Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Anyone tried Syncthing Tray on Android?English
4·11 months agoWould it be possible to run Syncthing in Termux?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Does anybody else feel like Linkwarden is very resource intensive.English
1·1 year agoI use Linkding too, it’s very light and it’s great, I only wish it had the exclude tag filter and no tag filter. That would make it perfect.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Switching from iOS to GrapheneOS, thoughts after 2 weeks
30·2 years agoOne trick for a better fingerprint recognition is to set 2+ fingers but scan only one finger for all of them.
This may or may not also increase the likelihood of someone else succesfully unlocking your phone with their own fingerprint.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•FOSS document scanning app for Android?
12·2 years agoI can find it on Droidify no problem and after reading your comment, I also tried on F-droid app and I can see it there as well. Maybe you don’t have it configured properly.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Signal Is More Than Encrypted Messaging. Under Meredith Whittaker, It’s Out to Prove Surveillance Capitalism Wrong
2·2 years agoThe app (locally, on your device) checks if someone from your contact list installed (became available) on Signal, and if they did, you get notified by the app.
And it shares your phone number with everyone in your contacts who has Signal installed.
Someone can get notified only if they already have you in their contact list (so they already have your phone number), and have Signal installed.
I still wish you could choose if you want others to be notified tho…

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Is there a bookmark manager that works like KeePass?
3·2 years agoI was looking for a bookmark app that can sync via Syncthing too, but I had no luck finding such an app.
I think I will end up using markdown editor (notes app), specifically Markor, because it allows appending links to a file (note) through the share menu. It’s using .md files which you can easily sync via Syncthing, and then open the file on desktop with some markdown editor like Joplin.
On desktop you would have to manually copy and paste the link into the file though.It’s probably possible to streamline that process more, but if you don’t save a lot of links it’s ok, I guess.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Findroid v0.15.0 is now available for updateEnglish
2·2 years agoYeah, and I am questioning, why is that the case. Because client apps are not doing the transcoding, server is.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Findroid v0.15.0 is now available for updateEnglish
11·2 years agoIt’s a really nice app, I like the fact that it uses mpv, but you cannot pick the stream quality in this app? I always avoid re-encoding (picking different stream quality from jellyfin) but I noticed that it’s missing in Findroid.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Do you have any recommendations for an opensource mood tracking app?
51·2 years agoHonestly, you can just use the habit tracking app.
Loop Habits Tracker is a good one.
You just create a measurable habit and use 1-10 scale for your mood tracking.- It does have the option for notes but no tags unfortunately.
- You can add entries retrospectively.
- It has nice data visualization and you can export data.
- Since it’s a habit tracker it’s pretty private. You can name your mood tracker (habit) however you want, nobody can even tell it’s a mood tracker.
I was just reading this issue on Github last night and I really don’t see how PeerTube is any better than a traditional server for hosting videos. The peer part of it seems to have such a miniscule impact on the whole thing that it just feels like a gimmick. I’ve read that the biggest problem for PeerTube instance hosts is storage and not the bandwidth. The only thing that peers can save you is tiny bit of bandwidth from what I understand.
So from what I’ve gathered, relying on peers only for hosting the video is completely unviable. And that makes sense, especially for old, unpopular videos, there will be no peers to begin with. Even if every video on the site is being “seeded” by viewers, the reliability of connection and bandwidth would be very bad because you can’t know if the peer is some guy on the dial up connection. Even in the perfect scenario where everyone had very reliable connection and good bandwidth, the fact that browsers don’t support p2p protocol and rely on a hack/workaround to use it, will mean that there will be delays. So starting the video and rewinding would be painfully slow.
Is there something that I’m missing, or is PeerTube really not that much better than a “normal” video hosting server?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is anyone else having trouble with DuckDNS today?English
4·3 years agoIt works for me.
There is this site which has detailed status report, but to be honest I don’t really know how to interpret all of that haha.There is currently some error though:

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Floorp Browser: One of the best fork of firefox in customization
2·3 years agoI did try Otter in the past when I was looking for the Opera replacement, never really liked it. It seems like it’s pretty dead…last update was 2 years ago. And speed was never really my priority for the browser anyways. I’m not really looking to replace my browser, I’m happy with Vivaldi, I just like to check what else is there. I was happy to see that there is a browser based on gecko that seems to be going in the similar direction as Vivaldi.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Floorp Browser: One of the best fork of firefox in customization
31·3 years agoMidori seems pretty shady. I remember it as a super minimalistic browser, but now it seems like they are straight up taking someone elses work and just changing the name and sponsor links within. I tried it and it seems like 1:1 copy of floorp.

4·3 years agoOh my bad then. That was just the impression I got based on posts in floorp subreddit.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Floorp Browser: One of the best fork of firefox in customization
311·3 years agoI just learned about it yesterday. Seems like Vivaldi but on gecko, which I always wanted to see.
Unfortunately it seems like it’s maintained by only one overworked dev. It needs more funding and more devs.

How viable would that be? Can it also just run in the background like the actual app?
