The android app just started throwing an error saying upgrade to version 3.7.0+ to sync. But the published version in play store and fdroid is 3.6.21. Was this mistakenly merged in from the dev branch maybe? And why would you break sync instead of making it backwards compatible? That could mess up someone with a selfhosted solution that can't conveniently update.

Sync from linux desktop app seems to be working.

Edit: at least one of the devs seems to be aware of the issue. I guess it isn't a quick fix, so they are suggesting android users manually install the pre-release package to fix this bug in the meantime. https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/15753

I recently found the author clock, and it inspired me to do my own version. I won't actually bother with the clock function; just an e-ink display in my living room I can control. Something I can feed whatever text I like and have it rotate periodically. From a quick look around, I'm finding Waveshare, Inkbox, and TRMNL. I'm looking for something I can have some degree of remote control over so I don't have to go plug it in constantly. It seems like all three can achieve this. I don't love the looks of the Inkbox or TRMNL, and they're more expensive. The wooden housing on the author clock would look really nice in my space and I'd love to recreate that. But I wanted to see how difficult it is to frame up, set up, and maintain a Waveshare before I dive in. Particularly since it seems that you need to integrate a pi for those.

Looking to upgrade my faithful old FC11C. The switch is starting to have problems and I'd like something with a bit more output. I actually love the featureset of the Loop Gear SK05 Pro, but for my EDC use case no moonlight mode is a death sentence.

After shopping around I land between the ec200 and a D4. I like that the ec200 has most everything I want in a non-enthusiast package - notably apart from the D4, USB charging. I dislike the lack of ramping brightness and lack of a shortcut to the lowest moonlight. Looking at the D4v2 or D4K, I'm concerned that the head is 28mm. I carry to the outside of my back pocket and don't want something that's going to be uncomfortable. I note that while they have different body sizes, both models have the same head size. My other concern is reliability. I know that in a lot of hobbies the enthusiast grade equipment can be prone to having problems and needing frequent tinkering to keep working well.

If I were to end up with a D4, is there a good list somewhere explaining all the options and a comparison of emitters? What about for batteries?

Needs:

• Magnetic tailcap
• Moonlight mode
• Deep carry clip

Wants:

• High CRI
• Ramping brightness
• USB-C charging
• (Easily) swappable battery

My family hosts a modest Audiobookshelf server. When we tried to move from our old Plex server to ABS it was a nightmare. Our library had been built slowly over years and file organization/metadata was a mess. It took us several tools and many hours to get everything in decent shape. I was frustrated that nobody had made a single tool to scrub and clean up an audiobook library. So, I made one!

Notable features:

• Fetch new metadata interactively from Audible or Goodreads
• Generate metadata files
• Recursively find and process files
• Combine chapter files into a single book file
• Convert files to .m4b

This is my first foray into an open source project. I know it's not pretty, and many of the features on my initial wishlist never got finished. But I have the core functionality working enough for my needs, which means I've been putting a lot less time into it. I decided to just release it to the world as is. May it save you much time!

The megathread has lots of great options for aggregators, but doesn't have any individual scanlation groups (Asura scans, Drake scans, Dragon tea, etc). Those are great for broad coverage, but when possible I like to read directly from the group that put in the work to translate.

With lem.ee retiring and several others getting knocked out by DDOS and the like, just wanted to thank the admin team for keeping us sailing smooth

I pack a lunch to work every day. It's tasty and saves money. As I don't have the energy to find something unique, I usually end up taking a sandwich. Looking for ways to elevate my game and/or save money. The sandwich I usually have is a pretty basic ham & cheese, but discussion of all types encouraged!

Bread: I am fond of sub bread over white, and fresh is superior. The bakery sub rolls from walmart are my current winners. I've considered buying a fancy breadmaker - it's cheaper (eventually) and it doesn't get fresher. But I'm not sure if fresh white bread would be better than sub bread.

