I’m just this guy, you know?
Gandi changed their TOS and price structure last year, so I ported everything over to Porkbun for a small savings, but mostly as a big middle finger to Gandi.
If you’re gonna get banged that kind of cash for functions you’re already using, you may as well look at better registrars, and get better value for your spend.
Shop around.
Human lifespan is relatively short when considered against even the lifespan of other creatures on our own planet like Galapagos turtles and some species of shark. Against the backdrops of geologic and cosmic time scales, 80-100 years is nearly instantaneous.
Life is short. Enjoy your time to the fullest, because when you’re looking back on those decades later in life, even they were fleeting.
Make the time to do the things that make you happy, especially when it feels like you don’t have time for it.
I don’t think the episode changed either of our votes, do you?
The universe might have imploded from the sudden imbalance between mass and un-mass (the opposing axis of the “dark matter” posit). We might count ourselves lucky ¹.
My mistake, my client doesn’t show which instance on the main feed, just the name of the sub. It totally didn’t occur to me I’m subscribed to linux channels across several instances, and I would have sworn they all had the same little icon.
This post is getting spammy for those of us who don’t care about Canvas. I mean, get your paint on or however that all happens, but 3 posts in 3 hours is kinda … Spammy. Sorry, OP.
Can we not make just one stickied Canvas post about this, and keep the hype there?
Many apps can act as installer aps. Installing an app is basically the process of unpacking the APK file into a directory where all the other user.apps are stored and registering it with the system. The challenge, such as it is, is making sure two different installer apps aren’t trying to manage the same app package.
So if you’ve installed an app that’s available from one of the F-Droid repos that’s also available on Play Store, both apps may try to update it. Its not a common conflict since the F-Droid versions tend to have a different signature than the Play Store versions, so the other installer tends not to try and overwrite it.
As for how the F-Droid scene works, there are different collections of packages curated by different teams. These curated collections are called repositories, or repos as I mentioned above. Each repo tends to have a unique focus for the apps they support. They build and sign the apps so the installers know the provenance of a given package.
As for the installer apps, they are simply clients that can subscribe to different repos and collate the indexes of applications available on each. When you search for an app, you’re really searching the index and in the event you get multiple hits, your client app should let you select which repo you want to pull the APK file from. That client app may then attempt to update that app as newer versions become available.
Finally, to come to the point and answer your question: You can install the new app (e.g., Droid-ify) alongside F-Droid and begin configuring it. Maybe just only have auto-updates enabled in one of them. They will both provide similar functionality for supporting multiple repos, installing and auto-updating apps, though they have different UIs with different ergonomics and workflows.
Myself, I have both F-Droid and Droid-ify installed, and I still use the Play Store. I mainly use Droid-ify because I like the cleaner UI, but I understand F-Droid finally updated their UI as well. (It was needed, IMO). Droid-ify has the auto-update job for now.
edit: Apparently I forgot that I uninstalled F-Droid some time ago. Just checked and its not there anymore. Oops, I lied.
Hope this helps;

Right? I’m sort of bought into Google’s ecosystem at this point, so I understand my Devil’s Bargain. I pay for their services, and in return I expect not to be hassled with ads or penalized for suppressing them on devices I own. I use their services because it’s convenient for me today, but at this point I’ve diversified my online footprint so that I could feasibly walk away and do without the conveniences.
Sticking ads in my face in Nav mode would be a bridge too far, but we’re not there so it’s cool.
Of course they probably feel differently. That’s their problem.
My question here is directed to other readers: I find the traffic layer in Gmaps to be my most used feature for local navigation. It’s the one feature I really do use every day before I drive home from work to decide which way I’m going to take to get home.
I see there are tutorials to define a map overlay in OsmAnd for traffic using Google’s API that are dated from a few years ago. Has anyone here successfully done this, and do these tutorials still work in 2024?

It’s not FOSS but you can do this in Tasker easily enough.
edit: I wasn’t satisfied with what I said, so here’s another approach using things available on F-Droid.
With Termux, Termux:API, and Termux:boot, you can use termux-job-scheduler to run a script to calculate your remaining time to a target date-time (use UNIX timestamp for the calculation and strftime to format it) and then use termux-notification to publish a notification on your system bar. You’d use termux:boot to make sure the script gets (re-)scheduled after each reboot.
Termux is just generally useful for a lot of things. I think its worth the storage to maintain it, and I use it quite a bit myself like I use Linux terminal on the daily.
I also use Tasker quite a bit, and have your specific countdown use case implemented already. It was counting down the number of days remaining to 9am local time of a specific date, and would notify me every morning at 9am. I can share an export if you’d like.
There’s also https://github.com/sk5s/countdateapp of you want to go the purely app-based route
Who among us would NOT shit their pants too if they got a hole in one?
Oh, they wrote it. They damned well wrote it. Now they deny it, and those are the lies I’m accusing them for.
Lies. All lies.
