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.

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 personally haveb't used Plex, but one feature they have that I've heard is hard to give up is automatic intro and credit skipping.

Not only did they make their own app, but there was an 11 year gap between launching Reddit (2005, granted smartphones weren't a thing then) and when they launched their Official app (2016, well into the smartphone era exploding). And Reddit bought the iOS 3rd party Reddit app Alien Blue in 2014. It's crazy of him trying to push the story that Reddit was never intended to be used by 3rd party apps.

It is probable that these instances follow in the footsteps of Reddit- the cycle repeats.

I don't think this is completely the case. Some instances will suffer from overzealous mods and admins, others will suffer because of absent ones, others will have too strict or too lax rules. That's unavoidable in any large number of communities. But Reddit is preparing and doing something that the vast majority of Lemmy instances will never do, Reddit is trying to prepare for an IPO and to have to show growth to shareholders on top of advertisers.

If that is something that could be done by a Lemmy instance, if that is botched it would be even easier for Lemmy users to jump ship to other instsnces and potentially defederate from the IPO instance.

That epiphany is great. I've done some of my best work while standing in the shower.

An instance is a server running Lemmy software, which can have a bunch of communities which are effectively subreddits. Some instances allow users to create communities, others restrict that ability to admins.
