One that stands out to me are the optional notes above the comment box for each community.
On piefed.social I’ve used this to put a note on every beehaw.org community about the ‘good vibes only’ nature of that instance and one community on lemmy.ml has a note about the unusual mostly-unwritten moderation policies employed there.
I like this idea, because it would serve as a last second warning to me(and others) that I might be at risk of participating with tankies.
I use apps on my phone, but have no clue how to troubleshoot them. I have programs on my computer that I hardly know how to use, let alone know the inner workings of. How is running things in Docker any different? Why put down people who have an interest in running things themselves?
I know you're just trying to answer the above question of "why do it the hard way", but it struck me as a little condescending. Sorry if I'm reading too much into it!
To access things outside of your LAN (for example from your phone while at the grocery store), each service gets a DuckDNS entry. "service.myduckdns.com" or whatever.
Your phone will look for service.myduckdns.com on port 443, because you'll have https:// certificates and that all happens on port 443.
When that request eventually gets to your router and is trying to penetrate your firewall, you'll need 443 open and forwarded to your Debian machine.
That question is a little bit out of the scope of a forum like this. A question like that would better be answered by the nginx documentation. Sometimes the project documentation might have a blurb about nginx configuration specific for that project. For example, Immich.
For the most part, you only have to reference the nginx documentation. I've never looked at the Immich config above until now, and my Immich server works great.
I've had a reverse proxy for years, but the config files are very foreign to me because I use Nginx-Proxy-Manager. NPM makes nginx usable for dummies like me, at the expense of gaining a deeper understanding of how it works. I'm ok with that, but you might feel differently.
This photo is taken out of context, though. I mean, he slapped his chest before the salute, and he did it twice in a row... Ah shit nevermind, he's a Nazi.
I'm not up to date on the current market, but I have Ikea blinds that are battery operated which I control from HA. The batteries are rechargeable, and the batteries themselves have micro-USB ports for charging.
One option would be to buy these, see what kind of charging port they come with these days, and try to make some physical modifications to jam a USB connector in there. From there, you just have to figure out the solar part. A lot of solar charge controllers have USB ports which should work to charge the battery, but they are clunky and you'd have to mount it on the wall probably.
For what it's worth, the batteries in these shades last quite a long time... Looking at one of them, I last charged it in September 2024, and it's still at 72%. It goes up/down at least once a day I'd say.
Nope. If it was something that I'd need to refer to later I might go the photo route, but since it's all temporary reference I just toss it in the trash.
I do for my job, where I need to quickly jot down important information. The info I jot down is temporary in nature, and after a particular "job" (I might have a few jobs in a day), the info is useless.
Paper and pen is great because it's fast, custom, doesn't take up screen space, and you don't have to click buttons to throw it away.
Yeesh. I'm glad I have uBlock Origin and also AdGuard Home. uBlock Origin is much easier, but both combined means pretty much no ads in my entire house.
Once you fill the gas tank in a motorcycle, you can't pick which molecules of gas go towards acceleration and which ones go towards idling at a red light.
There are other options... Lemmy development could stop and plenty of people would keep using it in its current atate. Maybe it'd even continue to grow.
Or maybe the developers quit and another team steps in? Open source projects are never fully tied to a single developer team.
The low server cost doesn't change anything for me. I'm just a person who won't donate if any amount goes towards keeping that place running under the current admins.
