Shame, it was a great project. Guess I’ll be migrating to calibre-web automated.

Looks promising. Thunderbird works great for me for now. There are increasingly good solutions for mobile as well.

That’s been a problem with the platform for a couple years. It goes something like this: Video hosting is expensive, and moderating video is complicated. So most instances don’t allow open registration and posting.

When you have a video platform without anyone allowed to post videos… Well, it’s not gonna be good.

The only videos that could get posted were from people with an established audience on another platform like YouTube, or else someone passionate enough to run their own server (which requires lots of time, money, and technical know-how).

For a creator who already has an audience, there is absolutely no incentive to jump to federation. It’s more effort for a smaller audience on a less reliable platform. So of course it’s all Veronica explains Linux because that is the only kind of creator who would have an ideological interest of doing it despite the disincentives.

Or else it’s not a knowledgeable and capable creator, but someone with just a lot of time, money, and passion. Do you read a lot of self-published books? Not too many Pulitzers in there. There is a reason you can count on one hand the number of self produced films that are actually good.

Creativity requires openness and freedom. Peertube has been (ironically) one of the most closed video platforms on the internet. For new creators, it’s been impossible to get on and just experiment. That means no innovation, which translates to no good content.

From a cursory look, that seems to be changing. There are now a few instances like that appear to be stable and have open, moderated registration. If that continues, we will begin to see more variety of quality content.

I gotta admit, PeerTube is really beginning to stabilize into a platform I’d consider using. Imma have to take another look when I have to time.

Today I learned that I am well above average.

Great app! If there were Android TV support, I’d switch today.

Like this?

If possible, work with a therapist for this kind of support.

You can rent a roll off dumpster from your local waste management company, and remove a lot in a matter of days. But if you are living with a hoarder, then the mess will just accumulate to fill the space you clear out in a couple months.

This is not a logistical problem, but a behavioral one.

Usually it’s not exactly a speaker, but it does involve a controlled moving diaphragm. In a piezoelectric buzzer, a current applied to the diaphragm causes it to oscillate, and the size and shape of the diaphragm determines the tone AFAIK.

It may be theoretically possible to engineer such a device into a rudimentary speaker. I mean, people have done it with Tesla coils and player pianos, so hey, anything is possible?

I’ve been running Booklore for a while now, and was actually looking into calibre-web automated lol.

I’m interested if it has WebDAV support. It’s maybe a niche feature but I just discovered a great app that has it for backup option.

Work.

Working people can’t take off time to vote. Poor people can’t take off time to vote. Students, teachers, can’t take off time to vote. So in-person voting favors retirees, wealthy people, and business owners like farmers who can set their own hours.

Lemmy has been a big part of it.

I’ve never been fond of paying big tech to spy on me. It has been getting gradually more expensive and more intrusive for years. Around the time I reached a breaking point, folks here helped me realize that digital sovereignty is possible.

One day I was just like, “Why does Google need to know when my lightswich is on?” And that was the start of it.

You obviously understand the concept, given your very specific constraints. OP noted that the particular photo they took would need to be cropped or edited to protect their location.

This photo shows like 1% of a building, no cars, road, structures, or horizon.

Applying the rule “no outdoor photos of your location” covers all of these possibilities, making it a pretty good rule of thumb. Even if you are cautious, you could accidentally post some rare tree or background detail that gives up your location.

So we shouldn’t shame anyone for not posting photos they consider unsafe.

It is basically trivial at this point to connect an outdoor picture to a physical location. This sounds like basic online safety to me.

Sounds like a good situation to connect with a therapist or coach. Talk to someone outside the family who can help you formulate a strategy.

It’s not all or nothing, and it’s not a forever problem. You can use the family business to launch into something more stable and healthy in a few years. Whether that’s education or career planning or just building a financial parachute, I promise you can start taking steps now that will leave you in a better place in the future.

You are a survivor.
