  • With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can’t understand why someone should waste time to find their smartphone, power it on, input the pin for the sim, unlock the screen, find the right app in the app jungle, open it, find the “new note” option, which is hidden in a sub menu instead of using a short cut on your keyboard to bring up a terminal, which opens Vim and automatically saves the file as a note with the correct file name.











  • Because of the “abuse of the software” I mentioned above.

    But I think my current solution to this would be to keep the static website (blog) and just add a sentence there, like “Click here for the official comment section to this article”, linking to a Lemmy/Mastodon thread.

    With this I can have the advantages of both worlds and even if I will change the blog software, the comment section will be the same, which is a big plus, because I already switched from Wordpress to Pelican and there was no way to backup comments.






  • I’m saying this as somebody who is pro protecting the environment, but also pro prioritising our efforts in the places they’ll have greatest impact. You’ll probably have a bigger impact by walking to the store instead of driving.

    Whataboutism isn’t really helpful, because you can believe me, that I have already optimized every other field in my life and people even call me extreme.

    I really want to put the focus on this specific topic.

    But you might be somehow right, that IF a server is already used for an energy consuming tool (like a fediverse tool [Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, FireFish, etc.]), the energy consumption is pretty low in comparison of the fediverse tool, if there is a static website running on the same server. What IF there isn’t this energy consuming tool?

    Actually, I am really worried that this could be used as an excuse and the rebound effect takes effect, using a lot of tools on the same server.




  • If that would be possible, how would you moderate comments, seeing how random things can get?

    I don’t know what you mean? If I am the admin of an instance or the moderator of a group, I could delete comments or is this just not possible?

    Federating with only approved finstances (federated instance)?

    Why doing this? Wouldn’t it be enough to block the illegal instances and those who are explicitly against your topics?

    What if you keep your blog, then push every post you make there to your solo-community on a finstance? You can engineer your comment section on the blog to pint here or fetch the comments content from fediverse to your blog…

    I am trying to be as green as possible. Having a blog on one server and the comments on another sounds like an inefficient way of using resources. Why not just put the articles where the comments are?

    With Mastodon I had the same idea, that I will publish an article, post a link with short description on Mastodon and then use the Mastodon post as the comment section, then edit the blog article and put the link to Mastodon on the end of the article with a simple text link like “Comment section”.

    But even this idea felt a bit odd and more unprofessional.

    Lemmy looks like a really good solution to this atm.
