They do not track/log anything on their VPN servers, at least not according the the audits I’ve heard about.

It doesn’t track with GNSS, I don’t run with my phone.

And all of them are limited or require official app alongside of it. I repeat myself; there are no good open source (or just privacy respecting) HW solutions available.

That’s not HW, I need the bloody HW to do any actual HR tracking. GNSS without HR is not worth much to me. There are no good HW solutions on the market, they either violate privacy or suck on a functional level.

A good, no fuss, simple open source GNSS tracker with HR that is compatible with gadget bridge would go a long way. I just want something like a classic casio digital watch that tracks my runs and forwards the raw data for analysis on my phone or a self hosted service.

Tdarr can distribute compute to other nodes, so you could set it up on your server and have your workstation do the actual transcoding.

GPS is not the technology, it is only the US implementation of the technology which is called GNSS.

The key here being that you actually remember the file exists, because it’s important. Some other random spreadsheet you don’t even remember exists because you haven’t needed it since forever is probably not all that important to backup.

If you loose something without ever realizing you lost it, it was not important so there would be no reason to make a backup.

I recently bought a Brume 2 from Gl.Inet, on sale I think it cost me 60€, it runs openWRT and works really well. It has the added bonus of providing a built-in wireguard server (and also client) so I can easily access my home network from anywhere.

If you can spare 130€ the Brume 3 is now out and quite a bit better.

You’d be surprised. If you have ever ordered, or booked, something online, they will absolutely have something to connect that to and from there they keep pulling.

I meant I don’t give it to companies, because I know that’s why they want it.

If you have given it to a person who has any account anywhere that has anything remotely to do with meta-owned entities, and they did not explicitly say no to sharing contacts info (basically just one person giving FB messenger access to their phone contacts), then meta has your phone number, name and a whole bunch of scarily accurate extrapolated data on you and other sources they correlate that with.

Yep, Western Digital said they were sold out of drives for all of 2026. Since 2026 is just starting, they haven’t actually produced those drives or gotten actual money for them.

This is exceedingly normal procedure for manufacturing companies, and not limited to tech industry by any means. They know how much they can potentially produce on their lines, if they have predicted customers to fulfill the capacity for a full year they are basically sold out despite not having produced most of it yet.

The company I work for also has “sold out” for several of our factories because we have orders for 110% production capacity on them. Orders are not paid up front, they never are in any industry, it’s always paid after delivery usually with a 30-90 days delay (and even more in some cases).

There is nothing spectacularly weird or out of place in the announcement they’ve made, it’s basically standard procedure.

If the uplink bandwidth is more than sufficient for users in Europe, and it doesn’t degrade over distance, then why is the same uplink not enough for the exact same thing in Asia?

When I try to point it army server, I’m prompted with a page saying it’s only possible in the paid tier

Apparently only for appletv, for iOS there are no issues.

You thinking I’m a jerk doesn’t change the fact that the appletv app is a burning pile of dog crap. My opinion is that they should actively work on it, the lacking quality and functionality is just fact.

Are you this shitty to people who submit pull requests to your dog-shit bug-ridden open-source software repos? Do you even have anything that’s open-source that tries to solve a problem?

Of course, obviously I am the only infallible person in the universe…scrub

Dude no one is forcing them to work on the project, they can just ditch it if they don’t want to do it anymore. Just because it’s free people are still allowed to voice opinions on the project, sure my comment is tongue in cheek, no one cares…welcome to the internet, is this your first day?

Yeah it doesn’t work with your own media server on the free tier, so they can go fuck themselves.

My server works fine with all other clients though, except the appletv one. In the appletv app I cannot change audio language or reliably change subs. Or, technically I can, it just doesn’t select the language I actually choose, it chooses some random one. This only happens on appletv app, it works as intended on all other devices, both android, iOS, browsers and MS/Linux clients.
