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:

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.

My partner made #vegan hotdogs wrapped in dough ("Hotdogs im Teigmantel"), so I am having a little treat on this Saturday morning #food #coffee

Some fancy breakfast this morning with menemen, juice, my favorite black tea, freshly baked bread and olives 🌱 #food #vegan

Image description: a black plate in a table. On top is a pile of scrambled tofu in a red tomatoe sauce and some spring onions on top. Next to.the plate is a glass of juice, a cup black tea with oat milk, some pickled olives and several slives of dark full grain bread as well as a glass of water.

There is that one odd #podcast I like which is only available on #youtube, which of course can not be inserted into my podcatcher OOTB.

So I wrote a little #PHP-script which refactors youtube's #rss into podcast rss-feed and fetches audio of video-entries on-demand via #ytdlp. It is not quite finished (for example, video-descriptions as well as channel-images are not fully implemented yet), but it is already functional. I use it with @AntennaPod without any issues.

Not sure, if this is too niche, but in case anyone else has a use for that: https://codeberg.org/jayvii/yt2rss

Looks like Haymarketbooks uses a (very) soft version of ebook DRM: they put the buyer's name and e-mail adress on the second page of the book (after the cover). So the book i just bought there now has a very weird addy.io of mine on the second page

#Linux users, particularly #Debian & #Ubuntu: are you going to switch to #Mozilla's own #Firefox repository? Are you already using their snap or flatpak release? Or are you sticking to the binaries provided by your distro's maintainers?

Throwback to when we did our own #Simit in summer 2022 #vegan

Is there anyone who uses #alpinelinux #alpine as their main desktop OS and cares to share their experience and pain points?

Thought I'd upgrade my #coffee game a little...
