Caveat emptor buying music from Qobuz, always try bandcamp first.

Up until recently there used to be these special batteries you could put in your fire/smoke/CO alarm that would contact you on your smartphone if the alarms went off while you were away.

They don't make them anymore, and if you want anything equivalent, it seems like you have to buy into an entire "smart home control system" or whatever they're called, and I don't need or want that.

It doesn't have to be a battery, but is there some way I can set up my alarms to contact me without surrendering all my privacy? The alarms I have now also aren't hard-wired into the house, which could present a problem, but that's why the Roost batteries were so nice!

Was just about to post this before @yogthos@lemmy.ml beat me to the punch. 🙂👍

Why are so many projects still on Microsoft-owned github? They should follow OM's lead.

Asking because USPS's frequently doesn't work.

SearXNG does, I think...any others? Looking around for other engines that aren't US-based, though I guess DDG is still considered acceptable for LibreWolf's default engine. Bangs are incredibly useful!

I was able to change the new tab favicon on LibreWolf with CSS:

/newtab favicon/ .tab-icon-image[src="chrome://branding/content/icon32.png"] { content: url("librewolf-NO8X71.png") !important; }

But I'd also like to be able to change the logo that appears on the "about:logo" page (looks like lemmy.world's CSS page is locked for now, so I'm asking here). Anyone know how to do this?

I kiped the logo from LibreWolf's reddit page, it's by u/NO8X71; tell me it's not the coolest thing you've ever seen! Wish I'd done it.

Signal has a "Note to Self" option which basically lets you send texts to yourself for reminders, etc. Is there a way to do this with any of the various Matrix clients, and if so how?

I have some low quality scans of book pages, saved as a PDF, that I would like to enhance. Since they're text only, and the text is kind of faint, I think that using the erode filter on each page would probably work pretty well (it has in the past). The problem is, it would be nice to be able to use the erode filter on all the pages at once and not have to do each one individually.

When you open a single PDF page in GIMP, AFAICT, it imports it as an image file rather than a PDF, but I don't know what type of image. I installed BIMP to see if I could do a batch erode that way, but it wasn't able to do it. Is GIMP the way to go here, or would something like ImageMagick (which I know very little about) be better for this?

There's no mobile version, use Ironfox instead; they're both FF-based so you can sync between them.

Why why why don't they just do like Wikipedia or the Internet Archive does and just come out and ask for donations instead of trying to sneak all this advertising shit into things?

EDIT: Another idea, which I'm sure they'll never consider, is to host actual @thunderbird.net email addresses which could be paid for. People at this very minute are looking for Proton Mail replacements, and this could be one of them . . .

As a Linux person, I, too, am somewhat tired of being treated like a second-class user. Having no Linux client for Drive is a real pain.

Putin's (very) useful idiot is now in the process of completing his work destroying the US federal government. Hope state governments can pick up the slack, because they'll have to.

EDIT: And, surprise! Red states are more dependent on federal funding than blue states are.

Hopefully he'll end up in the same circle of hell as Kyrsten Sinema (if I remember my Dante correctly, this means that Satan himself will be nibbling on their heads for all eternity alongside Judas, Brutus, and Cassius).

Do you need to go back? What exactly are you going back from? Is it not serving your needs? There are plenty of alternatives to Google services; I'd be happy to provide some suggestions, if you'd like, having been through this ever since The Snowden Affair.
