3Camels was, maybe still is, fully dependent on the Amazon affiliate program. A program that was reduced at one point, killed off 3Camels competitors, but not 3Camels. Then Amazon asked them to stop tracking during Covid for a time which they did.

This is around the time that I heard about Keepa which has a different model, not solely Amazon but other stores too, and not paid via affiliates program.

Also it’s just faster. 3Cs was getting super slow to notify. You’d get an email, click and surprise, that sale was over yesterday.

I probably heard about the controversy on Reddit at the time but there’s a chance I found this site here which covers some of my recollections.

There’s Instapaper and once upon a time they even gave you an email address to send links into. Maybe they still do that.

Keepa is better, and depending on whether you’re conspiratorial, not compromised as 3Camels was accused of some years ago.

“a stainless… steel… WOK.”

I’m going to need a supercut of this guy saying “WOK”.

Their email and even their “Plex: Free vs Paid” page is confusing. However, the “Requirements for Remote Playback of Personal Media“ is more clear.

I do not have a Plex Pass, but I stream remotely from a Plex Media Server

To stream video remotely from a Plex Media Server, you will need either a Remote Watch Pass or Plex Pass subscription on your account or the admin of the Plex Media Server from which you stream will need a Plex Pass subscription on their account.

I’m coming back to add another request idea:

Ability to search Saved posts.

I save a lot of useful things on Lemmy but it’s difficult to find again later. You can’t search Saved Posts in this app nor on the website and you can’t set up an RSS feed like on Reddit to get the articles/posts out to somewhere else.

Even if you know the precise title of the post, general search on Lemmy almost never brings it up in the results.

I think Voyager could certainly help compensate for this shortcoming in Lemmy.

Right you are, thanks!!

One of favourite apps!

Two requests:

1. Ability to open shared Lemmy URLs in Voyager, via share sheet to the app, iMessage extension maybe too, and clipboard recognition once in the app although this might have privacy issues I suppose. My family sends a lot of Lemmy links via iMessage and it’s annoying having to load the page, tap the image, close the tab after and return to iMessage to comment. I remember Apollo having something better with this.
2. Block community on a post from an All, Local or Home feed. Right now you have to tap into the sub/community and then tap ellipses to get the block function.

Another thing is better search but I believe Voyager might be doing the best that it can right now compensating for the terrible search in Lemmy. And that terrible search might also be a byproduct of the federated instances (sync time, different restrictions, etc) which I guess is an acceptable trade-off for now if so.

No major celebrities, I suppose.

Stephen Colbert’s bit was exceptionally well crafted. I recall it being one of the few that Chevy actually reacted well to.

Colbert still said all the true shit on everyone’s mind but wrapped it up nicely in the joke.

Seems like it may have been the firmware after all. I updated it and it seems to maintain a consistent connection now.

Thanks for the tip. I think I just assumed the firmware was up-to-date when I dusted it off and connected it to the Deck last year.

But I looked into it, found the batch file script that’s out there now that Valve doesn’t support firmware updates directly anymore, and ran the last firmware on it.

I have been trying it out and so far so good. Thanks again!

I have mine still, dongle too, but it started constantly dropping the connection to the Steam Deck and I can’t figure out why.

Maybe this is how it dies, not with a bang but with a whimper.

Oh god, me too. Fixing that and how having it connected to my TV disrupts every other device connected to it for some reason (HDMI-CEC problems maybe).

Yes, right beside the “Turbo” button that you’d never turn off (I mean, why would you).

Some of those were cylinder keyboard locks, like the old bike locks that were vulnerable to the Bic pen trick.

A colleague of mine just pointed this app out. I love that this exists.

But make sure to dig into the additional info and draw your own conclusions.

For instance, it ranked Pure Life water (a typical bottle of water) at 65/100 because it contained sodium bicarbonate. This is something in the category of emulsifiers, a category that one study related to breast cancer, a preliminary study noted to have discrepancies. That’s a few leaps of correlation via a single one-time study with documented issues.

Anyway, I’d say the app is still worthwhile then having no easy guidance on product health and safety.

This is great! Thank you so much for giving me some direction here.

I’m going to give this a whirl on one of the units and see how it goes.

Thanks, that’s very kind of you to offer.

I’ve got quite a few older machines. I’m pretty keen to figure out the top four, at least.

Any advice on the following and/or on the method of identifying viable distros and versions in general is very appreciated.

• MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53 GHz, Mid 2009)
• iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009)
• Mac mini Server (Mid 2010)
• MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2013)
• MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)
• iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)
• Mac mini 2018

Question for you guys.

How do you know which version to install relative to the hardware? Is it just trial and error?

I have some 13 year old Macs but I’m not sure which distro and version to go with and I’m not keen on spending days figuring it out.

I recall reading another post from some guy who went through like six installs with various problems. Didn’t seem encouraging.

You can self-host Feedbin or you can get a paid account for $30 USD.

Lots of great functionality built-in. I use Unread app for iOS as the front-end instead of Feedbin’s web app. A paid Unread account would also give you RSS feed hosting, but less feature rich.
