More like those Ionic Breeze air purifiers.

I think the answers are going to be highly subjective, but in general, I think any sense of humor is “good” unless it’s “punching down” humor or based on racism, sexism, or other stereotypes

Nice! I run a few things for local businesses out of my lab, but they’re mostly charity to keep them from setting up on Facebook lol.

My homelab is probably the longest running, but it runs things that I depend on, so I can’t say it’s much of a side project.

Probably Tesseract since I absolutely figured my interest would have fizzled out long ago.

Still fine tuning it, but I think it’s gonna make it into the next release 🎉

I just put together a basic API endpoint and am successfully scraping the video URLs. Have a very rough integration working in dev, so I think this is going to be supported soon :)

Edit: Hell yeah!

I’m 100% planning on integrating loops, but there’s a problem that needs solved. The embed data returned when querying a loops link doesn’t include an embed video URL (which is how most but not all of the embed media is rendered). There’s also nothing in the metadata for a loops link that can derive the video URL (which is a trick I use for some other embed media or where I don’t want the user to have to use the special “share” links).

I’ve emailed the Loops team asking if they would add the oc:video meta tag in the header info, but I have not heard back.

If that doesn’t pan out, I have tested hotlinking the video URL, and I can get that to render.

Ex: https://dubvee.org/post/2293134

Since that works, and if all else fails, I can add a server-side API endpoint to Tesseract that will fetch the loops page, parse it for the video tag, and essentially scrape the page to get the video link. That’s messy, but I can make it work (though I’d prefer not to).

Tesseract has had PeerTube embed support for well over a year now. There’s nothing stopping other UIs from supporting them 🤷🏻‍♂️

They work great when sharing a PeerTube link in Lemmy, but I’ve had issues where subscribing to a Peertube channel either doesn’t pull anything or only does an initial pull of a few videos. New posts don’t seem to come in. That’s some Lemmy to/from Peertube federation trouble. However, on the PT posts that do come in, i can upvote/downvote and comment on them.

I’ve never been more satisfied hosting my own email than after reading this.

Look, I’m not saying it was Skynet, but I’m also not saying it wasn’t.

I find it highly interesting how in the replies to your message people are proving you right:-).

Lol, what replies? I guess I’ve already blocked most/all the people I was referring to (or they’re on .ml which I don’t federate with for pretty much this exact reason)

[The rest of it]

When, out of nowhere, people put other people into boxes, ascribe a political label to them, and put words in their mouths without knowing anything about them, it is a HUGE turn off to me as far as interactions go.

e.g. A comment that’s taken out of context and the reply is basically, “Hurr, durr, that’s such an enlightened centrist thing to say. Guess you’re okay with a little fascism, huh, lib?”. That’s pretty fucking cringe and going to make me immediately block the person saying it (and I have and will continue to do so). Like, if that’s how their mind works, taking things out of context, jumping to conclusions, and projecting labels out of nowhere: I got nothing for them.

I’m not here with an agenda, I’m not trying to spread my beliefs, I’m not trying to convert anyone to anything (except maybe Linux lol), etc. I just wanna share and talk about cool shit.

And you know there’s someone reading this thinking (and possibly commenting) that the fact I haven’t announced myself to the room as a raging leftie means I must be a nazi in disguise. (Nope. Just someone who’s not here for political shit). My political beliefs and leanings are my own, and if they’re not apparent from my post/comment history, then whoever’s judging me just hasn’t paid attention.

As for how I treat people, as long as they’re clearly operating in good faith and with a good attitude, I welcome them until such time they’ve veered outside of civility or proven to be a troll, actual Nazi, or otherwise.

Hey, at least I’ve got an electric mower, lol, so the noise factor is limited.

NGL, when it was in the 60s the other day, I was tempted to. I seeded in early October and mowed it through late November (still above freezing) since it was growing and wanted to prune it to help it thicken.

Yep, I subbed to that one when it moved from .world

Subbed

Thanks. I just had the main domain blocked, but I think I needed all of the subdomains as well. From the looks of those worker domains, it may be a cat-mouse game trying to keep them blocked.

I’m unfamiliar with Clubsall. Is it pulling them via federation or fetching via API? Would defederating work? I appear to have already defederated, likely in response to your earlier post, but not sure if that does anything. And that only stops them from pulling content from my instance, not what I posted to any other.

I don’t care so much about the range of political views, just the quantity of them.

Too many people on Lemmy make their political ideology their entire identity, and it’s just freaking exhausting.

Can we not just be people talking to other people about cool stuff? I just get sick of political ideologies masquerading as people.

Oh, nice. I knew Alien: Romulus was getting one, but it seemed like an outlier/gimmick than anything else.
