Will be published next week with specs & pre-order page

Completely depends on where you are located. What's you country?

 

So... who's excited to finally get detailed specs and pre-order start?

US imported $3.2 billion in goods and exported $595 million. Trade deficit of 2.7 billion Syria, Iran, Venezuela (according to Forbes) were tariffed - despite being already sanctioned.

Can reproduce and just shot the dev of Raccoon an email if we can do anything to fix it on our side. Love when this hopefully is all done within Lemmy natively and redirect services are not needed anymore.

URLs are now prettier - while being fully backwards compatible to the initial path structure.


Edit: Also handling invalid URLs more gracefully now

[–] undone@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Got it.

Updated the issue tracker.

[–] undone@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Absolutely open for that.

But not sure I'm following. Couln't you already define the custom URL as https://lemsha.re/%s and leave GET params empty?

[–] undone@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I like that. Will pick it up for the next update.

Thanks for the shout-out @sag@ani.social

A bit swamped right now, but in my head I'm planning on re-implementing gohug in vuejs and open sourcing the code. The current version was just a weekend hack when I was overjoyed with the change in our thinking that !BuyEuropean@feddit.uk and similar communities are bringing.

Would love to add more functionality like a fully customizable and theme-able speed-dial, search engines, lemmy and mastodon feeds, etc.

Not sure if anybody is interested in a liberated start page though. Will push it forward anyway, for personal use at least. But maybe at glacial pace 😅

 

Just wanted to share some insights after migrating away from Google et al. Curious to hear about others experience.

Please keep a few things in mind when reading this:

  • the goal is not to be perfect - this is a long process that will never stop and it's just the start
  • personally prefer self-hosted open source to alternatives that might be better at avoiding US, but have too much of a negative impact on my productivity
  • you don't have to tackle everything all at once... small steps count too

Sharing this in hopes of inspiring someone to try an alternative or two. Also to hopefully hear about other experiences and what worked best for you.

TL:DR

Migrated from the big G to Vivaldi (browser), Proton (mail), Nextcloud (calendar, full collabora office suite, storage) , Immich (photos), Graphene OS (android).


DONE

Successfully migrated my Google accounts: private (16+ years) and my business Google Workspace - subscription now fully eliminated.

  • Email: For now my emails will be with Proton. I know about the situation with their CEO, but wanted to make use of my standing subscription. Will be easy to switch again once it runs out. Proton import with the included migration tool was a breeze.

  • Calendar: Tried the calendar but sync interval for remotely subscribed calendars is not high enough for my needs. Happy with the Nextcloud calendar feature.

  • Office: Already running a Nextcloud instance for years and enabled contacts + calendar (caldav sync, carddav sync on android) and their office bundle (based on Collabora). Did an in-depth comparison of Cryptpad and Collabora and preferred the latter.

  • Photos: Immich is just so good. Set up an instance for our family and everyone is so happy to not worry about Apple/Google storage subscriptions - and the awesome features immich brings. Handles our combined 130k images/videos well.

  • Cloud storage: Would love a native Proton Drive sync client for Linux. For now my main storage will stay with Nextcloud.

  • OS: Can highly recommend Ubuntu - a bit biased as long-time user. Finally made the switch from stock Android to Graphene OS. Love it so far. Would not recommend it to inexperienced users / non-tech people. Lineage might be more suitable. Love the discussions in this community lately introducing us to /e/OS, Sailfish, PostmarketOS, etc. I hope to see Sailfish and PostmarketOS go mainstream within a few years.

  • Browser: Hard to decide as there are so many schools of thought and very vocal groups. Did some in-depth comparisons and decided to at least break free from Chrome for now. Went with Vivaldi and if they are forced to abandon manifest v2 I have LibreWolf and Floorp already set up as alternatives. Can highly recommend Floccus to sync bookmarks between devices (including mobile).

WIP

  • Notion: Self-hosted AppFlowy looks promising, but have not tested it lately if it covers all my needs.

  • Bitwarden: Hardest to let go for me personally, but might look into Vaultwarden. If Vaultwarden sucks and I really need to ditch Bitwarden it will most likely be Keepass based.

Added Photon UI support today.

Also looked into implementing Mbin support. It's quite straight forward what needs to be done. Can't promise anything soon though.

Do you mind submitting an issue to the repo? https://codeberg.org/lemshare/lemshare

[–] undone@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly not sure how the info about its existence would have reached me. Other than being part of every lemmy instance sign up form maybe. Or might have stumbled upon a mention on the https://join-lemmy.org/ home page. Endorsement there would be awesome.

There are browser extensions that offer similar functionality on a personal level - but even those I only tried after.

Hah. Did not know about lemmyverse.link

I like that they pre-fetch the link metadata. Other than that and the delay option I don't see much difference.

No immediate plans for Mbin support. My plan is to publish the code and make it FOSS, though. Should be quite easy to extend (and self-host if you like).

 

Hey 👋,

I got frustrated with the friction for users from direct links to all the different instances they don't have accounts for and built https://lemsha.re/

It's inspired by matrix.to - but built for Lemmy content.

If a user clicks a lemsha.re link the user will be presented with two options:

  • visit the original link, or
  • view the same content - but on their preferred instance

Hope you find it useful.
