The Switch 2: Is it worth buying? in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] Matt@lemdro.id 3 points 1 month ago

But the Switch was a unique form-factor at the time that did not have direct competition for most of its life. Nintendo essentially created the hybrid handheld console segment. As previously mentioned, there is much more competition this time around, including the much cheaper original Switch.

What are the benefits of a server having multiple public IP addresses? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Matt@lemdro.id 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I just run some simple services, such as Audiobookshelf or Wallabag, behind a reverse proxy. After reading the other comments, it does not look like there would be any benefit for my use case.

What are the benefits of a server having multiple public IP addresses? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Matt@lemdro.id 10 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Yes, I have always used a reverse proxy which seems to eliminate the need for multiple IP addresses. It seems like having multiple IP addresses just creates additional cost and complexity, but I have seen many VPS providers offer multiple IP addresses, so I was curious if there was a use case that I was not aware of.

Report: Apple May Finally Announce Vision Pro VR Controller Support Next Week in c/virtualreality@lemmy.world

I’ll take it if it means finally being able to buy replacement PS VR2 controllers.

Proton Drive does not support Linux…

I think there is early beta support in Rclone, but I have seen many reports of it not working well.

Pocket shutting down in c/technology@lemmy.ml
[–] Matt@lemdro.id 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I am currently trying Wallabag and like it so far. Being able to self-host it is definitely a plus. I also like how clean and simple it is compared to how bloated Pocket has become, but it does not have the official integration with Kobo. It looks like there is a way to use Wallabag by installing KOReader. I will look more into that if I decide to stick with Wallabag long-term.

PlayStation Stars coming to a close as SIE evaluates new ways to evolve future Loyalty Program efforts in c/playstation@lemmy.world
[–] Matt@lemdro.id 5 points 1 month ago

I registered when it released, but never really understood the purpose of the program. I still have not earned enough points for a $5 gift card. I was disappointed when they shut down Sony Rewards, but Stars is completely useless as far as I am concerned.

FOX UNVEILS NAME OF NEW STREAMING SERVICE - FOX ONE in c/Television@lemm.ee

At least they didn’t call it Fox+.

Turns out that making Google search unusable was an intentional strategy by the company. in c/technology@lemmy.ml

Brave uses their own index. Qwant and Ecosia have partnered to build their own index as well.

T‑Mobile and Metro Unveil New Plans with More Value and a 5-Year Price Guarantee in c/t_mobile@lemmy.ml
[–] Matt@lemdro.id 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Prepaid plans are great and have been getting more competitive over the last few years. Postpaid does not make sense unless you need at least 3 or 4 lines.

“I am still alive”: Users say T-Mobile must pay for killing “lifetime” price lock (arstechnica.com)
 

T-Mobile promised users who bought certain mobile plans that it would never raise their prices for as long as they lived—but then raised their prices this year. So it's no surprise that 2,000 T-Mobile customers complained to the government about a price hike on plans that were advertised as having a lifetime price lock.

Syncthing for Android discontinued (github.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemdro.id/post/14305957

Per the GitHub readme:

This app is discontinued. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version. Interactions (issues, PRs) are limited now, and the entire repo will be archived after the last release. Thus all contributions are preserved for any future (re)use. The forum is still open for discussions and questions. I would kindly ask you to refrain from trying to challenge the decision or asking "why-type" questions - I wont engage with them.

The reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.

Thanks a lot to everyone who ever contributed to this app!

This is extremely disappointing news. I have been using the Syncthing-Fork version, but since it is based on this app, this may be the end for that app as well.

1 day left on Kickstarter for Michael Lucas’s next book: Run Your Own Mail Server (www.kickstarter.com)
 

Michael Lucas has a long history of writing books about BSD and networking including Absolute FreeBSD, Networking for Systems Administrators, and SSH Mastery, among many others. He is working on his next book: Run Your Own Mail Server: A Book for Independence & Privacy.

Summary: Running your own mail server is not only an act of defiance against some of the largest exploitative companies in history. It is not a mere education in protocols. Email is essential to modern industrial society. By running your own email, you seize control of your communications. You can tune your email to fit your needs, rather than accepting the defaults imposed by a company that exploits you without a speck of consideration for any of your issues. You own it. Running your own email requires only freely available tools, a server, and some knowledge. This book will give you that knowledge.
