  • Want to set up a powerful solar rooftop node/repeater/router

  • Heh, I always forget about client_base. My device in that role is still on firmware 2.5.0 from last year and doesn't have client_base as an option. Gotta get it updated stat lol.

  • I only say there needs to be less because that's all that seems to get pushed to the top. Ever since I saw the few posts asking how to get new users here, I've been trying to put myself in their shoes and look at things raw and unfiltered like a brand new user would see. Sadly, now that I've looked, I can't un-see.

    The rest of us just need to get on their level with all our other hobbies and interests.

    100% agree :) But those don't seem to get the rage clicks like all the bad news stuff and get buried even on scaled sort.

    there aren’t other NWSL/MLS fans out here, but could you please stop doing drive-bys and downvoting all my articles?

    I don't know what either of those are, but I just went and threw some upvotes to some of your stuff because it was non-political / non-news. And one of them was highly downvoted for reasons I cannot possibly fathom.

  • Check out the SenseCap solar node. It's way under $200 and professionally built.

    https://www.seeedstudio.com/SenseCAP-Solar-Node-P1-Pro-for-Meshtastic-LoRa-p-6412.html

    Probably the best configuration for it is as a regular client client_base role since that will relay like a repeater but without forcing other clients in the mesh to use it (which would be problematic unless you're in a super ideal position).

    Edited b/c I forgot about client_base. See the reply to this one about that role.

  • Belt Clip/Carrying Case for ThinkNode M5?

    Jump

  • I was about to suggest a 3D printed solution, but I'm not seeing anything for the Elecrow/Thinknode m5 on Printables or Thingiverse. Only thing I found was a case for the M1.

  • I do! Though I'm fully a lurker there and only passively contribute with my upvotes since I haven't biked or even e-biked in ages.

  • What were you doing in 2010 instead of getting free bitcoins from the Bitcoin Faucet?

    Jump

  • I've long since declared it lost forever, but there is still the slim possibility that one of my backup drives has my old Bitcoin wallet that was full of whole bitcoins I got from these faucets ages ago.

    If I ever find that, you or my employer will never see or hear from me again. 😆

    Like, wow. None of what I said has anything to do with that. This is the kind of jumping to insane conclusions, putting words in peoples' mouths shit that turns people away.

  • Anyone get this message?

    Jump

  • What firmware version are you on?

    I had to switch to the alpha version 2.7.16 because that kept happening on my Heltecs. I never got that message, though. It would just randomly disconnect and not reconnect again until I hit the reset button on the node and force-quit and restarted the app.

    Prior to that, the only thing that changed or was updated was the app. My node was still running the 2.5.0 firmware from last March.

  • What exactly is the issue with self-destructing accounts other than losing the comments, discussions, etc. associated with the posts? Because if that's the only thing, I don't see the severity.

    It's unfair to anyone and everyone who participates. It's a PITA to save a post to have it just disappear later. Or remember a post and want to go back to it only to find it self-nuked. Yeah, some stuff may get modded but at least there's a usually correct and valid reason attached. The people doing this and self-destructing are basically unmarked spambots. I fucking hate bots.

    The disposable troll account elsewhere in the comments here said "Content is king" which is the only thing in their statement I agree with. Well, when that content is ephemeral, then it's not really "content".

  • [meta] pls stop banning people

    Jump

  • They are probably new people here trying out the fediverse because a friend recommended it to them

    Yet every one of those "new people" beelines straight to this community and starts posting like a power user right out of the gate. Yeah, that seems legit 🙄. The chances of that happening organically and without some interaction elsewhere is slim to none. The accounts that are finally getting banned are ones that have been posting and self-deleting for months or more.

    could you link an example? also maybe there should be a lemmy-built-in feature to restrict new posts to maybe 10 per day or sth.

    1. Literally no because it just comes up as "Error" and the users don't come up in search because they delete themselves.
    2. I've stopped interacting with accounts less than a month old because they just up and delete themselves taking any of my contributions with them. Like, what's the point? That's to say I can't just go into my history and pull up a dead post link for you.
    3. This has been going on for months if not longer
    4. Such a Lemmy feature does not exist and does not appear to be on the horizon
    5. Even if the number of posts is limited, it doesn't do anything to stop the self-destructing accounts.

    I had saved several comic posts that just up and disappeared. One of them I remembered who posted, so I checked their history and "Error: person_not_found". Or I'll recall a comic from a few days ago and try to find it, and it's long gone along with the account that posted it. Not modded, not banned, but self-deleted.

    Until there are built-in tools to assist with this and some major change to how Lemmy handles user deletions, I'm 100% in favor of the mods taking whatever measures necessary to keep the community fair to everyone else. These self-destructing accounts have a pattern, and the mods seem like they've caught on.

    These self-destructing jerks are the ones you should be upset with, not the mods. Like I said, I've completely stopped interacting with any new accounts because of this hit-and-run, self-deleting bullshit. The only ones working against legit new users are the people who keep doing that.

  • What should we be doing, individually, to increase Lemmy's userbase?

    Jump

  • That is what subscriptions and the local timeline are for. The "all" should show whatever is getting the most attention.

    "All" is what new users typically see. Or see immediately after clicking from "Local" if that's what the instance is set to default to. New users do not have any subscriptions, and if they're just browsing as guest, they literally can't subscribe or do any kind of curation.

    First impressions are important. Someone comes here brand new and the first impression is typically that of an angry mob.

    So to get a bigger userbase, the "default, guest experience" needs to provide a good first impression. This....preachy/angry/politics/news flood is highly likely to just turn them away and not even bother trying to curate to find the good bits.
