PascalSausage , to technology in Federation, Defederation, and You - FAQ and Megathread

ITT: People not understanding that if they don't like the rules on one instance, they can use literally any other instance and that problem will evaporate.

Fylkir ,

Yup. That’s what I like about the Fediverse.

realcaseyrollins , to technology in How do you find RSS feeds that you're interested in?

I generally go to a website and if I like the content, I look for an RSS icon. If I can't find one, I'll browse to either [domain]/rss, [domain]/rss.xml, [domain]/feed or [domain]/feed.xml, because most websites that support RSS will have an XML file at that location. This has worked for every site I've tried it on so far, except for Genius' website.

SulaymanF , to youshouldknow in YSK that you can edit titles on Lemmy, unlike Reddit.

This makes me realize that Reddit development got stale, this should have been an updated feature years ago.

Reddit development got stale when, unfortunately and tragically, their best dev killed himself in 2013

ratz30 , to youshouldknow in YSK that you can edit titles on Lemmy, unlike Reddit.

That’s an excellent feature I had no clue about!

empireOfLove , to asklemmy in How do we feel about Meta joining the Fediverse?

They see the fediverse trend gain9ng steam with the rise of Mastodon and go “Oh sheit we need to be on that for $$$”. Proceed to embrace, extend, enshittify, and extinguish. Its nothing but Zuckerberg’s gasping breaths to try and stay relevant as his company begins the very slow, but inevitable, backslide into technological irrelevance.

I will be leaving and/or blocking any instance that chooses to federate with anything related to Meta. They are antithetical to the entire foundation of the metaverse and they ruin everything they touch.

atkion , to agora in [VOTE] Only donors should be allowed to vote.

Nay, this idea is fundamentally against the values of this instance.

UrbenLegend , to gaming in New rule regarding posting untagged game spoilers

Good rule. Spoilers suck. Personally I also think spoilers for old games stink as well, especially if you’re a patient gamer. For example, spoiling the secret from Bioshock ruins the impact of the ending, no matter how old that game is.

Also just a reminder that Lemmy has spoiler tags as well (triangle with an exclamation mark icon), so if in doubt use them, like so:

spoilerDumbledore did not have the high ground.

Metallinatus OP ,
@Metallinatus@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks for the reminder, but that only works for text, right? If it works for images or anything else, then the NSFW tag won’t be needed after all, but you got me wondering that now.

Edit: I mean, I might as well just try it out:

spoilerhttps://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/78a7ae46-84d0-4c4d-aae0-9069db7dfbc3.png- 1 - 2 - 3

I guess it will work with anything, thanks again, I will edit the rule to reflect that.

userIdnotfound , to explainlikeimfive in Who are Hexbear?

After r/chapotraphouse was banned a portion of their users created hexbear, since lemmy was even less developed at the time they had to fork lemmy to make it usable for their community, recently they migrated back to lemmy as it is more established now. Ideologically they are communist.

druid , to startrek in S1E14 - What is this reverse 🖖 hand signal Riker does?
@druid@toot.wales avatar

@QDidNothingWrong I suspect it's just a simple case of the actor getting it wrong and no one on set really noticed at the time. It's definitely not the standard form.

QDidNothingWrong OP ,

Another fascinating point is it’s not tradition to do the Vulcan salute to a non-Vulcan of which none of the characters on screen were so it’s strange he’d use that salute when not referencing anything Vulcan in the scene.

Travail , to childfree in Coworker/Friend makes her kids her personality and won’t stop talking about them.

You could try asking how she is doing, not her family.

Realistically, a lot of parents are so enmeshed/co-dependent they’ll misperceive any negativity (or lack of sufficient positivity) as an attack.

Thrillhouse OP ,

That’s not a bad tactic. This morning I was like “wow you’re so busy I can’t wait to see what you get up to when the kids are gone to university.”

bbbhltz , to technology in How do you find RSS feeds that you're interested in?
@bbbhltz@beehaw.org avatar

Check out some of these directories:

realcaseyrollins ,

I didn't even know that such directories existed. That's awesome!

aslkame , to childfree in Coworker/Friend makes her kids her personality and won’t stop talking about them.
@aslkame@lemmy.world avatar

I totally feel you, i knew people like this kind too and sadly the only way to make them pause this topic is to have a little pause on friendship or to tell the hard truth that you don’t like kids (if you do). I found no other way to stop people from talking about this topic.

Thrillhouse OP ,

Yeah she knows I hate kids. When she told me about the weekend I responded “That sounds like my personal hell.”

Idk I guess I need to fade out for a while. I don’t know how to give her a stronger hint that isn’t hurtful!

knF , to selfhosted in Sustainable self-hosting services?

I’m hosting al my services on an old Android mobile with termux. Power consumption is ridiculous, not 100% sustainable but it is very low power. You could add solar panels and you’re done. In terms of performance, mainly for family use, I’ve never had an issue once I plugged it to an ethernet port.

abominable_panda ,

Mind telling us more about this please? What services are you running and how? Docker?

knF ,

No Docker unfortunately, it would require either to recompile the mobile Kernel or use QEMU and I believe it would have a big impact on the performances. Basically this time the approach was: what can I do with an old mobile without rooting or anything. Hardware:

  • Samsung S20
  • USB3 to Ethernet & charger port
  • 128GB SD card

Sofrware:

  • Termux (android app)
  • SSH (OpenSSH in Termux)
  • Rclone (in Termux)
  • Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr (in proot-distro)
  • Transmission (in proot-distro)
  • Kavitha (in proot-distro)
  • Podgrab (in proot-distro)
  • Ombi (in proot-distro)
  • ntfy (in proot-distro)
  • Filebrowser (in proot-distro)
  • Vaultwarden (in proot-distro)
  • Homer with lighttpd (in proot-distro)

Since I wasn’t able to install .NET Runtime in Termux directly, I used the proot-distro (Ubuntu) and inside I’ve installed all the services. Services are started manually every time I restart the proot-distro (unfortunately I’m getting an error when installing Termux:Boot), it’s a simple script so I’m not dying over it. To keep the proot-distro alive I launch is with the screen command so I’m ensuring persistence even when the terminal is closed.

It’s not a clean solution like docker etc. but I’m consuming 5 or 10Wh of energy every day which is close to nothing and probably sustainable with a solar panel.

Every once in a while (basically when the SD is almost full) I transfer the files with rclone to an external drive where I consolidate the files.

Oh extra tip, with rclone you can create a DLNA server so you can serve the files you have download immediately (tested with VNC and Kodi)

The phone/server has still room (CPU & RAM) to go and possibly I could install HomeAssistant without any issue. Also I could add Joplin and Floccus using webdav for storage as I had in my previous server but I don’t miss them.

Any other questions, doubts, scripts, feel free to ask!

CaptainBlagbird ,
@CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world avatar

Were you able to use the phone Bluetooth in HomeAssistant?

(Or do you not have access to interfaces like that with proot-distro? I’m not at all familiar with it…)

knF ,

Unfortunately I didn’t give it a try.

I tried HA Bluetooth presence detector on my PC some time ago with not so good results and since that time I didn’t gave another go.

I saw a Termux-bluetooth package so it could be a feasible thing.

primevandal , to nostupidquestions in Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?

i have not been back since the blackout started.

This is the way

Some things should stay on reddit…

coca-cola + hefeweizen = colaweizen

Sounds vile, is really tasty.
