There’s something about being able to immediately identify what an error is and resolve it quickly to give oneself a little confidence boost.

Has anyone integrated the netbotz series (like a 320) with home-assistant.io or networkupstools.org or any open source DVRs ?

I have a couple of #Netbotz 320 from my #ewaste hookup that I am looking to use in my garage, connecting to our #HomeAssistant and the open source #DVR I'll be setting up. It would be cool & helpful to use the video camera feed along with the temp & moisture monitoring/trending.

neondystopia.world is an instance that values freedom of expression and equity above all else, something that I thought a devout christian like yourself would have valued. After all, Jesus too was prosecuted for his expression. We have fair and equitable guidelines for our users and moderators, ensuring that any reports filed are compared against our own rules and that of the instance the report originated from. We even investigate reports on staff independently to ensure they are peer reviewed and free from bias. We go above and beyond what most do to ensure that we maintain a comfortable and inclusive environment by carefully balancing free expression with fairness and equity. Choosing instead to deal with people on a case-by-case basis rather than blanket banning entire instances.

I don't take slander of our instance lightly, and wanted to leave you with a scripture in hope that you may reflect on your decision.

Matthew 7:1-5 “*Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.*"

Dear #mastoadmins, I'd like to improve the current setup using #caddy and #podman #compose. Is anyone using #podman #quadlet with #systemd? Also I understand that having the connection between caddy reverse proxy and mastodon via sockets is very cool and I'd like to give this a try as well.

Systemd is now offering keeping podman quadlet containers up to date by itself. Maybe this one can be leveraged as well.

Hey, all! Currently thinking about rules for a mastodon instance I'm putting together with a friend. What are some rules that you wish your server had? Or rules that would make you feel confident in joining a new server? I'm all ears!

(Please boost if you're so inclined.)
