Hi Laguna.chats Lemmits, Laguna.chat now supports the mobile-first Lemmy interface Voyager. [M.Laguna.chat](https://m.laguna.chat) For the nostalgic reddit-like feeling I have also added support for mlmym. [Old.Laguna.chat](https://old.laguna.chat) Lemmy's own Lemmy-UI takes priority over the alternative UIs. For example if a important security update breaks one of the alternative UIs we will still update Lemmy-UI. Enjoy browsing a better mobile Lemmy, enjoy browsing as if it were the good old days. Kind regards, Rik

Recommend me a good and cheap VPS.

    Contabo and NetCup are really cheap. But only if you use their shared VPS option. If you are lucky the CPU steal is low.

  • Audiobookshelf media sorter
  • Riktastic Riktastic 1y ago 80%

    I sirt it manually. I just rip a CD, edit its metadata with MusicBrainz Picard then place all the MP3's in a folder for just the book and then move it to the folder of the author.

    Once scanned by audiobookshelf I modify the metadata a bit more and then let audiobookshelf combine the book to one file.

    GrapheneOS probably won't. Their main dev literally jokes about the phones security. While GrapheneOS was originally made for Pixels.

  • What if a Reddit admin participated here?
  • Riktastic Riktastic 1y ago 100%

    Probably welcoming, not every Reddit employee stands behind the decisions made by their management.

    If they enjoy to browse Lemmy more then Reddit it doesn't automatically make them unloyal to their job or a enemy of Lemmy.

  • How to back up phone without Google?
  • Riktastic Riktastic 1y ago 100%

    I use the integrated /e/OS backup which is actually Seedvault which runs great :). But you need a service to store you backups, WebDAV, SMB or etc. Neo Backup (which I have used for many years on Lineage OS) seems to be able to make backups to a SD card.

    What mobile OS do you use?
  • Riktastic Riktastic 1y ago 100%

    /e/OS it is degoogled but most of the "Google" applications have been replacedby great opensource alternatives or adapted. The app store still allows us to install apps from the playstore but anonymously.

  • How do you guys back up your server?
  • Riktastic Riktastic 1y ago 100%

    I use duplicacy to backup to my local NAS and to Storj.io. In case of a fire I'm always able to restore my files. Storj.io is cheap, easy to access from any location and your files are stored and duplicated on multiple different locations.

    I have used duplicity before but restoring from a new installation takes a while, as duplicity has to reanalyze the storage.

    Great! It is important for the existence of Lemmy that there is no central server.

    Here are the other links:

    By having an actual policy. That lists the usage of data, 3rd parties and the responsibilities of the instance owner.

  • Europe has fallen behind America and the gap is growing
  • Riktastic Riktastic 1y ago 0%

    What a journalistical mistake, you can't directly compare a group of countries with a single country. In this case fallen behind means in money. Which is quite a bad assumption.

    The Netherlands/ASML has no choice. The US is threathening NL with trade allegation, because the US fears the Chinese's technical advances.

  • This website holy shit
  • Riktastic Riktastic 1y ago 100%

    Well, you joined the most overcrowded Lemmy instance. Its administrators a currently working on it. But they didn't expect this many users.

    In the meantime I recommend joining smaller instances. Which are able to handle the load. Like my own instance :).

  • Why is the most popular computer os closed source while the most popular mobile os is open source?
  • Riktastic Riktastic 1y ago 100%

    Well, Windows isn't that popular in the computer scene. Linux is by far more popular for servers, IoT devices (payment terminals, heartrate monitors...) and critical systems. But Windows has an edge in the PC scene. But to be honest a Apple Mac is also in the formfactor PC. These charts are always way of, just because their definition and monitoring techniques are not trustworthy.

    The problem with Linux: it is opensource and free, and everyone can rebrand it. But at the same time everyone wants to make a euro out of it. There are a lot of companies that misuse its license by closing the source.

  • Lemmy resembles the old reddit experience so well that they even emulate the old reddit server performance
  • Riktastic Riktastic 1y ago 100%

    The top three instances a currently overcrowded. I recommend checking out a smaller instance (for example https://laguna.chat).

    Smaller instances are still able to access to same content. But it is just a different server that processes the content.

    https://www.security.nl/posting/801160/Europese+Commissie+presenteert+voorstel+voor+digitale+euro?channel=rss

    De Europese Commissie heeft vandaag een voorstel gepresenteerd voor een digitale euro. De munt krijgt de status van wettig betaalmiddel, is online en offline te gebruiken en zal niet programmeerbaar zijn. Brussel claimt zelfs dat offline betalingen met de digitale euro een "soortgelijk privacyniveau" bieden als met contant geld het geval is. Volgens vice- commissievoorzitter Dombrovskis is de digitale euro niet bedoeld om cash te gaan vervangen en blijft contant geld bestaan.
