Anything that is actually helpful and useful helps to keep better in touch with aunts and cousins and my parents who all have iPhones and I miss out on group chats since they wont install or use anything else. Apple isn't going to get rid of their garden unless forced so I'm glad someone is trying something.
My work environments use Prometheus and node-exporter and grafana. At home I use telegraf, influxdb and grafana (and Prometheus for other app specific metrics) but the biggest reason I went with telegraf and influxdb at home is because Prometheus scrapes data from the configured clients (pull), while telegraf sends the data on the configured interval to influxdb (push) and starting my homelab adventure I had 2 VMS in the cloud and 2 pis at home and having telegraf sending the data in to my pis rather than going out and scraping made it a lot easier for that remote setup. I had influxdb setup behind a reverse proxy and auth so telegraf was sending data over TLS and needed to authenticate to just the single endpoint. That is the major difference to me, but there are also subsets of other exporters and plugins and stuff to tailor data for each one depending on what you want.
I've played it takes two with my partner and kinda got a little complicated around and after the first boss, definitely gonna give KeyWe a shot! Work our way up to it takes two again
Betweeen newer androids it's RCS now and between Apple devices it's imessage so it's only going between the two because Apple refuses to bridge the gap because people are so used to that setup. However now a lot of my friends, coworkers and neighbors have Telegram now so don't need to worry about the specific device.
My friends said they had a button pop up to instead send as SMS yesterday. Beeper sent notifications the service was down and shortly after my number was deregistered with imessage without me having to do anything.
I got a popup 2 or 3 weeks ago asking what I wanted to share for this and I unchecked everything. Now am curious and will have to go in and verify. Also no email about my week in review or whatever.
I selfhost kavita for about 30 ebooks and use KavitaEmail to send epubs to my kindle. I also tried out audiobookshelf only for podcasts and wasn't quite up to my current workflow that antennapod running only on my phone exceeds at. I also recently saw audiobookshelf can host epubs and send them via SMTP via one container so once the android app for the latter comes out of beta and has better local file and androidauto support I may give that a shot again.
I use kavita and tried audiobookshelf a bit after and all kavita requires is a specific folder of "Last, First" for authors and can toss any jpgs or epubs in those folders and that's how I have mine structured. I didn't have any structure setup before so adopting this one made sense to me.
WiFi, mobile data, Bluetooth and VoLTE all still work fine. Performance and battery is about the same as when I used oxygenOS11 for about a week before going to lineageOS. Only con is the need to wipe the phone so make sure things are all backed up! I missed a few folders and photos before wiping the device.
Installed it on my old oneplus 6 who's only issue was battery life to get it from android 11 to 13 now that it is back to my daily driver since my Samsung s20 broke. It's running great
This is the first I've heard of that issue, I've had a hybrid HR fie about 3 years now and been running fine
