    Android's stock backup misses a lot of things, apps can opt-out and many do, it also doesn't backup files or documents or photos. Photos are "backed up" if you enable Google Photos cloud sync, but that's separate. It basically just backs up your phone calls/SMS, system settings and what apps you have installed (but not their data unless they tie into the backup APIs).

    I used GitHub's search across the entire Graphene org, but couldn't find any references to the issue. Doesn't mean its not there, I just couldn't find it. If the technical details of the issue were public, it would help people know whether or not their data is recoverable if they are already stuck with a "pixel is starting..." phone that doesn't boot.

    Brother laser printers are great. As long as you get one that supports Postscript (Brother calls this BR-Script), PCL5 or PCL6. You can see this under the "emulations" printing specs on a printer model page. PostScript and PCL both have fully open source implementations so you'll usually be able to just use built-in CUPS gutenprint or foomatic drivers. I also recommend ethernet (wired or wireless) and not usb.

    Do not get one that only says "GDI" emulations which is Windows based and can be really painful to deal with.

    To be fair, I think the idea would be to change the albedo of Earth so that more sunlight is reflected back into space. But it would need to reflect more light/heat than it produces in waste heat for the refrigeration, who wants to do the math?

    They seem to just be looking at hot water production alone for typical home uses. By heating (or even overheating) that water when renewable supplies are abundant using smart controls for time of use plans, it offsets more energy production for far less money than batteries would cost.

    Since you're on another instance, it might need to sync.

    If you use the search, and search for !dontstarve@sh.itjust.works

    Then wait a few seconds, search again, it should sync and show up and let you click it.

    I hope they improve this process in the new version of Lemmy.

    I get what you're saying, but I just can't agree. Putting a decision early in the onboarding process when they don't have the context to make an informed decision, it adds a lot of friction. If you are referring friends or members of a community, refer an instance you believe in. If they find out later it doesn't work for them, they can always move. Personally I found choosing an instance upfront put me off from joining lemmy for weeks. And ultimately it wasn't a very important decision in the long run as nothing is guaranteed and you can always move.

There are still a lot of instances that link with beehaw, lemmy.world and shitjustworks so you can see everything.

    A few thoughts:

    • Unlike reddit, Lemmy provides a way for instances to not tolerate those sorts of activities by limiting what users can join their own instances and blocking entire instances where those activities are coming from.
    • With karma not being a public profile stat, there shouldn't be any needs to farm it.
    • Without the corporate profit motive and centralized control Lemmy (as a whole) couldn't do what reddit is doing with the APIs. An instance could and an instance could also serve ads, but people are free to move to another instance if they don't like it while still maintaining access to most content.

    If it's a network printer and it lists Postscript and/or PCL6 support on its specs it should be good for at least basic printing. I still use my Brother laser though, haven't needed to replace it yet.

    I also think option B is a good idea. It could split up the load of a large topic.

    As for maintaining the distributed philosophy of Lemmy, I think it could possibly work by moderators of each community vote on/approve other members of a super community, like and alliance or union. They may want to agree on a standard set of rules. Then if you subscribe to one, it can pick up the others automatically. And if a community/moderators go rogue then the members of the super community moderators could vote to expel that community.

    This keeps it still mostly simple/automatic for most users while allowing for a decentralized way to group communities and handle bad actors.

    Not sure how feasible it is on the technical side or how it would fit into ActivityPub. But hopefully we find some solution to these fractured communities.

    As a workaround, if you login with your account on the web site you could subscribe to your desired communities and then they'll show up in jerboa.

    To view a community on another server from your server, in the search box of the web site put "!community@otherserver.com" for example !foss@beehaw.org and after a few seconds it should show up and then you can click on it and subscribe.

    I put "jerboa@lemmy.ml" in the search area, it took a while (a few minutes), but eventually it showed up. I think it takes a while to sync/federate in the background if you're the first person on the instance to subscribe to that community.

    Seems most useful for those with time of use billing for their electricity. And heat pump water heaters can be even more efficient.

    There's a company taking this further in making a fully integrated hot water and home heating heat pump system: https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/heat-pumps/these-new-double-duty-heat-pumps-can-warm-both-air-and-water

    Until batteries get cheaper, it could be a better return per $ to look at a system like this.

    Took me a bit to decide which instance to join and get setup, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. The registration process needs some feedback instead of just spinning if you're not yet approved though I saw this is being worked on.

    It has been clunky to reference other communities or search for them, I keep finding links that send me to another instance and then I'm not logged in there.

    Also, there seem to be a lot of duplicate communities. It would be nice to have some kind of system for groups of communities. So that they can link together as a super-community (if agreed by their mods) and if you subscribe to one you get them all. Or maybe over time the most popular ones will become apparent.

    Overall its been neat to get setup over here and see the beginning of something.
