Looking for Self-hosted Bookmark Manager
  • I can't get my second browser to connect to my existing account. I set up using Chrome, but in the Firefox extension it says "No Accounts Here" when I go into the Addon options. I don't see any way to connect to an existing account. I only see "New account" or the import button which leads to

    "Import a file with exported accounts here to re-create accounts exported on a different device or browser. Please make sure to set the correct sync folders again after importing."

    What movie did you rewatch most often?
  • I was thinking of various movies that constantly run on TV, but your comment made me realize that Cars or Polar Express is probably the correct answer. My son was obsessed with those movies when he was young and we had them on constant rotation.

    What Are Your Favorite SBCs (Single Board Computers), Why, and How Did You Get Into Them?
  • I've had an Odroid running for many years, just as a Linux server to play with and automate some stuff on my home LAN. I was looking to upgrade to something with more RAM and found that the SBCs with more RAM get expensive pretty quick. Plus, there is the limitation of depending on a custom Linux build from the manufacturer that runs on the device. So I ended up buying a mini PC for not much more than an SBC with lots of RAM. There's this one, as an example for $150

    I ended going higher in price with this one

    But for just playing with Linux, these are much more useful because you can run any normal Linux distro.

    Is there a day of any given year that is least special?
  • If you are a Grateful Dead fan, there are five days that are the least interesting: https://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/01-09-1965/

    Jan 1, Jan 19, Feb 29, Aug 9 and Dec 25.

    Those are the only days of the year that they never played a concert.

    Lemmy.world active users is tapering off while other servers are gaining serious traction.
  • Very cool, thanks! It's funny, because I went to your repo and I already had it starred. I've been wandering through so many instances/apps/websites during this Lemmy process - I've lost track of some things I've stumbled upon in the last month,

    Community subscriber count: does this show only local instance activity?
  • That's what I thought. But the numbers on my example for lemdro.id don't really seem right. It shows 34 users but 8.48k Users/month. That's about 75% of the Users/month that are occurring for the 10.4k users on lemmy.world in my example above.

    *Permanently Deleted*
  • On this topic, I'm really surprised that Apple made Airtags with batteries that can be changed by the user. I'm even more surprised they used the most common coin cell as the battery

  • Does the community subscriber count only show statistics from that instance? For example, I have accounts on two servers and I wanted to find popular communities across the fediverse. For the most popular community, two different instances show different numbers for subscribers and users/month. For example, the top listing for these two instances is this:

    https://lemmy.world/communities?listingType=All&page=1

    asklemmy@lemmy.mil 10.4k 12.9k

    https://lemdro.id/communities?listingType=All&page=1

    asklemmy@lemmy.mil 34 8.48k

    What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
  • I like the silly related quote:

    Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

    Confusion around duplicate communities
  • I'm not sure if that link is supposed to take a user somewhere, but clicking the bot's link from within Connect doesn't work. The leading "!" Is not highlighted in blue, so that's probably why it doesn't work.

    The link in the parent comment does work within Connect and takes me to that community.

    Musk claims Meta hired dozens of Twitter employees to build Threads.
  • Musk even encouraged people he fired to work for a competitor in a post he made in November. I don't have a link to it, but he was mocking their abilities and said that if their skills are so good, they will be welcome at another company.

    Edit: found it

    Liftoff. Lemmy app. Do you like the way it works now?
  • It was buggy and the "Subscribed" feeds weren't showing anything. I just deleted and reinstalled and it's working well now.

    I like that it shows the full community/instance name with each post. That lets me see where the content is coming from. It seems hidden on another apps I've tried.
