I would even go so far as require that vote/confirmation within 24hrs, especially if it’s a real™ emergency.

It’s 2025, we can reach anyone in an instant. And if circumstances require it, (I don’t know, say everything west of the Mississippi goes missing), then make a list of who can check in(similar to the rules of succession for president) when the call goes out, and if they are able to respond.

Only a shock to folks who still think Democrat centerists are what’s gonna win the votes

Just another reminder that the Republicans have the power to stop this ride at any time they want.

They just did this to me. How can I tell them they failed this test?

I just recently stood up a self-hosted ttrss myself, the instance I used from just after the death of reader fizzled out due to server moves, and all the feeds there also fizzeled out. I’m thirsty for some myself.

My local Government’s CMS has a bunch of RSS feeds I added, useful to try and stay on top of things. You may be surprised to if you dig into your local town’s web site. UNFORTUNATELY my State Government’s legislature seems to have HAD rss feeds, but the link was removed, and it’s commented out in the HTML source.

You can drink US Government actions raw and unfiltered from the many RSS feeds available at the firehose here: https://www.govinfo.gov/feeds

They should cut to the chase and form The Ministry of Truth, the Ministry of Peace, the Ministry of Love, and the Ministry of Plenty

I have a bunch of ESP32’s that … I can update and replace the firmware on, if i reset it the right way with a usb cable. the web site doesn’t explain it any way how this is any worse than that…?

Seconding fetchmail. It’s configuration is quite elaborate for a whole bunch of situations. I’ve used it in a small office situation to pull email from their legacy ISP’s POP into an internal IMAP server, so they could have multiple clients sharing mailboxes. (And so they couldn’t set weak passwords on an internet-connected system :-/ )

Are you posting in /b/ ? The moderators of /b/ are also freed from many of the usual rules, and they have often removed posts or issued bans for any and no reason at all.

There is an ongoing attempt to create an equivalence of Trans Persons (and anyone exposing youth to LGBTQ+ ideas in any form, including loving families) to pedophiles through CONSTANT repetition, despite any lack of widespread evidence. There is also a simultaneous attempt to strongly advocate for death penalty for pedophiles. I’m sure you can see where this is heading …

Busy with day to day affairs, gotta pay rent/mortgage/medical bills, gotta feed the family, gotta keep working, can’t take risks, …

It would be amusing if the surviving family did not support this underhanded move, and spoke out about it.

It would be the point of no return for the USA, and the conclusive end to the “Pax Americana” . Invading a peaceful neighbor? Unthinkable for a “so-called” stable country. The rest of the world rally to Canada’s side, there would be an effort to ‘contain’ the further damage we could do. (Mexico would finally pay for that wall :-/ ) We would no longer be trusted, and in that vacuum of power the rest of the countries of the world would be thrown into such a frenzy to fill that power, or to align with who they think could.

The battery turning into a Spicy pillow is always a Concern for using laptop as an always powered on server. So even though you will be away from it, make sure that there is a way for someone to keep an eye on it, once every week or two.

That said, I have been using a dell laptop as a desk workstation (and remote use) with an uptime of 2.5 years at this point.

I also use syncthing. And it works pretty well. There is some turmoil with the android version in light of changes so the underlying sdk. And I am not sure there is an iOS syncthing that would work as well. I actually use it primarily to sync my keepass databases, and before Immich, my photos.

The photo management Immich brings makes it a nice alternative for that use case, but either way I need to have one or more servers elsewhere managing storage so I can get things off of my phone into a system I can control.

I use Immich because I have multiple devices and multiple people uploading photos to it , so we can all organize together.

Self hosting anything also gives you a lot of practice and experience (and confidence) to also self hosting anything for others, an important skill for many to have in order to have a more distributed internet.

Then everyone goads Trump till he turns on his former masters and they all burn it down.

Playwright is still fully oss with no “closed” fork?

No.

/me pines for the days of protocol over interface. NNTP + killfiles were the bees knees. Then we could just all pick our own interface to connect to any lemmy host.
