I'm impressed with PiGallery2, I was looking for a non-platform lock-in method to share public photos, and this just plain old worked!
Thoughts?
The aim for something that isn't lock in meant no rearranging or renaming my photos, no full dependency on an SQL Database. If I move on later, with PiGallery I'll still just have folders of photos, as is, no data exports etc. required.
I'll write about it in more detail soon...
I've setup a new Mastodon server on mastodon.online. The idea is to provide another space for people who would've landed on mastodon.social but can't because it's closed.
Even though I am currently in charge of both there are still logical and infrastructural separations between the two that give this move meaning in the context of decentralization.
Not to mention I've already scaled to mastodon.social's size once, so it would be easier for me to do again than to scale mastodon.social further.
We know many of you are waiting for #PinePhone @ubports CE - it will be shipping very soon. Meanwhile, here are pictures taken the day production wrapped up. We're not going to spoil the phenomenal box design for this CE (by @cibersheep on Twitter) however, pictures don't do it justice.

@comment Interesting read, I've had awkward discussions with some, generally non-tech folks, that are oddly (to me), more concerned with potential chinese spying vs well established NSA and eyes monitoring.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Privacy allows us to set limits between our professional and personal spaces, to be free to work with dignity and to be free to rest.

@kev Good read, I've been having the same debates, as I started to create seperate blogs, with TechZerker being about Tech amd Games, then a seperate general personally rambling blog, and then an Auto and Racing one... but I'm thinking similar... TechZerker is my main online ID beyond real name, so maybe it too just becomes an everything blog, and tags can help seperate if someone only wants to see Tech or Racing related content... hmm.
@comment Well written, not relying on tracking and metric based advertising I find helps quality, as the driver does not exist to over "SEO" content to get views and clicks. I'm ok with the quantity of content, in his time, Marcus Aurilus wasn't writing daily ever expecting his words to be read by others.

#Sengi 0.29.0 is out! 🙂
Thanks to Yannick A. the desktop version is now providing scaling!
Please download and install manually this version since this affect the Electron part and not the WebApp itself (Snap users you don't have anything to do 😉).
Also there is some minor fixes, like adding the escape hotkey when viewing media (thx @LienRag for the idea).
@kev Hah, I'll watch for the transition, as I already added The Meta to my Miniflux RSS server :P
There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to VPNs. Just like email, there are many VPN services out there and you should choose the service that works best for you. https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/choosing-vpn-thats-right-you
It seems like our new #AMD laptop model BA15 is fairly popular right now and the web shop is slightly overwhelmed as well.
Thanks, Hackernews! 😉
(We're working on it, of course.)
