Oh that’s what I was remembering! Aunt Irma

Very cool, and thank you for taking the time to make such a detailed post!

Drip seems to be the leading recommendation. I’ve edited the post with it so people seeing the meme also get the recommendation :)

We should definitely be telling more people about F-Droid, but let’s not get our hopes up

Accessibility (not being on FDroid only) was one of the things I was looking for when looking for recommendations. Thankfully the leading recommendation is on Google Play & iOS App Store :) I have edited the post above with more details

If you are using any Synology products with your setup, you should go ahead and apply the recommended updates

Dear men I need you to go download an app called “Flo” and start using it chaotically. Don’t ask anyone how to use it. Just use it. The more, the better. Let’s Christmas tree that data.

As a software developer who loves to screw the data and a person who will do ANYTHING can to protect women for the next 4 years, I am so excited to begin tracking my manstrual cycle

I’d imagine it’s the same as personal finance apps. A spreadsheet can be enough, and it is enough for a lot of people, but a custom app can make things easier:

• reducing the friction of keeping track
• built in visualizations
• alerts
• integrating the data with other tools

etc.

Something being FOSS doesn’t necessarily mean it’s safe / ethical, but a LOT of FOSS apps are designed with those principles in mind.

However, being FOSS means that if an app claims that it is safe / ethical (ex. In this case, not storing data anywhere but on your device), you or an experienced peer can check the code to verify that fact.

It actually worked for me, thank you for finding that!

I also saw the error message where the thumbnail should be:

Good note, I didn’t notice that in the original post. I edited the title

Huh

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/motel

Blend of motor +‎ hotel, from the original Motel Inn of San Luis Obispo in California, USA, established in 1925 by Arthur Heineman (1878–1974).

While looking for a term to describe the original post, and came across this. I’m going to make a separate post about it

Oh this would be amazing, I was using a third party site.

Would it be possible to get a similar one for the dearrowed version? That was a complaint I got once but didn’t have an easy a solution for: https://lemmy.ca/post/31890393

I loved the translucent things (or even pure transparent)

Found an article with a few more

I wonder if there is any pattern to those numbers

edit: ah I didn’t notice, thanks all :)

I was remembering a different video, but this one was also funny:

There was the attack on the Internet archive recently, are there any good options out there to help mirror some of the data or otherwise provide redundancy?

One option that I’ve heard of in the past

https://archivebox.io/

ArchiveBox is a powerful, self-hosted internet archiving solution to collect, save, and view websites offline.

Honestly that might be more helpful.

I sometimes see the overwritten reddit comments when searching for a topic, and I wish that the comment would link to the person’s new account (wherever they may be) in addition to the usual blurb on whg they aren’t active on reddit anymore

I miss this format
