Summary:

Mastodon — all the privacy

Twitter — pretty bad privacy

Threads — we know everything about you

Nice! Subscribed.

Super cool!

Currently reading The Winter Fortress by Neal Bascomb. It’s a good read so far!

Adding to the chorus of voices telling you to get a Sonoff stick.

The Conbee II is very old at this point and shouldn’t be used for new setups.

What’s an instance?

An instance is a specific website running Lemmy or another piece of federated software. For example, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are two distinct instances

What’s a community?

A community is the “sub-reddit” of Lemmy. Kbin uses the word “magazines”, but these are the same thing.

What are federations?

A federation is a group of instances sharing posts and activity data with each other so that it can be displayed to their respective end users. For example, I can post to a community on lemmy.world and then you will be able to see my post when you are browsing feddit.de.

Whats the difference between all these?

Let me know if you have additional questions based on my answers above.

What’s mastodon?

Mastodon is a piece of federated software that is built to look and feel like Twitter, similar to how Lemmy is built to look and feel like Reddit.

What’s Kbin?

Kbin.social is a website you can use to browse posts from the Fediverse. From what I understand, it is similar to Reddit as well.

What’s ActivityPub?

ActivityPub is the underlying protocol that Lemmy, Mastodon, and other pieces of federated software use to communicate with each other. This is how they notify each other of new posts, comments, upvotes, etc so they can stay in sync with each other.

Thanks again! I appreciate your help – into the rabbit hole I go!

Yes! Let’s make this place feel like home 🙂

Nice, I missed that! I have Apple TVs in every room at my place, so that’s a big upgrade for me.

I worry about your mental health if you implement your button though 😆

Sounds like maybe there’s a little refinement needed for that functionality but, like you said, it’s a step in the right direction!

Lots of cool stuff in this release. I could see some very cool automations being built using the new service responses.

Glad he got a cup, as much as it pains me that it was with Colorado 😝

Thank you for taking the time to reply! That is very helpful.

It sounds like you are a few steps (pun intended) ahead of me in your footwear journey. You have already provided a ton of great info re: the world of hiking that I’ll dive into and research, but do you mind if I ask what your “daily driver” (every day footwear) is at this point?

As you’ve noted, my Vans are probably doing more harm than good, so I’m looking to move away from them in every aspect of my life.

Thanks again for your help.

Man, 35 is too young to go! My thoughts go out to his family.

you told us everything loud and clear, but nobody’s listening

Thanks for all the work that you’re doing!

There’s currently no way to do this, but it is a common suggestion and multiple groups of people are working out potential ways to make it happen.

Memmy is open source

I don’t disagree with the idea, but your terminology needs a bit of tweaking lol.
