is anyone aware of metrics about the longevity of Fediverse instances by size? I read a diatribe today about how Lemmy/threadiverse is too centralized, lobbying for people to participate in communities on smaller instances. It’s also a common bit of advice given on places like Reddit that people […]

# Linux adventures

Last time I tinkered with my raspberry pi zero, I was able to enable networking through the USB gadget feature (meaning not with Ethernet or WiFi, just the single USB plugged into the PC)

And I’m glad because the target WiFi I have in mind won’t need internet access, and […]

Mastodon 4.4, now available, has a small setting that’s a big deal. See Administration/Server Settings/Discovery, “Allow external sites to see your Mastodon server as a traffic source”.

It means that every time you post a link to a site, that site is going to see as many hits as the number of […]

My warm water use is very predictable, and with the really hot days recently (30-35°C) and the much reduced need for hot water (typically 55°C), I thought I’d do a little experiment with my hybrid heat pump

Usually, on Saturdays I use the entire tank of water, that’s 8 kWh of gas energy to warm […]

I’m not sure if the translated text is by Alberta, but either way, this is on the nose

@grimalkina i meant you ask you, _are_ there decent studies out there about the impacts from tools like ChatGPT, open webui and stuff?

I remember another one that made a splash earlier this year, was claiming that students provably pay less attention, they remember less after relying on them […]

I’m still annoyed from the day they told me that my heat pump

* needed to turn off when outside temp is too high, because its electronics are fragile
* needed a heat source itself for defrosting

I mean… Isn’t this a machine whose entire reason for existing is moving warmth from one […]

[Rant]

This is ridiculous

Apparently we can’t have trains running when it’s 40°C, so the French trains company cancelled an unknown number of trains from 4 PM today

Also:

* the entire fleet of trains was renewed in the last few years
* travelers & […]

Can someone please explain to me why everyone is quoting #DNS4EU as being a democratic project free of private companies’ involvement?

See the link & attached screenshots, that doesn’t sound like a project managed by EU staff.

@jerry is there an account I should tag on help requests, or should I just tag you?

I created a peertube account on your instance and it got validated, but I can’t log in

I tried with hundred characters password, then 60, no luck

Google Suite used to be free for personal use

Then they made it paid, and I said yeah I understand there’s a cost to any infrastructure although I’m a drop in the ocean here but fine

Then there were the frequent price increases (will be over €8 next month) and now it’s as expensive as any […]

Air-water heat pump enthusiasts, a question for you: how do you deal with towel driers?

There is a good chunk of the year that I don’t need my heat pump spending any energy on the heating circuit

But that is where my towel driers are hooked up, while I do need the towels dried every day for […]
