  • FWIW I’m not sure I’d be excited that my donations to Lemmy.ca would be spent on disaster relief. Some related projects make sense (other federated communities, online Canadian content ,etc) , but I stopped donating to Wikipedia after getting tired of their tangential charity shit.

    To that end, some ideas

    • Chat Across Canada (CAC? Could do something with sea to sea, as well, although c2c is a band)
    • Canadian Federated Communities, although CFC is bad
    • Canada online
    • Some backronym for CANUCK
    • Federated Canuckistan (okay this one is particularly dumb)

    I’m not sure if the name will make a huge deal if you can do “business” under another name. If the society name is “Lemmy.ca and associated project deployments for Canadians by Canadians” can you “do business” (receive donations to, brand websites as) Lemmy.ca? There’s nothing really unclear about “the Lemmy.ca matrix server” or “an instance of mastodon run by Lemmy.ca”.




  • I’ve got a few on my phone:

    • one for playing a sound when my phone is charged
    • another for starting my Streaks timer when certain reading apps are opened, so that I can track how long I read every day across apps automatically
    • when my Sleep schedule begins (when I’m going to bed), I automatically change the screen colour to grey to help prevent being distracted. When I wake up, it turns that off.
    • I have one HomePod, and I don’t use it much, but it has a temperature sensor and when that goes over 25C I get a notification so I know to turn on the AC

  • They’re dumb, but in a fun way. I created my own preroll video with some music and a silly title card. For me it’s a fun way of celebrating the work I put into my setup (again – I use a very dumb video), but also Plex’s preroll logic alludes me. It doesn’t run all the time.

    Mostly, however, I have trailers play ahead of my movie. It’s a good way of remembering what else is on my server.

    edit: also why, for the love of god, does Plex not pre-buffer the movie during either pre-roll or trailers? It makes no sense!
