eodur , to Technology in YouTube's next move might make it virtually impossible to block ads

I like this idea so much. Do the public libraries not have some kind of video service already? Seems like a network of library-powered PeerTube instances would serve that niche really well.

eodur , to Technology in Chrome: 72 hours to update or delete your browser.

Ah. I still have a "gmail" account but it's entirely for the places that require a Google account now.

As for YouTube, I just stumbled across this thread: https://lemmy.zip/post/16741291

I highly recommend looking at something like Proton for 3 and 4. Or backblaze for 4 if it's truly for backup.

eodur , to Technology in Samsung is sunsetting Tizen and fully ending support for the smartwatch OS

I have mine working with Navidrone without any issues.

There is a Home Assistant app for Garmin watches that is pretty usable. The flashlight is surpassingly, hilariously, one of my favorite features though.

eodur , to Technology in Amazon plans to give Alexa an AI overhaul — and a monthly subscription price

Home Assistant is a great alternative. It gets better and better as all Google and Alexa get worse and worse.

eodur , to Selfhosted in I built a smart mailbox

It's the THIRDREALITY Motion Sensor https://a.co/d/giK2dvw. It's worked really well so far.

eodur , to Selfhosted in I built a smart mailbox

Neat. I did something similar but simpler. I put a cheap zigbee motion detector in the mailbox and hooked it to a routine to toggle a flag and trigger a notification. Yours sounds like more fun though.

eodur , to Selfhosted in Need good solutions for sharing photos with family

Totally agree. I run both Immich and Nextcloud. Both are great.

eodur , to Selfhosted in Need good solutions for sharing photos with family

For image hosting I would look at Immich. It aims to be a full Google Photos replacement. It isn't quite there yet, but it is quite featureful and rapidly improving.

eodur , to Selfhosted in I made wanderer - a self-hosted trail and GPS track database

If you just like the personal heat map then checkout grrrmin_heatmap. It's a pretty flexible python script for generating them.

eodur , to Technology in Google has replaced the Google Assistant app on Android with Gemini by default

What phone functions are you interested in? In theory if you can control it from HA you can control it from Assist. Sometimes it requires a bit more elbow grease though. I don't use timers much, so I haven't tried that. I don't see why you couldn't create a custom sentence and intent for it though.

I've already replaced It with Home Assistant. Wake words are still shaky, but everything else is at least as good if you're willing to configure it. At least for my use cases.
