I’ve setup an automatic redirect from the FB start page to:
https://www.facebook.com/?filter=all&sk=h_chr
This is the feed from followed people only - sorted by date, most recent first.
That’s the only sane way of using FB. Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be a similar option in their mobile apps.
I’m using News Explorer for my RSS feeds which also supports subscribing to YouTube channels. In the newer versions it even pulls the comments from YT.
The power-on hours are shown directly on the Health Info page, no need to click through to the SMART attributes.
According to my Synology:
These variable names are dynamically parsed and used for generating the smb.conf.
And if you need a way to support underscores AND spaces (which are not allowed in a variable name), you have to get creative.
I like the solution as it allows me to encode any possible configuration value (even the most obscure one) in the compose file.
Yes, it’s explained in the documentation.
E.g.:
SAMBA_GLOBAL_CONFIG_bind_SPACE_interfaces_SPACE_only: yes
maps to:
[global]
bind interfaces only = yes
This way you don’t need to provide any extra configuration file.
If you want to keep up with friends/family, you can do a chat group on any of the many messengers. Or even use an RCS/iMessage group. You don’t need a full-blown social media thingy for this.
There’s dockurr/samba which is also pretty easy to setup, but doesn’t allow much deviation from the defaults.
You’ll find it a much more encouraging and rewarding experience if you connect with people instead
And you’ll find that a lot of your so-called “friends” won’t include you in any activities if it means they have to contact you separately via other means.

Just make sure you don’t have any local SMB server running on the host. And if you need multiple different shares, these all need to go into the same container or you need to define different ports if you use multiple containers.
why bother with the aliases
Because once some service “loses” (or sells) your email and you start getting spam, it’s pretty easy to burn that specific email address and change it to something else with that specific service and the spam will stop.
Yeah, Synology and NFSv4 is a bit hit or miss if you don’t use a Kerberos server. I’ve experimented with that back in 2018 to no avail: https://blog.mbirth.uk/2018/01/05/synology-nfsv4-with-id-mapping.html
I don’t know anything about Neptune, but a Fediverse-version of TikTok is Loops.video.
Well, it’s not a protocol, Subsonic is an app that became pretty famous in the MP3 era and had a nice API for which various clients were developed.
The source code was Open Source in the early days which was forked into e.g. AirSonic, MadSonic, LibreSonic.
Those projects are dormant for a few years now. That’s why new ones have emerged that simulate the same API so all the client apps can still be used with them.
EDIT: Looks like these are projects that support the Subsonic API and are still in active development:
Ah, so alternative implementations. I’ve still got a license for the original Subsonic, but that hasn’t been updated in years by now.
Subsonic? Is this still a thing?
I have all my photos synced to iCloud and have Apple Photos running on my Mac with the option to “always download originals” enabled. Then, I run a daily backup of my Mac’s photo library to my NAS. For this, I’m using CCC at the moment but I’m planning to switch to restic.
From a technical standpoint, I still have some admiration for ProcessWire which is basically just the backend of a CMS and requires you to code the frontend. It has a great API and is awesome to build websites with. Just create your HTML and insert the PHP snippets wherever you need some dynamic info.
However, it requires a fully fledged database which is what I’m trying to avoid with most of my projects.
Same here but with Apple Health. You can even build some Shortcut to log the weight via Siri if you like to.
On the mobile website, you have to go to the menu and select “Feeds”. However, there’s no direct link to it.
What I don’t like about using the mobile browser is that FB doesn’t behave like a PWA but opens as a normal webpage instead. Which means the cookies can be used to track the other pages I visit (that use FB login or other components from FB).
