New Tuta Calendar app is now on F-Droid in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

I've heard that a lot of custom domains get filtered by tech giants. Have you experienced any problems like that? I agree it would be nice and self hosting it is pretty straightforward.

Like?

This offers no features over the embedded calendar in the mail app. Not even widgets.

What is an option then?

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

I agree, the CLI is good enough. Thanks for the note about the GUI package manager! I hadn't heard about that.

I also second the positive interactions. Mine have been almost exclusively positive. I've come across a few no effort "RTFM, idiot" attitudes but it's rarer on Nix forums and repos than I've seen elsewhere.

Not until I read the docs in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Thanks for the note on Ditaa. I didn't know it existed but I love the idea of rendering bitmaps from ASCII, especially on the web. It's like Mermaid but the original syntax is a diagram in and of itself!

Like the author writes:

There is a number of formats that are text-based (html, docbook, LaTeX, programming language comments), but when rendered by other software (browsers, interpreters, the javadoc tool etc), they can contain images as part of their content. If ditaa was intergrated with those tools (and I'm planning to do the javadoc bit myself soon), then you would have readable/editable diagrams within the text format itself, something that would make things much easier. ditaa syntax can currently be embedded to HTML.

I'm genuinely not sure what has you so reactive here, but go off queen

AlternativeTo: a resource I wish I would have had when I started using Linux (alternativeto.net)

AlternativeTo is a site I use quite a bit. Personally I use it when I get fed up with an Android app having too many ads / creepy network behavior or want to find a self-hostable version of a freemium service.

It has filters for free, open source, platform type, etc. From my understanding it's all crowd sourced, so if you disagree with a rating put in a vote! Sharing this in hopes that others find it as useful as I do.

If you know of similar or better resources I would love to hear about them.

Edit: many people are noting that the comments and reviews are out of date. I agree! Despite that I still find it to he useful. It would be great if this little bit of visibility gets more folks engaged over there to improve it.

USB-C Multi-Device Charger Recommendations? (lemmus.org)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by sunstoned@lemmus.org to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I've been playing around with my home office setup. I have multiple laptops to manage (thanks work) and a handful of personal devices. I would love to stop playing the "does this charging brick put out enough juice for this device" game.

I have:

  • 1x 100W Laptop
  • 1x 60W Laptop
  • 1x 30W Router
  • 1x 30W Phone
  • 2x raspberry pis

I've been looking at multi-device bricks like this UGREEN Nexode 300W but hoped someone might know of a similar product for less than $170.

Saving a list of products that are in the ballpark below, in case they help others. Unfortunately they just miss the mark for my use case.

  • Shargeek S140: $80, >100W peak delivery for one device, but drops below that as soon as a second device is plugged in.
  • 200W Omega: at $140 it's a little steep. Plus it doesn't have enough ports for me. For these reasons, I'm out.
  • Anker Prime 200W: at $80 this seems like a winner, but ~~they don't show what happens to the 100W outputs when you plug in a third (or sixth) device. Question pending with their support dept.~~ it can't hit 100W on any port with 6 devices plugged in.
  • Anker Prime 250W: thanks FutileRecipe for the recommendation! This hits all of the marks and comes in around $140 after a discount. Might be worth the coin.

If you've read this far, thanks for caring! You're why this corner of the internet is so fun. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Beeper Self Hosting (github.com)
 

Is anybody self hosting Beeper bridges?

I'm still wary of privacy concerns, as they basically just have you log into every other service through their app (which as I understand is always going on in the closed source part of Beeper's product).

The linked GitHub README also states that the benefit of hosting their bridge setup is basically "hosting Matrix hard" which I don't necessarily believe.
