In regards to email hosting.
It is not about hosting the server on your own infrastructure, it is about having there code to host it out have another provider.
There are a lot of email providers!
Also, if you look at the way Lemmy works, it is the same as emails. If they federate a community, the data is kept on both the original server and the federated one, so you duplicate to m the data, similar to an email server.
It is an interesting concept, and maybe the score should just reduce down to brush categories, like fully decentralized, potential decentralized, neither, partially centralized, fully centralized.
Then we won't nitpick on the school l score too much?
I'm doing my part for Vanuatu.... Not sure if anyone will use it here, but I'm having fun!

I agree about this. Reddit and co do this automatically. I would like to increase or decrease priority of communities, something like a score multiplier for post rankings.
But, not it doesn't have it.
Yeah, has been a fun watch, especially since I am a force fan. We tend to lose the close ones, so it has been refreshing to see them take it to the final minutes and close out (or win) games at the death.
We didn't get very many rebels, and none of the wallabies/top tier ones. Mostly we looked internationally to find Aussies that wanted to crack the wallabies
I guess that is one of the issues with reuse of frameworks and things. The first one takes a lot of new stuff. Subsequent KDE software doesn't
I guess there are pro's and cons to all things.
Which one? Or both?
I think different, the project is something like 7 months old
Individual blog posts, actual articals, how to's etc. but they are all LLM generated same shit
Also, thanks for 10ft gnome. That looks helpful. I'm hoping that my new tv will be able to install jellyfish clients
I know that there have been blog post about setting up an htpc using uuntu as the os.
The Australia section is automatically on as it detect where I am. I expect that where I search for things, it prioritises results from Australia. For example if I am look at tax information, Latvia's taxation law will not help me.
It is more that these web pages are probably all LLM written, and so they poison the search results. Not so much LLM search results/helpers at the top of a results page.
Looking to build a new htpc. This is all that ever comes up.
Thanks, a couple of new subs, and since laughs from Dad jokes, as well as groans from my wife...
That was a fun read . Thanks :)
Read the barefoot investor. Has some great tips for kids pocket money, as well as a simple way to educate them on how to use it.
It boils down to splitting the money into spend, safe, give. Spend for lollies and random crap, save to work towards buying something big (like a computer game, RC car etc) and give to teach them the joy of helping someone else.
He also recommends that you should pay cash, so that money is real and they value it. Cards are intangible and impossible for for kids (and most adults) to really understand what they are spending.
We have used this with our son and it has worked well.
Thankfully it isn't, currently during at 16.
Unfortunately we still know some people who are missing :(
The poor buggers have a decade of work ahead of them to clean up,l and repair/replace everything.
Thanks, but we will be on grid.
All I see is red head
Solar and Battery - Costs & Suppliers
Good Morning Perth!
My mother in-law and I are interested in getting solar with Batteries, but i am really not sure of the options are at the moment, at least from a cost and rebates perspective.
What are the current costs for your installs or quotes you have received?
Feel free to should out any good suppliers/installers you have worked with
Thanks!
That is a good point
I expect that this will just be bluetacked to the wall, nothing fancy for a 14 year old.
I just had another person say Big W. I had never thought of a store like that.
I expect that the record stores will be about musicians, not sports. But i also thought about independent record stores
Where to buy Posters in Perth
I have to look for a christmas present for a nephew, and one of the thoughts was a poster of basketball players. Anyone know where there are places to buy them now?
I know there was a place at the royal show, but i am damned if i know where to go now.
There are online places, but shipping is about the same as the poster itself!
would love some options,
thanks!
Kde laptop
Hi all,
I am looking for suggestions for a new laptop to run KDE on, but I want it to be amazing out of the box.
I have run kubuntu and neon on HP and dell laptops previously, and they are fairly good, but things like the GPU not being auto set up, or hibernate type features not working have made it a bit of a pain.
I think my main bugbear is the power management. My wife's macbook air can have the lid closed and it will wake up again a week later just fine. My laptop barely makes it overnight and get hot in the bag.
What are some good laptops to run KDE, where they have been fully integrated and have great power management?
The main ones I know of are slimbook and framework, but would love to hear some experiences if you have them.
Thanks!

