Okay, there’s one thing I don’t get with Bluesky: user handles usually are @[name].bsky.social. But with the bridge they end with brid.gy. The account of Ben Stiller is @benstiller.redhour.com. Are those domains different instances? I thought that’s not possible (yet?). How does one get a different domain in the handle?

You are right! Brain fart on my side with Schildburg… Schilda is correct!

In German we call that a “Schildbürgerstreich”. Yeah, no kidding, we have a word especially for things like that.

It refers to a foolish or absurd act, often involving a misunderstanding or misapplication of logic, typically in a humorous context - especially around buildings. The term comes from the “Schildbürger” tales, which depict the antics of the supposedly foolish citizens of the fictional town of Schildburg.

Edit: the fictional town was called Schila - thanks to diplomjodler3 for pointing it out!

They could also buy a used Pixel to avoid giving money to Google. I suspect that’s the reason for the no-Google-rule.

Never heard if him ¯\(ツ)/¯

They used to but stopped AFAIK. I am not completely sure but that’s what I read when the Mozilla Foundation report came out. The other reply said to India so maybe my information is not completely accurate…

Mozilla Foundation did a deep dive into this. And the results where abysmal. The only brands not completely horrifying where Renault/Dacia because they are European and only serve the European market so they have to follow GDPR.

I used it. It was a nice idea but at least for me it got really weird over time. The pics I got were mostly blurred messes. Maybe it was an error on my side but it kind of spoiled the fun after a while.

Not in the app but here are two tools for migration by Emotet and elvith.

https://stablenarwhal.github.io/Lemmy-Userdata-Migration/

Features:

• Export user data from any Lemmy instance (>=v0.19)
• Download user data as a text file
• Modify user data, e.g. to add or remove followed users/communites (Example in Wiki)
  • “display_name” ​
  • “bio” ​
  • “avatar” ​
  • “banner” ​
  • “matrix_id” ​
  • “bot_account” ​
  • “settings” ​
  • “followed_communities” ​
  • “saved_posts” ​
  • “saved_comments” ​
  • “blocked_communities” ​
  • “blocked_users” ​
  • “blocked_instances”
• Transfer user data to the target account on the target instance

https://elvith-de.github.io/lemmy-migration/

Features:

• Login and export settings from any Lemmy instance (e.g. feddit.de)
• Optionally: Find local communities on the target instance that match followed communities
• Optionally: Backup your settings to a file (can be imported on any Lemmy instance in your profile)
• Login and import settings to any Lemmy instance (e.g. feddit.org)

Yeah, you’re right. I didn’t see the date.

Thank you! I didn’t know the details. A recent article I read (about the hate the dev of the bridge received) only mentioned Mastodon.

And bluesky?

Unpopular opinion maybe but it is / will be a federated platform (whether we like it or not) and there even is a bridge to Mastodon, I think.

Ich würde niemals 400 für ein Auto ausgeben. Mir sind 400 für zwei schon fast zu viel, aber mit dem Deal kann ich ganz gut leben.

Ist alles inklusive bzw zählt als “Kaufbatterie”. Außerdem gibt es etliche Jahre Garantie auf die Batterie (7?), also viel mehr als die Leasing-Dauer.

Wir haben zwei Renault Zoe. Beide 2-Jahres-Wagen, sind aber wie neu. Leasing ohne Anzahlung je 200/Monat. Zum Kauf wären sie je für ca. 15k zu haben gewesen (wir leasen aktuell, da es günstiger als der Wertverfall ist und wir 100% verbrennerlos erst mal testen wollen.)

Ist sicher nicht für jeden was, wir sind aber super glücklich damit.

On Android you could use Detox Droid on F-Droid.

It was in fact the mum who was good with computers. Bobby himself was never that interested in exploits.

The App “Nine - Mail & Calendar” used to be quite good for Exchange. I used it years ago and was quite happy. Currently it has only 3.5 stars on the Play Store so I don’t know how good it still is.

Back when I used it I checked it for privacy and considered it save. No idea about the current status though. It is not FOSS.

Just external - I know it’s not the best solution. My setup grew on a tight budget over the last 10 years and for me it was the easiest, most affordable, and extendable/replaceable way. I don’t need super fast drives in my home and I don’t need backups for most of the data stored on a media server. So it kind of is just a bunch of disks with a NUC.

The internal drive for the system is an SSD though. Came with the computer.

I have a very similar setup like you. A NUC is providing NAS functionality and is running 24/7. An AppleTV is connected to the projector and has all the apps I need for consuming media (Jellyfin, Netflix, etc.). The NAS is running OG Debian with SMB, Jellyfin and even NFS for easy access.

The NUC provides additional features like synching and a few other things.

Why the AppleTV? Because I had Raspis, FireTVs, PCs, and whatnot connected to the projector and the AppleTV is hands down the most convenient one. The UI is super reduced and simple. The remote works. You can get just about every app you might need. And maintainance is basically zero.
