They’re great stories with some interesting sci-fi ideas tossed in here and there. Her Chalion series is fantastic too.

An easy option is VaultWarden. Pretty painless to host AND it’ll store your passwords. There are probably better dedicated tools, but it’s functionality is pretty solid.

I never used their app, but I have a Yi camera. There are several open source firmwares for them that provide many more features than stock. I feed my cameras into Frigate, which isn’t particularly simple to configure, but gives you a great open source DVR.

I don’t really like the Yi camera actually. I’ve had much better luck with Amcrest.

I haven’t used it, but agendav - https://github.com/agendav/agendav looks like it might be what you’re looking for. There are similar projects for iCal format, which many calendar apps can emit as well.

I love all strava’s social elements, but it has just gotten worse and worse over time. We really need a federated alternative. I’ve been toying with concepts for a while, even made a bridge from Garmin to mastodon API, but the long term concern for me is that Garmin seems to be picky with official API access so it would be difficult for individual servers to import data from there or other sources.

I dunno about PHP Storm, but I’ve used pretty much all their other IDEs and they’re hands down better than their competitors. I wish they had picked better names for Data Grip and Data Spell though. I can never keep track of which is which.

I generally agree, but its difficult to say what kind of vulnerabilities may lie in wait due to outdated dependencies. Heliboard seems to be the successor, also does not have network access, and is more regularly updated. Whatever satisfies your threat model though.

If it’s working for you then great, but that hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. For something that all my input is filtered through I’d like something better maintained.

Thank you for that! Wicked

Preach brother. One of the best uses of generative AI for me would be transcribing videos into an article or tutorial depending on the content.

How does it compare to HeliBoard?

I like this idea so much. Do the public libraries not have some kind of video service already? Seems like a network of library-powered PeerTube instances would serve that niche really well.

Ah. I still have a “gmail” account but it’s entirely for the places that require a Google account now.

As for YouTube, I just stumbled across this thread: https://lemmy.zip/post/16741291

I highly recommend looking at something like Proton for 3 and 4. Or backblaze for 4 if it’s truly for backup.

I have mine working with Navidrone without any issues.

There is a Home Assistant app for Garmin watches that is pretty usable. The flashlight is surpassingly, hilariously, one of my favorite features though.

I would very much like this too! Especially if it can count distance/steps from other kinds of activities like biking, stationary bike, maybe even swimming.

Home Assistant is a great alternative. It gets better and better as all Google and Alexa get worse and worse.

It’s the THIRDREALITY Motion Sensor https://a.co/d/giK2dvw. It’s worked really well so far.

Neat. I did something similar but simpler. I put a cheap zigbee motion detector in the mailbox and hooked it to a routine to toggle a flag and trigger a notification. Yours sounds like more fun though.
