Bill’s brings the people together! It’s one of the only places you’ll see a brand new Mercedes parked next to a beat up 1990 Mercury Sable.

Summary:
Mastodon — all the privacy
Twitter — pretty bad privacy
Threads — we know everything about you

Super cool idea, and it’s only in Ann Arbor for now!
Hopefully the service works out for the caregivers and those needing care so that it can expand to more areas in the future.

Hey! Yes, as part of disconnecting from Reddit a month or so ago, I noticed there weren't any A2 communities on Lemmy yet.
So I started my little community and have been working on breathing life into it ever since. I figure that good, vibrant communities with consistent activity will be very important to people looking for alternatives to Reddit in the future. I'm focused on being the change I want to see in the world 🙂
I'll keep putting in the work over there -- it's good to be decentralized in case one of our instances goes offline. These are still early days for Lemmy, so I expect a little instability in the coming months.
You guys are doing great over here! Keep it up.

This is important given the recently highlighted racial disparity in traffic stops.
The police can still mail tickets, if appropriate. No need to stop anyone for something minor.

Adding to the chorus of voices telling you to get a Sonoff stick.
The Conbee II is very old at this point and shouldn’t be used for new setups.

What’s an instance?
An instance is a specific website running Lemmy or another piece of federated software. For example, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are two distinct instances
What’s a community?
A community is the "sub-reddit" of Lemmy. Kbin uses the word "magazines", but these are the same thing.
What are federations?
A federation is a group of instances sharing posts and activity data with each other so that it can be displayed to their respective end users. For example, I can post to a community on lemmy.world and then you will be able to see my post when you are browsing feddit.de.
Whats the difference between all these?
Let me know if you have additional questions based on my answers above.
What’s mastodon?
Mastodon is a piece of federated software that is built to look and feel like Twitter, similar to how Lemmy is built to look and feel like Reddit.
What’s Kbin?
Kbin.social is a website you can use to browse posts from the Fediverse. From what I understand, it is similar to Reddit as well.
What’s ActivityPub?
ActivityPub is the underlying protocol that Lemmy, Mastodon, and other pieces of federated software use to communicate with each other. This is how they notify each other of new posts, comments, upvotes, etc so they can stay in sync with each other.

Blue LLama Jazz Club, The Earle, Weber’s Restaurant and Paesano Restaurant and Wine Bar have all been recognized for their quality of wine services in a new list created by Wine Spectator. The awards recognize restaurants that offer wine lists with “interesting” selections that are “appropriate” to the meals they serve and can appeal to a range of wine drinkers, according to Wine Spectator’s website.

Thank you for taking the time to reply! That is very helpful.
It sounds like you are a few steps (pun intended) ahead of me in your footwear journey. You have already provided a ton of great info re: the world of hiking that I'll dive into and research, but do you mind if I ask what your "daily driver" (every day footwear) is at this point?
As you've noted, my Vans are probably doing more harm than good, so I'm looking to move away from them in every aspect of my life.
Thanks again for your help.
I know the article doesn't mention Ann Arbor, but I figured it's relevant for folks going on the river.
Like the article suggests, I'm not entirely sure we're better on paper than last year. Obviously there's more to a good hockey team than being good on paper though. What are everyone's thoughts?

Man, 35 is too young to go! My thoughts go out to his family.
All, I come to you with a request. Though I enjoy hiking and the outdoors, I am plagued with incredibly flat feet that get painfully sore after only a few miles of walking. I'd like to enjoy the outdoors more, but the pain builds and builds until it's no longer enjoyable for me to walk and explore. Part of the issue is that I don't own shoes suitable for such activities -- I mostly wear Vans and other similar flat, wide shoes. Does anyone here have a similar issue? If so, what are your recommendations for good hiking shoes for a person in my situation? I would call myself a beginner when it comes to hiking, so they don't need to be anything too fancy, but I'm willing to spend a decent amount to mitigate my stupid feet. Thank you!

Hello, everyone! I just wanted to say hello and say thanks to everyone for being involved in this community. I am certain many of us have left Reddit because of their disastrous and user-hostile changes, so I am hoping we can create a vibrant replacement community here where we can post, converse, and share information about living, working, and traveling in Ann Arbor. If you have a chance, please say hello in the comments section! And I would welcome any of your contributions to this community... but I will keep posting until you all get involved!
IMO, these are welcome changes that should help build trust with the public.

