Yeah it's quite unfortunate with iOS. I'm on android but afaik iOS just doesn't support all the PWA features.

Which is super interesting in its own right, because when you look back at the first iPhone, Steve Jobs actually announced at first that it wouldn't have a Software Development Kit for native apps and all applications will be web based. They obviously didn't stay on that path, but I find it quite ironic.

Short and sweet, thanks for explaining.

 

So Jerboa broke on my phone just now and I didn't want to stop browsing Lemmy. Unfortunately no suitable alternative was found so I just decided to check if I could open it in my browser and install it.

To my surprise, it worked. And it works really well quite frankly. Sure, the UI is different, but I'm not at all missing any features.

Did any of you guys try it as well? What's your opinion?

If not, did you even know that was a possibility? It quite frankly never crossed my mind, because Reddit and other platforms always force you to use an app when you open them in a browser.

 

Hey guys, I'm currently studying computer science and have used Google domains for a while to host my own website. In lieu of domains being discontinued by Google I'm thinking about moving every service I've used there to a Debian VM, which would be hosted by a company in my country, but I would have root access.

This would include a Web- and a Mailserver pretty much. I'm not a beginner when it comes to handling a CLI, but I am quite rusty and would prefer a solution that I set up once and don't have to maintain weekly to keep it going.

I'm aware selfhosting entails some kind of maintenance, I pretty much just don't want to be overwhelmed and suddenly lose access to my mails by being lazy.

Serverwise I've setup Apache and Postfix already in my studies, but I'm not sure if those are the best solutions.

I'd really love a few pointers and do's and don'ts if you'd be so kind to help me out ๐Ÿ˜„

Thanks!

(I've posted this to a different community already, but this one seems more active, sorry if you see this double!)

Edit: Thanks for all the input! I'll use Ionos to register my domain and their free Mailservice they provide with it. My website is currently still hosted with firebase, but I'll move it to a Linux VM also hosted by Ionos...

Since they're locking Consoles to 30 fps I'm worried their Recommended settings are using that as baseline as well.

If that's the case I'll wait for some IT hero with too much free time to upload their optimisation mod to nexus ๐Ÿ˜‚

My tactic of waiting a year until a newly released game is fully patched and grabbing it with a discount has yet to fail me.
