I made LASIM! https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
I currently have 3 accounts (big shock):
I’m pretty sure @ruud@lemmy.world has said before what he uses. I thought back in the day it was publicly listed with the expenses, but I couldn’t find it.
The most recent update I found was here: https://lemmy.world/post/75556
But it could definitely be old information, I’d take the other commenter’s advice and ask in the admin channel to be sure.
Really incredible that the thrusters still function at all after all this time - and that it has any fuel left / usable fuel after all this time.
Sounds like a problem with Memmy. Does this link work? https://lemm.ee/c/sfah@hilariouschaos.com
You should be able to search communities in your app and could have searched “sfah@hilariouschaos.com” too.
But basically communities on Lemmy are in the form of “name@host”. The “name” can be whatever someone wants, and the “host” is the website / Lemmy instance where that community originates from. But because it is federated it’s all available everywhere (generally speaking). For example, if you visit https://lemmy.world/c/sfah@hilariouschaos.com it should be the same content just loaded via lemmy.world instead of lemme.ee. However if theoretically someone went and made a “sfah@lemmy.world” community, that would be a completely separate community from the above, hosted on a different Lemmy instance.
Out of curiosity, what content are you looking for? Discovery on Lemmy can be a problem, but sometimes the communities are there and even active, just buried.
But may I also suggest searching by Top Day/12-hour/6-hour to see the most active posts. Lemmy’s scaled algorithm still doesn’t get it quite right IMO.
The CEO said they were going to add pay-walled subreddits at an earnings call.
So… Yep.
I know for me, at least with gnome, toggling between performance, balanced, and battery saver modes dramatically changes my battery life on Ubuntu, so I have to toggle it manually to not drain my battery life if it’s mostly sitting there. I don’t know if Mint is the same, but just throwing out the “obvious” for anyone else running Linux on a laptop.
Out of curiosity, what switch are you using for your setup?
Last time I looked, I struggled to find any brand of “home tier” router / switch that supported things like configuring vlans, etc.
Maybe I am not thinking of the access control capability of VLANs correctly (I am thinking in terms of port based iptables: port X has only incoming+established and no outgoing for example).
I think of it like this: grouping several physical switch ports together into a private network, effectively like each group of ports is it’s own isolated switch. I assume there are routers which allows you to assign vlans to different Wi-Fi access points as well, so it doesn’t need to be literally physical.
Obviously the benefits of vlans over something actually physical is that you can have as many as you like, and there are ways to trunk the data if one client needs access to multiple vlans at once.
In your setup, you may or may not benefit, organizationally. Obviously other commenters have pointed out some of the security benefits. If you were using vlans I think you’d have at a minimum a private and public vlan, separating out the items that don’t need Internet access from the Internet at all. Your server would probably need access to both vlans in that scenario. But certainly as you say, you can probably accomplish a lot of this without vlans, if you can aggressively setup your firewall rules. The benefit of vlans is you would only really need to setup firewall rules on whatever vlan(s) have Internet access.
I ran into the same thing. I’ve always just worked around it, but I believe I did find the solution at one point (can’t find the link now).
But if I am remembering right, I believe you need to manually create a bridge between the two networks - by default it isolates the VMs from TrueNAS itself for security reasons.
Sorry I can’t link the exact fix right now, but hopefully this will help you Google the post I found on the subject.
Excellent work by the way, much better solution than my own :)
Didn’t get a chance to look at how your app works under the hood, but for LASIM I look up the community by name to get the ID and then call thr subscribe API. The former did seem to trigger the Lemmy instance to “learn” about the community, but it takes awhile, and there is no way to know when it has learned it other than to retry looking it up a few times.
You should see if you can use GitHub Actions to automate builds - they should be unlimited / free for public repos.
Not an expert myself, but I think chips that truly sip power not only have a much lower floor but take even more aggressive actions to reduce power when idle.
Certainly with the right software tuning you could aggressively throttle the CPU to save power - I’m just not sure how much power it would actually save.
I did find this really good article on reducing the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W power consumption: https://www.cnx-software.com/2021/12/09/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w-power-consumption/
I saw this complaint in another post online (paraphrased):
The screen and use of a Pi seem at odds with each other. The screen is ultra-low power, but there are of course huge drawbacks for usability. Meanwhile the CPU is very powerful, but chews through, comparatively, a lot of power quickly.
They argued that it would be better to either pair the Pi with a better screen for a more powerful/usable handheld, or go all in on longevity and use some kind of low-power chip to pair with the screen for a terminal that could last for days.
… I’ve got to say, it’s a fair point. A low power hand-held that could run Linux and run for days would be pretty cool, even if it was underpowered compared to a Pi. No idea what you could use for such a thing though.
There is also a community for finding / announcing new communities:
I’ll throw my tool out there as well: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
Unfortunately, you need access to the old server to download the list of communities and blocks - but that’s true of all tools that do this.
Everyone is saying it’s missing from the API, but I don’t think that can be the case since the regular Lemmy UI uses the API - so far as I know it isn’t doing anything custom compared to apps / other frontends.
You can see all the API endpoints here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/src/api_routes_http.rs
That said, obviously developers have to add those features to their front-ends, and could be waiting for whatever Lemmy API library they use to support certain calls.
Good news! It is going to be an option. Feature was merged into the back-end already - just need someone to update the UI.
FYI LASIM now supports 2FA login
In fairness, my understanding is that there are a lot of complications with adding distributed power to existing grids. That doesn’t mean it shouldn’t happen, just that there are engineering and safety challenges when power is coming from “everywhere” vs centrally.
And of course, there’s a lot of energy companies lobbying against clean power sources as well.
