They’ve been working on the redesign for awhile now, but the version everyone’s used to (Teamspeak 3) still works perfectly fine. TS3 clients can connect to new Teamspeak servers, and new Teamspeak clients can connect to old teamspeak servers, just without the new features like screen share

My group still uses TS3 on a daily basis on a self hosted server

That last part is a huge reason why I’m taking RSS more seriously. I don’t want my information to be limited to what happens to get picked up by the news cycle or worse chosen by the algorithm. I’d much rather get the information from the source. So that definitely meets the criteria :D

Uh oh I might be subscribing to all of these! Thank you very much!

And wow that low tech magazine site is beautiful

Heyy I’ve been looking around at different android apps and I think I’ve also settled on “Read You.” Thank you for the list, I haven’t heard of lots of them like MariusHosting and they look interesting

Which feeds do you watch for automation? I also like automating what I can lol

Wow that’s actually genius thank you

I use Duplicati for my backups, and have backup retention set up like this:

Save one backup each day for the past week, then save one each week for the past month, then save one each month for the past year.

That way I have granual backups for anything recent, and the further back in the past you go the less frequent the backups are to save space

If you haven’t heard of the game Blood on the Clocktower, you should definitely check it out! It’s a bit more involved than the other games on your list, but it’s become my holy Grail of social deduction games

Also a big recommend for Manifold Garden for special thinking in a fractal space

I also really appreciate these, a bunch of cool projects I haven’t heard of before this week

The parents are getting a divorce, meaning the kid will celebrate Christmas twice, once with each parent

Make sure to read the actual message, it’s a lot worse than the headline makes it sound lol (It’s also nice that you can look at the link of the full conversation to see how normal it was until the last message)

The pinebook’s privacy switches (for WiFi/BT, camera, and microphone) operate at the firmware level, the operating system has no control over them

https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinebook_Pro#Privacy_Switches

The keyboard operates on firmware independent of the operating system. It detects if one of the F10, F11 or F12 keys is pressed in combination with the Pine key for 3 seconds. Doing so disables power to the appropriate peripheral, thereby disabling it. This has the same effect as cutting off the power to each peripheral with a physical switch. This implementation is very secure, since the firmware that determines whether a peripheral gets power is not part of the Pinebook Pro’s operating system. So the power state value for each peripheral cannot be overridden or accessed from the operating system. The power state setting for each peripheral is stored across reboots inside the keyboard’s firmware flash memory.

A couple of favorites that are different from what others already said:

• I strongly dislike autorotate on my phone so I always keep it off, however it makes perfect sense in apps like YouTube/Twitch. So I have one task that turns it on when opening one of those apps, and off again when closing them
• When I’ve got Bluetooth headphones, I can choose to have incoming texts read out to me. Very nice when walking/running outside and not needing to pull my phone out
• Similarly, I’ve got a task that will (optionally) read out the name of the song that’s playing to Bluetooth

Buzzkill is very nice. I’m in a group chat that gets huge bursts of activity (like a hundred messages) and then goes dormant for a bit, so I set buzzkill to only give me at most 1 notification every 30 minutes, and keep the rest of them silent. That way I can still keep up with it without my phone blowing up

I also highly recommend libby, which lets you check out ebooks and audiobooks from your library. I don’t have a kindle myself, but this help article says it’s supported “Reading Kindle Books on a Kindle ereader”

You can also add multiple library cards, so if you wanted to go crazy you can find libraries that let you sign up for a card even if you don’t have a local address and get access to both library’s collections to read on your Kindle

Currently on season 3 of a rewatch haha

Such an awesome show

I would love a source for this to pull up in future discussions

I also highly recommend the movie, one of my all time favorites (and not because of this scene)

Still very cool to think about

And thank you for the app link, if I ever get flexible enough hours I wonder if that sleep schedule would help my somewhat unhealthy relationship with sleep

I definitely agree some of the issues they cite are more complicated than they need to be

It would be awesome to base schedules around sunrise (especially sleep, your routine sounds very nice), but the wild variance the further you go from the equator might make that unruly.

Depending on the time of year my schedule would “shift” around multiple hours due to latitude, people in (southern) Norway would have to shift around 6ish hours, all the way to the extreme arctic circle where the sun doesn’t rise/set depending on season

I think I could adapt where I live, but I feel like “time of day” would lose all meaning without also knowing time of sunrise, whereas right now I can be reasonably certain how “active” the world is in any given timezone at 9:00 or 23:00

It is definitely interesting to think how different it would be to base everything around sunrise (you’d never really say let’s meet at x time, it would always be relative to sunrise), I just struggle in thinking people would be able to break the routine of relying on nice round numbers for time
