Interesting

MEMS oscillators incorporate MEMS resonators, which are microelectromechanical structures that define stable frequencies. MEMS clock generators are MEMS timing devices with multiple outputs for systems that need more than a single reference frequency. MEMS oscillators are a valid alternative to older, more established quartz crystal oscillators, offering better resilience against vibration and mechanical shock, and reliability with respect to temperature variation.

So the helium causes physical interference by leaking into the housing?

  • OwnTracks
  • Home assistant with nabu casa

I haven’t explored either


Thank you for sharing, and also

Unfortunately that seems to be the case for a handful of Foss apps. Fdroid might not be a priority for them yet

I didn’t like the cost section, because it felt simplistic. The actual procedure might be “cheaper”, but it doesn’t take into account the long term costs if something goes wrong with the “cheaper” option. Living liver donation is different from say a kidney, you’re taking a part of someone else’s liver.

“The sicker someone is, the more they benefit from getting an entire liver from a deceased donor, as opposed to part of the liver from a living donor,” said Dr. Saumya Jayakumar, a liver specialist in Edmonton and an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Alberta.

“On the off chance their (living) liver doesn’t work, they urgently get listed for a deceased donor,” said Jayakumar. "We need to make sure that everyone who is a candidate for a living donor is also a candidate for a donor graft as well, " she added.

I worry people are going to see those numbers and run with them, even though there’s more to consider than that. Financial calculations in medicine are always difficult, and it feels dirty no matter what


I was reading through the article and I think the policy in question is this

Transplant guidelines in Ontario and much of Canada require patients with ALD to first qualify for a deceased donor liver. If they don’t meet that criteria, they aren’t considered for a living liver transplant, even if one is available.

Also this

“The sicker someone is, the more they benefit from getting an entire liver from a deceased donor, as opposed to part of the liver from a living donor,” said Dr. Saumya Jayakumar, a liver specialist in Edmonton and an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Alberta.

“On the off chance their (living) liver doesn’t work, they urgently get listed for a deceased donor,” said Jayakumar. "We need to make sure that everyone who is a candidate for a living donor is also a candidate for a donor graft as well, " she added.

As for why that is, I’m not familiar. I’ve asked someone else and I’ll edit in more if I learn more


It does help set a good precedent. When companies try to do the same thing, further hurting smaller artists, we can point to this case


About the project > Plant-it is a self-hosted gardening companion app. > Useful for keeping track of plant care, receiving notifications about when to water plants, uploading plant images, and more. About this release: > Highlights > In this release, we've made significant improvements to both the app and server, focusing on performance, notifications, and overall user experience. One of the most notable changes is the switch from Ubuntu to Alpine as the base Docker image for the server, resulting in a much smaller image size, which should lead to faster deployments and lower resource usage. We've also introduced Gotify notifications across both the app and server, providing alerts to keep you informed. Additionally, we've addressed various small fixes and enhancements to improve stability and usability.

I’ll include a note in the post about making a backup first, sorry about that!

Sorry for the delay, it’s been updated!


It is a good question, I had the same when I first heard about it.

I think lots of people keep both installed:

  • the default one is good for managing server related things
  • this one is good for daily use, especially for any other users you might have

What I liked:

  • feels much faster and smoother
  • UI is nice and clean
  • download manager works nicely, as another user mentioned. You don’t need to open a separate app to play the files

That might be my bad, I saw an update notification and it may have been Droid-ify.

I’ll update the title just in case

The study that is mentioned: (researchgate.net)

But not all is well at the moment with Canada’s federal public service. In a forthcoming study to be published in the Review of Public Personnel Administration, my co-researcher and I find that the inability of both French and English-speaking federal public servants to work in their official language of choice is pushing them to consider quitting their jobs.

Approximately 40 per cent of English and French-speaking public servants, citing a low ability to use their official language at work, said they intended to quit their jobs for something else within the public service, whereas the probability of quitting was only 26 per cent among public servants expressing a high ability to use their official language at work.

On Tuesday night, the Canadian men’s soccer team will face a historic test when it squares off with Argentina in the Copa America semifinals.

The game will begin at 8 p.m. and fans in Canada can watch the game on TSN and those who are south of the border can watch it on FS1.

I’m excited regardless of the outcome :)



At some point I think I’m going to write a post about nice behaviour here. I have to think about it some more… And this is a diverse place anyways, other people might like different things.

I’d read something like that :)

Sometimes we also don’t think about how we could be doing something better. Another thing that comes to mind, which I sometimes forget, is upvoting the post that you are commenting on. Usually if I’m commenting, I want more people to see and join the discussion, but I forget to upvote before leaving the tab



This can include a design for Canada, or for individual regions/communities. Have fun :)


That’s a good point, I try to post a few relevant pieces each time and add context in the post body. Still, not all posts are good and so I’m open to people pointing it out when it happens :)

A lot of my RSS feed is for healthcare content or local news, and those communities don’t have much content otherwise. I’ll see about trying to get more of a discussion going for each of the posts I share

FreshRSS has support for sharing to Lemmy (and Mastodon, etc.)
I hadn't gone exploring through the settings till now. You can add a share button for your instance by going to `Settings` > `Sharing` > `Add sharing method`. After that you just paste in your instance URL (ex. `https://lemmy.ca` for me). The steps are the same for both Lemmy and Mastodon Makes it much easier to share content here :) As for the setting I was looking for, press "J" to jump to the next article

I also saw a post about a portainer alternative, anyone know others?

