Guides helping you to navigate this jumbled mess are possibly outdated

That’s true, but have you ever tried to read Microsoft’s documentation?

It’s a self hosted web app, and that’s not something that’s easy to change once it’s written. The benefits to self hosting are pretty well established, and this type of thing can be accessed from anywhere in the world by multiple devices and always be in sync. For myself, I use this both from a laptop, my desktop and a phone when I’m out - I’m always jotting down thoughts before they fall out of my head. Also, there’s probably a lot of desktop task apps out there already that do tasks, like many Email clients. I don’t mind reinventing a wheel, but not too keen on reinventing all the wheels.

Demo is a fair point, I’ll include that on the wishlist for the future. I think the pictures probably do a fair job of indicating how a task app works - which is basically a way of entering, displaying and ticking off tasks which many people will be familiar with, but perhaps I’m just over familiar with the concept. A self resettable demo might be nice, yes.

Advertising revenue.

At a certain level, it is going to be a chore to determine who is or is not slopping up with AI media. Not every asset comes out with six fingers and a half-melted face.

That’s a good point. I think a lot of people are dismissing AI content because there’s this fallacy and desire to believe it’s all “slop”. It’s willfully ignorant to wave it all away like that. Sure, we’ve all seen the stupid stuff, and it’s really annoying, but we absorb the good stuff without even knowing it. Anyone claiming they can reliably spot AI generated images is fooling themselves even at this early stage.

I’d like to know when something is real, especially real art and even pictures of nature, but I don’t think I can.

Commercial and explicit spam. Report and block.

Thank you for the kind words.

Syncing is a tricky one. The universal method seems to be using caldav, so Taskpony would need to support that as an endpoint. But I haven’t investigate this as the android side of things is complicated - or at least, I found it so when trying exactly that. You need to install third party software (DavX5 is the most common) - which is listed as both free via fdroid and paid via GPlay. That provides the syncing which is then available to other things on the device. Not an unsolveable problem, but I found it fiddly, and kept being nagged to register software to get it working.

But I made an early decision not to replicate things that are done well elsewhere. Caldav has lots of options, the best I found is Radicale which provides unlimited tasklists and calendars, but has no interface. That does tie in well with Thunderbird on desktop and other things, but again, the syncing problem exists on Android. Vikunja and TaskTrove are good projects that do support caldav and multi-users if you do want to go that route.

I wanted Taskpony to be simple to set up. Run a docker compose command and visit a URL - that’s it for LAN use. No reliance on other software apart from a web browser. I can’t achieve that and provide syncing or multi users, sorry. Of course, you and your wife can just use the same instance of Taskpony and have different Lists for personal or shared tasks, then everything is always in sync.

I guess it is getting on a bit, and it’s no longer required by Bootstrap - but it is still a dependency of Datatables, which I adore.

Thank you.

Thank you for the kind words!

CAs exist on trust and trust alone.

This, along with any other mistake, erodes that trust and will have damaged Sectigo’s reputation at least as much as Rustdesk’s.

I doubt there’s any conspiracy or higher figure at work here. Just human error.

Rustdesk will probably have a claim for financial losses and good luck if they pursue that - the admission of a mistake and breach of protocol makes it seem likely to be settled very quickly. The tone of this report suggests that this is somewhere they’ll be heading towards and I suspect Sectigo will pay handsomely to make this story short lived.

Has it added repos that are conflicting with your distro’s main ones?

Check /etc/apt/sources.list and all the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Move anything that looks sus to somewhere else and then “apt-get clean” and retry.

This is exactly why hes done it.

Why would he give a shit what people think about him? Others rich people don’t because when you’ve got enough money you can insulate yourself entirely from what the world thinks.

You don’t know what hes actually responsible for

Nor do the people judging him so harshly.

You don’t see the pharmaceutical investments hes made

The fuck? Why would he donate money and save countless lives just to benefit from it via some claimed business link?

What a ridiculous argument you’ve made here.

Brave of you to hold a nuanced opinion! So many people have a very binary view of others, and Lemmy’s the same, as the downvoting shows.

And yes, totally, he was a typical morally corrupt businessman and one of the first tech bros in a time before most of Lemmy was even born. But he’s also done a lot of good in the second half of his life. People are dismissive of that but they bloody well shouldn’t be.

Who else has contributed $2bn specifically to fight malaria? Nobody. There’s quite a few now who could have helped but nobody else has. The Gates Foundation has also contributed that much again towards fighting Tuberculosis and AIDs. These are big numbers and they’ve had a real effect. Those of us who live comfortable lives are fortunate where these diseases aren’t everyday killers of friends and family and we cannot fully appreciate the benefit this work has done.

Does this offset his earlier negative behaviour? I honestly think it might do.

I have no idea what you’re doing wrong, but I’ve been using Debian for over twenty years and it’s by far the most stable OS I’ve ever used, particularly the update system. I’m currently maintaining around 50 debian systems and never seen an issue you like you’ve posted, so no, there’s nothing average about what your’e saying.

Except many of us use cloudflare tunnels to reach our selfhosted kit from the internet because we’re behind CGNATs…

Thanks for the PSA, genuinely. Have paused updates for now for caution. Hopefully it’s nothing.

(If installed via play, open app in play store, hit three dots and untick “Enable auto updates”)

Good article and a reminder that all might not be as it seems, and I’m glad they’re reporting this to the French Police as well as raising awareness. The language used in the emails do suggest it could be a single zealot rather than a professional body. It also highlights how often “but what about the children?” is used to enact censorship. (Not least by my own government in the UK with the OSA)

I have one issue though;

The complaints against the site look extremely suspicious. In our case, they came from an organization that was only recently registered that seems deliberately set up to hide the identities of those behind it.

Surely anyone registering any online organisation today would want to take reasonable steps to protect their real identity, especially one dealing with such sensitive matters? Anyone thwarted would want that information for malicious ends.

Just installed it.

Went to Reddit, it recommended I use Lemmy. Sounds good.

How the heck is UK European? They left the EU 5 years ago.

Steady that jerky knee there fella, you might want to read that a bit more closely.

The premise is European, not EU. It’s a matter of geography, not politics.
