Hadn't considered using NFC tags to have my kids control other things in the house. Interesting idea!

Thank you! Finally managed to quit vim!

I looked at how many WebSocket connections a single server could keep open, and it seems quite high: https://unetworkingab.medium.com/millions-of-active-websockets-with-node-js-7dc575746a01

That being said, I do agree with you that it's inefficient to open a connection to every other instance.

About your proposals:

  • I don't think your first solution is feasible. How would an instance know which other 10 instances to notify?
  • I do like your idea of batching operations together! Would definitely cut back on the amount of HTTP calls and signature validations. Perhaps this can even be extended further: right now every user interaction is signed before its been sent to other instances. Would be interesting if the instance itself also has a public/private key and that it can sign a whole batch at once (rather then signing every single user interaction).

These posts are really useful to get a grasp of ActivityPub (if you have a programming background): https://rknight.me/building-an-activitypub-server/ https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-basic-activitypub-server/

And of course the official spec (although its less useful): https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

That's a good point. I opened an issue on Github to propose such a limit: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3452

And a followup question: wouldn’t it be more efficient for big instances to use WebSockets to federate? Making a HTTP request for every action your users take seems unnecessarily wasteful.

Amazing blog post! Been reading the ActivityPub spec and found it rather lacking. It’s only when you add WebFinger and signed messages that things start to make sense.

Well, it takes 9 months to make a baby. So technically October to January are the most "active" months ;)

I like to think that fries are our national pride, but foreigners call them French fries, and are confused when you explain they're actually from Belgium.

So, what is our national pride?

Not a big waffle guy myself, so I guess chocolate then?

 

Hi everyone,

I have a Strelitzia Nicolai which isn't doing too well. Most of the leaves are turning yellow/brown, some of them having spots. This happened last year as well. After a while, I cut them off, and they eventually regrow.

The plant is on a hydroculture with a water meter.

I don't think its due to overwatering. Once the meter indicates zero, I wait 4 days before refilling to the "optimal" level on the meter.

I also don't think it's because of a lack of sunlight. The plant stands in our "veranda" (sorry for the Dutch term, no good English term seems to exist). Plenty of sunlight. In the winter, the temperature never drops below 16. In the summer it almost never drops below 20.

The plant receives a fertilizer for hydroculture plants roughly every 6 months. Last time was about 2 months ago.

Any thoughts on what could be going on? I've had this plant for 4 years, and only been struggling with it the last 2.

Hi everyone!

I currently have a Neato D7 with a broken brush motor. It's 3 years old, so no more warranty.

Given that Neato is shutting down, I want to buy a new vacuum altogether.

Here's my wishlist:

  • Home Assistant integration (duh)
  • Vacuum + mopping
  • Local control would be cherry on top
  • LIDAR navigation (we run it mostly during the night)
  • Easy to service & reliable (should be easy to service the robot and buy replacement parts)

Any suggestions / recommendations?
