Floccus is what I use for bookmarks.

Works across pretty much any browser and on Android (maybe iOS, I’m not sure). I’ve got it set up on my Synology NAS through webdav, and it’s been reliable.

I do also use Linkwarden, but that’s more to collect web pages, and not just bookmark them. The archive feature is great, since it doesn’t rely on the page still being live to work.

Linkwarden and Floccus are very different, IMO.

Been using this for a few weeks on my synology nas. Absolutely love it!

I don’t disagree. If I chose to do that, I’d automate it, but there’s no guarantee that they are using a paid-per-click ad.

Because someone paid for that click, and will spend more money because of “how many clicks” they got.

Basically, clicking on ads you aren’t interested in wastes someone’s money (and makes money for the site, depending on how the ads are bought/placed).

I use Rustdesk for 99% of my remote desktop needs (RealVNC only for my Raspberry Pi).

I will add that self-hosting Rustdesk makes it reliable and fast. When I use the public servers, it was not a good experience.

I’m running it off my Synology NAS through docker.

Of every device, individually from what I just had to experience.

It should always be opt in.

My wife is using Smarttube on a TV that has one of there Chromecast dongles, but our main LG TV doesn’t have that option.

I’ve been using FreeTube through Windows on a MiniPC, but it’s not an elegant solution. LOL It does work, though.

I’m using pinchflat

Well. I just installed it and the folder/file structure is definitely better! Now I have to figure out how to get Jellyfin to “see” the download directory. LOL

Thanks for pointing me to another solution.

EDIT: Got that sorted out. Goddamn, it just works! Thank you!

do you re-watch enough YT videos that you need to archive your subscriptions?

Well, if I can get it working, I would much rather be watching via Jellyfin on my TV and not whatever crappy, privacy-invading, ad-shoving Youtube app I’m forced to use.

But realistically, I want to keep some how-to / maintenance videos archived, because I’ve lost track of how many times they went “private” and can’t be accessed anymore. Some really niche product use/maintenance videos tend to disappear.

I have no real interest in data hoarding vlogs or other crap. Just informational stuff.

I appreciate that! Thanks.

I’d rather update anything that’s old, as long as it stays on the same OS version (Bullseye and not Bookworm).

With newer versions of Raspian or any version of Linux, there seems to be a software update GUI that makes this pretty easy, but I’m taking stabs in the dark with this legacy version.

Nothing on there says it needs a legacy version, but I may be overlooking something.

It took several attempts (with failures) to get it installed on the latest Raspian version, then after some digging I saw that the requirements said to use “An SD Card with the 64-bit version of RaspiOS installed (please use Bullseye)”.

With Bullseye installed, BirdNetPi works just fine, but it is old and comes with old software.

I pause videos to read what’s on screen.

An add-on that screenshots on pause would fix this. But yes, I understand the use-case as I do the same. Google doesn’t give a damn (about users).

An add-on that simply overlays a black box when you pause is easy enough.

The bike industry doesn’t want to destroy society the same way the car industry does, so this wouldn’t have made any difference.

And it’s a combination of lobbying by the oil/gas industry + the car industry that created an unstoppable force. Just look at the tens of millions the auto industry spends lobbying.

The Phillip OneBlade is especially good if your skin is sensitive to razors. It doesn’t give a “razor clean” shave, but that’s the point.

Perfect is the enemy of good enough, the goal should be for everyone to reduce their footprint

I agree. The aim isn’t to be perfect, but hell, we should at least make a minimal effort.

At the scale of a country if we get 90% of the people to reduce their red meat and dairy intake by 60% it would be a massive win already.

We don’t need 90% or 60%. Even 10% would create massive shifts in multiple industries responsible for harming the environment. And if a group is in a position to promote plant-based diets, they really should. As a minimum for change.

Roughly 15% of the world population has IBS which means a much larger number than 0.1% cannot go vegan (I’m one of them). I try my best to reduce my food footprint but there’s only so much I can do.

I’m not trying to force anyone who medically can’t go vegan, to hurt themselves. Veganism entails not using animal products, not just avoiding their consumption.

But I’m assuming the entire organization isn’t made up of people with IBS, so they should still be promoting a vegan lifestyle when possible.

Also by your reasoning you can’t be a member of an organisation fighting against climate change if you’re not vegan, that’s a great way to drive people away from the cause…

Not true. That’s like saying they can’t be members if they own a car. Granted, I would highly question any environmental group where every member drove a car for all their trips.

What matters is the message and whether individuals in the organization are making an effort to be better, not just yell at politicians and industry leaders.

“Lead by example”, “be the change”, and all that…

You can find other orgs that fight against climate change who promote veganism within their organization and to the general population. Greenpeace, for example. Hell, even Greta Thunberg, who’s had more of an impact than these other guys, is vegan.

The idea is to “be the change”, and you can’t be telling one group (i.e. the fossil fuel industry) to stop doing what they are doing, while acting in ways that demonstrably harm the environment needlessly.

A plant-based diet, perhaps above all else, is one of the most powerful tools we have to fight climate change. And once you convince one person to go vegan, they will likely change their lifestyle beyond diet to reduce their carbon footprint and rely less on the fossil fuel industry.

The industry won’t go anywhere if they still have 8 billion customers. As individuals, our day-to-day lives impact their bottom line; we can make them money, or we can prevent them from making money.

I don’t discredit their efforts, but their credibility. It would go a long way if their members showed that they were serious about climate change in their own lives, while fighting against the industry.

Anyway, I just asked the question, since I don’t know this group. Perhaps they are all vegans, and they go after the livestock industry, too.

While going vegan is a good thing for the environment

It’s quite literally one of the most impactful things you can do as an individual.

not everyone can or is willing to switch completely.

99.99% of people can, but an org that’s fighting to end climate change really should have that be their minimum for members.

Greenpeace, for example, promotes veganism all the time. I’d trust them more than these other guys.

Is this a vegan org? It doesn’t mention anything about their members adhering to a plant-based diet, and it would certainly make me uncomfortable if they weren’t.
