Why aren't all these roofs at the port of Barcelona covered in Solar panels?

I just landed in Barcelona. I am sure there is a reason but they seem prime candidates for Solar

  • There are a few Discourse based forums that I asked the admins about whether they would put the ActivityPub plugin for Discourse on their server but I didnt hear back.

    A Lemmy Plugin for Discourse would be great as I the two are quite aligned. I think there might be some concerns about people from Lemmy Instances becoming members oof the forum or posting but I could see it being done on a listen only or trusted lemmy servers only basis.

  • Might not be the answer you are looking for but I use Friendica - So I can pull in content from RSS/Atom as well as ActivityPub feeds. I sort of separage into Channels and Groups news related stuff seperate from actual people. I then use a number of different ActivtiyPub apps like Fedilab, Racoon to access my Friendica account

  • At the moment Im using Fedilab . since its easy to switch between Friendica and Mastodon and Pixelfed accounts. But I also dip into Jerboa and often use the Friendica web interface.

  • I've ended up moving to Friendica as my primary Fedi account because I can get Lemmy communities, RSS and Pixelfed, Mastodon and other ActivityFed accounts all from the one account.

    I still drip into Lemmy directly ( Like now ) because I haven't added all my subscribed communities.. and actually I haven't added any Perrtune ones yet. I gotta find some to watch.

    What I would love is if Fedilab or other held a buffer of recent posts from Frendica on my phone for when I'm stuck on a plane.

    Should we add Aspirepress to the description of this community?

    What's the feel about moving away from talking about WordPress and more talking about CMS based on Wordpress? - It seems that we are all going to have to move away from wordpress.org and WordPress branding.

  • Just picking up a conversation a few months ago. I was wondering if Im over complicating this. I think the takeout from earlier conversations were 'Install conduit' i think a 12V DC supply + Ethernet + separate conduit for AC power..

    but.. I also found POE injectors that look like thry take 12v as an input. (So potentially could run things from a battery/ solar supply ) https://a.aliexpress.com/_EG8apjq

    Im not sure if they would be suitable though.

  • Cheers yeah that completely makes sense. One reason I asked is that I run multiple SSIDs and some policy based routing so I thought that avoiding the complexity of another router might be an idea.

    Multiple aerials on Wifi6 Router

    Im considering purchasing a Banana Pi OpenWRT router.

    My previous devices have all had internal aerials but this device has four connectors.

    Knowing almost nothing about Wifi 6 and aerials How feasible is it to run extensions from one or more of those aerials out the wall of our house and use a larger uni or directional aerial to extend coverage in a particular direction from a high point or should you always have the same short aerials that come with the router?

  • Id love to find a #creditunion that supported #openbanking and offered API access to my data so I could easily download it and use it with Actual or FireflyIII. I think working with a credit union to build this feature would be a great open source project.

    Anyone using coopcloud.tech as a bais of their self hosting?

    I am thinking that this might be a bit over the top but Im interested if anyone uses the tools and recipes designed by coopcloud to deploy their self hosted applications.

    Nextcloud Hosted Services

    I've been looking at alternatives to Google Workspace / Office 365 for SME / non-profits.

    Broadly I have been searching for something that allows an organisation to use their own domain, includes email and nextcloud hosting and a mechanism to manage users/email addresses for the organisation.

    In my ideal solution alongside an email server we would have access to a cloud hosted LDAP server/instance to manage users passwords and permissions and then administrators would be able to spin up instances of applications such as Nextcloud, Wordpress, CiviCRM and other Open source applications as a service.

    I used the list of Hosting Providers on the Nexcloud website alongside the following list I found - https://github.com/thetuxinator/nextcloud_providers?tab=readme-ov-file

    As yet we haven't made any decisions but created a shortlist of providers to consider: These include:

    Are any of you based around London and using Starlink either because you are in a blackspot of Fibre / Fixed wireless or any other reason.

    If so I would love to have a chat regarding your experience.

    I have a spot that has no Fibre and a colleague that really wants Starlink but would love to get a view of people's experience.

