Coming from Duolingo I found it a bit overwhelming. I tried one collection, but as I already know Spanish a bit, it was too easy. Any tips?

How to find a cheap ex company PC based on which Intel generation? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Hi sorry to bother you, but I've been researching getting a HP elitedesk 800, probably g3. For Frigate they recommend a Coral. Mini PCIE is cheaper than usb, and with a mini pcie to pcie adapter I should be able to fit it in one of the pcie slots. I'm also planning to add a GPU. But perhaps I don't need the coral if I have a GPU, how's your experience with using a GPU? Would make it easier as it's very hard to find coral devices.

Or, said differently, it was the coolest year for all years to come.

It's much better in a campervan, we never have such issues on freedom sites.

Other than this, it's really great. Most people are friendly and considerate.

Why are some people on campgrounds so inconsiderate? Earlier this week a grandma, mother and child still noisy after 10pm. Kids trying to sleep, so tried to ask politely to be a bit quieter. They inmediately interjected, going full in the defense. This morning, from 5am a woman was talking super loud and fighting with her partner. Later in the morning again super loud to call her child etc.

For the rest it's awesome here.

Good news about 0.19! I read that it's more resource intensive somewhere, not sure if it's true.

Yeah that's probably the easiest, just set it up as second server. Thanks again.

Thanks! So I'm new to multi nodes self hosting stuff, so far have used a Rpi for everything. With that configuration, can you run everything? Most of the things I want to run are dockerized, but eg pi hole had to be installed directly. Most important is better performance for Frigate (web cam monitoring) and immich (photo and video management).

Thanks for your detailed response! Think just an ex lease pc is sufficient for now, but will keep the ServeTheHome in mind.

Thanks, didn't know vPro. Was planning to run Linux on it and access it via Putty, similar to my rpi. Perhaps I'll run Windows on it but with the way MS goes with Windows I'm less inclined to do so. Linux seems a better choice to me.

Will look into vPro, looks cool.

LPT: Get a bidet! Your bottom will thank you. (lemmy.nz)
 

The biggest life improvement for me was to get a bidet after reading about it on Reddit. It's been a game changer. It's so easy to clean up.

When I now have to go to a toilet without one I feel like a caveman. I bought the cheapest one Aliexpress, no bells or whistles, and installed it myself.

Revolut Is Now in New Zealand (Sign up for Waitlist) (www.cheapies.nz)
 

I've been using Wise for a long time and loving it. Revolut seems to be available now in NZ as well, on the Cheapies post I see that people have signed up.

It's nice to have an alternative to Wise. I sometimes buy stuff online in The Netherlands, and Revolut supports Ideal, the most popular payment method there.

Bot status not synced? (lemmy.nz)
 

I'm working on a bug for a community on Lemmy.world and tested with my own account initially. This has marked my account as bot. On Lemmy.nz, I've unchecked that setting, and I'm no longer marked as bot on here.

However, when I view the post and my profile on lemmy.world, I'm still marked as bot? So it looks like profile settings like bot status may not be synced properly between instances?

See my profile on lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/u/[email protected] And the post, in my comments it shows "bot" next to my username: https://lemmy.world/post/276715

And my profile on lemmy.nz: https://lemmy.nz/u/sylverstream The same post, and now I'm not marked as "bot": https://lemmy.nz/post/89563

I love to go on hikes with my kids and wife. Most of the meetups and tramping clubs are doing long walks. Any hiking fans out here wanting to join on shorter walks? (lemmy.nz)
 

We're member of the Hutt Valley tramping club, but they mostly do 6+ hour walks. Also the average age is quite high. I've done long walks, but most of the weekends I'm looking to do shorter ones, up to 4 hours. There is a Wellington Tramping Club on Meetup.com but they also do longer walks.

Perhaps I can set up a separate meetup for people looking to join me on shorter walks?

I've got 2 kids (10 and 7), so feel free to join if you have kids, but it's absolutely no requirement. I'm based in Lower Hutt.

Best way to create a bot for Lemmy? (lemmy.nz)
 

I'm a moderator in one of the Lemmy communities and want to set up a bot to post a message every day. I only found this; is that the best way? I'm a developer, so I'm confident I can set it up on a locally hosted server, but then other moderators won't be able to edit it. Is there a better way to do this?

'Beginner's Guide to Lemmy' Collection (lemmy.nz)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/24569

I know people are confused about how fediverse works and how to use it. This is an attempt to compile a list of beginner's guides made by some amazing people on this topic.

I will update this list if any new guide is made so you can save this post for later. Also, if anyone has any good guide to add post it in the comments and I'll add it here.

Did you start other hobbies after you quit drinking? (lemmy.nz)
 

I used to brew beer and loved it. When I quit, I sold everything and started making ice cream. Loving that too! My daughter is lactose intolerant and this way I can make delicious dairy free ice creams.

Any Overwatch 2 players? It's free to play! (lemmy.nz)

I'm a 41yo male and like to game in evenings on my xbox. Recently discovered Overwatch 2 and this is the first fps where I don't completely suck! Still learning of course. Anyone else playing it? Would be cool to play it with known people instead of random people

It's cross platform so don't have to be on xbox to join me.

Usually online between 8 and 10pm.
