Yes, the about site needs a lot of work. The demo site is using the Lemmy frontend but Java Springboot backend. The whole intent of the first milestone release is to be a drop-in replacement for Lemmy. It's after that where we will differentiate with things like better moderation/admin support, etc... The federation service will be built in Golang. And yeah, we need to do a lot more work on outlining what work needs to be completed in the form of issues. Those 8 for sure are things that need to be done though.
Hi @synlogic@toot.io appreciate it, but we have no budget for paying contributors (we aren't even covering base costs let along paying ourselves). This is an open source project where we don't have any plans to monetize the platform itself (we might consider building things down the line that are paid add-ons, but nothing that would be essential for running your own instance self-hosted)
I don't know how you feel as I've never personally experienced losing a job, but I emphasize with what you might be going through. I've had friends and family that have gone through it (or going through it now). You are not your job. You are sooo much more. Losing a job may suck, but you will recover and be better from it (even if it takes time).
Thanks. That's actually a bit helpful. I think I'm similar to you on the "tick the box" feeling
Hmm, the stack/heap approach IS interesting. I might try giving that a try.
Re: exercise, it wasn't what I was asking about but it's still a good reminder. I try to take daily walks, but I could be better at other exercise in general (I paid for a sit/stand desk and always forget to adjust it to stand mode so I end up sitting all day)
The restaurant pagers is sheer genius. I can already envision the "why is that thing blinking? Oh yeah I need to do X" trigger. Unfortunately I doubt it would work for me because of the time predictability requirement (probably a big reason I struggle with planners in general I imagine), but still... my mind is blown on that one
I have tried a couple of different "daily planner" type strategies (Bullet Journal, etc...), but none of them seem to stick. I'm looking for ideas on how others are able to organize their daily/weekly/whatever to see if any of them would make sense for me (or maybe even trigger inspiration to take parts from ideas and make my own). I'm pretty sure whatever I go with would have to be digital (carrying a physical notebook with me was part of the reason Bullet Journal didn't work), but I'm not opposed to trying an analog technic again. Also, depending on the strategy I could probably "convert" it to digital and use Obsidian or another tool (I'm an iOS user).
So... when was I "in the zone"/hyperfocused? This questions clearly is for the wrong audience 😂
I replied on this in a Matrix room already. I won't retype my whole reply here. Essentially, IMO GPL stifles innovation as it forces everyone to use the same license and for everyone to release their code. This might be a good thing when it comes to concerns over competition (eg Threads vs everyone else), but it is a bad thing when it comes to building a community around a platform (theme developers can't sell custom themes because they also have to publicly release their code under GPL. Plugin developers have the same issue. Technically, 3rd party apps should be releasing their code as well). Yes, there are many people who enjoy contributing to open source (myself included). However, there are also many that want to be recognized (financially) for their work. GPL ignores the latter. The fediverse already has a mechanism to guard against some corporation coming in and taking the code from a platform and building a commercial product on top of it - defederation. We don't need GPL to "protect" us from anyone here).
NOTE: I also am not a lawyer. I might have some things wrong w/r/t GPL. However, I'm old enough to remember when it was actually an important OS license and when it was truly needed. I don't believe that is the case any more. LGPL might be fine, but the rest of the variants should only be used after extremely careful consideration and not just as a default.
How does everyone feel about it? Should I keep it? Turn it off? Change it's frequency? (If so, to what?). It feels like it's the biggest poster here and I don't know if that is a good thing or not? I see some responses to it (which is good), but I also see a few that don't get responses. If it's just about the prompts it is giving I could try tuning that as well. Please let me know what you all think.
About 20 minutes before I'm supposed to go to bed. I then don't realize until about 90 minutes AFTER I really should have gone to bed 😳
I guess it's different. Just very similar to the July 21st one: https://discuss.online/post/280016
Also, to answer the question:
- I fixed you 😊
- I was able to make sense of activity-pub enough to start working on a federation tool
- I got all our "memory" boxes put up either in the attic or in the garage. I know it doesn't sound that impressive, but I'd been procrastinating on it for too long.
We've tried rolling back multiple times in a couple of different ways. They all end up failing. From what we have seen through it all, Lemmy doesn't support downgrading/rolling back
We are aware of an issue with some clients not being able to sync (receiving 502 errors, etc..). It does not appear to affect all clients and the web view is still working. We will update this post as we know more and when we have resolved it.
Updates:
--- 09-Sept 11:19 PM UTC We attempted to roll back from Lemmy v0.18.4-beta.8 to v0.18.4 (as well as even earlier beta versions) but the service failed to start. We've reverted back to v0.18.4-beta.8 for now and will continue investigating the cause of the sync issues.
