    Haha indeed!

    It’s funny when it starts to just invent things. Like packages, with version number!, that… do not exists…

    Or when it outputs code without using the variables …

    The most annoying thing is imho that it keeps explaining everything al the time. Even when I prompt “you have a working app with vuejs…” and others it sometimes still explains how to setup the app.

    That said: the tool has become a staple in my workflow whenever I need a starting point. Or have to do some math algorithmic things





  • Same.

    As someone who uses the actual rss feeds, reading the same feed without interaction is just … a waste of time. Clutter. Annoying even.

    Like you said: I come here for the interaction and/or to find an interesting article someone found in a channel I’m unaware off. Not bot rss feed content.


  • The memes I don’t remember but … I’m old. And…

    Reading this gave me an instant flashback of dropping my old Ericsson on a train and it just … lost all its parts! Man that was 😱

    Yes I had to hunt for: the battery, the battery cover and the SIM card! In those days the latter was bigger than we have now but very expensive.

    To be honest: hot swappable wasn’t all that cool or user friendly at all. You had the dropping issue, the dirt and grime got in the cracks causing it to loose contact. Just like a mouse ball back in the day. All that and … when it was time to change it, never found a replacement and the phone was just outdated anyway.

    Now all those different chargers we had? That was the real nightmare. Man! Very glad that is solved, even with the mess usb-c is.

    I fear this is again one of those rules politician’s make without any knowledge; or they just ignore reality. Per usual.




  • Nope. 2.5km or so but in a dense populated city 😁

    I’m interested in your terrifying view though. Maybe I’m missing something, this is roughly what’s in my head now: (1 is my home, 2 is a a cloud server, 3 is my parents)

    • 1: pushes the relevant entities to 2. Read only.
    • 2 received the data. Validation here is a token system with permissions. I’m going to use my SaaS to do this given it already has this in place
    • 2 is storing the values in a database
    • 3 gets notified of the new values with web hooks. Again by 2, something I have yet to build in de SaaS but will be needed anyway
    • 2 can sanitize the values when needed. It will absolutely do validation and verification and such
    • 2 is very secure and is the only one who will do write, only to his own db
    • I’m not sure if 3 would be able to react to entities directly on 2 but I will investigate this. If not I can push the values
    • we make a read only graph on 3 that just displays the values.
    • I’m now thinking that doesn’t even have to be on 3 yet, I can just make a very secure view for them in the SaaS. With login and things, something that I already have. I can use an iFrame to let them view it in a dashboard of HA
    • later we could do automations when needed but that is not that urgent given I work from home and my parents are retired.

    For me this seems very secure, more so given we mostly have read only things. maybe there is something I’m missing?

    Sidenote: we have Smappee as well and can access each others home through their app. We can use this at first but it would just be cool to make this flow. I for one don’t want to be this dependent of some vendor, if you know what I mean…



  • For me it’s simple: my ISP has crippled the upload to 30mbps making it impossible to host something from my home publically (download is 300mbps or more) but I do selfhost on unraid … it’s just for stuff in my house or for my privately with vpn outside. I run a TON of apps this way… I just don’t need them to be … public they are just for me to use at home mostly.

    That for me is also selfhosting.

    Now that said: I still ask the same question to my isp when they want to upsell me something: and what about the upload? The sales persons mostly don’t know what I mean or how it matters 🤦‍♀️… anyway I’ve been doing this for 20+ years now…… kinda lost hope? But nah not yet 😏 … “hoop doet leven” we tell or selves over here (translates to: hope is live)


  • It wouldn’t, although given we visit each other a lot it would help in way.

    But for this I would like to automate it like you suggest. I didn’t think of the vpn way, and that would certainly be possible. Although I fear it would complicate things a bit. That an in our duopoly isp thingie we have have here in Belgium we still have a miserably low and flaky upload of 30mbps. VPN is very slow. It’s on my list to test wire-guard though.

    That said: good to hear that simple web hooks seems fairly straight forward. Due to time constraints I haven’t dabbled a lot in automations but this route seems very promising! I think I will now def take that route, al be it with a small server component to handle the forward to their instance. So no vpn and floating ip hassle. Especially on their end.

    Probably can build this as an extra service into an existing web app too!

    B/c in the end it’s just sending them the data in a certain format it is? I mean it probably is even just a forward call😎 🤔 this sounds more and more the way to go, I could even capture the data in MySQL and let in dept analysis tools loose on it. To learn the tools

    Thanks a million! Your insights gave me the direction to move to. 🤗



  • Agreed. Exp Full stack Web dev here. This slowness is clearly a dev issue. The “it keeps spinning” is rarely a db issue or server issue IF the server has power and this one has. This smells to much like something is timing out . I also noticed that when I reply to someone who was logged in from kbin (or even mastodon) it just never ever submits.

    I’m not that familiar with federation itself. But I do know my way around the web. I too hope that they fix this asap. It could even be something like a non sorted query. Or just an endless/to long loop. These are the most typical bugs that happen when there is more data.

    Anyway just my 2 cents. Like I said I’m not that familiar with the Lemmy code.
