We have a few smaller rats in our garden. They sometimes go after compost food scraps or our vegetable garden (though with the vegwtables hard to know if it is the rats, mice, birds, rabbits, or martens)

Does anyone know if rats are bad to have in the garden or if they control other pests or something and we just need to keep them from getting inside?

Do you happen to know when the last time was that a rich company was prosecuted for this?

It seems a lot like the perjury laws: there to scare poor people into telling the truth because of almost non-existant prosecution of it.

And if it is a fine and not jail time (white collar crimes are almost never jail time) the fine would have to be much larger than the penalties they would not have to pay because of the crime, otherwise it is simply a net win for the company

You can also try out photoprism for that. Immich is best for an all-in-one solution as a replacement for google photos.

Photoprism also has face recognition, maps, and many more features geared towards photography than immich.

I realized after using photoprism that I am too basic for that haha

I don't understand the usecase for tuta and proton. Their "automatic encryption" only works for people also with those providers if I am not mistaken, otherwise it just uses the same method as PGP (password that you have to send the recipient).

It seems to me that for 99.9% of emails going through the account, it is not any more secure that other providers like mailbox, posteo, nubo, etc...

Maybe I am understanding them incorrectly though.

Apple mail

It uses standards instead of a proprietary app like proton/tuta so you can simply add it to almost any mail client.

I mean, it isn't as thick as normal toothpaste, and the taste is different (like every brand switch of toothpaste to be honest), but they got a new formula for much much harder tablets in the beginning of 2025 more like real mints, so they don't get powdery or fall apart like they sometimes used to.

It doesn't sit on your teeth as much after you spit before you rinse, I find, but sometimes you get tiny grits in the molars from chewing them if you don't brush them out well enough.

I find it completely fine, just took a few uses to get used to.

That being said, there are also thousands of logos that go through proper design companjes and they pay a lot of money out and get literally just the name in a standard sans serif font or abstracted until it is unrecognizable as a name like KIA or TVA.

And the list goes on, Verizon, gap, tropicana, jcpenny, etc...

I mean, AI is trash, but it can also be extremely difficult to know if you will get a decent logo after paying thousands or tens/hundreds of euros spent (looking at you Belgium cities using millions of taxpayer euros for bad rebrands).

Also mealie supports SSO with OIDC so authelia/authentik can cover it and there is no need for separate accounts.

Also being a PWA on mobile instead of another electron app means that authentication in front of it doesn't break anything.

I kind of agree. I use accubattery on my phone since I got it so I know more or less how much I have used to charge it.

1526593mAh over almost 4 years. If we assume 3.9V charge voltage (about average between CV/CC and I only charge it to 80%), then it is a bit under 6kWh consumed, which is under 2€ with our high electricity prices here.

It uses literally a rounding error of power over its entire lifespan.

However, having a standard way to test battery life and battery cycle longevity in phones would be very helpful, but I am 99% sure it would be an unrepresentative test that manufacturers would start gaming within a year or two to have very skewed results.

Happy tabs! (happy-tabs.com, not happy tabs.com) Toothpaste tablets with fluoride, because they aren't anti-vaxxers like many toothpaste tablets

They are as expensive as the more expensive toothpaste because you can't stretch them out by just using less since you need 1 tablet, but they have 0 plastic packaging, the tablets are amazing for camping, they have 2 sizes of glass containers and the refills are just in paper and cardboard, they have actual reasonable subscription delivery periods and amounts, and they have versions with charcoal of that's your thing.

(You can find the standard jars, but not refills at Dille and Kamille in Belgium/NL)

https://bookshop.org/ (formerly https://www.indiebound.org/ebooks I think) donates a percentage to a local bookstore (of your choosing iirc, haven't bought or even torrented a book in a while).

They don't have everything, but a lot.

Kobo for other things.

Very funny, I stille have an old TPlink running now for 6 or 7 years, my parents had an old linksys that only did 2.4GHz running for 13 years or something. Before i replaced it for them.

I honestly don't know how a router breaks. It can become outdated or obsolete such that it can't interface correctly anymore or it can have a hardware failure that kills it by surges or physical damage, or it can be completely unsecure because it hasn't been updated in a decade but routing is "fairly simple" and just getting data throughput isn't rocket science software-wise.
