Dank der Hilfe und Geduld von @sam konnte ich meine Instanz bei auf v1.0.0 bzw. v1.0.3 aktualisieren 🏃🏽‍➡️🚴🏼

Sehr cool: Es lassen sich jetzt Workouts nach Standort filtern und auf einer Karte anzeigen.

Außerdem sind weitere Sportarten, Sprachen und Features hinzugekommen und diverse Bugs beseitigt.

Vielen Dank an @FitTrackee und alle Beteiligten!

      Hey all you selfhosters and homelabbers. When you are in need of a new fancy domain, where du you get it und how much d you roughly pay for it monthly. Are there any tld's which are really cheap? I mean there really seem to be people out there collecting that stuff and i think that must be quite expensive when you collect exessively.

            Just saw notes about which is apparently a type thing. Anyone have experience with it? I like Nextcloud, but it's a fucking pain to manage and keep working, especially on shared hosting. I'm steeling myself to abandon my (increasingly broken) shared-hosting NC installation to put it on a home computer, as long as I can convince myself the security of doing that is OK; I've heard that with the all-in-one Docker image it can be.

            If OpenCloud is a better user/maintenance experience than Nextcloud, I'd happily give it a shot and maybe switch

              Question for those of you who host a LLM by themselfs with Ollama, llama.cpp and use it for example for generating alt texts for images.
              What LLM do you recommend? Which one generates a good description for screen reader users with the least amount of computing?

              Whats your experience with that? Bonus points for LLM's which perform really good in CPU only situations.

                                    Monitor what is important. If its not monitored, assume it isn't important.
                                    From the monitoring, set thresholds for acceptable and not. When things move into or trend towards unacceptable levels, corrective measures must be activated.

                                    This generally prevents things from getting out of control.

                                    What are you using to monitor each area?

                                    What else is important to you that you monitor?

It seems at least once a day I miss the continuity that I had with my Apple ecosystem. Just working on something on my Linux machine and not being able to just pick up where I left off or even copy/pasting. There’s always that extra step to get things across devices.

                                              Dear Fedi friends,

                                              If you can set aside 11 minutes today, I highly encourage to watch @vkc's latest video: "I stream nothing, and I am happy."

                                              🔗​: https://tinkerbetter.tube/w/ns3WDZZgAoe1SfrDCAUrni

                                              It is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT and should be shown in media literacy and digital literacy classes everywhere. Actually, everyone should watch it (I'm about to send it to my family and friends).

                                              My favorite part comes up towards the end. Veronica eloquently explains (9 min 27 sec in):

                                              "I feel like we owe it to ourselves and to those who follow us to try and break free of algorithms, which tell us what we should like, who we should believe, and how we should feel about it.

                                              It may sound melodramatic and maybe it is, but I see the increased dependence on algorithmically-driven entertainment as a symptom of that larger problem: uber-convenience that separates us from our critical thinking.

                                              We're learning to abandon reason for small decisions, and wouldn't you know it, now it's easier to ignore reasons for the larger ones.

                                              I'm not here to tell you what to think. I was raised in a "mind-your-own-damn-business" household and that's where my head is at. But I do want to implore all of us to think critically about how streaming media, autoplay, and the algorithm are impacting us."

                                              I'm super proud to be a backer of her Patreon and I cannot thank her enough for this incredible video... which comes at the perfect time, as I was already planning to set up #Jellyfin next week.
