very hard to degoogle your phone/life. sounds like youre willing to put some work in...

yes, i agree. but look at the link i posted. they still show it as gulf of mexico if you're in mexico accessing maps.

my point is more that the US has changed the name of the gulf in the US. it is very stupid and meaningless, but it is still officially renamed.

if i look at japan in google maps it says japan, not nipon. why? because that's what we call it here. i personally think thats dumb too. we should call countries things by their real names. deutschland, bharat, suomi, etc

nevertheless the gulf is called the gulf of america here, no matter how dumb that is.

i seriously doubt google, who is under active investigation for monopoly and being threatened to be broken up, AND, recently lifted its ban on using its ai in weapons, is interested in keeping the old name of the gulf in protest against trump.

again, i think this entire situation is stupid, and would prefer everyone call it the gulf of mexico, but i also don't think google specifically is doing anything wrong in this specific instance. google is doing plenty else wrong that matters much more.

if im not mistaken, i think i heard google pulls the data from some external database, which changed the name. google didnt change shit, rather the database they use did.

i could be wrong, but i could have sworn i read that somewhere.

also seems rather petty to me to sue an american company for following US policy changes.

to be clear, i think the gulf of america thing is stupid as hell, and petty on trump's part.

Sounds like doge should cut its own funding

A bidet will cut way down on toilet paper use. Source: im an alcoholic man who loves greasy spicy food, and used to use a ton of toiletpaper. Now its often a one or two wipe job.

So the difference here is you are manually doing a thing for your backups. Using a self hosted server and something like immich will seamlessly do it for you. If you drop your phone in the toilet and it breaks, the photos you took since your last manual backup would be saved.

Immich isnt meant to be a photo gallery viewer primarily, it is meant to be a self hosted photo backup service to replace stuff like icloud or google photos. So yeah, dont recommend it as a gallery viewer, recommend it as a selfhosted image backuo service.

I self host a jellyfin service on my nas, and keep all my movies and shows on that nas. I wouldnt be able to fit all that stuff on my phone.

I worked in an office that was paying out the ass for google drive. Setting up a self hosted nextcloud was a great solution and saved them a bunch of money, and still worked as a hands off "cloud solution"

If you dont want to run a separate machine to self host some services thats fine, you dont need to do it. its not for everyone. But plenty of people have reasonable motives for doing it.

Actually here's a better screenshot

 

I recently switched from a pixel 6 to a fairphone 5. There was stuff like a smart screenshot (which worked half the time) and the ability to select text most of the time. The fairphone doesnt have that, and i wonder if its a first party google feature, or if theres a different rom i should use.

I have a program that I wrote, maybe I didn't package it appropriately, but I cannot got it to run. I wrote it on a manjaro install, and tested it on another manjaro install, both were fine. I packaged it with poetry and copied the wheel over.

Today I tried to install it on my nixos surface tablet I use at work. I get this error on installation:

Traceback (most recent call last):                                            File "/home/gzuh/.local/bin/willcallgui", line 5, in <module>

    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

These are the packages i have installed... I'm trying to install it with pipx...

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    vim
    wget
    screen
    google-chrome
    openssh
    blackbox-terminal
    tailscale
    gnome.gnome-tweaks
    imagemagick
    git
    python311Full
    python311Packages.tkinter
    python311Packages.pip
    python311Packages.pipx

  ];

What am i missing?

 

I'm working on a python program, and i need to sync the results to an ipad as a todo list (with checkboxes)

I had been using google keep, and manually copying /pasting the data over from my cli based app. I will be out of the country for 2 weeks, so im updating my software to no longer being cli, and ideally syncing the final list to google keep or something similar, since someone else will be running the software. You know how normies get when they see a terminal window..

tried this googlekeepapi thing i found online, but the authentication was very complicated and i couldn't get it to work. There is no specific reason we need to use google keep, was just the first thing that came to mind when we set this system up, and it works well and is cloud based.

Do yall know of any service where i can programmatically generate checkbox lists, and sync them over the web?

I should note i do not have a server available to self host. could potentially spin something up locally with a raspberry pi, but would prefer not to have another potential point of failure.

Help with VIA macros? (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by dadarobot to c/mechanicalkeyboards@lemmy.ml
 

I just got a cidooo v21 numpad, and was very excited to use macros for OBS.

I have been using alt-z for tap-to-talk in obs, and i set up layer 3 to be obs macros. I want "enter" to be tap to talk ie alt-z. When i press the enter key and keep it held, it only registers as a short tap. I even made sure the macro is set for keydown on both keys.

Whats the simplest way to have the macro report as held for the duration of me holding the enter key?

Edit: potential alternate solution: whats the best way to have different macros for the press and release of the enter key? That way i could simply unmute on press and mute on release

 

I have a client with locally hosted security cameras. There is a DVR box that has a port open and a 3rd party app you can view the cameras from. Traditionally we have been forwarding the port to the WAN via the router there. Its a restaraunt btw.

When the ISP upgrades the router every few years there's a huge headache trying to get the ports back open and bridging the modem and router blah blah blah. Not only this, even though they are supposed to have a static wan ip, it does change from time to time.

What i would like to do is plug in a raspberry pi on the network and forward the DVR's ports somewhere accessable.

Im thinking of something along the lines of wireguard, but just for a single ip/port that i can tunnel over ngrok. Seems doable but i'm having trouble finding the proper terms to google. Port forwarding generally brings up router config, and tunnelling seems to expect you to be on the device who's ports you wish to access.

Any advice?
