๐Ÿคท just my opinion as requested in the post. You've given yours. No idea what you mean about astroturfing

Probably not what you're looking for but I find the https://alternativeto.net/ news pretty good for software

Open source software for library of things? in c/[email protected]

Yes you're probably right. It's called library of things locally. The hire costs are very low but necessary for sustainability of the scheme

There's usually a fee for borrowing items so it would need to connect to a payment system ๐Ÿ‘

Thanks, I saw this and discounted because of the books focus but perhaps it's easy enough to add different categories. I'll take another look ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

A local library of things is moaning about the crap back end of their systems and I wondered whether anybody could recommend something more user friendly.

They currently use https://www.lend-engine.com/ . I would love it if something like https://evershop.io/ could be used with it's sweet UX... Any other ideas? ๐Ÿ™

Any experiences with family only mastodon servers? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I did this, we used https://masto.host/ and prevented other registrations. You can also make the posts invisible to people who aren't logged in

This should be a blueprint across the whole UK.

Time to get serious with E2E encrypted messaging (techcrunch.com)
 

I currently use Telegram for my friends and family, but have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the UK Government is either reaching agreement for backdoors with messaging services, or is trying its hardest to.

I'm also on Element/Matrix. Before I try to get my contacts to join me on there, should I be aware of any privacy issues or is that a good place to head?

Apparently on current policy the UK will only get to 57% reduction in GHG leaving a whopping gap.

An amazing bit of digital detective work here. Seems like Linux mobile is your only off ramp from being exhaustively tracked

Is there any other format of media that you think should come to the fediverse? in c/[email protected]

Heat pump as a money trap; the real issue is building regs (www.getsurrey.co.uk)
 

I totally feel for this guy. But the real crime here is successive governments that have completely failed in holding the housebuilders to account with tougher specs for new build houses.

Why the hell a 2020 newbuild house needs any space heating at all is beyond me. Should just be passive, with electric heater for the shower.

The big picture is that we are shipping great wealth to fuel-producing countries because politicians are too lazy or corrupt to insist on modern building methods and standards that are properly enforced.

Help - create curated feed of archived webpages using open source product (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi, I'm trying to add value to a community by creating a curated feed of webpages about a specific topic. For example, if it was Scottish snakes (it isn't) then I would archive every news article I saw on the topic, and host the feed on a webpage or similar.

I've tried Wallabag, and I can't find a way to publish the whole feed - just an individual article.

Any suggestions for other open source tools for this?
