GNOME 45's Nautilus File Manager Gets a Modern Full-Height Sidebar Layout by curioushom in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] curioushom@lemmy.one 19 points 1 year ago

Clearly the dark mode is the modern one! Jokes aside, I just realized that there THREE menu options on that toolbar: hamburger, kebab, and waffle! I realize they do different things, but no wonder people are confused by and scared of computers. Also, now I'm hungry!

RISC-V Is Now An Official Debian Architecture by curioushom in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] curioushom@lemmy.one 31 points 1 year ago

It's still a good thing. It's an open specification, so anyone creating a design that is compliant can use software targeted at RISC-V. Just like you can buy USB-C flash drive from any manufacturer and use it with any OS that supports USB mass storage!

Have I gone overboard? by curioushom in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[-] curioushom@lemmy.one 10 points 1 year ago

I would recommend Tailscale for connecting to the home network. You could run it on each box if running it on the router is wonky.

How do you backup things to your server? by curioushom in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[-] curioushom@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

I would recommend looking into Syncthing. I use it on all my devices and share specific folders between devices (notes mostly) and all folders back to the server. The server then backs all that up offsite as well.

But there is already a community, why not join that community? why create another one? by curioushom in c/unixporn@lemmy.world

Steamed iced espresso with lemon and honey (lemmy.one)

I was making some steamed iced Americanos (Aerocano) last summer and really enjoyed that. I also enjoy the citros (nitro cold brew with a bit of lemonade) and find them very refreshing! So I decided to combine both and made this.

Simple syrup made with honey, fresh squeezed lemon juice, a double espresso, steamed with crushed ice, and served over a giant ice cube. Dialing in the recipe but it's a delicious refreshing summer drink.

As Twitter flounders, Mastodon refreshes its official app for Android users by curioushom in c/android@lemmy.world

[-] curioushom@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago

Like the other user said following tags is a great way to engage with things you choose. Along the way, you'll find people that you find interesting and then you can follow them directly. It's much less about seeking people and more letting them come to you.

Antennapod is a Free Open Source Software (FOSS) podcast app. The app is well designed with great features. You can also use it for playing audio books locally as well.

Work around: upgrade to 0.0.35 and avoid crashing (lemmy.one)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by curioushom@lemmy.one to c/jerboa@lemmy.ml

28 comments fedilink

I've been seeing a lot of posts about people being stuck between server (lemmy 0.18) and client (Jerboa 0.0.33—35) versions (not installed from IzzyOnDroid and logged in) with Jerboa crashing. Here's a way to avoid that issue while still being able to log in and browse both Lemmy 0.18 or older instances.

Add IzzyOnDroid repo to F-Droid
Delete app data from Android app info (edit)
Uninstall current version of Jerboa
Install 0.0.33 IzzyOnDroid version of Jerboa
Set phone to Airplane mode
Open Jerboa and use the hamburger menu to add your account
Fill in server, username, and password
Turn off Airplane mode
Login

You'll get a old server version notification of your server hasn't updated but you'll be able to use Jerboa regardless of server version.

Hope this helps!

Online privacy for free? by curioushom in c/privacyguides@lemmy.one

[-] curioushom@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

I understand why others are taking issue on your asking for free services. Maybe it could have been phrased better but not everyone has the life circumstances to pay for privacy respecting services, that's why I do like the freemium/donation models so those who are able can subsidize those who can't. Hopefully when circumstances improve more people can "pay it forward".

Here are my recommendations:

Mail / Calendar / VPN / Drive: Proton free tier - 1GB shared storage and 1 VPN connection
Chat / Messaging: Signal
Community / Discord alternative: Matrix

Interview with a Postdoc, Junior Python Developer by curioushom in c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml

"all the compiled languages are worse because you get errors before you can even run them" got a good chuckle out of me!

1950s Bendix Central Air Data Computer used in fighter planes (oldbytes.space)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by curioushom@lemmy.one to c/retrotechnology@lemmy.ca

Fighter planes in the 1950s used the Bendix Central Air Data Computer to determine air speed, mach number, altitude and so forth from pressure. It is electromechanical, using gears and synchros for its computations. Amazingly, it is modular and can be easily disassembled.

We separated the top layer from the rest for testing. The "interface" between the layers is two gears and an electrical connection. The electronic servo amplifier blocks come off too.

Here's a possibility for the sub icon by curioushom in c/woodworking@lemmy.ca

[-] curioushom@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago

Here's my submission for the sub icon. It's not rotated when I took the photo, but jerboa/lemmy is doing weird things.

The backwards compatibility achieved by clever "simple mechanics" is very cool!

Ko-fi hype? No liberapay? (lemmy.one)

I just chipped in for lemmy.one and that got me thinking that I've seen a lot more of Ko-fi.com popping up instead of Patreon. Is it because of fees or an one time tip jar feature?

I'm also curious as to why more folks don't use https://liberapay.com/ especially the more federated/FOSS minded folks.

Just trying to learn what's hot and what's not and what the creators/devs prefer and why.
