At some point I think I’m going to write a post about nice behaviour here. I have to think about it some more… And this is a diverse place anyways, other people might like different things.

I'd read something like that :)

Sometimes we also don't think about how we could be doing something better. Another thing that comes to mind, which I sometimes forget, is upvoting the post that you are commenting on. Usually if I'm commenting, I want more people to see and join the discussion, but I forget to upvote before leaving the tab

That's a good point, I try to post a few relevant pieces each time and add context in the post body. Still, not all posts are good and so I'm open to people pointing it out when it happens :)

A lot of my RSS feed is for healthcare content or local news, and those communities don't have much content otherwise. I'll see about trying to get more of a discussion going for each of the posts I share

I also saw a post about a portainer alternative, anyone know others?

Monitor (docs.monitor.mogh.tech) (from the other site)

  • "core API and periphery agent are written in Rust"
  • Nice UI & lots of features
  • I wish it had a different name because "Monitor" is very hard to search with

DockGe from the other post

  • Looks like it's popular, from the other post

  • Features are more limited, no environment variables yet I don't think

Oh I don't mind it, I like the post :)

I was thinking that there might be a lot of Lemmy users working in such roles, without a place (that I know of) to share those stories

Oh, we do have a !talesfromtechsupport community (link). Looks like the mod is inactive and the community doesn't have that many subscribers

Maybe we can try making a new one here on programming.dev

As of 2017, the rules in Canada have been the following:

All new devices in Canada must be sold unlocked, and carriers must offer to unlock existing phones free-of-charge

there's this one but it doesn't seem to have any recent posts [email protected]

Might be nice to have a more generic one if we make a new one. Maybe c/LostUsers or something to keep it open to lemmy/kbin/piefed/sublinks/mastodon etc

This seems like the wrong community for this post

Which app are you using? It would be best to post in the community for that app

That's part of why I clicked the article, I was confused if I read it correctly

Very cool, thank you!

This is both really cool, and really unsettling. I wonder if this research might help in the other direction as well, such as with transplants and grafts

 

When Jamella Hagen and her boyfriend planned a four-day road trip to bring his new electric pickup truck from Vancouver to Whitehorse, she anticipated challenges.

She knew the gaps between fast chargers in the North, so they planned stops in communities with EV charging stations.

What she did not anticipate were the wildfires.

"Our choice to drive an EV was an attempt to reduce our personal impact on climate change," she wrote in a CBC first person column. "But on the road, we encountered climate change disasters all around us, and we had to cope with them while learning to use a new and still fragile charging network."

Some of the routes Hagen planned to take were shut down and redirected to make room for evacuees leaving Kelowna and the Shuswap region.

Knowing the EV truck wouldn't make a long distance between chargers, Hagen made unexpected stops, like a hotel where a charger was a 20 minute walk away. Hardly unusual, she said, as she often finds EV chargers located in inconvenient places, such as the edges of town or behind buildings.

"If I was travelling as a single woman, I would have found myself missing the comfort of a brightly lit gas station on a lonely stretch of highway."

Overall, Hagen says she’ll still consider buying an electric vehicle herself while living in the north, but only if her family had an additional, fuel-powered car at the ready.

The number of subscribers listed in the sidebar is only the number of users from YOUR instance that are subscribed. This might make you feel like a community is 'small' or 'dead' when it actually isn't.

I also started to forget this till I was playing with the shields.io badges earlier and the numbers didn't match up.

Here are some examples:

[email protected]

  • My instance will see 310 subscribers
  • This instance will see 22.6K subscribers

[email protected]

  • My instance will see 6.03K subscribers
  • This instance will see 1.49K subscribers

Now my question is, what's an accurate way to see the total number of subscribers? Is it in the home instance for a particular community?

If so, it might be worth adding the badges to the sidebars.

([email protected])

([email protected])

([email protected])

([email protected])

([email protected])

([email protected])

To do this quickly, go to https://shields.io/badges/lemmy and enter:

  • [email protected] for community
  • lemmy for logo
  • Total Subscribers for label
  • modify the colors and style as you like

You can also modify the community and instance here and paste it in:

![](https://img.shields.io/lemmy/fediverse%40lemmy.world?logo=lemmy&label=Total%20Subscribers)

swap the fediverse%40lemmy.world portion

 

Curious if anyone tried self hosting it yet.

I was looking into Notion alternatives months ago and none of them seemed good enough. I've been using Joplin and it's been ok, but I'd like to set up something that I can use collaboratively with friends and family for things like shared shopping lists, guides and project tracking.

Now that Anytype has been out for a little bit, how do you find it? How resource heavy is it to run?
