I have the og PineTime, and in my opinion, we don’t really need better hardware. What we need is better software!

We will win when nobody can tell you what you can or can’t put in your own fucking device.

I wish it was only football streams. They are blocking a ton of unrelated sites as a colateral damage. Most webs behind Cloudflare are blocked and stop working most weekends. This is a horrible violation to the network neutrality, and we should do something about it. If you think you are safe because this is still not happening in your country, think again. There’s a lot of people interested in this kind of censorship, and what’s happening in Spain sets a precedent and opens the floodgates for the rest of the countries (or, in this case, megacorps) to do the same.

Between chat control and this, things are getting out of hand FAST. We have to do something.

I really enjoyed both parts of the article. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

Monica is where I started at. I was really hoping that it would cover my needs, but after some time of using it I found it too complex for what I really needed. Also, I was missing the network graph, which might be useful or not, but it’s fun :)

Also, when I tried self-hosting it I found a lot of problems when trying to make it work, and at the end I gave up. It feels like the project is a bit outdated.

Honestly, what I wanted is Monica to cover my needs, so I didn’t have to start an alternative, but here we are 😆

I absolutely agree. You can find some parts of the show with the laugh track removed on YouTube, and it’s amazing to realise how unfunny the jokes really are.