Yes! Reddit is blocked in my DNS server so they will not get any traffic from me. Lemmy and Mastodon are where I'm at.
This is definitely interesting for a lover of old-fashioneds such as myself!

There’s currently no way to do this, but it is a common suggestion and multiple groups of people are working out potential ways to make it happen.

I don't disagree with the idea, but your terminology needs a bit of tweaking lol.
Ann Arbor is working to reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions from 2.1 million tons per year to 0. Here's a [direct link](https://www.a2gov.org/departments/sustainability/Documents/OSI_three_year_annual_2023%20%28004%29.pdf) to the report itself.
This is a great opportunity to support local small business in multiple ways. Miss Kim has been continually giving back to the local community through their Feed The Community effort, but Tuesday's dinner will benefit Growing Hope and the Ypsi Farmer's Market. If you're already going to be looking for a delicious dinner on Tuesday, consider this event!

There’s no one in my family or friends that would even realize they’re writable, let alone actually figure out how to do it.

He's projecting confidence because he wants us to think we're not having any effect on them and come back.
Even though this is a sponsored story on the Free Press website, I don't think it's biased. I still see a ton of fun things to do this summer! It's a beautiful summer in southeast MI so far this year. I hope you all are getting out there to enjoy it!

A combo of both. I group all my media apps like Sonarr, Radarr, SABnzbd, etc together in one compose since I consider each of them to be a part of the same “machine”, but most of my apps have their own compose.

I have an HP DL380 Gen8 and then a PC I bought from the local university and use as a server.
My DL380 runs ESXi. My PC runs Ubuntu on bare metal.
All of my apps are either fully VM-based (Home Assistant OS) or run in containers. Containers are far easier to build, upgrade, and migrate, and also make file management a lot easier.
I use Docker Compose. No Swarm or Kubernetes at this point.
Hopefully this is at least a good start! Let me know if you have any questions.

My girlfriend and I recently decided to take up disc golfing as a fun, relaxing, cheap activity. She's having a lot of fun, but she's still not super confident in her shots, so she prefers some pretty easy and open fairways. What are your favorite beginner-level courses in the A2 area? I've been looking at dgcoursereview.com, but I'd prefer to get opinions from real people. TIA!
I figured we could all share some of the cooler things we've done to get the conversation moving in here. Here are some of the automations I'm proud of and get the most use out of. **Blinds and Lighting** - Open and close the blinds (Ikea Fyrtur) according to the light levels outside - If a window is open, the blind will only close to 50%, but it will close automatically after the window is closed - Turn all lights off when the blinds are opened, and turn lights on in occupied rooms when the blinds are closed - Automatically close the blinds in the bedroom and bathroom when the shower is on. Open them after we leave the master suite. **Websites** - (Selenium) Auto login to Amazon to check on the status of my Kindle daily reading streak and notify me if I forget to read. We must keep the streak intact! - Auto categorize new transactions in YouNeedABudget and mark them as approved, as well as pull my net worth into Home Assistant - Get my most-listened to tracks and artists from Last.FM and pull those into Home Assistant - Notify me if there are documents in my Paperless-NGx server that need to be categorized and filed **Reminders** - When I walk in the door, announce any outstanding Todoist tasks marked with the @alert label so I know to do it before I sit down. Examples are to change the furnace filter or Venmo my friend for Youtube TV - I run OCR on the camera feed from my garage camera to determine whether the bins are in the garage. The bins say Trash and Recycling on top, so I look for those words in the image. If they are in the garage in the evening before trash day, I receive an alert **Media and Torrenting** - Notify me and display a badge in Home Assistant when there is a pending request in Overseerr - (Selenium) Log into my favorite private torrent tracker website from Node-RED to check whether I need to take any actions **HVAC** - Preheat or pre-cool the house prior to peak electricity pricing going into effect. During peak hours, auto adjust the thermostat to prevent it from running - Turn the thermostat off if there are windows open. Automatically restore previous setting (cool or heat) when all windows are closed. - Turn the bathroom fan on after the shower is turned off and no one is around. Turn it off after 80 minutes or the humidity in the bathroom is within 10% of the humidity in the bedroom, whichever comes first. **Misc** - Node-RED monitors the status of my UPSes for my servers. If the battery drops below 50% while the power is out, it initiates graceful shutdowns of my Synology and other servers - Auto sort the Home Assistant grocery list upon adding a new item
