Well I certainly hope no one else is logged into this VM that I just rebooted to install system updates, but if someone is, I won’t feel too sorry about them losing their work, helpful shutdown prompt.

Got StreetComplete running under Waydroid! I don’t plan on editing with it on my desktop, but I can use it to find areas I’ve missed and do some armchair mapping with bing or mapillary images.
It looks like Waydroid still doesn’t get location pass-through from the host system, but I can at least tell it “download data here” and see, for example, where I haven’t mapped sidewalks yet.

How finalized is the rel=”self” part? I was thinking I might submit a PR to Snac for this, but I see at least Mastodon and GoToSocial use rel=”alternate” and Threads doesn’t seem to have a rel attribute on the tag.

Found myself thinking about way back when Instagram (before Metastasis) first introduced their Android app and the iPhone-only userbase freaked out about those people being on Instagram

Mozilla Drops Onerep
“The nonprofit organization that supports the Firefox web browser said today it is winding down its new partnership with Onerep, an identity protection service recently bundled with Firefox that offers to remove users from hundreds of people-search sites. The move comes just days after a report by KrebsOnSecurity forced Onerep’s CEO to admit that he has founded dozens of people-search networks over the years.”
“Mozilla only began bundling Onerep in Firefox last month, when it announced the reputation service would be offered on a subscription basis as part of Mozilla Monitor Plus.”

Wtf? I don’t need Achievements in an ebook reader
Wtf? I don’t need Achievements in an ebook reader. And I especially don’t need push notifications telling me how to get them.
Kobo used to have achievements, but I turned them off like 10 years ago, about 5 minutes after I vought my dorat book from them.

Bought my first book.
Either autocorrect is getting worse or my phone typing skills are.

Opened the app to see if they still even have the feature, scrolled down and saw this.

Well, that clears it up.
California Burclover…is native to the Mediterranean
I got an email today from a local conservation society that does both habitat restoration and recommendations for gardening with native plants. One of the non-native plants they mentioned was… “California Burclover.” Apparently it’s native to the Mediterranean. (No surprise that it grows well here!)
I really need to start organizing my time as a queue instead of a stack.

Database
Every time my websites’ database server goes down, two things cross my mind:
– Would it be worth managing the server myself so I can at least troubleshoot it?
– Would it be worth migrating two decades’ worth of WordPress blog posts to a static site generator and just ditching the DB going forward?
OK, three:
– What changed that is causing the server to go down every couple of weeks instead of once a year?

Oh, that’s cool! Could probably build one with a bigger screen. I wonder if the pi 0 is strong enough to run an IDE…

Something I’d be interested in that I can’t seem to find
Something I’d be interested in that I can’t seem to find:
A low-powered Linux laptop with an e-ink display, that I could use for long-form writing or coding.
What I’ve found so far are mostly either
– Tablets intended for note-taking (like the ReMarkable or BOOX’s various lines)
– Higher-end where the e-ink display is an extra (like Lenovo’s swivel designs where you rotate the display to use either an OLED or e-ink).
Some of the tablets do have keyboard cases, which would be better than just hooking up a random Bluetooth keyboard, but it doesn’t look like I can just install programs on them, except for the Android ones, which aren’t going to be ideal for things like coding or running build scripts or anything like that.
The closest I found was the Modos Paper Laptop, but seems to still be in the prototype phase.
Does this form factor exist yet? Am I just having trouble finding them because of the current state of search?

I should add that I started looking because of the mention of the Linux-based, but still early in development PineNote in the latest Pine64 update:
https://fosstodon.org/@PINE64/112112723757342384
https://pine64.org/2024/03/17/march-update-making-waves/
Again it’s a tablet meant for handwritten note taking, but a general-purpose Linux distribution is going to be a lot more flexible

And this is where I can tell you it’s user error!
Apparently when I was testing block and unblock back when I set up the server, I managed to leave threads.net blocked.
I unblocked it, and now I can follow a user in the web interface via @user@threads.net, but not by their profile URL, which I guess is a peculiarity of Threads that it doesn’t return any actor information from that URL.
Thanks for checking in on this, and for, you know, building the thing!
