Thank you so much for taking the time to answer!

I’m not sure how to get the N from session history, nor how to check my session history…

but this might be some relevant output I’ve found with journalctl -k -b

The output is from yesterday, when the device stopped working correctly.

I’m not familiar with linux kernel, but I can see there is definitely something wrong…

The HDD (old) is attached to a USB hub (new), I tried switching port of the hub but the same issue happened again, if I try to mount it with sudo mount /mnt/2tb, it says it is already mounted:

mount: /mnt/2tb: /dev/sdb1 already mounted on /mnt/2tb.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

sudo dmesg | grep sdb gives back:

[147776.801028] I/O error, dev sdb, sector 77904 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x3000 phys_seg 1 prio class 2

I will add another amazing alternative i’ve found, currently working great: https://www.distractionfreeapps.com/ This was exactly what i was looking for.

What about sexual and emotional education in schools?

Yeah sure, you have to trust your users

I like Debian with GNOME

Badum tssss

Video editing softwares definetely, kdenlive is nothing compared to stuff like sony vegas.

I guess probably, because Matrix is thought for private chatting, i guess someone else might have had this same idea, i think matrix is opensource so there must be some client that does this.

I mean theoretically if you are hosting your own chat server, for example on Matrix, you can easily make all the chats unaccessible from the clients by issuing a command to shutdown your server or simply the chat server service if there’s no content cached locally.

I think you can do this pretty easily with a raspberry pi by connecting via ssh…

Just use a shell script that changes the static ip to something else after the command to shutdown the service/wipe out the data (depending on what your goal is) has been issued, or use a vpn or something like that if possible, because anyone issuing the command would need to know your server ip.

And issuing a command by ssh to a remote server both from smartphone or pc should be as easy that you can actually build a very small app for that, or use some app that creates shortcuts that directly connects and issue custom commands.

That way you are forced to give people your new ip every time chats become unaccessible/deleted and someone can’t connect back even if wanting to without talking to you, unless you decide you can use the older ip for whatever reason.

Of course not using your real ip but using some service like a vpn or proxy (or tor?) would be much better here, but i don’t really know how.

That can give you full power on the chat history and create the said “panic button” for every client involved.

TREE STYLE TAB

If it was less expensive and provided some privacy i would probably happily pay for it.

This app is amazing! I loved the infinity design, that’s so fucking amazing you took the time to bring it on Lemmy, i never really liked Jeroba!

I simply backup the /home folder, where the important files are with duplicity on my home server with ftp once a week, keeping records of the last 6 months. But as that only restores the home folder i also take a snapshot (which takes way more disk space) every month with timeshift too, which stays on the pc. Would be great if i could take complete snapshots via ftp just like with duplicity, but timeshift doesn’t do that.

The RSS feature is amazing, i wanted to do something like that with RSS Bridge, but it looks like both Instagram and Facebook are doing their best to block exactly these kind of things, so it works half of the times and it needs to be fixed quite often, i think now it doesn’t work very well either… Also it is very complicated to be set up if you don’t know a bit of PHP. Of course i’m willing to learn but all this blocking that projects like this (see Barinsta or Bibliogram) get is really discouraging. I think Meta content is probably one of the worst to scrape.

Regarding Proxygram: for now it works, i’m using a public istance to grab some RSS feeds, if it proves to be reliable i will be happy to host my own istance as well, if possible :) It’s sometimes slow to grab data (i guess because sessions get easily blocked/limited, getting error 500) but not really a problem as i just want to see new events every couple of days, one issue tho is that the RSS doesn’t show all the posts (only showing the last three of them), which can be annoying as you may lose something if you don’t see it and save it.

EDIT: It actually does get other posts as well, just reaaally slowly, meaning that if you follow really large accounts in a week or so you can find your feed full of older posts marked as unread.

Anyway thanks to whoever is making the hard job of building/owning an instagram scraper, I really know it can be tough.

Exactly lmao

I love Lemmy because you can see that people actually understand that foss platforms don’t keep themselves up magically but there’s actually people involved that work hard for making internet a better place without any economical incentive, but just their ideal.

Not necessarily, of course open source is better, but i really just want something that gives me power over the content i can see, this is usually what happens in open source, that’s why i posted here, but im open to closedsource solutions. I didn’t know of the existence of modded stuff like this. How can they mod a closed source app? Are they partner with instagram? How does it work? Do they just scrape content like anyone else? How are they not getting banned like other scraper apps?

Most definetely, i would strongly suggest the Supernote, if you want there are also android options like Onyx, but those are more similar to full tablets than just to a study tablet / productivity device
