This is one of many direct climate consequences of the the failure of the Democratic party to run a compelling candidate and platform. I can only hope that states like Colorado and California can keep doing what they're doing, and that the rest of the world can do enough to mitigate at least some of the added damage our country will do over the next 4 years.

the Bangle.js 2 has all of those features and works with gadgetbridge like the pinetime

Also, just a sidenote, while AlphaFold2 training data is available for download (unsure if AlphaFold3 will follow suit), the OSI recently released its definition for open source AI models, and there is no requirement that the training data needs to also be open for a model to be considered "open source", which is extremely disappointing and will degrade the meaning of open source.

I was very much looking forward to this, and it works great. My instance is back up and running again.

I don't know if DevOps can render them. It certainly can't on my system. I would recommend not using the remote repository WebUI for that feature.

Jupyter notebooks can totally handled by git! If you use GitHub, it will even render them on the WebUI for you.

I'm almost a year in to a job where I was given this task with no admin access on my local windows machine, with a team that had never used an IDE or git before, and with only Google Drive as my allowed cloud tool. When I got here everything was just a bunch of Jupyter notebooks that would get run in Google Collab that were stored haphazardly over a shared Google Drive.

It's been a slog, but Python for Windows, VSCode, Git for Windows, and Poetry can all be installed without admin access, and we got limited access to Azure DevOps. I've taught my team how to use powershell, git, VSCode, and Poetry, and taught them about testing and documentation (this is a slowwww process). We finally got a desktop computer with admin access this week that we can RDP into (that I requested basically right when I started), so we can run scheduled tasks on Windows and hack together some kind of a CI/CD system. We started a wiki on Azure, have most of our stuff documented and in a well organized monorepo, and track our work in boards now.

Now that other teams are starting to see how we're doing things, they want in, too. Thank god these people are wonderful and excited to learn because otherwise this would be very frustrating.

This is extra insane when the exit polls show this is clearly white people fucking everyone over

I use FreshRSS, Read You on Android, and NewsFlash on my PC. It all syncs via FreshRSS seamlessly.

Yeah, I guess I shouldn't have put that in this comment, I was just airing a tangential frustration. It still doesn't help me unless I set up a vps on a whitelisted domain at my work.

I cannot access my homelab from my work network, so I cannot sync via Nextcloud. Syncthing would be better, but they just stopped supporting Android sync, which I need. Proton Drive doesn't sync files on Android. On top of that, I don't want to deal with sync issues because keepass isn't designed for syncing like that. I'm not gonna go back to using Google, Microsoft, or Dropbox just for keepass. I've considered just keeping my db file on a flash drive, but all of the keepass Android apps I tried won't automatically detect that the file exists when I plug in the drive.

If someone has a better way for me to use it, please enlighten me.

Bitwarden is slowly turning their stuff closed-source, and I hope they don't turn to shit, but right now it's what works.

Yeah, I'm talking about not just Nix, but NixOS. Nix (the package manager) can do a lot, but NixOS + disko + home-manager can literally be all of the configuration for your machine from drive partitioning through to dot files. Throw in nixos-anywhere and impermanence and you can have an insane amount of control over all of your computers.

Ansible, Terraform, Chef, etc. do have some overlap, but the main difference is that those tools iterate through the system modifying it piece by piece and NixOS is declarative.

If something fails in some of my bigger Ansible playbooks, it could mean 30 minutes of just running through all the steps again. I could probably break it into sections, but then I have to worry about making sure they all get run when things get updated. In my NixOS install, it's way faster, I can roll back to a previous state, and troubleshooting is way easier in my opinion.

 

I've used sleek as my primary todo.txt UI for a while now, and I'm really happy with it. If you are interested in a simple, but useful way to put together a todo list in plaintext, the todo.txt spec is a great way to handle it, and sleek is by far the nicest GUI I've found.

About a week ago, I ran into a minor annoyance with an edge use-case that I have, and I wrote about it in the sleek github discussion page. Within 4 days, the maintainer of the project had a new build ready that fixed my issue. Nobody else said they needed it, but they took the time to add the feature I requested and now my workflow is that much easier.

I know not every project is like this, or can be like this, but there's no way that something like this would get added at anywhere near this pace in proprietary software. I, for one, am super grateful that software like this and the people that maintain it exist. Thank you.

Please check out sleek!

sleek is an open-source (FOSS) todo manager based on the todo.txt syntax. It's available for Windows, MacOS and Linux

 

It looks like a lot of people want to self-host Lemmy. Would having an ActivityPub relay setup for those instances to subscribe to, instead of them all subscribing individually to the bigger instances be feasible? I've only seen discussions online about relays in regards to Mastodon. Has anyone attempted to set up one for use with Lemmy instances?
