@juliewebgirl Found this out in a similar fashion a few weeks ago. I scanned a case of water and just put it in cart. I got flagged, employee came over, looked at a video that was from a camera directly above the scanner that's had my hand/body movements.

I want to learn some #selfhosting things. I like tips and tools for #productivity. I've been puttering around with private knowledge management(#pkm) too!

Announcing: https://justaqrcode.com.
Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.
My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!
@Appeasing3819 I'm just starting with sqlite. No server needed and will handle whatever I manage to throw at it. I don't have enough knowledge to see any downsides for my little use case.
@Appeasing3819 I'm working on similar database for my personal stuff. I'm starting with just using syncthing to sync files and using python scripts to load the data into database. Webhooks been on the mind but I just don't know enough about origrainf to deal with it yet. Baby steps.

A while ago I tried and gave up Pocket, which led to a series of false starts with save-articles solutions. I landed on Wallabag, and I've been very happy with self-hosting it.
One of my favorite features: it generates RSS feeds per tag and for favorites!
@scy I just started learning Python(first language too) and using Todoist as motivator since I've used it for so long. I plan on changing over to Vikunja soon. I look forward to what you publish!
After six years of owning a server I finally put it on a UPS. My new residence has had more power outages in two years than my old residence of twelve years... Kinda freaked me out so I finally spent the money to be somewhat protected. #selfhosted #selfhosting
@elibtronic but other things must be done first! 😡

On a radio news podcast this morning (don't remember which), they mentioned that Facebook's new "community notes" non-moderation feature is not just copying Twitter's but it will also use Twitter's OSS code....
Searching briefly, they clearly mean this:
https://github.com/twitter/communitynotes
But I don't think I have ever seen or heard an outside analysis of this project. Is there one? Have other real-world networks looked at it & kicked the tires any?
I'm going to spend some time today learning about JSON, the app timeto.me, and postres. https://github.com/Medvedev91/timeto.me
The app is a #opensource timer that is running 24/7. You select your activity and it keeps a timer that activity until you change your activity. It can work as a #pomodoro, has #checklist, #goals, tasks, and a #calendar. Every activity can be customized which I love.
When I first started using it a few months ago I was into it and tracking everything but that got overwhelming. I slowly backed off on the granularity of what I was tracking and then made an activity called "not tracking"! 😅 Recently I've started to track things that are important to me. Reading, family time, hobby work, ect.
I have this #project where I'm shoving data about myself into a database so I can make pretty little charts about myself. I think putting this data into the database will encourage me to use timeto.me more. It's a fun loop that I've discovered that if I put data into a database, I do more of the thing(track food, track activities, track exercise) because I want to get more data into the database!
The #foss app is available on Android and iOS. It's in active development and has been around for two years.
@amerpie I'm still in the inbetween trying to decide if I like nested tags 😂 It's a on and off relationship.
