    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.

    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.

    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.

    Good hiking shoes for a beginner/flatfoot

    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!

    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.

    What are your favorite automations?

    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
