I love Jitsi, as a self-hosted video conferencing service. I have run it for years. But... I use it for perhaps a couple of hours every few weeks. It runs on a relatively low powered box, but still,...

@nprofile1q... 🤔 What about only switching it off for periods when you're not planning on using it? Or does it not respond well to not being on all the time?

I'm contemplating a self-hosted option for use a couple of times a month for scheduled group video calls &, like you, I don't want something to be running 24/7 if I only use it a small fraction of that time.

Went to a cocktail bar last night fully intending to order a cocktail.

Bartender: "We don't have a physical menu. You have to check us out on #Instagram to get the cocktail list."

I find them on Instagram only to discover that it's impossible to see their menu there when not logged in.

I. Don't. Have. An. Instagram. Account.

Me: "Yeah, I'll have a small beer, thanks." (at less than quarter of the price of a cocktail)

🙄 FFS businesses, stop getting captured by #Meta. It hurts your business.

Went in there, nobody pays me any attention, no obvious line to order, no cash register. I’m told I can scan a QR code to download an app ...

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Ditto for the Kobo Clara HD. Not exactly what you're looking for but the best of a bad bunch.

Another option is to get an old model (one that's tougher, doesn't lock into a specific platform, etc) from the era when there was some actual decent choice in the eReader market. @nprofile1q... has a good thread on refurbing old models by replacing batteries, etc.

I doing a John Wick rewatch, by which I mean I'm rewatching films that did better with the John Wick* premise than it did.

The Rover (2014) was first & Pig (2021) will be next.

* the original film, not the clumsily bolted-on sequels.

There should be an episode of every Star Trek where the whole ship falls apart because Scottie, Geordi, Miles, and B'Elanna have been repeatedly forced to do a two day job in two hours.

@nprofile1q... I remember an early episode of Voyager where Janeway asked B'Elanna for a time estimate for work, then told her she had half the time, & B'Elanna was like "No, I told you it will take this long. This is how long it's going to take. I don't pad my numbers." Fucking loved her for that.

"Notepad++ is an open source project without a registered business entity, which makes traditional validation challenging. We’re currently seeking a certificate authority that can issue a code signing certificate directly to “Notepad++” rather than to an individual. If you’re able to provide such a certificate, or know an organization that can, please don’t hesitate to get in touch - we’d greatly appreciate your help."
