I’ll be honest, I’m just here for the memes.

  • I’ve been interested in doing this, but I can’t tell why I need to login to Beeper in order to self host. I noticed their previous self-host solution did not require that.

    Because of that login step, I decided to look into this other repo which uses Ansible to deploy a Matrix homeserver and the same bridges that Beeper uses. I haven’t finished it yet since there’s a lot of config and choices to make, but it seems like it’ll serve the same end goal.

    Edit: lol, maybe if I read the intro, I’ll get my answer.

    You can connect any† standard Matrix application service to your Beeper account without having to self-host a whole Matrix homeserver.

    Still might go with the second option so that I don’t rely on their cloud services.


  • I think NLPs have been less helpful for me. Like I’ll go to work and it’ll think I’m in another state (our internet uses the same IP as our headquarters, and the SSID is the same for all locations). Not sure why it can’t reject the bad guess when it sees how off it is from my GPS coordinate.


  • In simple terms, it’s like a VM for an application. You set it up with the right dependencies and your application will “just work” on it, without having to deal with other applications existing alongside it.

    What makes it better than a VM is that it is much faster. It interfaces with kernel features that help isolate the processes and files from the rest of the system. It is not virtualization, rather it is namespacing.

    Docker also provides a bunch of tools that help with creating this environment automatically and allowing for some escaping into the host, such as binding ports and sharing data with the host’s file system.

    Once this environment is created, it can be shared with uses as a single downloadable bundle, called an image. This makes it really easy to download and run an application without having to prepare your system with the right dependencies and files.

    Nothing is free though, and the cost here is more disk space and some performance overhead, although it is close to native speed.







  • They are tracking support for other OSes, and I took a look at the Linux roadmap, and they’ve made some good headway from the last time I looked. I would use it for its UI performance. I don’t like how everything these days use Electron. It also supports Language Server Protocol, so adding extensions for languages should be fairly simple for the community to do. The multiple collaboration seems cool too, although I think most devs would seldom use it.


  • If you haven’t done much writing to the SD card, you may be able to recover the data. Data isn’t really “deleted”, it is just labeled as deleted. There is software that can comb through the raw data and try to make sense of what files were there. I don’t know of any specific software, so if anyone knows, please reply

    Edit: Another commenter mentioned some success with DMDE

    Edit 2: Worth mentioning that this is true of formats. As long as it doesn’t zero out the entire media, it just edits the file system metadata to say there are no files.






  • I regularly use wireless earbuds, which are extremely convenient, but I am not looking forward to the day when the battery is insufficient for me and I can’t replace it due to “innovation”. I also miss out on having splitters so that 2 people can listen to the same audio. I know Bluetooth LE is supposed to fix that, but I don’t even know what devices support that. Like others said, having the choice is important, but Apple’s “bravery” and market domination removed that from us…