Monitor (docs.monitor.mogh.tech) (from the other site)

  • “core API and periphery agent are written in Rust”
  • Nice UI & lots of features
  • I wish it had a different name because “Monitor” is very hard to search with

DockGe from the other post

  • Looks like it’s popular, from the other post

  • Features are more limited, no environment variables yet I don’t think

Fork of HomeBox released (v0.11.0)
Saw [this post on another site](https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1dji32j): > If you previously did not our [mini announcement](https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1dicigm/were_working_to_continue_homebox/) HomeBox was archived by the original author. We are working to continue the project ourselves. This release is mostly just switching things over to our namespace and getting a docker image published for people to switch over to, but also contains some minor bug fixes. > > **What is HomeBox** > > Homebox is the inventory and organization system built for the Home User! With a focus on simplicity and ease of use, Homebox is the perfect solution for your home inventory, organization, and management needs. While developing this project, with the the following principles in mind: > > * *Simple* - Homebox is designed to be simple and easy to use. No complicated setup or configuration required. Use either a single docker container, or deploy yourself by compiling the binary for your platform of choice. > * *Blazingly Fast* - Homebox is written in Go, which makes it extremely fast and requires minimal resources to deploy. In general idle memory usage is less than 50MB for the whole container. > * *Portable* - Homebox is designed to be portable and run on anywhere. We use SQLite and an embedded Web UI to make it easy to deploy, use, and backup. > > **v0.11.0 Changes** > > * Fixes improper int parsing (64 bit int being converted into a 32 bit int) > * Fixes CSV being exported as a TSV > * Switches the Go namespace to the [github.com/sysadminsmedia/homebox](http://github.com/sysadminsmedia/homebox) one > * All new docker publishing Github Actions > * Docs switched to vitepress and published to new domain [https://homebox.sysadminsmedia.com](https://homebox.sysadminsmedia.com) > > **Contributing** > > We are accepting any type of contribution, including bug reports, feature requests, PRs, etc. if your interested. We firmly believe that open source software lives and dies by its community, and we're hoping that you'll join us on this journey as we figure things out and make HomeBox great. > > **For Those Switching** > > If your planning to switch from the original image to this one, please make sure you backup your existing data. And then you can simply switch the docker image to ours, and all of your data should be right where you left it when you start the docker container.

I’m fuzzy on the details, but I do get reports from users on another instance as long as it’s “relevant” (ex. in one of our communities, one of our users)

Banning a foreign user on our instance will fix the problem for our instance, but they need to be banned on the home instance too in order to stop the spam from continuing


Which link/bookmark manger do you prefer, and why?
There are so many out there, a few that I came across include: - Wallabag ( [GitHub](https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag), [Website](https://wallabag.org/)): Older, long history, somewhat clunky now? - LinkWarden ([Website](https://linkwarden.app/)): Focus on multi user and teams? - Raindrop.io ([Website](https://raindrop.io/)) - Omnivore ([Website](https://omnivore.app/)) - Hoarder ([GitHub](https://github.com/hoarder-app/hoarder)) - Shiori ([Article](https://noted.lol/tutorial-setting-up-shiori/)) - Readeck ([Website](https://readeck.org/en/)) Having a giant comparison table for this might be nice

Somehow I never tried looking at Digg

It reminds me of the original “Your doctor doesn’t want you to know these 8 tricks for belly fat” ads, only that’s the actual content?


One thing I noticed the other day, while banning one such bot, is that the same network has been posting on Reddit as well.

Turns out the Reddit ones have been posting the spam for months, while the Lemmy ones get banned within hours.

Part of that is the lower volume of content here, but part of it is also the great people that take the time to report bad content ♥️

Others are covering the details of the article, I took a look at the source. It only started up last year:

Canadian Affairs was founded by Lauren Heuser in 2023. You can read why Lauren founded a publication for families and professionals in her founding essay.

Canadian Affairs is independent and nonpartisan. It is wholly owned by Lauren and has no outside investors. It is a Qualified Canadian Journalism Organization.

Links to the person’s past work:


Take a skim through the link for full details (especially the **breaking changes**), but I have included some parts that I thought were important: > This release has been over two years in the making, so we're really glad to finally get it out to you.

This should make things like installing plugins much more robust and ensure a consistent restart experience regardless of platform or install method. > - [...] > - The backend SQLite database now supports connection pooling, which should improve performance for database operations. > - [...] Also sections on Packaging, Transcoding & FFmpeg improvements/support, Scanning, Library & Playlist Management, and Casting --- > **The Next Version** > > With our continuous integrations improvements outlined previously, we're quite confident that this will be our last "very long" release cycle. Our plan is for the next major version (10.10.0) to be released at most 6 months from now, some time in October. We hope this increased cadence will help alleviate the problems with large releases such as a very long time-to-stable for new features, translations, etc. and help lower the number of major bugs at each major release, streamlining the upgrade process. But this needs everyone's help. Back in October 2023, we made a call for developers, and we've gotten a lot of interest, but this is not a one-and-done event. **We need contributions now more than ever, especially around the web frontend to help implement our planned design changes. If this interests you, please reach out and we can help get you set up.**

"A person who feels under the weather — the last thing they want to do is possibly get on a bus, or into their vehicle, or ask someone for a ride to go to their doctors office," said Ali. > As of 2023, employers in Nova Scotia are only allowed to request a sick note if the absence is more than five consecutive work days. > > New legislation in Ontario, meanwhile, will force employers to scrap sick notes for the three days of provincially mandated annual sick leave. The Ontario government is moving to ban sick notes for short-term illness, in an effort to cut down on paperwork for family doctors. > In a statement sent to CBC News, B.C.'s Ministry of Labour said employers are able to request "reasonably sufficient proof" of illness, but are encouraged to be thoughtful about when they request sick notes. > > It did not respond to questions about whether it is considering legislation to ban or restrict asking for sick notes.
