Curious if anyone is working on the codebase for Lemmy. I'm sure we all see a few places where it could use some love.

The main repos are:

Personally, I've been working on a few small things for docs.

PS: Here's a pretty easy ticket to jump on if you want to get started :) https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1214

My wife and I are living full time in a campervan as we travel. I have a couple pi4's, mainly for low-power-consuption reasons. One pi4 is dedicated to Home Assistant, and another one runs our nas.

The Home Assistant pi also runs Grafana, Postgres/TimescaleDB, MQTT broker, and a few other HA addons

Right now, our nas is just a single ssd attached via USB, but that's more than enough right now for the essentials. Eventually the nas will run mergerFS and rclone and automatically back up our data (encrypted) to multiple cloud providers but it's just a starting point

I have a third pi4 running misc software and is kinda my scratch pad, the main thing it does right now is talk to our solar controllers and renogy batteries thru rs485/modbus-rtu using some custom software I wrote in typescript and then publishes that data on the mqtt bus, aggregates it, and then advertises it correctly to get it into Home Assistant and from HA, into grafana

Oh, and I also have a Linksys E8450 running openWRT as our router / ax-wap

Hey friend, I think you fell victim to that bug where you start replying and Lemmy directs you to another topic for some reason!

[–] sqlazer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

so I'm not crazy!!! Thanks, I noticed it independently but swore I had commented on the right thing, thanks for pointing it out!

It’s a bug, it’s happened to me 1-2 times. Not sure the cause.

I've seen this happening elsewhere. All growing pains.

That said, I am curious as to the thread you were responding. Sounds interesting. =)

Cheers!

Your comment tweaks my interest as an outdoor person and an engineer. =)
