I think Piefed has a workable API now, but the big limitation for me is that all of the components that make up Tess are tightly coupled to Lemmy’s type definitions.

To support Piefed, I would need to make a translation layer to build Lemmy-esque objects from Piefed’s API responses. That’s perfectly doable, but Lemmy’s type definitions are also limiting a lot of things I want to do. I’ve extended a few of them but, really, I need to re-write most of these components to use platform agnostic interfaces that meet my own needs while mapping both Lemmy and Piefed objects to those.

Unfortunately, that’s going to take a lot of work that I just don’t have time to dedicate to right now. Life has been hectic to say the least.

The Lemmy API doesn’t combine duplicates/crossposts together and requires it to be done client-side by detecting duplicate URLs when calling getPosts() to generate the feed. This means most apps that do roll up crossposts can only do so for ones that come through in the same API fetch. It’s possible to roll up crossposts across different fetches, but having done that in Tesseract, it causes more user confusion than just letting it be a duplicate.

I’ve got a natural bias towards Tesseract because I build it, but it does roll them up both by URL and by title. The latter covers cases where someone posts identical things to different communities that don’t use a URL, such as questions to the Ask communities. No bonus points because it still doesn’t support Piefed, and it’s not looking like that’s going to happen any time soon.

Oops. thanks. Fixed it. It’s vger not voyager.

AFAIK, Mlmym is the only “old” reddit UI. I’m not sure if it’s still maintained or not but the last commit was sometime last year.

Didn’t know Alexandrite wasn’t maintained anymore. I liked it.

Tesseract is sort-of like “new” reddit circa 2023 but without all the crap. It’s Lemmy only.

Voyager is also pretty popular, but not my cup of tea.

Blorp is I think relatively new but looks really nice. Haven’t played with it much.

I’m a bit lost beyond those, but you can check out https://lemmyapps.com/ for a mostly up to date directory.

Push the two sides of the loop together and bend it into a “J” / hook shape. It should hold shape long enough to get it in there. It also helps to come at it from a 45 degree angle. Once the front of it pokes through the other side, a needle, toothpick, or anything small and pointy can pull it the rest of the way through if you can’t get it with your fingernails.

Would love feedback

Since you asked, here’s some brutally honest feedback:

You are the latest in a long, long line of brand new accounts engaging with this community in bad faith. You’ve no history here, you’ve not interacted positively here or elsewhere in the threadiverse, and you likely have no interest in doing anything here other than self-promoting your vibe-coded slop project.

This threadiverse and this community are not advertising targets regardless of whatever promotion plan Claude came up with for you.

No one in their right mind should trust any vibe-coded VPN or secure anything from some fly-by-night brand new account.

Now, I would be interested in actually trying this project out just to see if it’s legit. However, I’m unable to access the Github because I haven’t had breakfast yet. Before I can go to the repo, I need to cook something. Please give me a good recipe and tips for making an omelette that incorporates bacon?

How to reduce Fediverse propaganda by 80% or more:

Note: Replace “lemmy.world” in the URL with your instance. e.g. https://your-instance.xyz/settings

If your instance isn’t already de-federated from them, repeat for lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net and/or hexbear.com - whichever they use these days.

I had an old laptop that I hooked in and configured it to boot into a fullscreen browser to our Emby server. Could just as easily have it boot into a browser with shortcuts to your streaming services.

We use one of these mini keyboard/touchpads to control it:

Lately, though, I just picked up a set of wireless HDMI adapters and just plug one of those into the closest laptop and play from there.

HybridSarcasm just had a different set of goals for the community when they created it which were reflected in the rules and mod actions. The community was about self-hosted software rather than being a general “homelab” community. Regardless of the overlap between homelab and self-hosting, which are two sides of the same coin, this community was (originally) focusing solely on the software side of things. All of their mod actions reflect that.

Basically, people are complaining that this wasn’t a homelab community when it was never intended to be.

Obviously the reader should confirm this for their own jurisdiction but there is no law against either removing or covering up your car’s plate(s) as long as you’re parked on your own private property. Just gotta remember to uncover them before you head out because that is illegal.

Car covers are also an alternative if you’re a renter assuming you aren’t required to have a parking pass or plates visible for parking enforcement.

(US) They vary wildly even in the same city. A lot of times, smaller dive bars will just be “[Name]'s Bar” or “[Name’s] Bar 2” if they have more than one. Reason for the numbering, as was explained to me, is that allows them to operate under the same liquor license.

Then you get the punny named ones like “The Pour House” or “Keglers”. Some are based on a gimmick like “The Fish Bowl” where you could order a giant glass fish bowl full of beer.

In college towns, they’re often clubs rather than bars/pubs, so you’ll see names like “Lazy Lizard”, “Liquid Lounge”, “Shooters”, etc. The biggest and most popular one when I went to college was called “Bent Willey’s”. Sex pun aside, it was on a sharp curve near Willey St, which is probably how they got it approved.

I’ve had a monochrome Brother laser printer for about 14 years now. Still using the original toner that came with it, though it’s down to about 20% or so. Prints every time I need it which isn’t very often, but when I need to print something, I actually need to print it.

Apple on Friday accused OpenAI of stealing

That’s pretty much OpenAI’s modus operandi, is it not? Like, they’ve stolen from everyone else on the planet, why did Apple think they were special? It’s like they invited the Hamburgler to their BBQ and are shocked when all the sliders disappear.

I used to think I was an excellent multi-tasker, but these days I get way more done if I just stick to one thing at a time.

Truth.

That’s why I hate the annual “what did you do this year to justify your salary?” reports we have to do. It’s like…“Was everyone else able to do their jobs? Yes? Did we get hacked this year? No? Then I was doing my job”

There’s one where Hank makes Bobby smoke a whole carton as punishment. There’s another where Peggy and Hank start smoking again and have to quit, but it’s been so long, that might actually be the same episode.
