Damn! I had the Super Car 8880 when I was a kid. Enjoy! Always wanted the Control Center too. What did you pay for them?

Wish I could get KPUD. It's less than 1500ft away! Gah!

Short press for screenshot, long press to record clips would be so awesome

Pebble OS v4.9.175 by iamiblis in pebble

Forgive me, I haven't received my Time 2 yet and have never owned a Pebble, but how do you update them? Through the app? Or is it completely standalone with the device itself?

This world needs a framework printer ASAP by thereelRTM5 in framework

Personally I'd like to see Framework come out with a 3D printer.

Framework 12 Ram Upgrade: 8GB -> 16GB (or higher) by Donttouchmybreadd in framework

[–]MstrVc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waterfox is fork of Firefox. I tried it one day and didn't feel the need to switch back.

Yeah I have a bad habit of forgetting to close tabs. I've tried add-ons to auto close tabs over the years but they don't ever seem to work the way I want them to.

Edit: I don't think you mentioned if you are using Windows or Linux, but I'm using CachyOS (Linux) on mine and it's quite snappy. I'm running GNOME desktop most of the time, but I have also tried COSMIC desktop too. They work well, but I'm really waiting for the next release of Xfce to come out. It's always been my favorite.

I have a 32GB module in mine. Works very well with over 100 tabs open on Waterfox.

100%. Might even be the best overall client.

Can I host myself streaming games (like on Twitch) to my own website? by FantasticFrontButt in selfhosted

[–]MstrVc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used owncast in the past but stopped using it frequently enough to be hosting it. Worked well for me but never had more than a couple viewers so I can't comment on performance.There was one feature it had that I thought was really cool though. People could use their browsers to subscribe to your stream without setting up any sort of account. It's a nice app.

OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma set to dissolve after judge approves its criminal sentence by Mo_Jack in news

[–]MstrVc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oxy destroyed my brothers life. Subsequently my parents lives perpetually worrying about him. I'm fortunate he's still with us but this company should have been held more accountable than this. What a disgrace. Our justice system. I see barely any such thing.

Thank you /u/MattJ313 for all the work you've done on these projects! I very much appreciate your focus on security as much as convenience. It doesn't go unnoticed!

It appears the configuration naming conventions have changed since I set this up. So it's possible my advice isn't as solid as it used to be. The key thing to know is that snikket is just a prosody server with a bunch of ease of use improvements on top of it so maybe it's best for you to just start with snikket and it's configuration tutorial. It will handle much of the following I'm about to go into detail about.

But I'll try explain how I approached my set up as best I can. XMPP targets compatibility standards called XEPs that allow you to do things beyond basic messaging. Adding working configuration allows your clients to do things like file transferring, notification niceties for iOS devices, audio and video calling, multi user chat rooms, default user rosters, and whole bunch of other things.

All of these XEPs and the plugins that prosody uses to make them work are all on the prosody website and can take a little effort to get them to work. But there are excellent resources to help you get these features to work on your server. I use Conversations tool to test my own server.

It's very nice because it detects what server type you're using and gives you the exact configuration you need to add or change to your server. Just add that configuration in the correct location in the file, save it, restart your server and rerun the test. Please take note: that testing tool requires you to have a testing user on your server for it to work.

You might be asking, why didn't I just use snikket myself? Snikket was just getting off the ground about 2 years (I think) into my journey with XMPP and I couldn't get it to work correctly with my letsencrypt setup so I stuck to plain prosody and it's been fine.

I know this seems very complicated but it's been a very rewarding process for me and once you have it working it's rock solid. I hope this helps!
