Thats what really kicked me into using obsidian as much as I do.

[-] thegreekgeek@midwest.social 4 points 5 days ago

Basically you can mirror the instapapered versions of your saved pages as markdown files in your obsidian vault. You can customize the whole thing basically so you can put it wherever and have it tie in to your PKM system however you want. I've got mine organized in weekly folders with a dataview block in my daily note showing the articles I've saved that day.

I'm just curious as to how you think these are insurmountable problems while every instance in existence today is already managing to navigate these issues.

The only thing the author is suggesting is to pool the resources that are going to waste copying media posts around the fediverse into a new backend (that means it's not directly user accessible and presumably subject to the same restrictions as posts right now) so that the cost of media hosting is more distributed between all the fediverse instances instead of having the big ones hogging all the bandwidth of the small ones with memes because some users decided to subscribe to a community on say Lemmy.world.

Did you even read the article? It's not like all the users just get unrestricted access to storage to treat like a google drive, this is a backend thing. This guy is trying to find a solution to all the wasted bandwidth and storage space from sending copies to all the other instances they're federated with, which is a legimate issue that the instance admins are already dealing with on a daily basis. This will let them pool resources to help lower costs for smaller instances.

As to the CSAM thing I can only imagine it would be easier for one instance to purge fifty images/restore from a backup and everyone else just have to redo their thumbnails as opposed to all the instances having to purge and restore but that's just me.

Yeah delta chat rocks!

Literally just set one up yesterday on neocities, it was surprisingly easy. Of course then I managed to break it because I'm not as familiar with git as I'd like to be lol.

I would also like to know this, best I could come up with was one of those electric water cooler pumps that fit over the top of the bottle.

Also the inspectors should have arrest powers

I've thought about doing stickers too but I'm not sure if I'd want to do it for a local community rather than a specific instance.

[-] thegreekgeek@midwest.social 6 points 1 week ago

Yeah I'm curious about that myself.

[-] thegreekgeek@midwest.social 6 points 1 week ago

Dries 'em out a bit, lets the oil soak in. Also it's not a recipe, it's just a tip.

ATAK would work, but you'd need a TAK server to share location data with other devices. FreeTAK is nice. Though it's a bit much if all you're trying to do is share location among family and don't need a whole-ass TACNET lol.

Otherwise Owntracks might fit the bill better. It hooks up to a MQTT network and you can use something like node-red to pretty easily pop that into a dashboard map if you're not running something like Home Assistant.

Only thing I'm not sure about with Owntracks is the list of location points, but you could use Tasker or something to publish the coordinates to a different MQTT topic than the one your phone is posting to.

Hey all! I've been chewing on this problem for a bit and I've hit a wall, I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

I have an auto entities card populating a series of mushroom chips on the top of my dashboard for stuff like lights on, available updates, and open doors.

The thing is, some of the doors that have sensors on them are open by default, and as a result the chips are there all the time.

Ideally I'd like to have seperate auto entities entries for each group, default open and default closed, but I'd like to keep them in the same card as everything else(they're sorted by time triggered); and I can't for the life of me figure out how to filter out specific entities from a single entry in the include filter. I can exclude something from the whole card, but I haven't found anything that would allow me to just show certain closed doors or certain open ones.

Hopefully this made sense! I appreciate any ideas you have.

EDIT: So I finally got it figured out without futzing with my setup too much, sorry @borebore, I didn't end up going with the template sensor. I ended up finding a python script that allows you to inject custom attributes, so I made an automation that anytime the "normally closed" doors updated their status it'd give them an "is_normally_open: true" attribute and filtered the auto entities chips off of that attribute.

Thanks everyone!

My first time encountering it, just scrolled to it like three times to check, anyone else having this issue?

Edit: ope, looks like I can't edit the title lol.

Anyone tried zenroad? (midwest.social)

Hey all! I was looking for an Android Auto replacement app recently and came across Zenroad there's also an android build but it's not compatible with my device unfortunately. Has anyone had any experience with this app?

Edit: ope, just saw the sidebar. Apologies!

Weird vase mode bulging (midwest.social)

Hey all, I just finished a run of Popandsicle's excellent vase mode ornaments and I noticed these weird bulges happening all over the prints. The last run in a different color was flawless so I'm not sure where to start. I couldn't find much on the issue with a bit of googling so I thought I'd check with you folks and see if you all had any insight.

I've calibrated my esteps and adjusted the resolution to be a bit easier on my printer (modified CR-10v2), and unfortunately my mainboard isn't capable of linear advance.

Filament is overture royal gold, layer width is 0.6, height is 0.2.

I appreciate the help!

To be clear I know it's not well lol. I just wanted the community's thoughts on what I'm doing wrong. I'm using Overture Royal Gold on a modified CR-10v2 with a real V6. Model was sliced in cura with default low quality settings.

The filament I bought a few months ago but just broke it open yesterday. It's making some small popping noises every now and again but the seal didn't appear to be broken. It seems all right otherwise, if a little sticky on the roll. I had to move it out of my filament dryer to keep it from opening the lid because it was binding so much. That's what happened to the last tower, that failed mid print. Looks nice at least.

My phone with the case is just barely too big for the slot in the K480, so after a few years of saying I should do something about it I finally did! Designed in Onshape, printed on a modified CR-10v2. Would welcome any suggestions, I already have v3 ready to go to fix the slot bit, it's just a titch too big.
