  • Dashcam data retention recommendation?

    Jump

  • Most dash cameras that have an SD card slot just record over existing footage once it runs out of storage.

    So get a large-capacity SD card. Have it record everything. Then every so often, take that SD card, put it into your laptop, and offload it wherever you want (NAS, cloud storage, etc.).

  • When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job?

    Jump

  • It really depends on what you're trying to do. At the end of the day, the foundational components are pretty standard across the board. All machines have a CPU, motherboard, storage mechanism, etc. Oftentimes those actual servers have a form factor better suited for rack mounting. They often have more powerful components.

    But at the end of the day, the difference isn't as striking as most people not aware of this stuff think.

    I'd say considering this is your first experience, you should start with converting an old PC due to the lower price point, and then expand as needed. You'll learn a lot and get a lot of experience from starting there.

  • It’s not really any different than hosting any other service.

  • Eve Energy smart plugs transmit Energy information via Matter

    Jump

  • Yep just saw that too after I researched it a bit more. What is strange is I don't remember Eve Energy having a firmware update since then. Makes me wonder if they had it ready to go in previous firmware versions based on internal specs they saw? Or maybe I just forgot about a firmware update I did.

  • but as the Matter standard doesn't yet support energy monitoring, users are limited to basic features like on and off and scheduling

    from this link

    Granted the article is almost a year old. But I just didn't realize that Matter now supports energy monitoring. Somehow I just missed that news.

  • Thanks so much! 🎉 Native is the only way to go imo 😝. I’ll make a PR this weekend.

    Might also have some comments on the Lemmy API eventually, but I’ll save those for a later date haha.

    Thanks for all you do for Lemmy.

  • For Mastodon there is something called Tootpick which allows you to enter your server's domain and share any content by redirecting the user. For example: https://tootpick.org/#text=https://eventfrontier.com/post/37808. So I'm not quite sure the federated nature argument makes sense. Sure it's more complicated that a centralized system, but possible regardless.

  • Introducing Echo for Lemmy iOS TestFlight Program

    Jump

  • Good feedback. This is meant to be extremely initial. I absolutely understand the hesitation to collecting PII. TestFlight does capture a lot of this data automatically when you sign up using a link anyways. Once it gets into beta (or even later alpha stages) I plan on releasing a public link that doesn’t require an application. I really appreciate your honest feedback tho, and I’ll definitely take it into consideration and consider alternatives in the coming days. Thanks again!

  • Lemmy needs rewards a la Reddit

    Jump

  • Feels like this would just be adding on a centralized feature to a system designed to be decentralized. If anything, it should be based on a decentralized system like Bitcoin or something.

  • Good ROI Suggestions?

  • Personally, that isn’t how I think about a smart home system. There isn’t a need to do major changes until maybe you need to get it replaced anyways. Starting with things like lights, a few shades, door sensors, are good ways to start. The biggest question is what do you want to get out of it?

  • Lemmy v0.18.0 Release

    Jump

  • @[email protected] Thanks for the information here and all the hard work you have put into this release.

    Gotta say tho, as the maintainer of Lemmy-Swift-Client, breaking API changes like this without an API version bump, make API development within the community incredibly difficult.

    So my question to you would be, what is the purpose of having v3 in the API path, if the true test of API compatibility is the GetServerResponse version field? And breaking changes will occur in GetServerResponse version changes as opposed to the version in the API path? That doesn't quite make sense to me.

    Would love your perspective so I can figure out how to best design the package API to accommodate client developers who might have to contend with multiple server versions.

  • Want to contribute to OpenSource; Where to start?

    Jump

  • If you're into JavaScript, https://github.com/dynamoose/dynamoose is a project I maintain, and has a lot of great documentation, Slack channels, and more.

    Although my attention on it goes in waves, it could for sure use more help. I'm also totally willing to help answer questions and point people in the right direction.

    We currently have 80 open issues, 6 open PRs. 9 of those issues are marked as "good first issues" and 8 are marked as "help wanted".

    So there are for sure some easy jumping off points to get started. But I'm also always happy to answer questions and assist in anyway I can as well.

    Beyond that, it's all about diving into something. I found Dynamoose when it was much smaller, and just started with small contributions and built up from there. Following developers on social media, and following programming communities and newsletters can be helpful too.
