Hi. 👋

I am JayVii, a data enthusiast with a passion for Free and Open Source Software. I care about social inclusion & privacy. This is my personal Fediverse server, powered by ktistec. I modified its appearance with my own adjustments.

I typically remove shared posts after ca. 3–6 months. I do keep most of my own posts (for now).

I post about a variety of topics, both in German and English, such as:

#Debian / #Linux
#FOSS / #OpenSource
#vegan #Food
#ktistec
#webdev, particularly #CSS and #PHP
sometimes posts & shares about German and EU politics (#DEpol, #EUpol)

I also developed a few tiny & simple self-hostable tools to ease my life (and that of others), such as:

You can find out more about myself on my website or in my introduction post.

BTW, #OpenStreetMap did not rename #LakeOntario either, nor the #GulfOfMexico https://osm.org/go/ZcXgo

Go ahead and use the various OSM attached apps and services, too like #CoMaps or #OSMAnd

Offensichtlich gibt es Mapquest noch (who knew?!) und sie weigern sich, "Lake Ontario" umzubenennen in "Lake America".

Geil.

For my personal tech-news feed tn.jayvii.de, I use RSS feeds from other link aggregators like HN, lobsters, reddit or Lemmy.

Unfortunately, the RSS feeds of the later two link to the posts, rather than the URL that post links to. Is there any way to circumvent this behaviour or extract the URL from reddit/lemmy via a thin webscraping layer I can run the RSS feed through?

I have something like morss.it in mind...

Every single time, when I follow a direct link to github. Or at the very least on my first click on anything there... What a scam of a platform.

Screenshot of a github error page: too many requests. Please wait for a few minutes and try again or log into your github account.

snarky remark about signal phishing attacks

This would have never happend with #Element/#Matrix, because

could not decrypt message

What isn't discussed enough within the whole Signal Phishing attack debacle in Germany, is that users have been primed for years to accept fishy (in-) security processes by online services, apps, payment providers and banks.

I (and probably you too) get (legit) messages and mails from banks you wouldn't believe... It is no wonder, that people interact with phishing-DMs via their messenger, when this is what other services call their official authentication procedures for a decade or so.

Well, TIL that you can pipe tar directly into ssh. Need to play around with that a little. Maybe it overcomes the requirement to have enough space for a giant tar file on the host?

In an attempt to use my smartphone a lot less, I am currently trying Newsboat's Podcast integration and a slim script I hacked together this morning. It automatically fetches podcast episodes, downloads and pushes them to the MP3-Player I bought a few months ago for taking to the gym.

It is of course a little bit more clunky than simply using Antennapod on my smartphone, but honestly, it is a quite smooth and pleasant experience nonetheless. Let's see how this goes for a few weeks.

As is often the case, @pluralistic is right: the corporate web is unbearable and RSS really is the only way to make news reading work.

Get an RSS reader and/or a read-it-later application. Make use of tools like morss and use aggressive adblock settings everywhere else.

Why is it, that every other #nextcloud update, i have to go through all apps/addons again because half of them were not enabled again after upgrading?