Ham: I've taken to buying the whole hams that you cook yourself. They're way cheaper per pound than deli ham and great quality. Plus you can flavor to taste. I typically use a pretty basic brown sugar glaze. Cook about one a month depending on size, portion into week sized bags, and freeze.

Cheese: Due to being lactose intolerant, I find myself limited in exploring the wonderful world of cheese. I use cabot brand, which is made nearly lactose free by their process. I enjoy the white and yellow cheddar.

Sauce: I enjoy sauces with a mayo base, but don't love mayo on its own. My current sauce of choice is boar's head honey mustard from Publix. Every other honey mustard I've tried is either too sweet or too mustard-y. I suspect this is because they aren't formulated for sandwiches. I bet I'd love the honey mustard from other delis like subway. And I'd love to find some new sauces that I can make myself and adjust the flavor to my liking!

Extras: Personally, I've never liked many toppings - tomatoes, pickles, olives, raw onion, peppers, etc. Lettuce and spinach offer a nice crunch and some refreshment.

Running joplin and memos in docker, routed through nginx. Since I don't own a domain I'm just using my public ip with ports and port forwarding. Joplin was throwing the same invalid origin error, but worked after I set APP_BASE_URL: http://<IP>:<port>. I tried setting SITE_URL=http://<IP>:<port2> under environment, which I've read is supposed to fix this exact problem. Same error. The error displays the correct address including port number, so I know that's being passed correctly. I've tried several different variations of the Host, Origin, and Referer header without success. Just for fun I tried directly exposing <port2> on the memos instance and it opened right up in the browser.

PS: Yes, I know I should be using https. I'm lazy. Setting up a cert is on the old todo list.

There are lots of articles on the best value cuts to buy. What I want to know is, which store is bringing the best value for a given cut? I'm based out of the south, so I've got lots of great options. walmart, publix, sam's club, piggly wiggly, aldi. I know historically local butchers have been the place to get the deals. The butchers in my area seem quite expensive. I think they're bringing custom orders to the table more than best value on a standard cut. So, in your opinion, which stores offer the best price:quality? Is there a particular grade, label, certification, or anything like that to watch out for?

I picked day one up as a journaling app many years ago, and have enjoyed it. But I've now mostly left the apple ecosystem and I'm ready for a new solution. An important feature to me is the calendar view that both shows you what days you have entries for and allows you to see previous year's entries on a day. The lack of this feature knocks out the most recommended alternatives on this community (joplin, obsidian, and logseq come to mind). Journey cloud and diarium are strong picks, but I'd prefer non proprietary and stronger self hosting support. Along with better platform availability. Memoria is also in consideration, but the documentation is pretty light and it's hard to tell if it will function in the way I expect. Likewise with memos, which I've seen suggested on here.

Needs:

• Usable on linux (I can live with a web app)
• Calendar view showing days with entries
• Encryption
• Cloud sync functionality (no local only apps like rednotebook)

Nice to haves:

• Proper app for linux, android, ios
• Ability to import a day one backup, preserving my 5 or so years of journal history
• FOSS
• Selfhostable
• Support for media (primarily photos)
• Prompts for password on every launch
• Equivalent to "on this day" feature allowing you to view previous entries on a day

Edit: Tried pretty much every option out there, didn't care for any of them. Ended up using obsidian with the diarian plugin. It's proprietary and I'm not sure about image support, but all other items are achievable through a combination of plugins (I think). I discovered Day One actually has a web app now, which I planned to use. Unfortunately it has lag that makes typing unpleasant. A shame, as I love Automattic and would have been happy to continue supporting their product.

Bug report: search function is yielding no results

Federation question: Do we federate with lemmy.garudalinux.org? If not, could we? And is there a list somewhere of all actively federated instances so I don't have to bug y'all asking about it?

(bonus) Praise: things are zippy and zingy after the provider switch! Appreciate y'alls hard work keeping the instance going.
