Is there any way to connect the bsky android app to the atproto.africa relay or a third party appview that uses the atproto.africa relay? I wouldn’t mind using bsky more if there was a clone of the android app that doesn’t use the bsky relay/appview. Looking at whtwnd it appears to be just web and not native apps?

I would like to host my own PDS and access bsky through a native app using third party relay+appview, but I haven’t seen a way to do this yet.

It’s time to get with the RCS program, already!

Tell that to my MVNO 😮‍💨

It completely depends on the project and the maintainer. Lots of repos are just source files, some include instructions on how to compile, some have no instructions. Some post releases with a pre compiled executable that you can download and run, others post releases that just have a zip of the source code. Some projects use GitHub pages to host detailed manuals, tutorials, etc.

If you share a link to a specific project, people may be able to help you get it running. Whether or not you need a bunch of tools like an IDE just depends on the project.

Already on my wishlist apparently, I remember seeing some early gameplay footage and being sold on multiplayer combat with a ship that seems to act like a mobile base.

…animal noises?

!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

No problems playing the Ethel or megusta releases here. Were you able to play the files initially? They might just be corrupted. Which release group did you grab?

Since you want to avoid supports and cleanup, what I would do is modify the model to flatten out the inside of the dome. You can do it easily in most slicers by adding a cylinder part and squishing it until it’s more like a disc.

A flat roof to the inside of the dome will cause it to switch to bridging for that section which won’t be perfect but will be a lot better than stringing, especially if you play around with thick bridges.

If it was only a small daily fee then it would be perfect for trading seedlings but you have to reserve a booth for the whole season (the fee is about $300 btw) and you have to pay a fine ($50) if you’re late setting up your booth or don’t give 48hrs notice that you won’t be at your reserved booth any of the days it runs.

You also apparently need a sales tax license to participate.

In other words, like I said our farmers market is only for businesses. If you go stand in the corner and trade seedlings then you’ll probably get kicked out

Our local farmers market unfortunately only really allows vendors and requires an application process (and a sales tax license) - ie you can’t just hang out and trade seedlings and stuff with people without paying a booth fee (of ~$300) so it’s really only for people running a business. There’s also a fine for every day you’re late to your booth so it’s not feasible to pay for a space if you’re not going to show up and sell stuff all season long.

You also can’t apply for a booth later than like 4 months before the season (applications are closed in like Dec) so it’s really not geared towards someone who isn’t selling lots of product.

What model size did you run on your laptop? I have an Intel Nuc with an i7 and I run various models on CPU (it doesn’t have a dedicated GPU) and while I can’t run stuff larger than ~14b or so, models up to around ~7b aren’t too slow. If I try to run a 32b then I get a similar experience to you. I tend not to go below 4b because that’s when it starts being dumb and not following instructions well, so just depends on how complex your task is.

Immich is pretty good for this if you take pictures at each location. It has a global map that shows all your photos with a heatmap-style display and a drawer that shows a grid of the photos within your viewport as you can and zoom around. It doesn’t seem like you can view a specific album on the map currently but you can at least filter the map to favorites or a date range.

I think you can use Immich external libraries for this, also to be extra safe you can just mount your external images folder as read only by adding :ro to the docker volume mount so that the container won’t be able to modify anything as a precaution.

I use a .dev and it just works with letsencrypt. I don’t do anything special with wildcards, I just let traefik request a cert for every subdomain I use and it works. I use the tls challenge which works on port 443, so I don’t think HSTS or port 80 matters, but I still forwarded port 80 it so I can serve an http->https redirect since stuff like curl and probably other tools might not know about HSTS.

Gotcha thanks for the info! It looks like I would be fine with ocis or opencloud, but since my main use case and pain points are with document editing which is collabora, it probably wouldn’t change much besides simplifying the docker setup (I had to make a gross pile of nginx config stuff pieced together from many forum help posts to get the nextcloud fpm container to work smoothly). But it already works so unless it breaks there’s little incentive for me to change.

Ah I see, I guess at least that would help with the main UI, but I’m already using collabora through the collabora code server in next cloud so it sounds like I’ll probably have the same document editing experience with OCIS/opencloud. I used to use onlyoffice but after I tried out their mobile app, it started blocking me from editing documents using the next cloud app (which seemed to use the only office web UI) so I was forced to switch unless I started paying for onlyoffice.

What are the apps that you would miss? I basically only use my NC as a Google drive and docs replacement, so all it has to do is store docx files and let me edit them on desktop or mobile without being glitchy and I’ve really wanted to consider OCIS or similar.

