This is similar to what I do.

I have a USB drive with the whole bootloader + decryption keyfiles on it. I remove it while it is running as everything is stored in RAM and already booted.

Downside being it has to be plugged in to update the boot partition during an upgrade.

Fitotrack sadly doesn't connect to my Polar H10, but the interface is much nicer than open tracks or runnerup in my opinion.

Liftlog is another fitness app that is a simple weightlifting tracker and is very beautiful UI-wise though it isn't available of FDroid sadly, but the play store.

Gadgetbridge I believe is more of a replacement for the apps of respective smart watch devices and then integrates with things like FitoTrack and Open tracks via manual exports. I think it also gives trends and stats, but I can't remember, it has been a while.

Just a note that dry canning is pretty bad and has a much much higher chance of botulism than other canning methods. (Botulism spores must be kept at-heat at 160C dry heat for over 2 hours, not the oven temperature, but the full temperature of the medium itself)

It doesn't matter here much because it is already powdered, shelf-stable mix, but in general.

It's funny, because often they aren't prettier. Well optimized and well made games from 5 or even 10 years ago often look on par better than the majority of AAA slop pushed out now (obviously with exceptions of some really good looking games like space marine and some others) and the disk size is still 10x what it was. They are just unrefined and unoptimized and try to use computationally expensive filters, lighting, sharpening, and antialiasing to make up for the mediocre quality.

Technically you could get current live data (current step count, current heart rate, etc...), but any historical data, activities not connected to the smartphone, probably some UI features, etc... would simply not work and have no chance of working because they have an on-IC encryption module and encrypts everything into unreadable binary blobs before sending it to their cloud server to be processed. I think each of the developers sold their fitbits because it would be a bad experience, so there is nobody to develop the integration.

So this one is fitbit's fault for being a shitty cloud SaaS company lol

London population: 8.8 million

Twin cities combined population: 3.6 million

London public transport: pretty damn good, connections everywhere, not an insane price

Twin cities public transport: almost non-existant, insane parking prices

London police: sometimes reasonable and lightly armed

Twin cities police: notoriously corrupt, heavily armed, use constant excessive force on civilians

Mystery solved.

For the low low price of 50€ for a 30g part!

Some people need the space if they don't live in a city and have lots of children or dogs or tools and then an electric SUV is much better than a ICE van or truck.

Especially if that home had terrible bus and train connections because of the decades long fight of the country's right wing party to defund and dismantle the public transportation network in order to privatize it for their corporate interests.

Gadgetbridge is pretty good as an alternative if it supports your watch.

My Lemmy instance admin apparently is also a home assistant contributor. Cool!

OK, so how will blocking google services and Microsoft work when all of our banks rely on google services for their apps, all of our companies run on Microsoft tools and cloud services, and the fact that most of the population uses messenger or whatsapp?

Great step, but will it be enforced? What can our government do against companies with revenue half of our GDP?
