  • Ive spent 98% of my time here in Lemmy vs. 2% since last night. I’m not deleting my reddit account just yet, but, overall like what I am seeing here. I’m also just trying to figure everything out here.

    There are issues/worries about what happens when an instance goes away, where’s that content go? Duplicate/fragmented communities on multiple instances.

    I’m more worried about losing the CONTENT that we created on Reddit, etc as a historic/research tool if reddit fails completely. Lot of content with people helping others.

    I see/saw a lot of talk about wiping your data before leaving… I’m sure if that happened in larg volumes, they have backups of that content. No idea what legal ramifications there are with restoring them though.

    I’m in a wait and see, but w/o RIF I’m gonna be hard pressed to use reddit on my phone, and if old. Goes away that might end it for me.


  • I’m tracking my HVAC filter and rest it’s 90days with an NFC tag

    Loosely followed an online how-to to create a tracking chore list using NFC tags for my son’s allowance. Automations to nag him on trash night to gather/take out the trash.

    A simple Automation that turns on a fan in the basement when the outside temp is above out AC setting to help distribute cool basement air.

    Outside security lights on/off at dusk/dawn

    House auto arms/disarms (Alarmo) when everyone leaves or someone arrives (via life 360 integration)

    On trash day, after noon if my son scans (NFC) one of the trash cans, the garage door opens to let him in/put them away.

    My son gets a notification when he comes home from school if we got mail (aka the mailbox was opened that day)

    Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
