Mastodon — all the privacy

Twitter — pretty bad privacy

Threads — we know everything about you

Nice! Subscribed.

Hey! Yes, as part of disconnecting from Reddit a month or so ago, I noticed there weren’t any A2 communities on Lemmy yet.

So I started my little community and have been working on breathing life into it ever since. I figure that good, vibrant communities with consistent activity will be very important to people looking for alternatives to Reddit in the future. I’m focused on being the change I want to see in the world 🙂

I’ll keep putting in the work over there – it’s good to be decentralized in case one of our instances goes offline. These are still early days for Lemmy, so I expect a little instability in the coming months.

You guys are doing great over here! Keep it up.

Adding to the chorus of voices telling you to get a Sonoff stick.

The Conbee II is very old at this point and shouldn’t be used for new setups.

Yes! Let’s make this place feel like home 🙂

Nice, I missed that! I have Apple TVs in every room at my place, so that’s a big upgrade for me.

I worry about your mental health if you implement your button though 😆

Sounds like maybe there’s a little refinement needed for that functionality but, like you said, it’s a step in the right direction!

Lots of cool stuff in this release. I could see some very cool automations being built using the new service responses.

Man, 35 is too young to go! My thoughts go out to his family.

It’s true, that thing is sturdy.

A combo of both. I group all my media apps like Sonarr, Radarr, SABnzbd, etc together in one compose since I consider each of them to be a part of the same “machine”, but most of my apps have their own compose.

I have an HP DL380 Gen8 and then a PC I bought from the local university and use as a server.

My DL380 runs ESXi. My PC runs Ubuntu on bare metal.

All of my apps are either fully VM-based (Home Assistant OS) or run in containers. Containers are far easier to build, upgrade, and migrate, and also make file management a lot easier.

I use Docker Compose. No Swarm or Kubernetes at this point.

Hopefully this is at least a good start! Let me know if you have any questions.

Those are very original!

How do you detect the zoomies?!?

I like to shop at https://cloudfree.shop/ when I can. Their pre-flashed Tasmota smart plugs are nice and support MQTT/fully local integrations.

Hi @[email protected]!

These are Zigbee, so they are entirely local as long as you control them with a control software such as Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA that doesn’t interact with the cloud.

Can anyone else see the kitty? Am I the only one missing out???

I want to see the kitty…

Morning Summit! It’s expensive, but by far my favorite cereal.

I have some arbitrary temps in my system too. I also have our bed warmer automated to turn on each night, but only if it’s <=60 F outside.

Thanks for everything you’re doing. I signed up for Patreon to contribute!
