Do you guys use any sort of home assistant, e.g. Alexa?

my adventures in #selfhosting - day 198 (summer project edition) ​

Hello Fedi friends,

I hope you've been having a nice week so far.

I've been in childcare mode, thus the silence. I've been thinking about something and I would love to get your advice.

#AskFedi: is there a way to export one's #GoToSocial archive of posts (but not replies to other users)? Like something with command lines that doesn't require tedious copy and paste operations?

I wanted to gather up all the posts about the first 6 months of my self-hosting journey, to neatly organize them on my website (either in multiple blog posts or pages) so that they could be more easily searchable. It's not really ideal to go on an infinite scroll quest in reverse chronological order to see the evolution of my self-hosting journey.

Like, I'm curious to see what I was up to in January but going back in time loading old posts takes forever. And I cannot really search for keywords.

I'd like to keep things organized and easily searchable. And implement a POSSE system going forward... publishing on my site first and then syndicating elsewhere.

It's my summer of POSSE inspired by @molly0xfff

If you have any ideas about how I can easily export all my #GtS posts, I'm all ears.

If not, I suppose I will start copying and pasting everything and do monthly installments of my self-hosting journey (aka "month 1" etc.). After all I have 1125 posts (sigh).

Anyways, I hope this finds you well and that you're keeping cool in this scorching heat (especially fellow Europeans).

have a lovely morning/afternoon/evening wherever you are ​

Hey, I'm looking for potential speakers for a critical lecture on #AI for trade #unions in #Czech Rep. #Hungary and #Ukraine. Fair union wage :)

One local speaker needed in each country. Only interested in people with a track record of addressing social issues, and a somewhat deeper understanding of technology, not reproducing the corporate PR bullshit. Any format of earlier work can be considered. Lecture will be conducted online and promoted by some of the biggest unions.

What are your thoughts on Aegis Authenticator?

So I have this error by nixos-rebuild, any clues on how to fix?

I'm rather excited. Tomorrow morning, I am having a tour and meeting with the manager for the local assisted living facility for myself.

This is honestly all new to me, so I would be most grateful for any suggestions on questions to ask or red flags to watch out for.

Hey, I know that Intel has been improving Linux support on their lunar lake chips but I want more second opinion. ​​

#AskFedi: Where would you source thin threaded heat-set inserts? For a project (https://chaos.social/@crypticcelery/113805408595401148), I am looking for M3.5 (I believe, for passing through the fans and fixing them to the heatsink) ones, ideally not super tall.
Local hardware store is rather disappointing, and I would like to ideally avoid e.g. Amazon.

Hey Finnish Fedi!

Is it really legal to drive a quad (technically a mopo) on a "sallittu mopoille" bike road?

It's rather wide.

I have a rather large collection of very old Hornby and Triang railway track, controllers, engines, carriages and other miscellaneous plastic buildings or props. My sons used it a little when they were young but neither seem interested in inheriting it. Do I sell it now or stick it all in storage? #askfedi

#AskFedi I have 20 000+ unread emails in an IMAP-enabled inbox. What's my best hope, other than deleting all of them? I would like to start with the most prolific senders and any newsletters I can trim out, but Thunderbird locks up with this much shit.

Hat hier jemand zufällig ne Empfehlung für #Fitness Watches, die mit Open Source Apps und ohne die Software vom Hersteller funktionieren? Oder die ohne W-Lan auskommen und offline ohne Datenweitergabe laufen? Letzteres halte ich für unwahrscheinlich aber wenn das jemand weiß, dann ihr. :D #sport #foss #askfedi

Hypothetically, if someone got T-boned and the air bags went off, smoke in the car, etc. car needed to get towed. Would it likely be totaled?

I'm (hypothetically) trying to determine if I need to be looking for a replacement car or trying to rent a car while the insurance process runs it's course. It's unclear if insurance would cover a rental loaner based on the policy document.

Can someone recommend a FOSS weather app for #android? I have one, but it sucks at providing info about severe weather. #askfedi

Frage: Warum kann Mastodon nur vier Bilder pro Beitrag? Einen technischen Grund gibt es ja anscheinend nicht.

Hat jemand gute Tipps, wie man eine Gravur in einem Ring wieder lesbar machen kann?
Wir haben einen Ring, wo die Gravur sehr abgenutzt ist, aber noch leicht erkennbar. Wir würden gerne die Buchstaben erkennen können, um die Herkunft aufzuklären.
Ist in Familienbesitz seit Jahrzehnten, also nicht gestern auf der Straße gefunden.
