As one of the people who has been involved in some of those discussions recently, I will say that I think there is merit to thoughtful, constructive content relating to crime that helps advance the conversation and bring awareness to solutions and progress.

What I don’t think is appropriate in the format of a Lemmy community is posting a link to every bulletin that a new crime happened. This community isn’t a police scanner, and I don’t think the structure of Lemmy, or Reddit for that matter, are conducive to spamming repetitive, shallow content.

I want to make it clear that yes, I do care about crime, want to see it reduced, and I am not trying to turn a blind eye to it. But I don’t need to know every single incident to know that it’s happening. These bulletin-style crime reports don’t give me, and I would imagine many people, new information that helps further the process of policy, social support, etc that could improve the state of the issue.

Seafile is probably the next biggest/most developed alternative. When I’ve tried setting it up in the past I’ve had serious issues getting it running behind a reverse proxy. Would be fine for local or VPN/Tailscale style usage though. Also, data is stored in a proprietary database which would make configuring external backups a bit harder.

Syncthing is probably the most flexible option, but it’s not a “cloud” storage solution, it’s peer-to-peer file syncing. Doesn’t really allow for easy selective sync or quick deployment and configuration.

There’s also Owncloud but I don’t have experience with it.

And the wait begins again!

I don’t really have a preference on the team name, all I want is the rowdy fan section to be sponsored by Milwaukee Tools so the fans can be the “Milwaukee Tools”

And still no sign of the Raspberry Pi 5!

The wait to see if this version is stable enough to be worth upgrading to. 6.12.1 broke a bunch of docker processes apparently and 6.12.2 fixed those but had its own issues from what I was seeing people post.

I know when subs were just reopening from the blackout, some of the ones that promoted Lemmy alternatives had some issues with the Reddit admins. Not sure if that’s still the case or not

Upper Midwest? Milwaukee here, yesterday was awful.

As Osrs said previously, there are a ton of self-hosted wiki solutions. I’m partial to WikiJS myself.

I do understand that not everyone may want to self-host a Wiki Server though, and especially if the mods aren’t also server admins it could get difficult to have matching TLDs for the Wiki and its respective community.

Sure thing!

I’ve found running/walking shoes to be the best for me personally.

Was a big fan of the Adidas boost lineup for a long time and still find them to be the most comfortable and therapeutic shows I’ve ever owned (I occasionally did 30,000+ steps in a day with them and my feet wouldn’t hurt when I took them off) but, anecdotally, it seems their durability has gone down in recent years if that’s a concern to you at all. I regularly have extremely active days for work where I’m putting in a ton of steps and also stressing shoes in odd ways (sidewalls and toes especially) so durability is a big concern for me.

I’ve recently bought a few pairs of Saucony Ride 15s and couldn’t be happier with them. Comfortable, cool, lightweight, and they seem to be lasting the hard use I’ve put on them very well. Only had one pair where a small piece of sole came unglued but a bit of Shoe-Fix-It glue (basically flexible super glue) fixed it right up and it hasn’t been an issue since.

I’m in the upper Midwest, so winter means boots most days, but that mostly follows my previous advice.

I still own a few pairs of Vans that I really like for casual but kinda nice looking shoes. Good for trivia nights and barbecues, that’s sort of thing.

Hope that helps!

Stadium was absolutely electric going into that Rowdy at-bat. It was tough seeing how hard he took that strikeout to end the 9th.

Definitely worth going to an outdoor store like REI, or even better, a local shop, to get advice on this. They can help you figure out the right kind of shoe/boot, recommend proper socks that have cushioning in the right areas, and help you try on several options to find the best match.

If you continue to have issues even after getting proper footwear, look into having some custom insoles made. I haven’t had to go that far, but I have had several pairs of boots where I needed to replace the stock insole with one from Superfeet for an increase in long-term comfort.

As someone who wore Vans daily for years then stopped when I realized they were making my knee and ankle problems worse, glad to see you’re looking at alternatives. Also not surprised you’re experiencing pain with them on the trail. They are truly not suited for that task.

For brand recommendations: Keen boots typically run a little wide, particularly in the toe box if that’s something you need. They also tend to hold up fairly well (the work boots I own front them didn’t, but few work boots of mine have held up, they get absolutely thrashed) and have solid waterproofing. I personally use Salomons now, love how lightweight they are, though they do run narrow so finding the right fit was difficult. Merrill Moabs are probably a good starting point if you don’t know what you need or want and can’t get in-person advice. There’s a reason they’ve been around as long as they have.

Again, try some on in-store and get feedback from experienced employees.

Hope this helps!

Just change to Subscribed view? As you get more users who subscribe to various other communities and instances the All feed will start to have more and more content that isn’t what you are subscribed to.

No offense, but can you post things other than fear-mongering crime reports? There’s 100% more relevant and thoughtful content out there that can actually be engaging to users like me who are interested in discussion about our town.

If I wanted to see a stream of live crime updates, there are better places for me to go look at that than on Lemmy.

We have an order in for one of each configuration (for now)! Just waiting to hear any clue about when they will start shipping!

I work just a few blocks from there and regularly have to drive around that intersection. It’ll be really nice to have all of those lanes open again!

Can confirm, I’m experiencing this too. On 0.0.1 (77)

Worse than obsidian if you try and use it like obsidian, sure. But better than obsidian at being a Notion replacement for certain tasks.

Same reason there’s dozens of closed-source note-taking and project management apps. Some have different feature sets and workflows that enable different functionality. One might be great for your specific use-case, another might not. That doesn’t mean the latter doesn’t have any merit, or that it won’t be the perfect solution for someone else who has different needs.

That’s a fair point! Hadn’t thought about it from that perspective

Ah yes, another opportunity for corporate landlords to artificially inflate housing prices while barely maintaining the property
