• Sharing baby pictures - thoughts?

  My wife managed to find an application that has worked fantastically for us; FamilyAlbum. We're able to invite family members to it, whenever we upload pictures or video those who have been invited and installed the app get a notification so they can check. Source: over 1 year ago

• Family Album photo sharing app?

  I’m looking at options for sharing photos with family and close friends that’s not social media as my husband and I would like to limit the amount of exposure of our soon-to-arrive baby. I found the Family Album app (https://family-album.com). I like the privacy features — though I realize they can change their policies at any point. Has any one else used it? Do you like it? Have you had any issues with it? Can... Source: over 1 year ago

• Pros and cons of sharing your baby on social media

  Neither of us have social media besides Reddit to begin with. However, with our families scattered all over the place, we were finding text chains were getting unwieldy. We use FamilyAlbum now and couldn't be happier with it. Very private, easy to use for the grandparents, and they make adorable highlight reel movies. It's a great alternative to Facebook or Instagram. Source: almost 2 years ago

• MIL shared pictures with baby's face despite knowing this is a hard boundary for us

  Hey, maybe not with MIL, but if there are people you trust not to be garbage and want to share photos with, this is what we use. It’s invitation only, and you can revoke access at any time. We can control who has access (we just allow family and closest of friends), whether they can download images (they can’t), and choose whether or not to allow comments on photos (we chose not to, so only my husband and I can...

• TIL: You can open man or info pages in Firefox by man:<page> or info:<page>

  Addendum from https://mastodon.social/@mofosyne/112385581085525369 Turns out that it's because KHelpCenter in some linux distros hooks to these uris. So typing this uri would autoopen these man entries in KHelpCenter. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Systemd Rolling Out "run0" As sudo Alternative

  Good news! Run0 will use polkit[1], which uses JavaScript for its rules[2], so there's no limit on how complex your rules can get! On the other hand, maybe adding a JavaScript interpreter to Linux's trusted computing base isn't such good news...

• TfL's simple pop-up message led to a significant drop in paper ticket sales

  Apparently there are some stations which still have ticket gates, but I haven't seen any in the rather short time I've been in the Netherlands - they seem to be concentrated in metropolitan areas[1], and I've only been in the somewhat more rural[2] province of Limburg. As it happens, though, I have never actually used the OV-chipcard myself, as I always use an Interrail pass when travelling any further than... - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Systemd Wants to Expand to Include a Sudo Replacement

  Uh, depending on exactly how it's implemented, it could break a lot of things. If all you are using sudo on is a personal (i.e. Single user) laptop/desktop to install packages, this (along with other things like pkexec or doas) would seem to present no issues (and personally, from what I can see, I'd be happy to run `run0` on my personal systems!), but sudo does significantly more than that,... - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• Ask HN: What do you think about a subscription based social media?

  Oh, TIL about https://mastodon.social/ (https://joinmastodon.org/) Looks like what you describe, doesn't it? > Social networking that's not for sale. - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago
