  • Lemmings, what's your self hosted server power usage?

    Jump

  • My main issue is I'm not shutting down my Pi-Hole, home assistant, NAS etc etc just to plug in something like this in, and then 24h or so later shut them all down again to retrieve it again. That said I basically have a collection of Pis (passively cooled and this silent) and a Synology disk station so the power use is pretty low.

  • You've got me there, but by logical extension you are now saying the celestial body the ISS orbits is ...the moon?

  • You seem to be saying that the earth-moon barycente can be logically referred to as just 'the moon' ?

  • ...whoosh.In no logical sense does the sun orbit our moon. The earth does however indeed orbit the moon (or technically they both orbit a common centre between the earth and the moon).

  • They seem to have resolved their supply chain issues for now. I could buy a Pi 5 and have it dispatched tomorrow, and I did buy a Pi 4b recently, no issues with delays or lead times.

  • No Mint pretty much just works.Great thing about Mint (or most Linux distros) is that you can try it by booting from a usb stick - see if you like it that way.

  • Issues with the functioning of kbin.social

    Jump

  • There is an option for this under settings which is likely to be more fruitful than a comment in a thread.

  • This is great news! Thanks, and also great that you are making it source from the off!

  • Ernest will no doubt correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he's also said he'd prefer to leave aps to those for whome it is a core strength.I think he knows it's something the community would like, so I think the post you link above was in reaction to Artimis unfortunately going offline and the App (for now) dieing with it (since nobody seems able to contact the developer). I suspect it's something Ernest will progress 'in his free time' if no other apps which live up to his ambitions are developed first!

  • What's the plan for downvote federation?

    Jump

  • A key difference here is we can see who downvoted which I think makes people more cautious to downvote. I guess Lemmy users aren't used to that however (but it might change their behaviour when they realise we can see!)

  • how it should work on kbin.social [?]

    In my view ideally upvotes and downvotes federate both ways, but I can also see why some admins might choose not to federate in downvotes.

    I guess the real question comes down to what you do with the information.I think currently the sort order is very heavily skewed towards boosts (which I actually quite like), but I do also sometimes wonder how it would look if the sort order was aligned with the reputation system (i.e. boost= two upvotes).Having both sort options available might be nice, (noting that we'll not federate in any boosts from Lemmy).

    If we did federate in downvotes the current sort order (which seems based on boosts less downvotes?) probably wouldn't make sense?

    ...I'm also be keen to see others thoughts on this!

  • Indeed, and then there is a whole raft of searching, sorting and filtering options for Microblog posts (aka Toots) which kbin does, and which Lemmy can't even see.

  • Hi @maegul, I just wanted to let you know. It's not perfect yet, but it's something I'll be working on in the coming months after the first release. Thanks for pointing

    Jump

  • @ernest Woah, this makes a heck of a difference. That's powerful!I love the way that kbin gives you far more options to sort the Microblog feed than, say, Mastodon.

    Most popular posts (by people I'm subscribed to) from the last week. Go. Boom!

    I love it!
