I've found lots of great open source workout tracking apps, but I'm looking for a program that can show me my times on popular segments like certain bike trails, just as Strava does. Are there any free (and hopefully open source) alternatives?

I have a Steam Deck that is connected to my TV 90% of the time. I'd like to replace this with a PC that has maybe slightly higher specs than the Steam Deck. Are there any pre-built solutions that are really affordable?

I'm looking for an affordable option so I can replace all my normal socks. Not necessarily individual toe socks, but just wide enough in the front to better fit with a wide toe box shoe.

Is it based on ActivityPub? I don't really know much about it other than Jack Dorsey is involved.

I find this ignorance really frustrating that people believe purchasing an electric car is somehow environmentally neutral. People should be educated on the environmental toll of EV production, lithium mining, tire pollution etc.

I trimmed the trunk because it was growing quite tall and spindly. Is there any way to continue growing the main trunk or will it only grow branches now?

I'll be interested to see an open source version of this!

I bought a Pinephone out of curiosity and while it has been fun to play with, I am looking to repurpose it to something else. Has anyone found a good use for it, maybe incorporated into a smart home setup or something along those lines?

I've had a lot of luck with banking apps on GrapheneOS. Worth a try if you haven't already.

This is great! Where do I find it?

Then stand up your own server and govern it as you please.

Unfortunately my furnace (Rheem) only works this way which is so disappointing. I wish it could be cracked so that it could work independently with home assistant.

It does require some configuration within yubikey manager. I did not find it straightforward but once set up its really reliable.

So I can sign up for beeper and connect through Element or another Matrix app of my choosing?

I am looking for a solution to receive WhatsApp messages on my phone. I don't want to install the WhatsApp app on my personal phone, but it is on my work phone and its mandatory for my job. I held out for a long time but it is necessary that I answer messages on there.

Beeper.com is enticing but it appears to have a lot of trackers for an app that claims it respects privacy.

What do you guys think?

no, you're wrong. This organization is basically still experimenting, and they have come a long way over the years. There are also efforts to trap plastics at mouths of rivers to try and slow down polluting the ocean. There is hope yet.

I am looking for a set of wired earbuds with a USBC Jack. I had a set of apple ones with an adapter but I found the adapter too unreliable. This will be for use with a google pixel phone. Anyone got a set they could suggest?

Is the fact that you're using a bridge at all apparent to your WhatsApp friends? Or is nothing different as far as they are concerned? Also, does Element have a setting to prevent pictures and video from being automatically downloaded over cellular data?

It can be a fun project to map out the area you live. I've been working on that over the past couple years and it is fun.

Over in Europe, OSM Is much more mapped out in my opinion. It would be good to see North America catch up.

I cannot wait for the Linux app

For my phone, I use Graphene OS. What would be the best desktop Linux option to match the level of security and privacy that GOS provides?

I find that the brick is so heavy and the connection point doesn't fit very snug, and the power plug falls out quite easily. Anyone else experience this?

I notice the fan going pretty hard all the way through my gaming sessions. I'm curious if the Steam deck will warn me before I do damage to the machine?

I'd like to rely on Google Play Store less, is there an easy way to get proton apps and keep them updated?
