Seriously. Lemmy is kinda gross with this stuff.

This change is shit but I'm not a fan of personal attacks on the guy.

Hey, did you ever get a chance to explore this?

I run Uptime Kuma on my personal server, it works as a standalone Docker container if that's your jam: https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma

Of course you probably don't want to run it on the same server you're running Lemmy on to avoid it also going down. Personally I run it on a free tier Oracle Cloud instance.

There have been a few outages lately so it would be helpful to have a reference for status and to see communications.

I know being a sysadmin is thankless work, I'm a DevOps engineer by trade :) so thanks for all you do. And if you ever need tips I have my work and personal home lab as a reference.

Public transportation does this too and isn't controlled by some company trying to make graphs go up

Nebula is the only thing remotely comparable.

I'm loving it. But its not a "search what you want and you'll find it" like YouTube is. You can't search for a video to DIY your bathroom tile.

That alternative simply doesn't exist.

If you treat it like podcasts i.e. follow creators you like (just about all of them are also YouTubers) theres some excellent content there. And the creators are all stakeholders so no daddy capitalist screwing with algorithms.

PeerTube is the open source federated one. But discovery is next to impossible on it.

Thank you. This drives me crazy. Apple for comparison is less then 0.5%

The video is either being transcoded or direct streaming. The red line is how far ahead that process is.

FUCK.

I've been wanting to sell mine for ages and get the Honeywell Z-Wave one. Now I can't really do that. Fuck off Google.

Like many parts of the US, we were in serious g danger of massive budget cuts for next year after COVID transit relief dries up.

In Chicago's case we had three scenarios.

  1. Funding does not pass, 40% service cuts everywhere. Devastating

  2. 700 million. Status quo, the current schedules remain with the gaps many have been experiencing since ether pandemic.

  3. This 1.5 billion. Not without compromises, but very promising to improve reliability and frequency

How long until AI models start training off Grokipedia, and we have the biggest game of hallucination telephone?

  1. Where do people keep getting this SLA pink promise information? Your SLA has to be presented to potential clients and whether you've been successful in maintaining it can make or break them being on board. It's also audited for things like SOC2 compliance.

  2. That's a microscopic fraction of what a product the size of Signal is dealing with, and unimaginably small compared to AWS

[–] magguzu@midwest.social 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Great. Can you reference an SLA to prove that, and what's the size of that server?

Apples and oranges.

It's not just words on paper. It's a level of service you commit to and owe repercussions when broken.

 

What's your go-to OSS navigation app? I've been trying the three in the title. CoMaps is a fork of Organic but Osm seems to be its own thing. Honestly haven't seen a reason yet to prefer one over another besides Osm's pretty bad name.

For public transit (trains buses etc) I use Transit, it's not OSS but the company aligns strongly with me and I like that their employees get four-day workweeks: https://transitapp.com/vision However if there's a OSS alternative I'm not aware of I'm always willing to try it.

For finding businesses I would not expect much.. there seems to be no good answer that isn't Yelp or Google Maps, and of course that kinda goes by the nature of crowd sourced reviews and information. I have GMaps WV but it's kind clunky and I just ended up falling back to Maps unfortunately.

EDIT: Forgot to mention biking. I live in a not-so-bike friendly suburb and have actually found that Google gives me WORSE bike routes than OsmAnd, for what it's worth. The OSM route tends to be more roundabout but safer. My guess is you get more urbanist minded people contributing to these, so that's nice to see.