That second requirement for me seems hard because of how complex office suites are, but NC is driving me to my wit’s end with how slow and error prone it is, and how glitchy the NC office UI is (like glitches when selecting text or randomly scrolling you to the beginning).

Well, they can be simultaneously true if one person has a terrible experience because of Nvidia and another person with an all amd build who happens to have a Linux friendly touchpad (is that still a problem these days?) might have a perfect experience out of the box.

I think that’s a major weakness, that windows will be good or bad in various ways but it’s very consistent - the things that suck usually suck for everyone. With Linux everything depends, not only on hardware but with your use case, the distro you pick, the tools you use, etc.

Ah gotcha, I see where the confusion came from then. I wasn’t considering the hypothetical scenario where he magically increases water pressure but instead thinking about what will happen in reality when the legislation allows people to get higher flow shower heads (and imagining some of them might be disappointed when it feels less forceful, though I’m sure plenty would enjoy an increased flow if that’s their preference). His talk about pressure is a stand in for the actual details of the EO which is actually about low flow fixtures (and I assume low gallon per flush toilets but I didn’t read that far).

I admit I was thrown off trying to figure out what we were saying differently, I’m sure I could be more specific though about the hypothetical I was describing. I did a solid semester in multivariate calculus just solving flow equations so it would bring great dishonor to my teacher if I mixed anything up haha.

I appreciate the in-depth response but I think you are misunderstanding the point of my comment.

My comment isn’t denying that increased pressure at the source can increase flow rate (note I say that you can’t increase pressure with a high flow shower head, I am not talking at all about changing the source pressure) - I’m just pointing out that people often conflate flow rate with pressure at the outlet, especially in domestic settings where the flow is intentionally restricted by design (like low-flow shower heads). In this case, pressure is maintained, but the flow rate is reduced by narrowing the outlet, which people mistakenly believe is a loss in pressure, while not realizing that they traded flow for that higher output velocity.

When I say that “flow and pressure are inversely proportional,” I thought it was obvious that I was referring to how flow and pressure behave given a fixed source, since this entire conversation is about changing only the fixture. This is more about the relationship in practice when you change the outlet restriction. I’m talking about the “perceived drop in pressure” (what people mistakenly call pressure) when using a low-flow shower head, which is actually a result of lower water volume, not lower pressure per se. I’m definitely NOT talking about supply pressure and flow being inversely proportional, that’s obviously not true.

So when Trump or others push for “high flow” heads thinking they’ll get “higher pressure,” they’re misunderstanding how their own plumbing works. High-flow fixtures let more water through, sure, but if your supply system can’t support that extra flow (especially with other fixtures in use), then the actual outlet force (again, what people call “pressure”) feels weaker, not stronger. That’s the irony I was trying to highlight.

Your garden hose analogy is solid, and I think you’re mostly in agreement with my original point. You’ve just interpreted it as a misuse of Bernoulli, when I’m really commenting on how the misunderstanding comes from conflating pressure with flow, especially in domestic scenarios.

To clarify:

Increasing pressure, with no other changes, absolutely changes flow rate

I don’t think I have disagreed with this - I mentioned replacing shower heads with higher flow shower heads, but of course that doesn’t change the supply pressure, instead the loss in restriction lowers the velocity coming out of the shower head

Bernoulli’s principle that effectively states as flow increases, pressure decreases (and vice versa) when the source is not changed

I believe I stated the same when I said that they are inversely proportional when you are only changing the outlet nozzle

Since the bottleneck is more likely to be the miles of pipes and hundreds of bends, flow rate can’t really be inherently increased but pressure can

Yes, this is what happens when you put a low flow fixture, you trade flow for outlet velocity

The proper application of the principle is at the outlet with a steady source

This is exactly and solely what I am talking about

However, if you try to fill a bucket, you’ll likely find they fill at nearly the same rate

This is about the only thing I disagree on - you can fill up a bucket on the shower setting much faster than you can on mist, this is the entire principle behind low flow fixtures. If adding restriction to an outflow didn’t reduce the flow then it would be pointless.

In short I really think we are mostly in agreement, I think you are mistaking my comment as talking about the relationship between flow and source pressure, which is definitely not what I am talking about since changing your shower head obviously doesn’t change the characteristics of the water source. If there is something specific I said that doesn’t agree with what you said then please point it out, because it really feels like you are just repeating my intended message.
