- Is it not possible to put it in another room?
- Those servers are designed to go into a dedicated server room without regard to noise. Could you relocate it to a new enclosure?




Piefed is software. You’re referring to the piefed.social instance.


Cool, thank you!


When you add a server endpoint in the settings, you’re pointing it at your own existing server (Dawarich, Home Assistant, Traccar or any HTTP endpoint).
Ok please forgive me, I’m unfamiliar with this terminology.
Colota actually has automatic file export (Settings > Export Data > Auto-Export)
Oh, sick, I missed that somehow, thanks.
Sorry for the confusion on my part.
I still don’t see a way to import data? Doesn’t do any good to back it up if I can’t import it back in?


There is no backup server. Users can create and add one if they like.
No I understood the server is self-hosted…?
Colota offers out of the box file export
I see that but this should be an automatic backup process. Plus there’s no way I can see to IMPORT that data somewhere else.
When I use an app like Fitotrack, it automatically makes a backup file periodically and then is automatically backed up to my server with Nextcloud or Syncthing. I don’t need a dedicated server for it.
Colota already uses WiFi for home detection (WiFi pause in geofence zones)
How can it do that when it didn’t ask me for an SSID? And what’s the point of the geofence if it doesn’t even use it anyway? I am cornfuse.
When wifi disconnects or/and motion is recognized the GPS starts again.
How is motion recognized without GPS?


Why a dedicated backup server instead of just backing up to a local file that can then be backed up to a service of choice?
Also for profiles, it would make more sense to use Bluetooth to detect a vehicle or WiFi to detect when you’re home vs. Geofencing or Android Auto or speed. How can it tell when you leave the geofence if the GPS is off?
They’re both dumb ideas. That’s the point.
I could ask you the same question.
Getting a receipt also requires an adult participant. People don’t make a habit of tossing alcohol receipts on the ground.
And you could ask any random adult to borrow their ID, as I said.


It would be really smart if devs just started implementing “sign in with Mastodon” or something on new projects but unfortunately they do not.
A receipt from alcohol purchase seems equally as valid as a govt ID. One could falsify either by just stealing someone else’s.
And until these whackadoo politicians decide they’re going to provide the tools or other guidance on exactly how to verify someone’s age, it seems appropriate.
I don’t know that they crippled anything. I still regularly see posts from a few users. The problem is that they just half-assed it. It’s unidirectional. So you can see and reply to their posts, and they can see your replies (or they use to be able to) but they can’t do anything back. They can’t follow you or reply to anything. It’s also opt-in, and almost no one cared enough to do that.
I think the reason they did it in the first place was to avoid regulatory scrutiny but any shits given about that previously are completely gone now since we transitioned into a corporate utopia.

Agreed on all accounts. Feels half-baked and abandoned.


I’d probably choose somewhere outside of France. Hetzner probably a better bet.
I find that people on the internet are largely incapable of level-headed discussions.
Start a discussion, debate, or ponder about whether water is wet
Do we really need more petty debates? 😅


Mostly cultural, with a strong focus from NOSTR appearing to be crypto scams.
I guess that explains the transition to AI coding as well
