I work on the Mellium project and sometimes on XEPs. Bike mechanic during the day, but also sometimes freelance software development.

Weirdly, my dog does this. The first time I planted potatoes I hadn’t checked them yet and one night my dog came back from going outside and dropped a potato in my lap. The next day he did it again and I went out to the garden and found two holes where he’d been digging them up.




If you’re in the U.S. you may even be able to get a free (or at a substantial discount) commercial heat exchanger later this year: https://www.hvac.com/resources/inflation-reduction-act-heat-pump-rebates/ Not quite as fun as the DIY version though!


Wall Hitch Mount for Bike Storage
Someone at work was throwing away an old hitch mount bike rack a while back. I hated to see it go to waste, so I built a "hitch" for the wall of my garage: ![a hitch mount bike rack mounted to the wall](https://community.xmpp.net/pictrs/image/b3e7fc67-9bde-4edf-9af7-c8e095bdee90.jpeg) ![the same bike rack with two bikes on it](https://community.xmpp.net/pictrs/image/a279ae05-065c-4ac9-8bf0-64ad404d63af.jpeg)

cross-posted from: https://community.xmpp.net/post/34677 > For the last few years we've accepted patches on both GitHub and Sourcehut and used Sourcehut for our CI system. We have tried to move entirely to Sourcehut in the past but it ended up [not meeting our needs](https://codeberg.org/mellium/xmpp/issues/51), and we've tried starting our own co-op code hosting, but were not able to find many cooperators who wanted to help (if you'd like to join us and cooperatively host a Gitea instance, [reach out](https://blog.samwhited.com/about/)!). We have been experimenting with mirroring a few of the main repos on Codeberg and using their experimental CI feature, and this has been going much smoother and has been much simpler than the current SourceHut integration. > > With all this in mind, we've decided that the time is right to move to [Codeberg](https://codeberg.org/). > > For the time being we will continue to accept pull requests for the main project and a few of the support libraries over on GitHub, and we will keep the main projects CI running on Sourcehut as well as on the new Codeberg CI so that both Codeberg and GitHub based PRs can show the status. However, smaller support libraries that do not receive contributions often will be moved entirely to Codeberg and PRs on GitHub will be automatically closed. > > Eventually, once we are certain everything is working smoothly, the old GitHub repos will be retired and become mirrors on which we do not accept contributions and all Sourcehut repos will be deleted. There is no timeline for this currently. If you would like to keep track of the timeline once we have one, or submit comments or suggestions you can track the issue https://mellium.im/issue/304 > > Some repos are still being moved, but the main project is now on Codeberg and ready to accept contributions. To track the overall migration, see https://mellium.im/issue/301 > > Thanks for your continued support and contributions!

Oh nifty, I do this when backpacking to keep rice, noodles, or whatever grains and cereals I’m carrying dry, but it never occurred to me that folks might do it at home too! What bottles work/look the best I wonder? On the trail I always used Gatorade bottles because they’re a bit thicker walled.




A new initiative from the folks at jmp.chat creates a fediverse compatible hosting solution that eventually aims to integrate with XMPP!



This release fixes RFC 3920 session building ([#3468](https://lab.louiz.org/poezio/slixmpp/-/issues/3468)), improves certificate errors handling, and adds an XEP-0454 (OMEMO Media Sharing) plugin. The python cryptography package is required to use the XEP-0454 plugin.

When a bicycle comes with terrible wrenches that would normally just be thrown away because they cut into your hands, what do you do? Save some scrap bar wrap that would otherwise go in the trash and make nice handles for them of course! Now the tool is actually useful and you have a use for your excess tape (not to mention it looks good)!

There is a fundraiser (money managed by the XSF, the project and developers aren't related though) to add history support to the Matrix/XMPP bridge Bifrost, check it out, and possibly throw them a few bucks if you're frequently bridging to Matrix rooms!

If you have some technical ability and are on Android I’d setup sshd on the phone (there are various apps to do this easily) and use rsync(1) or scp(1).

If you want something less technical, I use the Conversations app on my phone and Dino on my desktop for chat and sometimes send files to myself. Not ideal, but it does work pretty well for one-off smaller files.


oh drat, doesn’t look like their federation support actually lets you subscribe to groups in other lemmy instances yet? Oh well, soon I hope!


Welcome to Lemmy!
Oops, hi again all; I am just learning to administer a Lemmy instance and accidentally deleted all my posts. Not to worry though, feel free to re-introduce yourself here, and welcome to lemmy!
