Is there EV support?

Looks like it, yeah:

The UI still shows Fuel, but it seems like you can enter the kWh and it should calculate. Maybe plug some values into the demo to be sure. If you do, let us know!

I use Fireflyiii for my money and budgeting.

I don’t see why not. I haven’t stood it up yet, but I’ve played with the demo. It does have a section for parts/repairs/upgrades.

Give the demo a try, and let us know.

Yeah, building a simpler version of something like that was on my ever-growing “to do” list but came across this today. Probably going to deploy it this evening or maybe this weekend (whichever day it’s supposed to rain lol).

For a website, forum, blog, etc, at least the damage caused by poor security would be limited to just that platform. Unfortunate, but contained. With federation, that poor security becomes everyone else’s problem as well. Hence my gripe lol.

It’s been so long since I setup my instance, I honestly don’t recall what the default “Registration mode” is.

I’m but a small drop in the larger fediverse, but I do develop a frontend for Lemmy. I actually coded the “Registration” section in the admin panel to nag you if the config is insecure. lol

It will still let you do it, just with a persistent nag message on that page.

Basically, yeah. Not all admins would defederate, so they probably wouldn’t be completely isolated off, but they would definitely have a very reduced audience for their, uh, antics.

Yup, and I’ve probably still got a lot of those instances on my federation blocklist.

One of my ongoing gripes with the fediverse is that people run instances with little/no oversight and leave registrations wide open. It’s just irresponsible to have open registrations when you don’t have an admin available 24/7.

So let’s say instance A and B are defederated from each other, but both are federated with instance C. After a user from A posts something on C does every user from B get to downvote everything?

Yes. Instance A will not see the downvotes from instance B, but instance C would.

The only defense is that mods and admins can see the votes and, if something like that is suspected, they can take action (ban the accounts, consider defederating from instance C, etc).

1. Have an actual mission statement beyond just being a general purpose instance (e.g Beehaw, my instance, most of the topic-based ones, etc)
2. Replace the default frontend with anything better than Lemmy-UI
3. Building on #1, try to curate the experience into something positive.
4. Block the toxic aspects as best you can by default. Don’t make new users discover and deal with the toxicity on their own. There’s plenty of other general purpose instances that will let people rawdog everything (and everyone) on the Fediverse if that’s what someone wants.
5. Focus on “quality over quantity” and block all the content repost bots / defed from the instances that do nothing but repost Reddit content. Disallow AI slop in all its forms and focus on human interactions.
6. Consider hiding/disallowing Politics communities and don’t allow accounts who post with an obvious agenda.
7. Systematically Identify and ban accounts that do nothing but downvote (if everything here displeases them so much, perhaps they should go elsewhere, ya know?)
8. Clean up duplicate posts; even if they’re slightly different, seeing the same story posted 10 times gets old for users.

It was too hard to meat the butcher, and the candlestick maker was a bit of a drip.

Interesting. One of my instance’s guiding philosophies is “Quality over Quantity”. I’ve taken different steps toward achieving that (defederate from the Reddit repost instances, disallow pretty much all content bots, manually/locally mod duplicate posts, etc).

Do you plan to publish your algorithm/filter? Would be interested in seeing if it could be tuned and possibly reduce some of the workload for me.

Already working on plans to attempt to migrate my instance to a Piefed backend. Gonna take some doing/experimentation, but hopefully will be able to share the knowledge learned (and, ideally, a migration script).

Yeah, I’m actually planning to see about trying to migrate from Lemmy to Piefed (as an instance). Rimu said it’s technically possible but will need some manual work to ETL the data over. Hoping to start poking around and making some attempts soon-ish. Right now, still just doing my homework and familiarizing myself with Piefed.

It’s a long history of Github, Lemmy, and admin chat interactions that culminate in my desire to never willingly interact with them again. It’s just too much and too off-topic to post here.

I have absolutely no desire to use or learn Rust and even less desire to deal with those devs.

It’s been a long-running thing for blogspam to appear here. Usually admins will step in at some point and squash the accounts, but any time I see anything.blogspot.com as a post URL, I look at the account history and see if that’s all they’re posting. 9.9 times out of 10, that’s all they’re posting, and I ban them with content removal. Same for other sites that pop up out of nowhere that get spread from a brand new account.

I have no idea what the objective is (SEO, ad views, etc), but it’s been a thing as long as I’ve been on Lemmy.

Thanks for the list: some of those I had yet to ban.

Not to be snarky (ok, a little snarky lol), but I don’t see the Lemmy devs stepping up to do anything about this. Still can’t even delete DMs.

If anyone has other suggestions to mitigate this (maybe a Greasemonkey snippet to require a click to load inline images as a patch for the lemmy Web UI?), I’m all ears.

Tesseract dev here.

It also has the option to disable inline images (Settings -> Post and Comments -> Inline Images). I’ve confirmed this also works for DMs.

After reading this post, I’m going to push out a hotfix (hopefully this evening) that will disable inline images in DMs by default. If someone you trust DMs you, you can just click on the image link to view it in a modal (like any other link preview).

Depends on what I’m transferring and to/from where:

• scp is my go-to since I’m a Linux household and have SSH keys setup and LDAP SSO as a fallback
• sshfs if I’m too lazy to connect via SMB/NFS (or I don’t feel like installing the tools for them) or I’m traversing a WAN
• rsync for bulk transfer and backups
• Snapdrop/Pairdrop for one-off file/text shares between devices with GUIs (mostly phone <–> PC)
• SMB if I’m on a client PC and need to work with the files directly from the fileserver
• NFS between servers
• To get bulk data to my phone (e.g. updating my music library), I connect via USB in MTP mode and copy from the server via SMB or sshfs.

Any idea if he’s referring to a turnkey “run a script” / “push a button” type solution that’s not (yet) available?

If all other aspects of it are technically possible, I’d be more than willing to manually muck around in the database to move things ove and take what was learned from that and hopefully make a DB migration script.
