I’m using News Explorer on all my Apple devices. It syncs my feeds and the read/unread states. And even supports a separate view for comments for many blogs.

London@feddit.uk•Stuck in the slow lane: Average bus speed in London falls below 9mphEnglish
2·2 days agoE.g. the 272 going North on Wood Lane has to cross the A40 intersection. But due to roadworks, the traffic going North is extremely slow. People coming from the A40 fill any gap that opens up and when the lights turn green for the bus, there’s nowhere for the bus to go. I’ve once spent like 20 minutes there without the bus being able to go.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•How do I get a circle on mastodon (or any other non-thread social media)English
3·4 days agoApart from the stuff already mentioned, never stop shouting into the void about stuff that interests you or projects you’re working on. Add a few relevant hashtags so your toots can be discovered. It may take a while, but people will come. Don’t give up.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What folders do you make in addition to the default ones ?
30·4 days agoMy home folders on any OS have a
Developmentfolder (which conveniently sits right next toDocumentsandDownloads) and in that folder, I’ve also got subfolders per programming language that have the respective projects in them.The other folder I usually have is
SyncThingwith whatever synced folders are relevant for that machine.

Technology@lemmy.world•4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replacedEnglish
1·5 days agoI believe Infuse has Jellyfin support on Apple TV. But they want like £100 for a lifetime license or £2 a month / £13 a year.
¿Por qué no los dos? Make Home Assistant your master automation system because it supports a huge amount of devices. And then expose those to HomeKit using the HomeKit Bridge service.
This makes all compatible devices (i.e. everything HomeKit can interpret) show up in Apple Home, too.
That’s how I do it, so I can ask my HomePods to turn lights on and off or lower the blinds.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 DaysEnglish
1·9 days agoLet’s Encrypt is. But tools to keep 100s of certificates up to date sometimes are not.
I’d still like some algorithm in my RSS aggregator. One, that detects articles talking about the same thing and groups them.

Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk’s Grok Says It Would Kill Every Jewish Person on the Planet to Save HimEnglish
11·10 days agoReminds me of companies that still call themself “startup” even after several years with a successful product. Just so they can rip employees off with low base pay and unpaid overtime because “we’re a startup”.

1·11 days agoI’m pretty sure it’s the SSL seller lobby just wanting more money, tbh. Selling snake oil security.
And selling “certificate automation” tools.

211·11 days agoThe point is, if the certificate gets stolen, there’s no GOOD mechanism for marking it bad.
That’s what OCSP is for. Only Google isn’t playing along as per that wiki entry.

Technology@beehaw.org•Is the new Digg uncensored? does it support NSFW stuff?English
6·12 days agoI remember some list of ca. 50 Reddit accounts which you were supposed to block to get a better Reddit experience. I guess at a specific size of userbase, there are always some people that will start to game the system.

Then remove the combined up/down thingy and add the separate up and down chips. They show separate numbers.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I have two partitions, one for the OS, and one for storage. Can I expand the OS partition without losing data?

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•External storage on Steam OS is a problem
2·18 days agoWhat external storage are you using? Is it the same that worked so flawlessly on your PS5?
Because I’ve recently bought some M.2 SSD enclosures with a Realtek RTL9210B chip and those seem to be buggy in that the enclosure goes offline for a few seconds after some random time (hours to days).
And I only noticed it because of random disconnect notifications about the one I use for Time Machine.

Yep, same here.
