I think it's worth talking about as it seems to be very poir and it's a major problem towards adoption, one of the several. I have a tendency to occasionally go through my post history to try and remember things I had forgotten about. Go look and see how the conversation may have changed since I last looked and stuff like that when I'm just sitting around bored.

What I have noticed with Lemmy is that way too many posts no longer exist, I'm getting really tired of being able to see something in my post history but then when I try to go to it having it be unable to be loaded and it no longer is around. Most of these threads are not even that old it seems to constantly happen, stuff that's barely even a month back doesn't exist anymore let alone the things that are further back.

Meanwhile on Reddit I can still go to threads from like almost 10 years ago and as long as they didn't get hit by that phase where people went deleting their entire Post history everything is still there. I think the longevity of content is a pretty major issue. I'm not really sure what is causing it, if moderators are just randomly deleting threads, if people are randomly deleting their own stuff or if some instances have retention issues and delete older stuff.

Curious what others think about this, have you been running into it as well? Do you see it as a problem? Why or why not Etc

There was a point in my life where I was going to make my own solar batteries and I purchased around 300 21700 lithium sales to get started... Thankfully I got them from a bulk auctioner for almost nothing because I never ended up putting in the time to make more than one of the batteries as life just kept putting more important things in the way. At this point I have already said fuck it and simply purchased a large supply of premade solar batteries I did still get them from a bulk discount supplier to save some money.

The problem is that now I have a large supply of cells that I don't know what to do with them they aren't the standard 18650s so it's not quite as easy to find things that will accept them. I have found a couple decent usb-c portable power bank cases that will accept these cells and I now have like five of those and it's enough to charge pretty much any phone a good four times over which is nice but I need more uses I would like to put some flashlights in each of my vehicles to always have on hand and it would be neat if I could use these cells I've done a little bit of Googling but it seems like the options to accept this particular size is limited and I'm worried that they might be of poor quality.

Anyone got any recommendations on ones from a reputable supplier?

I finally had an area to setup the resin printer i got almost a year ago. Did initial setup, bed leveling, and set out to test with this benchmark I've seen around.

It's an elegoo saturn 2 printer, I'm using CHITUBOX basic as the slicer, all settings were the default it gave for this printer other than adding 0.5 wait time to before lift (default 0) , and bottom layer count to 8 (default 5)

I used the elegoo washing station for 10min then the curing station for 10min. There seem to be a lot of rough lines and the right side line ramp is barely visible at all. Not sure what this suggests needs adjustment and would appreciate some help getting into the correct direction.

I did do some looking around and at least it seems i should try 4 base layers only on this according to one of the places i found it hosted. Other than that I'm not sure how to clean it up more

I have been trying to look around But it seems like many of the options are either very limited for the self-hosted With a lot of options missing, have poor documentation, or don't support android.

I am attempting to find a replacement at work we are currently using Premier Wireless and I'm not at all happy with it. I don't have a lot of requirements from such a service I mainly just need to be able to have a kiosk style screen on a tablet where only the apps I want are shown, remote pushing of app installs, wifi settings, and limiting access to settings.

Does anyone know of a good self hostable solution for this?

Sometimes it makes you wonder how they manage to even find the reply button

I feel like I'm going insane, I can see people talking about logging in. I have seen screenshots of the login screen. And when I attempt to submit a post or something it tells me I need to be logged in to do that. But I cannot for the life of me no matter how hard I search the settings find somewhere to log in. I have tried searching for account, login, profile in the settings search and found nothing I have manually gone through every single category and cannot find anywhere to log in. I have attempted to completely uninstall and reinstall the application. This is either the most elaborate gaslighting attempt against some random asshole in history or there is something wrong with my app
