I don't really need Premium for my current use case but it would be nice for when I can't use Plex or need to see something right there and then so I may give this a shot. Are there any other notable services where stuff like this works?

Chunky is pretty good. I’ve also been enjoying Yomu for more general reading but it may support comic stuff as well.

Question Mark Mound posted:Apple serious needs some built-in way to just generate your own Wallet passes rather than assume every small shop or conncert venue is gonna make their own app for making cards. It would be nice but what I’d really want is more granular control to make geofences to have cards automatically come up when you’re at the store in question. Lowe’s does this and it’s super convenient. Can’t see it being viable unless they hook it into their maps service or something.

I’m big into Yomu as it can pull from my Calibre library, sync progress across devices, and can seemingly handle whatever. My only gripe is that they don’t have a windows/web client for true saturation of my devices. They do have a OSX one though.

So todays the last day of the Dark Sky app’s functionality if memory serves. What are the go to alternatives now? iOS weather is fine, I guess. Carrot’s rude gimmick is cute but not enough to pay a subscription for.

Looks like that may be due to Carrot pulling from a different weather source? Mine defaulted to Dark Sky’s and I presume Apple does the same as they own them.

The amount of off the books childcare places is exponentially higher than anyone other than people with small children suspect. It's also pricy enough that I don't blame people for going with "cash only" methods to help save a bit on costs. It's kind of insane, we applied to every non-sketch place in the area right after we found out kiddo 1 was coming and we're still waitlisted on all of them nearly 2 years in.

Boris Galerkin posted:I don't have a kid but this sounds like something that would turn me off from that particular daycare if I had a kid. If they're going to skip out on business related expenses/paperwork like this what else are they doing? It’s very funny to me that you think you would have options like “go somewhere else” or “work with the kid around”.

Do those actually work well for those of you that use them? I bought a pack a bit back and it seems to be a tossup on how fast (and occasionally if at all) the phone recognizes the tag. Additionally shortcuts are nice but it’s a pain that you can’t share personal automations more easily. I should just go get smart wall switches instead of trying to have a non verbal smart bulb controller though.

atomicpile posted:Free (with donation for extra weather sources), uses better sources than built in wx app, looks good, doesn’t spy on you! That app is a unicorn. Yet. There is a troubling trend in the FOSS community where devs will launch a well made product, introduce paid tiers, and then yank the free access altogether once they have enough of a base with sunk time and so on. I wouldn’t be too surprised if the app makes changes down the line that are less customer focused; doubly so as weather APIs are pretty expensive if you want anything at scale.

I like the idea of safari’s reader mode feature but don’t particularly care for using safari for reasons unknown. Is there an app that has similar functionality that’s decent? Is that just instapaper? Doesn’t have to be a “read it later” type thing or a service, just opening the URL and showing the page is plenty.

I’m half ready to go off down the rabbit hole of Linux iCloud syncing in a Docker container to get Osidian playing nice on mobile but hopefully the syncthing plays nice and saves me the trouble. Outside of mobile just tossing it onto a network drive is laughably easy.

Demon_Corsair posted:Got any links to start this rabbit hole? It’s mostly googling at this point but after further research at seems the most viable way is to use git. That doesn’t bother me as I use git anyway but something more automatic would be nice. I haven’t had a chance to look into it at length yet. I was hoping that rclone worked with iCloud but it apparently doesn’t. If it did the whole matter would be trivial.

So with the most recent update Deliveries now no longer works with UPS and hasn't with FedEX for a bit now. I got in before they moved to a subscription and while it isn't mission critical it's rapidly losing usefulness as it no longer natively supports two of the three most common shippers in the US. What is everyone else using?

Dicty Bojangles posted:I doubt the carriers allow free API calls on large scale like this app requires, plus the dev does a solid of keeping it working and up to date. $5/yr is barely anything for what you’re getting. Oh I hear you and don’t disagree. I pay a lot more for Carrot for the same reasons. I wish these apps would allow you to enter in your own API keys to help with this but get why they don’t.

101 posted:How much of a discount would you be expecting on $5/yr for bringing your own key? About 5 $/yr less an initial buy in I’d say.  Though as mentioned due to the sheer range of bullshit entailed in supporting that many companies/APIs I totally get the need for a sub. That doesn’t make me happy about the fact, but I do understand it.

GATOS Y VATOS posted:You know what, I realize in a way that I was lovely for saying "what's the problem with $5/year" because for some people counting every single dollar is really important, so I take back my saying that. I wouldn’t go that far. I come from a place where that was very much the situation and only now have gotten to the point where I feel comfortable spending a dollar or whatever for the lowest tier of iCloud storage and so on. My hesitancy is rooted in that but that wasn’t a read I was getting. It’s a bit of a bummer that what was basically “free” from my viewpoint is likely becoming reoccurring fee but there are good reasons for that as well from a dev’s perspective as hashed out already.

If you’re willing to do a bit a legwork Plex + Plexamp might be worth investigating. It’ll let you stream the hell out of your flac and personal library but you’re going to need a computer hanging around to do it and iirc a Plex pass.

All my stuff is on my NAS so I would just use the built in file explorer to copy stuff locally over the network and then use a flac friendly player. If you’re that serious about the audio quality and not wanting to futz about with Apple’s proclivities you can get a dedicated music player from Sony or whoever that will play the hell out of whatever and be bog simple to get stuff on/off of.

Are notifications messed up for anyone else? I’m regularly not getting text message notifications as of late. They just show up as app badges and nothing else despite there not being any squashing via focus modes or other settings. Doesn’t even show up on my watch. Doesn’t seem to be everything though.

OldSenileGuy posted:What country did you use? I’ve heard Argentina is the best one to use but of course Mullvad doesn’t have servers there If you’re willing to do the legwork any place you can create a server in can work. Spin one up, toss WireGuard on there or whatever, connect to it and surprise, you have a personal VPN to wherever. It’s how I “move” to India every year for about 45 minutes despite them banning VPNs.
