May Day demonstrations in US and around the globe protest Trump agenda in c/[email protected]

Where are people getting news in advance of these protests happening? I feel like I keep finding out afterwards. I would like to attend! I mean I have stopped using most social media but even my friends/family that haven't don't seem to know either

I know a bunch of people in Ohio, is there a link to share the ballot initiative with them yet? I'm sure they'd love to sign

Had to agree with your first half, but your comment about Bobby from the Expanse would make a great unpopular opinion post!

Why can't milk tanks have baffles?

EDIT: I looked it up it's because the baffles add complexity to cleaning for food grade reasons. So it's not because they can't, but rather because logistics companies won't due to increased cost.

I just wish I could bike to work. Not really feasible for me to bike 50km each way. Can't afford to move closer either

Do you think law enforcement should use encryption on their radios (for security purposes)? Or should they not be allowed to encrypt their communications (for transparency purposes)? Why? in c/[email protected]

It's Time to Jailbreak Your Kindle. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

I just did this the other day too. Like other commentors have stated: it doesn't fully de-Amazon your kindle unfortunately. Still great, but one thing that bugged me for example was that even after jailbreaking I couldn't set custom screensavers without paying the $20 to turn off "special offers" mode.

Self-Hosted Beeper Alternative (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I'm currently using Beeper to conglomerate the plethora of chat services that my friends and family use: WhatsApp, FB Messenger, RCS/SMS, and Discord. I use Signal separately because I read that Beeper needs to decrypt incoming messages before reencrypting and routing, so I felt adding a bridge for Signal defeated the purpose of using Signal.

I've also read that Beeper is essentially just Matrix with a bunch of bridges, so I looked into self-hosting Matrix and standing up those bridges myself. I would feel comfortable integrating Signal into a self-hosted instance where I control and can encrypt the middleware.

What would you all recommend as a viable, self-hosted alternative to replace Beeper? I've been trying to set up Matrix but running into a lot of headache with no simple way to self-host it. Yes, I've tried the Ansible set up and I get countless issues. I've heard an XMPP server might be a better solution as it is more lightweight and battle-tested? How do XMPP gateways compare to Matrix bridges, and would they cover all my needs?

Anyone know of a good Android client for music on jellyfin? I'm currently using finamp but would like a client that works with Android Auto and can sort/filter playlists

Laptop for Linux (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Hey all.

I've booted Linux Mint Debian Edition and Arch on to a couple old machines including my old laptops. The performance is still rather brutal because these machines are so old and their battery lives are rough. They are also bulky and uncomfortable to carry around.

So, I've been thinking about getting a more modern laptop and putting Linux on it but I've been out of the laptop market for so long now I have no idea what's good and what's not anymore. Any recommendations?

I think I've heard decent things about Chromebooks but how's the hardware of those? Are they relatively locked down and don't play nice with Linux? I'm just looking for a machine for daily use (browser, light coding, remote connecting to my desktop for heavier stuff)

Thanks in advance
