I can’t believe I know this, but RubMaps used to (might still be?) a thing. If you looked at the outside of them on Google Maps you could very quickly start to pick up on the patterns among the listed locations.

I lived in Boston for a while (with a car, but putting low miles on it)
Curious, did buying groceries more end up costing more?
When I switched from buying in bulk periodically to buying small more often, I can say that my first few weeks definitely cost more. I had a mindset about buying for X weeks out instead of X days out that took a bit to shake. In the process I realized how much food waste I was having by purchasing in bulk and not fully using everything, and I naturally switched to purchasing less at the grocery store. Both because it meant carrying less home but also because it was cheaper. Now I buy more or less exactly what I need and I can say on average my grocery spending is less now (avg monthly) than it was when I was buying in bulk.
I haven’t personally tested this, so this is all an assumption because of how related things work. But I’ve done extensive accessibility testing throughout the years and things tend to act the same.
On the web app for Lemmy, alternative text should be called out instead of the image (well, alongside since it lets you know there’s an image with alt text). When you use an image as the text of a link (so, what is normally a clickable image) it should call out that it’s a link, then that the link is an image, then that the image has alt text. This is not dissimilar to how things work if the image won’t load and the alt text is shown instead.
On mobile apps it’s the wild west, almost entirely depending on if the app developers put in the additional effort to make all of that information available to screen readers. By default not a whole lot is given other than the text itself so images are often completely skipped or called out without the alt text.
I’ve got a mini and am looking into getting another mini or a full size. Caper sounds like a fantastic name considering how sneaky my current one is.
I make use of Reolink cameras with Frigate (mix of PoE and WiFi) and haven’t had any issues with the smart home integration. The only issue I’ve had is with some RLC-811s (and a few other outdoor ones) where water gets into the reset cable and the camera essentially starts boot looping. Seal off those cables and you should be good though.
Tall people vibes right here. When I used to take the train daily at rush hour, I’d squeeze into the car and pin my hand to the ceiling to stabilize myself. Never lost my balance.
I read that as an electric bike originally but now I wonder if you’re right. Mopeds are definitely better than cars but I doubt they’re better than trams.
My understanding is that you’re not going to find a self hosted solution that makes use of SMS (not counting email to SMS gateways) because sending SMS programmatically requires a SMS gateway those aren’t cheap (think of Twilio). You can find many options for app-based notifications (push notifications usually) and email-based notifications as a workaround.
Good point, it doesn’t appear to be. Might be good to drop a note on GitHub (or their contact method of choice) so they can set that flag.
Edit: I just went and sent them a mention on Mastodon. I noticed it’s an admin account so I wonder if Lemmy lets both flags be set at once.
I personally just started using Owntracks, which is a standalone location tracker. There is also Traccar which I looked into but opted not to make use of.
Some people use it as a Find My replacement, I personally make use of it as a Google Maps Timeline replacement (and have imported my previous data as a result) as well as for Tile tracker location history (which I’ve got custom scripted currently).
Wait since when does a tilde mean high availability?
That’s a popular enough opinion that it’s being worked on and should be coming soon.
Definitely agree with this one, though I will say you can replace one proprietary bit of software (Microsoft Office) with another (Google Drive/Docs) and get a large portion of the way in some industries. Really depends on what you need to do.
But alas, still no widely accepted FOSS alternatives.
As someone who has very little experience with ActivityPub but is always interested in learning more, what’s the risk of "burn"ing a domain? Does it come from certs or signatures changing on the same domain, causing it to no longer be accepted or something?
Sorry, connecting might be a bad way to explaining it. You can access communities on other Lemmy instances (as long as they’re federated together, which they probably are).
They’re separate but you can connect to communities across instances. I would recommend posting to !newcommunities@lemmy.world to give it some attention so others are aware it exists.
As someone who has a server rack with multiple servers, I would not recommend them to start with as they use up a ton of electricity. I’d recommend a small form factor computer (or a mid sized tower) to start with, it’ll be marginally less powerful but for what you need it’ll get the job done perfectly fine.
If you have an old desktop laying around, that’s the perfect way to get started. Even if you only have some old parts, that’ll cut down on your initial costs. For anything new I generally recommend looking around at places like https://logicalincrements.com to see what they recommend for CPUs and motherboards at different price points. For hard drives I use https://diskprices.com and also eBay. You generally want motherboards that support 4+ SATA connections or have PCIe slots for an expander in the future.
I believe there’s also a !teachers@lemmy.blahaj.zone which was posted earlier.
I’m shocked nobody has mentioned it, but the primary advantage of Zigbee2MQTT is the ability to run Z2M on a machine different from HA. ZHA unfortunately doesn’t allow for this, which is a shame because my Z2M box (RasPi) is centrally located but my HA box is not.
