It really depends on what you're trying to do. At the end of the day, the foundational components are pretty standard across the board. All machines have a CPU, motherboard, storage mechanism, etc. Oftentimes those actual servers have a form factor better suited for rack mounting. They often have more powerful components.

But at the end of the day, the difference isn't as striking as most people not aware of this stuff think.

I'd say considering this is your first experience, you should start with converting an old PC due to the lower price point, and then expand as needed. You'll learn a lot and get a lot of experience from starting there.

This is not a “mistake”. This clearly proves they have Apple TV app integration implemented (just turned off). And someone accidentally turned it on.

But they have clearly put in effort and work into adding this functionality.

New functionality doesn’t just happen by mistake.

That’s attached to the instance? Do you have a screenshot maybe?

What is the error that you get?

It’s not really any different than hosting any other service.

I was lucky to get in in the early days when posting Mastodon handles on Twitter was common so was able to easily migrate. But this is a problem with ActivityPub right now I feel like. Discovery algorithms can be awful in the timeline, but so useful for finding people/communities to follow.

Yep just saw that too after I researched it a bit more. What is strange is I don't remember Eve Energy having a firmware update since then. Makes me wonder if they had it ready to go in previous firmware versions based on internal specs they saw? Or maybe I just forgot about a firmware update I did.

but as the Matter standard doesn't yet support energy monitoring, users are limited to basic features like on and off and scheduling

from this link

Granted the article is almost a year old. But I just didn't realize that Matter now supports energy monitoring. Somehow I just missed that news.

I know I'm not necessarily the target audience for this. But it feels too expensive. 6x the price of Cloudflare R2, almost 13x the price of Wasabi. Even iCloud storage is $0.99 for 50 GB with a 5 GB free tier. But again, I know I'm not necessarily the target audience as I have a lot of technical skills that maybe average users don't have.

If you ever get around to building an API, and are interested in partnerships, let me know. Maybe there is a possibility for integration into !echo@eventfrontier.com 😉.

I wish it worked on more webpages. But totally agree.

What? I'm not following. Steam isn't federating with anyone. This is about having a link to an external site. Nothing more. Has nothing to do with federation directly.

That is so bad. They clearly don’t understand the appeal of decentralized systems…

Submitted!

Just added to my todo list. Hopefully I'll get around to this today! Thanks!!

Thanks so much! 🎉 Native is the only way to go imo 😝. I’ll make a PR this weekend.

Might also have some comments on the Lemmy API eventually, but I’ll save those for a later date haha.

Thanks for all you do for Lemmy.

Check back in 24 hours or so. If it still isn't available, please let me know.

What is your region?

Just posted there. Thanks!

For Mastodon there is something called Tootpick which allows you to enter your server's domain and share any content by redirecting the user. For example: https://tootpick.org/#text=https://eventfrontier.com/post/37808. So I'm not quite sure the federated nature argument makes sense. Sure it's more complicated that a centralized system, but possible regardless.

What are you trying to backup to? I’m assuming some 3rd party service? You might have to break it up by year or something and do it in batches.
