For the real “TV feeling”, try ErsatzTV. It basically creates multiple real-time streams of TV shows and movies from your media library. You can switch between them like channels.

If you want to play around with different elevator algorithms, there’s Elevator Saga where you can code your own.

I’d probably go retro, use something like Dillo and stick to more classic webpages. Or go full Gopher/Gemini.

That’s what I settled for as well. Keeping my *.kdbx file in iCloud, doing nightly backups to my NAS, and using Strongbox as a client (there’s also KeePassium with similar features) - which beautifully integrates into Apple’s AutoFill API, so it feels native - i.e. as if you’re using Apple’s Passwords app. And I can access all passwords from Windows using KeePassXC as well.

If you host it on a VPS and stop paying the invoices, it’ll go down anyway. However, AFAIK, Bitwarden client apps cache all passwords - so your family would still be able to access them, but there would be no sync back, of course.

Have you considered using something like a KeePass database on a shared drive? Most modern client apps can sync changes seamlessly and there are browser plugins for all the major browsers.

For the curious people like me: AirTrail

I can get almost two Punkt MP02 for that.

Liability ≠ Warranty

Read for yourself!

Samsung will, at its option, either: (1) repair or replace the Product with new or refurbished Product of equal or greater capacity and functionality; or (2) refund the then current market value of the Product at the time the warranty claim is made to Samsung if Samsung is unable to repair or replace the Product.

Yeah, probably. But this doesn’t help much when the damage is already done, i.e. people have already commented bad things. And might even entice people (that might’ve downloaded it) to upload it again. Also, not sure whether this works as easy on e.g. TikTok.

Filming by itself isn’t illegal in Germany, but publishing the footage without consent of everyone in the video is. (“Recht am eigenen Bild”) Don’t know how this applies if the perpetrator is from the USA and publishes the recording there, though.

And even if - good luck in suing someone from the US while you’re still in Germany.

From the linked article:

Two things that aren’t changing: every Strava athlete can still access and download their data for free, at any time – and wearable and device integrations are not affected.

Tell that to some states in the US where there’s a thing called “one-party consent”, i.e. if one party knows about the recording (which the wearer obviously would), it’s legal.

There was a similar news article in Germany a few days ago. It was about a “pick-up artist/dating coach/influencer” named Erick Ronaldo secretly filming some girl at the Oktoberfest and posting it to his channel where that girl was ridiculed in the comments. (Fun fact: when the news media approached that guy and asked for a statement, he demanded $7,500 for an interview - which they, of course, didn’t pay)

For everyone else who’s deep into the Apple world: No iOS app and thus no sync to Apple Health.

I’m running a local SearXNG which still provides usable results. I don’t see the point in paying for what’s basically a smart phone book. If everything fails, I’m going full #oldweb and use #webrings or some of those retro lists.
