My phone has stopped syncing calendar with Nextcloud for no visible reason. Using DAVx^5, ICSx^5 and Fossify Calendar.
This is way too difficult and fragile. I really wish Nextcloud app could handle calendar (and contact) syncing by itself. Now it can't even display my calendar.
Anyone know if […]

The last week I've seen/been part of a few discussions regarding #matrix on Mastodon and Lemmy. To help the world heal - let me offer this tiny suggestion:
If your views on Matrix come from pre-Element X client times, just scrap those and be open to the fact that things are different now.

We walked 2km in the forest, uphill with a ladder and some tools in order to install this Seeed Solar Node on a dead tree.
I have a good signal from home - 12km throu forest and the coverage seems to be good too.
I'll let it be here over the winter month :)

New Jolla phone will most probably have The Other Half support. It could be a really cool Meshtastic or Meshcore client device if we could put a suitable LoRa radio in the TOH. The interface will probably be I3C - anyone know how well ESP32's support it? Or maybe via some I3C serial or usb […]

What's wrong with Mastodon instance if a spinner is spinning below every toot viewed? Smells like some federation issue, but otherwise the instance seems to work fine.
Tried restarting the services. No obvious errors in journal. Running v4.5.4.

I need a long distance (~300m) network connection through forest. Wireless or lasers don't like any obstacles so I need to rule them out.

Got wet socks when searching for this radiosonde, (T4820741) eventually found it! It has been long time since last search. Sondehunting just a nice reason to go out to breath some forest air.

Just wanted to upgrade our Mastodon instance. It's installed from git with char limit patch, so it's really daunting. I really wish we could just use docker..
This issue is 6 years old and STILL it's not configurable. I like Mastodon but this seems somewhat hostile against server administrators […]

Wohoo. I'm getting cockpit telemetry of #acecombat7 in LUA.
Starting poking around #ue4ss mod for #acecombat and slammed rocks together for 2 hours and it started chirping altitude, speed and health 🤓
Just a proof of concept so far but this looks promising.