    Proper Open Source Plugins

    When looking for plugins how do people sort through all the 'free' plugins that sound great but are actually 'fremuim' where all the key features are actually in a PRO version?

    How do you locate the fully featured proper open source plugins that are well maintained and used?

    Home Wiring

    This might be tangential to HomeAssistant but Im currently thinking about a household renovation and one thing I am considering is wiring.

    I have some POE devices along with many other that run with a 12v DC supply.

    I'm lookin at putting in a relatively straightforward 12v battery UPS with a small solar panel to charge. I probably only have space for 1500W of panels so putting in a whole grid tied solution is overkill. Primarily this is to provide backup as we sometimes lose power.

    Networking wise I think I will put RJ45 into each room as we are concrete reinforced construction and so signal quality is an issue.

    My query was how feasible it is to run both standard PEO devices and 12v devices (1-2w) all over POE.

    I thought the alternative would be to run separate 12v cables with USB connectors at the end into each room as well as Rj45

    Is anyone else doing this in their home?

    AP/router hardware recommendations for RV

    Asking for a friend - Because I have similar ideas - AP/router hardware recommendations for RV

    I'm looking for hardware recommendations for the depicted setup, with an AP/router running OpenWRT in an RV. Requirements:

    • Compact footprint: Very small equipment cabinet in RV.
    • Stable (unattended connectivity with light traffic for months).
    • Dual radios to support simultaneous WIFI uplink to Internet gw, as well as acting as a WIFI AP to clients.
    • 802.11ac or better WIFI speeds.
    • 1 Gbps or better Ethernet ports (at least two).
    • Light traffic over Wireguard link to home base (telemetry).
    • Low power usage preferred, 5V or 12V power supply preferred (available without shore power).

    Any ideas? Thanks!

    My thought was to also add a Starlink Connection using ethernet adapter for when no wifi or Mobile signal is a available and montior the bus with HomeAssistant for security and power management.

    Power Networks in the USA

    I know that the US has three or four major electricity networks (East, West, Texas, Hawaii) but I dont understand how they are they are regulated or operated.

    In many countries there are generators who produce power, retailers who sell power to retail customers and network operators who 'move' power between generators and consumers either through high voltage or local transmission lines but these roles are separate and you pay a separate fee for the connection/transmission vs the power you buy. Retailers pay to 'move' power from where its produced to where their customers are.

    The transmission companies in most cases regulated natural monopolies. Retailers and producers can be the same company.

    How does it work in the United States? Does one company own everything in some areas? Do you usually have a choice of energy retailer?

    Dynamic IP - Self hosting

    Im sure this has been asked before i juat can't find where it has been - Maybe need to work on how to search Lemmy better. But...

    Id like to eventually self host some sevices that require external access. While I have IpV6 addresses my IPV4 is dynamic.

    Whats the best free way to be able to point some domains/ subdomains I have to my external dynamic IP and keep it updated. Im running OpenWrt on my router. - So possibly should be posting there.

    Free Dyndns services seem to be a bit crap. Do I need to pay for a VPS? (seems to defeat the point of self hosting)

    Container Addons

    I'm doing a quick review of the Addons that I am using on my Windows PC. I've had a look at some of the previous posts to try to get an idea of where things are at

    Currently I have the following Container related Addons but I think things have moved on a bit since I looked at this.

    This means that opening Facebook and Google automatically goes into relevant containers and using Switch I can create separate containers for Work, Banking etc.

    I noticed that I'm not using Mozzilla's Multi-Account Containers

    Ideally I'd like to be able to:

    • Have Facebook and Google Open in their own containers
    • Potentially open separate containers for different Google Accounts
    • Allocate other domains to open

    Design patterns

    Just a bit or a wandering mind on my part but one of the issues in the back of my mind is what happens to whatever self hosting I setup if something happens to me.

    Ideally I'd like to be able to know that in case of emergency Id be able rely on a good friend or two to keep things going.

    My thought was that would require some common design patterns/ processes and standardisation.

    I also have these thoughts because eventually Id like to support other family members with self hosted services at their places. Standardising hardware, configurations etc makes that much simpler.

    How have others approached this?
