Hey, thanks for reading my bio. You know, you're pretty cool. I'm glad we got to share this moment together.

  • How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?

    Jump

  • This is a fantastic read. I wasnt around for the prime days of forums but I did experience them a bit.

    I'm becoming extremely concerned about the number of topics and projects that are migrating to Discord. My main issue is that it is not and never will be publically indexed, and among other problems, is itself a corporate walled garden we consider to be "one of the good ones".

    I really hope we find and establish a "low executive cost" solution before the next time Discord fumbles (which is inevitable) and we can claw some of that activity back.

    But people are so used to seamless voice and video chat nowadays - and that's a technical hurdle that AFAIK, no open-source self-hostable projects have come close to solving.

  • OpenBudgeteer: a selfhosted budgeting app made for Bucket Budgeting

  • Oh, I need this thread. I've been all over the place ever since Mint shut down.

  • What else is there

  • SpacebarChat - a selfhosted, Discord-compatible communication platform

  • I've been trying to find a more privacy-friendy alternative to Discord but I keep coming back to the issue of screen sharing. No other platform does it as smoothly.

    The best I've found is using Parsec with some virtual audio cables to avoid voice feedback.

  • What music do you use for concentration?

  • I went to a conference this weekend, and it slowly dawned on me how every single one of the vendors was selling their app hosted on AWS. That's all it is. Just different flavors of AWS.

    Even if you dont interact with AWS directly, every business needs business services - you can bet that no matter what you're buying or who you're buying it from, some of your money is going directly to AWS marketplace.

  • In my defense, my pattern recognition works a lot better with depth perception and movement

  • Green light wavelength-selective organic solar tech for greenhouses

  • If this works, could you theoretically cover crop fields in solar panels as well? That's a ton of usable space

  • I was only gone for a day or two...

  • Until I joined Lemmy I had no idea how militant vegans could be. I sorta just assumed they were a different brand of vegetarian.

    I'm not opposed to their ideaology in any way, but after reading the comments on a few posts that found their way into my feed... I had to block their communities. It didn't seem likely that I'd be reading any productive discourse there.

  • Alternative Printer Uses

    Jump

  • Holy shit. I do a fair bit of small electronics repair on the side, the cost of a decent heat pad is about half that of a 3d printer... This may be what finally inspires me to get a 3d printer.
