Disappointed ex-Reddit user after the APIcalypse - starter pack
  • What’s an instance?

    An instance is a specific website running Lemmy or another piece of federated software. For example, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are two distinct instances

    What’s a community?

    A community is the "sub-reddit" of Lemmy. Kbin uses the word "magazines", but these are the same thing.

    What are federations?

    A federation is a group of instances sharing posts and activity data with each other so that it can be displayed to their respective end users. For example, I can post to a community on lemmy.world and then you will be able to see my post when you are browsing feddit.de.

    Whats the difference between all these?

    Let me know if you have additional questions based on my answers above.

    What’s mastodon?

    Mastodon is a piece of federated software that is built to look and feel like Twitter, similar to how Lemmy is built to look and feel like Reddit.

    What’s Kbin?

    Kbin.social is a website you can use to browse posts from the Fediverse. From what I understand, it is similar to Reddit as well.

    What’s ActivityPub?

    ActivityPub is the underlying protocol that Lemmy, Mastodon, and other pieces of federated software use to communicate with each other. This is how they notify each other of new posts, comments, upvotes, etc so they can stay in sync with each other.

    Health officials warn: Don't touch the foam
    www.michiganradio.org Health officials warn: Don't touch the foam

    Some foam on the river is caused by PFAS, a class of chemicals that can cause health effects after prolonged exposure.

    I know the article doesn't mention Ann Arbor, but I figured it's relevant for folks going on the river.

    Steve Yzerman has changed roughly 25 percent of the roster from the end of last season.

    Red Wings address several needs in free agency, but are they better?

    Like the article suggests, I'm not entirely sure we're better on paper than last year.

    Obviously there's more to a good hockey team than being good on paper though. What are everyone's thoughts?

    Hiking @lemmy.world ilikedatsyuk @lemmy.world
    Good hiking shoes for a beginner/flatfoot

    All,

    I come to you with a request. Though I enjoy hiking and the outdoors, I am plagued with incredibly flat feet that get painfully sore after only a few miles of walking.

    I'd like to enjoy the outdoors more, but the pain builds and builds until it's no longer enjoyable for me to walk and explore. Part of the issue is that I don't own shoes suitable for such activities -- I mostly wear Vans and other similar flat, wide shoes.

    Does anyone here have a similar issue? If so, what are your recommendations for good hiking shoes for a person in my situation?

    I would call myself a beginner when it comes to hiking, so they don't need to be anything too fancy, but I'm willing to spend a decent amount to mitigate my stupid feet.

    Thank you!

    What does your infrastructure look like?
  • A combo of both. I group all my media apps like Sonarr, Radarr, SABnzbd, etc together in one compose since I consider each of them to be a part of the same “machine”, but most of my apps have their own compose.

  • What does your infrastructure look like?
  • I have an HP DL380 Gen8 and then a PC I bought from the local university and use as a server.

    My DL380 runs ESXi. My PC runs Ubuntu on bare metal.

    All of my apps are either fully VM-based (Home Assistant OS) or run in containers. Containers are far easier to build, upgrade, and migrate, and also make file management a lot easier.

    I use Docker Compose. No Swarm or Kubernetes at this point.

    Hopefully this is at least a good start! Let me know if you have any questions.

  • What are your favorite automations?
  • No special addon. I use a Node-RED flow to query the Paperless-NGx API to find the number of documents with the "intake" tag. Here's a template.

    Instructions:

    1. Create an API token for Paperless-NGx by going to http://<PAPERLESS_URL_WITH_PORT>/admin/authtoken/tokenproxy/ and clicking Add Token
    2. Import the flow into Node-RED
    3. Take the token you've created in step 1 and paste it over the <PAPERLESS_TOKEN> placeholder in the "Headers" function node
    4. Change the URL in the "Make API Request" HTTP node to point towards your Paperless-NGx installation
    5. Replace the debug node at the end with whatever you want. I personally use a Sensor node to import the value into Home Assistant.

    I just got an HP Z2 SFF from my local university for $182. It has a Core i7-8700, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512GB NVME SSD.
