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 use Thunder! I've been using it for a long time now, and really like it.

Since Jellyfin v10.6.0, it's had a feature called SyncPlay allowing multiple users to watch the same thing at the same time (coordinates pauses, fast forwarding/rewinding, and all that between clients). I've used it and it worked like a charm, although I did find that not all clients support it.

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.

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.

You're correct about the difference between Local and All!

You can see the full list of Beehaw's Connected and Blocked instances here. A that URL format works for any Lemmy instance, https:///instances.