Service to store and share WiFi credentials
This is a bit of an odd one,
I have just moved to another country where internet is very expensive, and i would like to have an app to create a shared list of Wifi creds where i find them, whether that is offices, hotels or cafes, etc.
It would kind of be like the OpenWifi Map, but maybe a bit more private?
Does anyone know of anything like this? it would be able to tell where you are and alert you or autoconnet to the wifi using the credentials that are stored.
The reason i want it to be shared is that my wife can use the ones that i find and vice-versa.
cheers

Super rugby kicks off tonight. How many teams will still be solvent by the end of the season?
Offshoring my solutions
Hey y'all!
I am after the colelctive expertise of this fantastic community. My family and i are moving overseas for a year for a pacific adventure, which leaves my hosting setup in a bind. We will be renting out our house and i will need to move all of my 'servers' (read laptop and NAS) out.
All of my services are in docker.
My main services that i MUST keep are:
I would also like to make it so that all of my media is still available, but i may need to get a set up at a friends house. I have jellyfin plus a bunch of *arr's
I was thinking a mix between at a mates house and a cloud server.
any thoughts?
edit: a lot of my services are exposed publicly, via Nginx proxy manager.
Alcoa set to announce Kwinana refinery closure
Looks like Alcoa Kwinana is set to close. sorry to all those people that are going to be impacted.
RPi client for tv
My jellyfin server is all set up and ready to go.l, but I want to replace my Kodi box, it is just painful.
Is there a nice way to setup a rPi to run as a client, that just turns on and looks like a media centre? Ie, it loads up and is ready to go at power on?

recommendations for musician tablets & software
cross-posted from: https://aussie.zone/post/3641289
Hi all, I am looking for a starter tablet to show tabs, and in the future potentially musical notation.
As a starter into i am looking for ideas on what sort of tablet. Is 10" big enough? and what are some good apps for it?
My preference is Android, but if all else fails, an iPad could work.
cheers
Eddie Jones resigns as Wallabies coach
Eddie Jones has walked away from Australian rugby after handing in his resignation as Wallabies coach.
well, the shit show that was dropping Rennie 9 months out from a World Cup seems to be over (thank fuck) what a disastrous idea, trying to buy world cup experience by kicking out the bloke who had decent success with 30 injured players.

eReaders for Selfhosted book collections
Hi fellow hosters! I really did not know where to ask this question - and i thought you lot are pretty similar to me. If you can think of somewhere else to post this, please let me know!
I am looking for a solution to be able to host my own books (something like calibre i guess), that i can easily push them to a yet-to-be-purchased eReader.
Firstly - What eReader are you using that allows you to add any number of book sources to? i would also like to include my local library subscription, as well as locally hosted and purchased ones.
Secondly - Any hints on hosting a book collection. (Readarr v calibre, etc), where you get books from, removing DRM from eBooks that you buy, that sort of stuff.
thanks!
Farming Dung Beetles for Farmers Farming other things
Farmers in Western Australia begin breeding their own stocks of the bugs, which are proving hugely beneficial to farm and animal health.
I love seeing this sort of thing in Farming. Are there any other places where dungbeetles are used as an input to a farm?
What other insects are being introduced to farms? I know of bees (pollination) and ladybirds (pest control)

sorting of 'favourite' comms
Hey lemmings.
I find that I am not seeing what I am Interested in from the smaller comms I have subscribed to.
Is there a way to increase their visibility?
I was think it would be useful to put a multiplier on the scores of various comms, ie [email protected] can have a 5x multiplier so that is see more of those posts, in comparison to other larger comms.
I am having to go to the comms explicitly to see their posts.
Cheers!
ABC Overview of the big matches from round 1
The Rugby World Cup has started with a big bang, with a number of major nations — including the Wallabies — picking up important early wins as the showpiece tournament got underway in France.
A real world analysis of a near-100% renewable grid in Australia - Year 2.
Two years of simulations show that very close to 100% renewable electricity is affordable and feasible for Australia’s main grid, using just a few hours of battery storage.
This is a great article that uses real data to see how our grid world perform with greater wind, solar and storage. It shows that we can easily achieve a 95% renewable grid with a modest level of storage.
What i really like about this, is it has been running for 2 years now, and it is pragmatic about its aims (ie, not 100%), it aims for reality (this is real data that is collected weekly), and it looks at the cost (in $$ and CO2-e).
He sets some targets (60% Wind, 45% Solar + storage), then works off of the actual data to scale the wind & solar generation, to see how it would meet demand. excess is accumulated in storage (theoretical battery storage and actual hydro), and shortfalls is taken from storage.
The really nice part shows where "other" is required, in Australia's case, existing fossil fueled peaker plants.
I often use his 1st year report to have the discussion with "non-believers" to show what is possible, and where the gaps are to achieveing a renewable grid.