--- 10-Sept 3:30 AM UTC And... we are back, where we started. If you hadn't noticed, we were down for almost 2.5 hours while we tried to rollback the database migrations introduced in the beta releases so we could go back to the stable v0.18.4. When that failed, we tried to restore from the backup we took just prior to the rollback attempt. When that failed, we used Digital Ocean's restore to point in time and created a new DB cluster and switched to it. So... we are back on v0.18.4-beta.8 again, with the expectation that 3rd party clients are still broken. Unfortunately, we are not sure what we can do about this as we believe it is something in Lemmy that is breaking it. The mitigation we have put in place to avoid this going forward is that we no longer use the "latest" tag when loading a docker image and now hard lock to a specific version. We will update that version in a more intentional manner going forward.
--- 10-Sept 4:15 AM UTC After some additional digging through the Lemmy diff for beta.5 to beta.8 (and then looking through the PRs that were merged to create this diff), the issue is indeed with the Lemmy code and is even called out in one of the PRs,. What this means is that the 3rd party clients that are not able to access the site will need to update their code to fix things on their side (or else they will be broken when v0.19 is released and all other instances update to it).
--- 16-Sept 11:23 PM UTC Both Sync and Mlem have now released new versions that resolve connectivity issues. If there are any remaining clients we suggest you reach out directly to them to ask them. We'll be unpinning this post in a few hours
--- 27-Sept 10:30 PM UTC We have made the decision to update to the RC (release candidate) for v19 as the beta we were previously on was missing some much-missed admin tools that we need to run the site with. This update appears to have affected 3rd parties again (I have tested Mlem and Memmy and get errors about authentication, however they still seem to load?). There also appears to be an issue with the home page loading that we are currently looking into how to resolve. As before, we don't anticipate any way to roll back. To steal a line from my daughter's favorite movie: Keep Moving Forward
--- 28-Sept 12:03 AM UTC We found an issue with the markdown parsing that was causing the homepage sidebar to throw errors. We've resolved the issue and will update the core developers of Lemmy.
--- 03-Oct 1:28 AM UTC We have implemented a workaround that should have fixed all apps. Please let us know if you are still having issues with an app (we may not be able to add a workaround for it, but we would like to at least track the ones not working)
ADD is not a medically valid term anymore
Hmm, I've heard/read that in ADHD forums also, but this doctor used the phrase "ADD, not ADHD because you don't meet the criteria for hyperactivity". Perhaps they said it that way because of my age (assuming I would understand ADD vs ADHD because there was previously a distinction). I can ask for clarification at my next visit.
I like what you are saying on the Executive Function Disorder. I know that when I used to hear "ADHD", I used to picture a kid I knew back in high school that would literally bounce off walls when he was off his meds. That is definitely not me. I do struggle with impulsivity a little though and I would argue I have an "attention deficit" problem as I can be staring a person in their eyes as they talk yet not hear a word they are saying as my mind is somewhere else entirely. I can also struggle with paying attention in meetings as I just want to get back to some other task I was working on (no matter how important I believe the meeting to be).
I'm 44. I've worked remote for a number of years and I think that's helped me cope as I was able to break my work time up with "life" stuff when I had trouble focusing on work things. However, I've struggled with personal projects where I will have times that I can sit and make a ton of progress and then other times where I will stare at a computer screen or the mechanical keyboard I want to build and my brain will simple refuse to allow me to get started. I've found Inflow to be informative and I've been working with one of their coaches on implementing different tools to help with focus during work meetings, etc...
I got my ADD diagnosis today (no "h" as I don't meet the criteria for hyperactivity). It felt validating to hear a doctor say what I've felt for a while now.
Somewhere in Providence. Not exactly sure. I have an uncle that has like 5 acres of land up in a wooded area. He built his driveway like an "S" so you can't see the house from the street.
Not sure why people don't like it. The video resonated with me and helped explain issues with motivation when it comes to ADHD. Maybe my comments on the post should have been more/longer?
Hey all,
I’m going to change the frequency of the question bot from daily to weekly. It seems to get a few upvotes every so often, but very little engagement. My hope with having it at all was to create an “ice breaker” type post to get others to feel open enough to engage in the community. Let me know your thoughts though if you would rather it be even less often or not at all.
Hey everyone,
I'm working on some automation that I will add to a bot account for posting the daily question. I'd love if anyone has suggestions for questions/topics. I'll add a credit mention for you if I use a submission (or keep you anonymous if you want). Feel free to reply here or DM me
Here is today's question: > Share a piece of advice you would give your younger self
Hey all, I’m going to try posting a “daily” question (I say “daily” because I very likely will forget to post a question every day). Here’s the first one:
> What positive qualities can you acknowledge and celebrate in yourself today?
