- Comment on How To Parse JSON Data To A Human Readable Format 1 week ago:
In the Homarr docs, there is this: https://homarr.dev/docs/widgets/iframe/
Towards the end there is a link to https://github.com/diogovalentte/homarr-iframes which contains many examples of some content formatted nicely to fit within Homarr iframes and a docker container you can use to make a url that the iframe widget can consume. They used Go which is only a little harder than Python to read.
Seems like this one - https://github.com/diogovalentte/homarr-iframes/tree/main/src/sources/changedetectionio - makes a request to a JSON api, for example.
- Comment on Email ownership, I give up. 1 week ago:
Fair enough - I got it working recently but it was the hardest self-hosting install I’ve done. No way most people would succeed. Email is 50(?) years of questionable design decisions piled on top of each other so it’s become a whole world of weird stuff. Doing email should be it’s own tech specialty, like ‘devops’ or ‘db admin’ is. There’s enough depth to it.
There are a ton of email providers who are not Google, though. e.g. https://proton.me/mail. You don’t need to run it on your own hardware.

No, those are for promoting communities.

How long would it take to type in a bootloader?
- Comment on An unusually wide adoption of rooftop solar in Aleppo, Syria. 2 months ago:
In Google maps you can use satellite mode to look at their roofs. There are some panels but nothing like this.
edit: satellite mode is out of date, see further conversation below.
- Comment on S3 Buckets for Storing Files 2 months ago:
You could install Nextcloud on the VPS, configure Nextcloud to store things in S3, and use Nextcloud’s apps on the clients. And have Nextcloud provide webdav services and use your client OSs native webdav tooling.

Yes, you’re right.

The person who is using that character found a way around that somehow! So the next release doesn’t try to restrict it anymore.

I have built functionality into PieFed that detects AI posts and comments.
This poster is AI for sure. He’s done one or two real comments, for camouflage, but the rest are A-grade slop.
And it’s lying about it. That’s kinda creepy.
- Comment on OpenWRT router 5 months ago:
Does this mean that it won’t be supported on OpenWRT for much longer?
No, they’re really good about supporting old routers for as long as possible. For many years the best router to use with OpenWRT was this one from 2002 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_WRT54G_series
- Comment on ‘It’s real y’all’: People are sharing their tariff receipts, and my wallet is not ready for what’s coming 1 year ago:
I wonder if the surplus goods that would have been sent to USA will instead flood other markets and bring down prices there.
