I use it to see the occasional post of family and very old friends from school for example. Or to see what my old band mates are up to who live in the other countries after I left for a new country.

There is no other platform any of those people post.

Ah interesting to see where our Korea community is running on :D

How do you know they don’t refer to Alpine Linux?

So I’m posting in !korea@lemmy.funami.tech but most of the posts there are by me, I wish more people in Korea would post but it seems we are very few here on the Threadyverse.

I just bought a random UPS at MediaMarkt back in the day in Poland and calculated that it would be able to power all the CCTV cams, the CCTV recorder, a raspberry pi and the modem which is connected to a long range WiFi antenna for at least half an hour. This worked very well for a couple of years until the battery gave up. The one I had had a ethernet port but I never bothered to set it up to send the signal.

Mine was running at my parents summer house in Poland while my parents live in Germany and I in Sweden and now in Korea, so if something breaks down it’s down for up to a year until someone goes there to fix it.

Right now everything is down, my dad was there a couple of month ago and said that a marten chew up the Ethernet cables. Sadly my dad couldn’t fix it so now I hope I will be able to get there during Christmas.

Go to https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/wiki/FAQ search for Multilingual typing and follow how to set it up.

If the language doesn’t use the Latin alphabet then it won’t work, like for me with Korean.

You set up which languages you want to have there and then it switches between them when you just start writing automatically.

I use HeliBoard because I have to switch between 5 languages (German, Polish, English, Swedish and Korean) constantly and it does it for the most part (other than the korean) automatically for me.

I didn’t think of clipboard history yet, but I know that Keepass2Android deletes the copied passwords after a while, that’s kind of good enough for me.

I’ve come to understand that being alone isn’t necessarily being lonely

I hope more people can realize that.

Oh it’s very popular in the automotive industry, especially for the in vehicle infotainment like navigation, radio, media playerand so on. They even offer a automotive specific version of it:

Sadly most of the OEMs slowly move to Android.

I worked a bit on the previous version of Neptune UI https://doc.qt.io/archives/neptune3ui/ wit QML and I worked mostly with integration of https://doc.qt.io/QtApplicationManager/ into different cars. But I stayed in Sweden for that.

Ah back in the day I also joined a group of friends doing board games like once a month and became a regular in that group. That’s really cool and like you say really something to look forward too.

Ah so you’re not doing night shift at work or something so you’re asleep during the day. What’s the reason you’re not awake during the day? Wouldn’t that be a good first step to synchronize the time you’re awake with others?

A couple of years ago I worked from home during summer leave from university and slowly shifted to night work and day sleep. That had the same effect as for you, totally out of sync with everyone so I couldn’t meet with anyone, couldn’t call anyone, etc. I was so happy that summer leave was over and I was forced to sync up with the rest of the country and meet everyone again.

Oh, back in Sweden I also had regular movie nights with two or three friends. What was cool and made it less awkward was that we restricted it to only old classic movies from before 2000. That way we could say we’re very sophisticated movie enthusiasts and we also learned a lot about classic movies which none of us would usually watch ourselves at home. That was great fun.

Just coincidence, mostly because I followed love and first time because I am a late repatriate.

But but our beloved tankies here on Lemmy post links to articles on how great the Russian economy is doing day in and day out, there must be some truth to that! /s

For me it was/is exactly the same. I’ve not been using reddit a lot anyway but once I heard about Lemmy I was very quick to move around the API disaster. I also don’t know anyone from reddit so I didn’t have a desire to convince anyone.

I spread the news around in my other networks and I think 2 people joined lemmy, but they would have joined without me advocating for it anyway probably.

I think it does not make it less funny, everyone believes it because it’s so in character.

I did it for a year or so, exactly the same thing, I have a bunch of websites and other services like matrix, mastodon, peertube running on that server.

I found out the hard way that Lemmy is really not optimized for single user instances on a small VPS. In the beginning it was OK but the more they optimized for big instances like Lemmy.world and .ml the word it ran with few resources.

In the end it was so bad that it would Hogg all the servers resources and bring the whole server down every couple of hour so that I had to hard reboot it.

The worst part was that this impacted alł my other services and websites which went down with it every couple of hours. I tried to get a beefier server but that only helped until the next update.

In the end I switched to Piefed and couldn’t be happier. It uses a lot less resources as a single user instance so I could downgrade the server again and it’s written in python so I can much easier help working on it, no need to compile anything, etc. And it has a cool template engine which let’s you easily modify how it looks and feels.
