Many (if not most) new cars have their own cellular service built in. They spin this as being able to hotspot to your vehicle if you pay for data or being able to remote lock/start your vehicle with their app. However, the vehicle manufacturer has their own plan allowing them to relay back telemetry data regardless of whether you buy a data package.

I will be declining my refund. Got way more use out of Apollo than any other app.

Lemmy decided to go with SHA256 for TOTP seed. This is a very odd move since many 2FA apps don’t support SHA256. I actually had to write a quick python script to spit out my 2FA code since Bitwarden doesn’t support it. Hopefully either Lemmy will change to SHA-1 or Bitwarden will start to support SHA256 seeds.

That's just due to me adding the Crypto community at someone's request. It just backfilled all of the old articles. You can also just not subscribe to the crypto community if you don't want to see those posts.

Not in the way that it would have happened in an environment that's CO2 levels are slowly increasing.

It makes me smile to see so many "fuck yes"s. Glad everyone is as excited as I was to launch it.

I'm still debating allowing signups on my instance. That wasn't really the goal of this project and managing a Lemmy instance with a sizable user base isn't something I had in the scope of the project. More than likely it'll stay how it is, but I don't want to say I'll never allow signups.

I've seen a lot of chatter about meta-communities to solve the fragmentation issue. Hopefully that is something the devs have on their roadmap. Think there are still a lot of bugs and performance issues they need to work out first.

The few communities I have built were just the big ones I could think of to get to launch. I'm more than happy to build out new communities or add/change/remove feeds as people have feedback.

Fuck yes!

I really wish more apps were straight up switching to Lemmy like this.

Hey @sunaurus I really appreciate all of your hard work. I already sponsored you on Github, but money only helps so much - don't burn yourself out. If you need anyone to lend a hand please don't hesitate to ask. Infra is one of my specialties, but happy to mod or whatever else you need.

My server is struggling with federation. Pretty much everything I see in the logs with debug turned on is this:

2023-06-20T01:55:28.018419Z WARN Error encountered while processing the incoming HTTP request: lemmy_server::root_span_builder: Header is expired

Not sure that’s entirely true. Thankfully this attack vector required custom emojis, so it was limited to those specific Lemmy instances. Other attack vectors we may not be so lucky and it could spread through federation.

Personal opinion is that is outside the scope for a single instance. The whole idea behind Lemmy is to have multiple instances to accommodate different geos and different languages.

Honestly it’s not that big of a deal. There have been addons for google sheets for a really long time. I had market sheets that pulled pricing from their API a decade or more ago.

You'll need to search for the community. If you can't find it you can sometimes force your local lemmy instance to sync by going to yourlemmyinstance.com/c/space@lemmy.link

That's the idea. Linkbot will scrape all of the feeds from the community sidebar and post new links from the RSS feeds.

Since the posts are to my Lemmy.link server, all of the posts and comments will be on my server. The mod work will be on me to maintain.

Unfortunately I have not found a way. It doesn't look like that feature exists right now. I keep toggling back and forth between Mlem and MemmyApp. They're obviously both brand new, but it's funny how the features implemented in each are almost exactly opposite. One has multi-account support, the other can swipe. One can open pictures, the other can search communities. If they merged they would make for a great app. Just need to give them time.

It’s not that difficult to get a Pi 4. I wrote a python script that scraped rpilocator’s rss feed every 5 minutes and would notify my phone when one was available in the US. It went off basically every day around 8:30am PST when Adafruit would drop 100+ Pi4s. I’ve picked up two in the past week (one for my Voron printer and another for a RetroPi cabinet). They did sell out fairly fast.. in about 10 minutes or so.

I didn’t realize it would be so easy when I wrote the script. Knowing what I know now I’d just check adafruit every couple minutes starting a bit before 8:30am PST.

My exact thoughts. Hypoxia is a terrible way to go.
