Very cool, and thank you for taking the time to make such a detailed post!

If you are using any Synology products with your setup, you should go ahead and apply the recommended updates

There was the attack on the Internet archive recently, are there any good options out there to help mirror some of the data or otherwise provide redundancy?

One option that I’ve heard of in the past

https://archivebox.io/

ArchiveBox is a powerful, self-hosted internet archiving solution to collect, save, and view websites offline.

Spondulix is 19th-century slang for money or cash, more specifically a reasonable amount of spending money. Spondulicks, spondoolicks, spondulacks, spondulics, and spondoolics are alternative spellings, and spondoolies is a modern variant.

It could be that many tornados have been near schools, (justifying the drills), but only that many have actually hit the schools (which would be catastrophic without the drills)

Cool :)

Thanks for sharing!

Interesting

MEMS oscillators incorporate MEMS resonators, which are microelectromechanical structures that define stable frequencies. MEMS clock generators are MEMS timing devices with multiple outputs for systems that need more than a single reference frequency. MEMS oscillators are a valid alternative to older, more established quartz crystal oscillators, offering better resilience against vibration and mechanical shock, and reliability with respect to temperature variation.

So the helium causes physical interference by leaking into the housing?

Some I’ve heard mentioned include

• OwnTracks
• Home assistant with nabu casa

I haven’t explored either

Unfortunately that seems to be the case for a handful of Foss apps. Fdroid might not be a priority for them yet

I found this

https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/4909

they seem to be leaning into the AI stuff, anyone try it out recently?

It does help set a good precedent. When companies try to do the same thing, further hurting smaller artists, we can point to this case

I’ll include a note in the post about making a backup first, sorry about that!

Some Lemmy compatible platforms do stuff like that

• allow you to see both Lemmy style content and Microblog style content in the same platform
• allow you to follow individual users.
• include hashtags that federate out so the Lemmy posts appear under that hashtag for microblog users

Something like that could work, as long as it’s an additional option and not a change to how communities currently work.

Mixing hashtags with communities sounds like a bad idea because of how much content would come in at once. For example, there are a few RSS feed communities and already those ones are overwhelming to keep up with. Most posts sit with no comments and 1 vote, which doesn’t work for the vote & comment based way we organize content here.

We can improve how we federate these platforms together, but I prefer the tagging method. That way it’s a conscious decision to post a microblog post in a community.

It is a good question, I had the same when I first heard about it.

I think lots of people keep both installed:

• the default one is good for managing server related things
• this one is good for daily use, especially for any other users you might have

What I liked:

• feels much faster and smoother
• UI is nice and clean
• download manager works nicely, as another user mentioned. You don’t need to open a separate app to play the files

That might be my bad, I saw an update notification and it may have been Droid-ify.

I’ll update the title just in case

This post on other communities:

• !android@lemdro.id -> https://lemmy.ca/post/26475110
• !opensource@programming.dev -> https://lemmy.ca/post/26475103

At some point I think I’m going to write a post about nice behaviour here. I have to think about it some more… And this is a diverse place anyways, other people might like different things.

I’d read something like that :)

Sometimes we also don’t think about how we could be doing something better. Another thing that comes to mind, which I sometimes forget, is upvoting the post that you are commenting on. Usually if I’m commenting, I want more people to see and join the discussion, but I forget to upvote before leaving the tab

That’s a good point, I try to post a few relevant pieces each time and add context in the post body. Still, not all posts are good and so I’m open to people pointing it out when it happens :)

A lot of my RSS feed is for healthcare content or local news, and those communities don’t have much content otherwise. I’ll see about trying to get more of a discussion going for each of the posts I share

I also saw a post about a portainer alternative, anyone know others?

Monitor (docs.monitor.mogh.tech) (from the other site)

• “core API and periphery agent are written in Rust”
• Nice UI & lots of features
• I wish it had a different name because “Monitor” is very hard to search with

DockGe from the other post

• Looks like it’s popular, from the other post

• Features are more limited, no environment variables yet I don’t think
