All the ones I’ve used require a separate service to actually do the query.
You can use traccar, owntracks, or wanderer (this one is not realtime tho, and requires for you to find an app to send the data).
There’s also gpslogger which can record everything locally (or send it to any URL you set), but you need another app or service to be able to query it properly.

My unpopular opinion is I like ads, some are well thought, funny, and memorable.
Ads in videogames which allow you to have a small boost are also amazing, I don’t have to spend money, just leave my phone for 30~60 seconds and I get a bit of premium currency while supporting the devs.

The annoying/worrisome part is all the tracking the ads have, and the ones which are very invasive which take half of the screen.
If we could go back to TV ads where everyone watches the ads without individual targeting, and with current technology to protect against hacking, and getting them in sensible places to not hide the content I would place and exception in my ublock and pihole for them.

Ah, then no, the last thing I knew about it you can’t migrate accounts from one server to another, which is what you’re trying to do here.
As I mentioned if you were able to move the keys which identify your account it would be easy for someone to impersonate you.
Also, your public keys are shared among all the instances you’ve interacted, so this might break your interactions there.

Do you still have the old database? You should be able to move your instance around as long as you have a dump of your DB, that’s where all the keys of each community and user in your instance are. Those are the ones telling other instances you’re actually you, if you loose those I don’t know what can be done so other instances flush your old content and treat you as a new account. But I would count on thi s being a feature since it could lead to people impersonating someone else if they get a hold of the domain without the DB.

EDIT: amm, maybe I didn’t understand correctly, are you trying to move to a new domain? Or to a new server with the same domain?
What’s re-home?

Yeah, I just searched a bit and found this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28348678/what-exactly-is-the-info-hash-in-a-torrent-file

The torrent file contains the hashes of each piece and the hash of the information about the files with the hashes of the pieces, so they have complete validation of the content and amount of files being received.
I wonder if the clients only validate when receiving or also when sending the data, this way maybe the seeding can be stopped if the file has been corrupted instead of relaying on the tracker or other clients to distrust someone that made a mistake like the OP of that post.

How torrents validate the files being served?

Recently I read a post where OP said they were transcoding torrents in place and still seeding them, so their question was if this was possible since the files were actually not the same anymore.
A comment said yes, the torrent was being seeded with the new files and they were “poisoning” the torrent.

So, how this can be prevented if torrents were implemented as a CDN?
An in general, how is this possible? I thought torrents could only use the original files, maybe with a hash, and prevent any other data being sent.

I also like local only with a similar set up as yours, rsync to and HDD and to an SSD.
But I also would recommend you to follow that suggestion, you need to have an external backup managed by someone else (encrypted, of course) so you can have options if anything happens to everything in your local.
It’s up to you how much you’re willing to pay to be sure to be able to retrieve your data.

I’m using iDrive e2, it says it has a limited offer, but it’s been there for over a year.

Im basically paying $1.25 for 2TB per month (it’s charged at once for 24 months) https://www.idrive.com/s3-storage-e2/pricing

Since it’ll be for you and not the project, why not go for a .dev or .me TLD?
I think .dev is usually used for “in development” projects, but I can also see it as “about a developer” (and that’s why I bought mine)

Found that also myself trying to do the same thing haha. I did the same process as OP, gparted took 2.5 hours in my 1TB HDD to create a new partition, then copying the data from old to new partition was painfully slow, so I went to copy it to another dive and into the new partition.
Afterwards I deleted the old partition and grew the new one, which took a bit more than 1.5 hours.

If I had the space I would have copied all the data out of the drive, formatted it and then copied back into. It would have been quicker.

I’m just annoyed by the regions issues, you’ll get pretty biased results depending in what region you select.
If you try to search for something specific to a region with other selected you’ll find sometime empty results, which shows you won’t get relevant results about a search if you don’t properly select the region.

Probably this is more obvious with non technical searches, for example my default region is canada-en and if I try “instituto nacional electoral” I only get a wiki page, an international site and some other random sites with no news, only when I change the region I get the official page ine.mx and news. For me this means kagi hides results from other regions instead of just boosting the selected region’s ones.

It’s regarding appropriate handling of user information.
I’m not sure it includes PII. Basically it’s a ticketing system.
The pointers I got are: the software is secure and reliable to store the data and be able to be queried to understand the updates the data had.

Yesterday I started looking for mini pcs and found this post https://www.reddit.com/r/MiniPCs/comments/1afzkt5/2024_general_mini_pc_guide_usa/

They shared this link which contains data on 2.8k machines, it helped me compare some of the options I was looking for and find new ones.

Sadly it doesn’t contain data bout the ThinkPad, but I might as well share in case you’re willing to consider other brands.

Edit: Oh, wait, I was thinking about a ThinkCentre, not a ThinkPad :P
Well, I’ll leave this around in case someone finds it useful, hehe.

It’s just a matter of time until all your messages on Discord, Twitter etc. are scraped, fed into a model and sold back to you

As if it didn’t happen already

You can use GPSLogger to record it in local or send it to whatever service you want.
If you’re into selfhosting you can use traccar which is focused into fleet management so it’s easy to get reports on the trips made.

As for your second point, I wouldn’t trust the GPS for this, it can say you weren’t moving since it only checks every so often to record the data, or maybe it says you actually were speeding because the two points it used to calculate the data weren’t the actual points you were at that time.
A dashcam would be better suited for this. I’m not sure how they work, but most probably they can be connected to read data from your car which would be more trust worthy to whoever might decide if you were actually speeding.

I’ve been using traccar (https://github.com/traccar/traccar).
It’s mostly for fleet management, but I’ve been using it as a replacement for Google maps timeline.
Its android apps ara basic but haven’t had any problems with them.

Or if you find a service which doesn’t provide a client you can use this app https://github.com/mendhak/gpslogger
It allows you to send the gps data to different services with their specific formats at the same time. I was using it to send the data to traccar while also saving it in a local file.

I got annoyed at not finding CC for the media I have dubbed, so if the show/movie is originally in English and I have it in Spanish, the Spanish subtitles are not from the Spanish audio, but translations of the English audio, so they don’t usually match.
(which Tom Scott recently made a video about this issue https://youtu.be/pU9sHwNKc2c)

I found and been using this project https://github.com/jhj0517/Whisper-WebUI
It’s been pretty good, for youtube videos (10-30 minutes) has been perfect.
But there are some issues when I tried it with movies, the timings are not great, and sometimes it hallucinates some words in parts where there aren’t any. Just a few words are actually wrong/missing. (I tried it with fastwhisper since I don’t have that much ram)

IIRC most stuff can be done with vanilla JS in any modern browser.
Although, I’ve been doing little front-end work, and mostly for personal projects, nothing fancy nor production ready, so someone might have another opinion about using jQuery.

I recently switched to ubuntu in a gaming laptop, right now I’ve been using it just for jellyfin and some other coding tasks, but it definitely runs smoother, more stable, quicker, and cooler than windows did for the same workload.
I was surprised at the difference of even just having the machine idle, on windows it was noticeable warm, now on ubuntu it’s almost as if it has been turned off.

I don’t like the idea of security by obscurity, seems like a lazy way of trying to protect a resource.

You can host your own instance to share your opinions.
Still don’t expect other instances for allowing content they don’t want to be federated with, so you might have where to say something but it might not reach everyone.
