  • I completely overlooked the android app in the readme, thanks! I have a server set up so can I start local to try it out and migrate to a server later?

    Also is there support for mealie through an authentication platform like authelia?

    Any plans for releasing on F-droid?

    Edit: Oof, you can’t search for foods when making a recipe or meal, hopefully that comes because otherwise it is a huge process to make any custom meal or recipe…




  • Every discussion I have seen on the subject says that docker ipv6 is pretty busted from a security perspective and you have to implement a bunch of workarounds.

    I don’t have to time both to migrate to podman (and maybe have to run dual stacks for what isn’t available) AND migrate to ipv6. But apparently the way podman does it is also kind of a hacky way (I am far from a networking expert) so I will sit with my pretty decent, secure, and working ipv4 lol


  • One thing that people often forget is TVs / stream boxes and Alexa/google assistants.

    Smart TVs all have microphones that are recording (for “voice commands”) and the same with the remotes for stream devices (though probably not unless asked because of battery life), also google and Alexa’s are constantly always listening. They are simply spyware devices that parse everything you say and hand it to advertisers, insurance, governments, etc…

    Phones also suffer from the battery life problem, so jury is still out on whether they listen to you because constantly recording audio would degrade battery life quite a bit (though maybe it is factored in). Phones absolutely do share location data and any phones discovered on the same WiFi network or in the same location if that data was available and from there will share entire search history of devices on the same network (well, that is on the data center end, phones likely just send what devices and for how long they were together). From there it is quite easy to advertised based on search history, unencrypted text data, etc…

    For example in OP, OP had likely searched around about cars and checked out manufacturers websites and such before meeting with the parents (unless they were going in completely blind to dealerships), so it would have shared exactly the cars that they were looking at and linked it to the parents for advertising.

    Still fucked, ethically wrong and legally grey, but “listening” is a bit of an inefficient way to do it, generally.


  • Can you provide one or elaborate on it?

    Embedded developers have tried all manner or wizardry to simply track speed, not even position based just on an accelerometer/gyro, but the sample rate error drift is so large that putting a GPS module in there is 100x more accurate for deriving speed.

    I would be interested to see how a browser, which almost certainly doesn’t get the full serialized data, is able to track just based on that which the wearables industry have been trying for decades with bad results.
