The linked post essentially performed a benchmark of lemmy apps and if they properly display the formating options available. Sync got 3rd last place, position 18 out of 20 apps, with a score of 6.9 out of 10. There's a comment that essentially contains the test set. I hope we get some fixes, cause some of the problems have been around for a while.

In my personal experience the issues with spoiler tags, and some of the embedded images and their sizes is rather annoying. For example this comment shows perfectly fine on desktop, but becomes a garbled mess on sync (as you can tell by my comment, blaming the bot). Also note that while sync technically gets 3/3 for the images, the last image should be text-sized between the "arrows". It isn't, it's just huge (and consequently a pixelated mess).

Edit: fixed link to example comment for spoiler.

I remember that Asus did this back in the day at least, not sure if they still do. But I remember having rss feeds for at least 2 of my motherboards in my reader, back when rss was actually widely used. It's been like 10-15 years though...

Arguably gambling.

It's also numbers. YouTube has given creators tools to literally benchmark thumbnails. You can just see which one does better. The vast majority of people unfortunately are susceptible to the same patterns. In the end, you need people to click on your video or they can't watch it (which is the point here, to inform people). So here we are.

For example, thumbnails with faces work much better than without (doesn't really matter what or who the face is). I find that monumentally stupid and weird, it just is what it is.

I didn't initially read the title and guessed it was "new world order beyond heavy metal". Reasonably close I'd say.

Well there more than one solution, if you want it. First of all, podman actually works fine with docker compose files. There may be some adjustments needed in other places, because despite the claim of being "a drop in docker replacement", it just isn't (quite). So assuming you install docker compose (not docker), you can just "docker-compose up" (note the dash) and it should work. Should.

Your can also just spin up a VM and install docker with compose in there, just for testing and/or running immich.

QOwnNotes for me. Also such a catchy name. Seriously though, ignore the stupid name, just give it a try.

"Immich" might be a real option, I don't quite understand why you think it's overkill?

I mean syncthing has been mentioned plenty, but of course Nextcloud also solves the problem. It's can't truly sync a folder, but it works fine for backing up photos and videos.

Problem is it wouldn't be the "good stuff" that remains. So good luck with your utopian dreams.

If you got your way, the vast majority of the Internet would disappear together with the advertising. The Internet runs on advertising. If it stops being viable, so does the Internet as a whole. How do you think all these free services are funded?

The trick is to take the privacy violating and tracking part out of it. If you block ads, that doesn't matter. If a few tech savvy people do, it doesn't matter. If literally everyone does, it suddenly matters a lot.

Of course they are working with one of the advertising giants, that's the point. That's who the solution is for. If none of them would accept it, it might as well not exist.

Yeah. Some services you kinda want accessible directly, but ssh really isn't one of them. Even though it should be safe, as that's it's intended purpose, putting a VPN in front of it makes a lot of sense, especially with how easy it is to setup these days. Anything used for administration is systems should be behind one.

Because they don't want you to host things at your house, even though that's perfectly fine from a technical standpoint. They might want to sell you a "business" line for this, or they just don't want the traffic (since at least in my area, traffic is always included in any home Internet connection).

Of course they can interact with it just fine, look at "sponsorblock" plug-in. It would also solve this problem completely. It already exists and works well, it just isn't "AI" nonsense.
