There seems to be a general consesnus that feddiverse users don't want anything to do with meta and that instances will defederate with threads. I'm curious if the majority will follow this trend to avoid yet another EEE, or if there will be some exceptions. I bet meta will be open to pay good money to instance admins for "colaboration" if the instance is big enough.

It's hard for me to say because I haven't lived in another country other than my own for any amount of time. It's funny though how all the answers are countries in the west :)) Send some love to the balkans please.

there's a guy on youtube who specialises in apple repairs. maybe you could send an email to ask. I also think i saw him doing exactly what you're planning in one of his videos. maybe check it out:

Hardware ideas (feddit.ro)

I'm reposting this here hoping that some of you have some cool ideas to share. My main intention is to make something solar powered, but I'm really open to anything! Inspire me please!

Haha, this unfortunately falls way out of my area of expertise :)

[-] may_pretender@feddit.ro 1 points 1 year ago

this sounds cool, and not too complicated to implement :)

[-] may_pretender@feddit.ro 1 points 1 year ago

To give some ideas as well, maybe there could be some addons powered from the electric longboard, but I can't really see how they could be useful. The main problem I see is that you'd need a wire coming from the longboard to the user / addon. this seems dangerous.

Maybe you can have the longboard battery be detachable, or have a smaller detachable batterry different from the main one that you could use for other tasks? (both being chardged either externally or through regenerative braking)

But tbh, I think such a project would overcomplicate and miss the point of the longboard.

Interesting ideas! I'm don't do mobile dev either, but regarding your first point, I think the idea is very cool, but taking that direction would be very difficult. Achieving what you suggest the easy way is through a mobile app. The problem is that the if we're looking at older phones that are not supported anymore, they aren't secure, so we could run into problems there. The second option you suggested, which is a single purpose ROM seems very cool, but it also seems very daunting, as it is hardware specific from my understanding.

I'm not familiar with the animal prosthetic field too much, but could be an idea.

thank you, and please share more ideas if you can :)

this could be interesting. unfortunately I am not at all familiar with composting so don't understand why this would be useful. could you please explain why temperature monitoring is important for composting, or direct me to somewhere I could read more for myself? I want to learn, thanks :)

Hardware ideas (feddit.ro)

Hi! I'll be participating in a hackathon next month in the hardware division. I was thinking of making something sollarpunk inspired. I'm posting this to ask for inspiration.

What is some of technology (esp. hardware) that you'd like to see implemented? What is a problem that you'd want solved that could have a potential hardware solution?

I know this is very vague, but I'm curious if anyone has some ideas to share :)

I mostly use a gui file manager, but when I do use a terminal based one I use ranger. Haven't tried others, I just like this one.

Basically the title.

I'm interested in any opportunity to inprove the way I navigate the internet. What I've been for a few years now is DDG, which works fine. Not great, not amazing, just fine. And that's ok considering how they opperate.

I just heard about kagi and was really cosidering it. Makes sense as a business model (pay so we don't have to sell you data), seems privacy respecting, and claims to strive for best search results in the market. Some test searches from the trial seem promising.

If you've used it for any amount of time, what has your experience been with it? What plan are you using? What are you mostly searching for?

Even you haven't used it, any thoughts / opinions are welcome.

So, I've been a Neovim user for a few years now. I started as most of you (I assume) with vim, and just kept on using and expanding that config file over the years.

I only recently realized there's quite a split between the Vim and Neovim plugins and that the Neovim community is pushing Lua as a better development platform. From what I can see, some users are switching their configs from Vimscript to Lua. To be honest all I know about Lua is that it means moon in Portuguese...

Should I too? What would the advantages be? What would the disadvantages be? For those who did switch, why did you switch and what was your experience? For those who didn't why did you not?

p.s. review (roast) my dotfiles

edit: thank you all for your input! I will consider slowly switching to lua by modifying only some parts of the config as some of you suggested.

As other poster recommended, you should by all means install Linux and learn by using it as a daily driver.

[-] may_pretender@feddit.ro 8 points 1 year ago

What is your end goal with this? Going for BSc in Computer Science / Engineering would enable you to become a developer / computer scientist.

Photo/video/vector editing seems very out of place in your plan. That's just another domain. If you're passionate about those visual arts, that's great and more power to you, but know they're not relevant for a computer scientist. Src: I've been there.

Regarding everything else you've said, it seems to me that you're learning stuff without a direction and just because you've heard those things (cs50 / linux), are important. I suggest you choose a moderately difficult task (game, app, tool, website, ehatever) that seems interesting for you to create, (install linux) and start working on it, and focus on finishing it. You'll learn a lot on the way and gain a broader understanding of how a project is pieced together. Most importantly, you'll figure out what you don't know, and thus eill have a direction going forward.

And don't get me wrong, you're right, you can gain a lot of valuable knowledge by going through cs50 or learning to use the linux terminal, but it's not really useful unless information, unless you apply it to a project.

I'm trying to join a community from another server (https://sopuli.xyz) from my server (https://feddit.ro), but the search can't seem to find it. It does, however, find other communities from sopuli, as well as communities from other servers. Why could this be the case?
