekly recommendations playlist (things not in my library)
• I listen to the playlist on the ListenBrainz site via YouTube embeds
• Any songs I like, I download high quality FLAC files of using slskd by buying legitimately

Just being able to see my recommended songs in Tempus would remove some of the barrier of having to log in to ListenBrainz every week (which I often push to the bottom of my to-do list and end up missing recommendations). I don’t even really need to stream them directly in the app, just being able to see them and open the YouTube link would be a good start.

I get that this might be a bit of a niche way of doing things and everyone will have a slightly different idea though, I don’t really expect my exact personal workflow to be catered for by open source devs.

Windows 11’s UI is fine.

I have so many issues with Windows: the privacy invasion, the ads, the upselling of MS’s services, the need for an online Microsoft account, that I haven’t used Windows in over 2 years. But I see so many people saying it has an ugly UI - it’s UI is literally fine, I would have no problems using it if a Linux DE happened to come up with that design before Microsoft did.

It might be a bit out of scope (at least for now) but something I’d love to see eventually is the ability to pull down weekly recommendations from ListenBrainz and view them natively in-app. Even if they just linked to the YouTube video, it would make self hosting music feel like it had the last remaining benefits of streaming services.

£12-ish a year on mailbox.org

I made the switch about 6 months ago and I’m very happy with them

It supports HDMI CEC so I just use the remote that came with my TV

It’s a little bulkier than a Chromecast but for my TV at home I use a Raspberry Pi 5 with Konstakang’s Android TV LineageOS images installed. It works pretty well and I could see it being fairly portable.

Thank you for your work on this! I switched from Tempo to Tempus after seeing one of these updates a few weeks ago. It’s great to this is being maintained!

If you use Zigbee2MQTT in Home Assistant, you actually can update the firmware on Hue devices, obviously it’s up to you if you actually want to push the update though

My guess would be something to do with intermediary application systems used by multiple companies tracking who applies where. Who knows what they’re doing with that data

Wish I could opt out of having LinkedIn entirely. It makes me so annoyed that so many jobs require you to have it in order to apply

It might be too late for you, but for anyone else who stumbles across this:

The easiest way to transfer emails is just log into a client like Thunderbird, let it download them all, select all, then drag and drop them all to your new provider. If you have a lot of historic emails, filter by year and do one year at a time

• Continually increasing subscription prices
• Ripping off artists
• Introducing AI bullshit
• Blocking explicit songs unless users verify their age with a third party

I scrobble all my navidrome activity to listenbrainz, which gives a weekly playlist of recommendations. You might have to wait a few weeks before it can establish your tastes depending on how much music you play.

Go into Settings > User Tags and enable the “track votes” option

Technically it kind of already is. My username is the one I’ve used with little variation for 13 years, including my youtube and my website where I show my face. Everyone I know IRL knows my username, some of my friends even call me Spatchy and it would feel weird if that particular group didn’t (to the point I occasionally have to remind them it’s not my real name).

I’m still weirdly obsessed with not sharing my data with companies even though more of it is public than is probably sensible.

I use Thunderbird on both desktop (Linux) and mobile (Android). I currently have five accounts in a unified inbox:

• Gmail (2 accounts): ‘professional’ one I give to people and the other one for generic account signups - currently migrating away from both of these.

• Mailbox.org: the replacement for both my gmail accounts as mailbox.org allows aliases. They are completely EU based and don’t sell your data. Costs a small fee of €15 a year.

• Zoho: for my own domain which is public and attached to my various projects as a developer contact address

• Microsoft 365 🤢: Had to add this one literally today because I’m going back to uni in September. Hate that they use microsoft, but thankfully the uni enabled IMAP/SMTP instead of only allowing Microsoft’s proprietary OWA protocol.

As for general usage, I treat my inbox like a to-do list. Once I’ve completed all tasks relating to an email, it gets deleted if it’s not important or archived (usually if it’s anything to do with money like a receipt or invoice). I usually only have at most 3-4 emails in my inbox at once.

The only thing that annoys me about Thunderbird is that occasionally if I delete a message, it will leave a blank ‘ghost’ message where the old one used to be that has a date of 01/01/1970 which only goes away when the program is restarted.

Japan also has 2 incompatible power grids, with the north running on 50Hz and the south running on 60Hz

Does this mean they’ll finally be adding calls to the web version?
