CocaineShrimp@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it better or worse for your vision to display text on your smart phone as small as possible?English7·3 days agoMight be just a rumor / old wives tale, but I thought the small text on screens / pages up close, without breaks, resulted in poor vision?

Let me get this straight - Synology is trying to make their NASs only work with their own proprietary hard drives? Do they not realize that there are boat loads of other companies out there making NASs and Hard Drives?
Who the hell is going to want to buy a Synology NAS now? Ffs, some of these companies are so delusional…

CocaineShrimp@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?English15·13 days agoI fully agree - home assistant is the way to go, even if it’s a little more complicated.
It’s much easier to add / remove / replace hubs as needed. A few years ago I switched my main hub from Alexa to HA. Then, a month or two ago, I decided to move away from Alexa due to the speech to text recognition noticeably degrading, they removed features (I forget what the feature was, it was a while ago), and recent policy changes. Super easy to disconnect and switch to a different assistant like Siri / HomeKit.

I’m currently self hosting ArchiveBox which saves a copy of the web page, but I find the UI to be pretty bloated. As an alternative, I’ve been curious about LinkWarden, but I have yet to set it up.
I know those two options aren’t ideal as they don’t directly integrate with NextCloud AFAIK, but they might support your other use cases?
