It doesn’t have a speedometer function, but I selfhost Owntracks for personal location tracking with my Android smartphone.
It has a back end that an android app sends location too, and a front end that displays those location points over a map. It can display lines between consecutive points, show a heatmap of the location points, filter location history within windows of time, and more.
I doubt Reddit builds a decent search engine, that doesn’t actually help them at all.
If users can search, they find a previous post pertaining to what they want to see/know and they move on.
If there’s no search, users can’t find old posts or comments so they make new posts about a previously posted topic and more comments are made as other users react. That’s more content, even if low quality from a user perspective, that shows engagement which can be sold to advertisers.
That’s before considering the engineering effort it takes to make a good search engine, constantly fine tune that algorithm, and try to outpace those that are trying to game the search algorithm.
I like Czkawka for detecting and handling duplicate files, similar files, empty directories, and more.
Sunday afternoon, after careful evaluation of a significant security concern, we made the intentional decision to sever our ties to the internet.
I feel like most big announcements like this end up being Ransomware. Cutting off from the wider internet feels like a weird move to defend/mitigate that? Unless it’s to reduce exfiltration?
I assume you mean SSL/TLS certificates for internet accessable applications? I use a reverse proxy called Caddy in a Docker container, which handles requests from the internet and directs them to the proper docker container based on the subdomain. It also handles my certificates automatically, requesting a new Let’sEncrypt cert just before the old one expires using a community made plugin.
You may be able to use the CLI tool mmv, which can be installed through the apt package manager. It’s great at renaming files that are starting a similar naming convention and ending with a similar naming convention, you could use mmv to move your files. It also suppose sum links and hardlinks. It’s what I used to rename folders of tv shows when I need to do that.
I hope so too. But he’s already not supposed to be using Mar-a-lago as a permanent residence. So we’ll see what happens.
I doubt even for health reasons, probably more for security reasons. Secret Service securing a prison would be a nightmare for anything short of splitary confinement. For that reason alone, he’d probably be under house arrest.
Containers like Docker/Podman? I only use that for selfhosted services on my servers. I can’t speak to Docker/Podman applications used on desktop.
If you want to include more universal package methods such ad Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage, I use Flatpak installations for things I want to sandbox that don’t have a focus on Linux Development. These are applications like Discord and Spotify. I’ll also install applications through Flatpak that aren’t available through my package manager, after checking that the Flatpak is maintained by the developer. An example of that which I use is Czkawka which finds and offers solutions for duplicate and similar files.
The way I used Flatpak, I haven’t run into any show stopping issues although I do know using Flatpak for CLI applications can be difficult and annoying. I believe Flatpak CLI apps need to be run by using the full Flatpak package name instead of just the executable name.

If you’re so inclined, Reddit User to SQLite is a project that uses Reddit API to save as many posts and comments by a user to a SQLite Database. It then has suggestions about a good way to view the data in the web browser as well.
There are over 6000 subreddits that still aren’t public. Like looks like Reddit is over waiting for them to come back online. https://famichiki.jp/@Tsutsuku/110537730270070245
If you’re open to things similar to Plex, I’d recommend Jellyfin! Plex has been making some decisions lately that aren’t necessarily selfhoster friendly. A selfhosted instance of Plex still authenticates using Plex’s central servers (if you’re internet is out or Plex is down and you want to stream your own movies or shows, that won’t work due to failed authentication). That’s compared to your Jellyfin instance handling authentication locally. If you can contact your server, you can watch your media. Plex has also announced a credit skipping feature, uploading credit timing to their central servers that can be restored on complete rebuild. While they say it’s anonymous, they need some way to associate you and the proper credit timings, to send that back to you.
Jellyfin is earlier days in development, and you should check to see what clients are available to see if that would work with your hardware. But Jellyfin is definitely catching up, I’ve been very happy with their server and applications.
An instance is a server running Lemmy software, which can have a bunch of communities which are effectively subreddits. Some instances allow users to create communities, others restrict that ability to admins.
I have been on Reddit for the last 10 years, and a 3rd party app user for all of it. It feels like the end of an era, and that will be sad no matter what. I won’t miss the vast majority of subreddits, especially the bigger ones. It’s the smaller more niche subreddits I’m going to have a hard time not returning to and I’m hoping to find similar communities elsewhere.
It does get disabled to the Quarterback, however I believe the Head Coach can flip between channels to talk to Offensive and/or Defensive coordinators during the play.
