Hello everyone! I'm using a TIG stack (Telegraf, InfluxDB, Grafana) in Docker to monitor my server and I keep running into the same issues.

When the Telegraf container gets updated (removed and recreated), the Hostname changes. This leads to Grafana to split the data (best case) or show no data at all (worst case) since it was told to show a specific field which is named after the host.

Now, I have tried regexing the column (example: /uptime_format/ in flux) but I'm a noob at both regex and flux so that doesn't work either.

I think I might need to set the hostname in the telegraf container but I thought I'd ask if anyone else solved this problem before. :)

Thank you for reading.

I recently had a discussion about ACs and how they heat up cities.

Then I found an article about theoretical increase of efficiency of acs by using the heat pulled from a room to run a thermoelectric device and getting some of the energy back that was used in the ac.

I‘ve had this downstream thought many times already: since hot air is basically just energy stored. Could we theoretically pull (all?) the energy from the air (depending on desired temp) to cool it and casually fuel our society’s energy needs?

Maybe I‘ll mod my ps3 to make it emulate games. I heard that works pretty good.

I obviously would like to get tons of old games and since they’re not sold anywhere for a fair price, I deem it morally sound to find them.

I heard of „handheld retro gaming consoles“ which also have found games on them. Does anyone have experience with those?

Btw: Since the graphics are pretty low res, that could be a better alternative than the ps3 since the 55“ tv its hooked up to might make it look worse.

It’s just an idea at this point so I‘m happy for any direction. I figured c/retrogaming might be wrong since talking about finding unlicensed games might be against their rules. Feel free to advise me otherwise.

P.S.: Forgive the ignorance. I know my way around commandline and some medium advanced programming but I‘m not pro at sailing the high seas at all.

Hi folks! I moderate a community but the app I use while on the go (memmy) does not seem to have any mod tools. I can’t find a way to delete posts on the community I mod. Maybe its my mistake.

Does anyone know of a solution for this? Except maybe using the web interface I assume.

Thanks in advance.

I read the article but I didn’t check out the platform yet. Thought it might be useful for my fellow autistic people.

TL;DR: I want to pull emails from 5 accounts on to my homeserver to anti spam them and have my clients pull from there

I currently have like 5 major email accounts on different providers which I use for 100s of accounts on many platforms.

Some of these accounts are very old and come with the added bonus of no spam filter on the free tier.

Now, if you use outlook, you can define anti spam rules there, I know. But since I‘m using many different devices and different mail clients, I can’t be bothered to make anti spam rules for all of them.

So I thought it should be doable to pull all the emails from all my accounts and have them go through anti spam on my home server. Sidenote: I have anti spam on some email providers but I can’t redirect the one address to there as to use that accounts anti spam.

One solution would be to just get rid of this one account but I‘m a little anxious about the consequences since it is my oldest account with unthinkable amounts of accounts linked to it.

Does anyone have a similar scenario or an idea for a solution?

I know I could google it but I prefer to discuss it here:

There are many interesting discussions about antitrust, companies being jerks and corporats making the world worse.

I think it would be cool to have a couple „rogue“ lawyers band together and start making class action law suits against corporations and states for using/enabling anti consumer/anti competitive practices.

I have never been asked to participate in such lawsuits so I assume its not being optimally presented online so far.

Feel free to correct my impression here.

TL;DR: I think we need more ways to fight against anti consumer/privacy stuff in courts all over the world.

Hi there!

I‘m running a somewhat developed home server setup and add more services every month.

But this thing eludes me:

I have 2 IP cameras for my pet room (I have a couple bearded dragons in terrariums).

The cameras are fenton 351.150

I can stream many different formats to home assistant or the browser. I also tried multiple apps like viseron (which is pretty cool) and agentdvr from ispy (which always makes the hair on my neck stand up since it looks like it was cobbled together).

But what doesnt work is controlling the camera, mostly. I believe agentdvr could do that but I‘m really unhappy about that app. Also, it pushes monetization very hard albeit seeming to be open source.

I also found this: https://medevel.com/10-cctv-open-source-solutions/

Does anyone have experience with a non-jank and non-pushy cctv solution that lets me control the cameras instead of just streaming?

Have a good one!

I just checked the github page and it seems this bug is low priority:

Memmy does sometimes not let you post or comment due to a weird bug that thinks you‘re posting in the wrong language.

I just want to point out that I‘ve had this bug twice so far and others (maybe many) will have it too which severely hinders the growth of lemmy at this critical time.

If someone reads this who has any clout, stuff like this is what can trip a promising platform like this. Exponential growth and all.

Have a good one.

Thanks to whoever made this place on lemmy! It has been an important and awesome resource on reddit and NDs are the first who should leave reddit immediately since the toxic leadership decisions. It’s wonderful to see that we now have a place here! <3

Hi there! I moderate a couple subreddits and would like to bring at least a copy of them to lemmy (so I can move them entirely if I decide/am forced to).

I have searched on google and github extensively but since I‘m quite new to python, frankensteining a working script is out of reach just now.

Since the pushshift api has stopped working afaik, most scripts I find will not work. I tried a couple, all with the same outcome so far.

I‘m in contact with a couple coder friends to find someone able to make this work and have at least some seed content (100 posts, all if possible) for these subreddits.

Does anyone here have a working script? And why are we not seeing massive copies of subreddit emerge? Has it just become impossible? (It should at least be possible to use a headless browser to copy the data by „manually“ sifting through subs.

Hope to find someone who can help. Have a good one! :)
