I think Reddit's CEO is making a fool out of himself by how he's managing this situation. I think however that the solution is very simple and straightforward.

Let's start: I can understand that Reddit has costs to operate the platform. I also get that they don't want big companies to abuse the API to train ML models and profit of it. Fair game!

But why not offer a generous free tier for regular users? Say, every user gets 500 free API calls per day. Regular users stay within the free tier, while big companies can't do anything meaningful with only 500 calls per day (so they end up paying money).

Seems pretty straightforward to me. Everyone happy! Many other companies offer generous free-tiers for exactly this reason. Am I missing something?

That's a good point. I opened an issue on Github to propose such a limit: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3452

Hypothetically, how much would you pay for an NFT of someone else's kids? I might get crypto rich after all!

Thank you for the nice message! I don't have any plans to sell these though. Have enough on my hands with 2 kids ;)

You can buy pre-made readers from Adenno: https://adonno.com/tagreader/ He uses the smaller NFC reader that I want to use in the future.

He’s destroying his company (and a great website) for no good reason. Then again, I did lead me to discover Lemmy. Not the same yet, but it’s growing on me!

Hadn't considered using NFC tags to have my kids control other things in the house. Interesting idea!

Amazing to see how fast this app progresses. Keep up the good work! Also a small request: could you add automatic dark/light mode switching based on system systems?

The Plex deep links will automatically resume. TV shows are tricky. For that, I use the Plex integration of Home Assistant to play a random episode. It's supposed to be super powerful, but I haven't got it to work reliably yet (which is why I didn't focus on TV Shows in the blog post).

Woops, yes! Link to the blog post with how-to: https://simplyexplained.com/blog/how-i-built-an-nfc-movie-library-for-my-kids/ Updated now.

Check the updated post. It's running on a dedicated server hosted by Hetzner. Specs are high-end: "AMD EPYC 7502P 32 Cores “Rome” CPU and 128GB RAM."

Thank you! Finally managed to quit vim!

It's definitely level. Guess it's the perspective + the fact that it's a curved TV.

Oops, posted too quickly. Here it is: https://simplyexplained.com/blog/how-i-built-an-nfc-movie-library-for-my-kids/

Love these ideas! Might make a V2!

From my experience, the electricity consumption of e-bikes is low. We have a Babboe cargo bike and we drive 5km every day. I measure the electricity consumption of the charger, and it comes down to 0.5-1kWh per month. I assume regular e-bikes have an even lower consumption.

These posts are really useful to get a grasp of ActivityPub (if you have a programming background): https://rknight.me/building-an-activitypub-server/ https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-basic-activitypub-server/

And of course the official spec (although its less useful): https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

Amazing blog post! Been reading the ActivityPub spec and found it rather lacking. It’s only when you add WebFinger and signed messages that things start to make sense.

I live in a small town in Belgium and we have a saying that says: "there's no bad weather, only bad clothing". Granted, the weather here is mild. Doesn't get too cold, not too hot (except for this week). We do get a lot of rain though, but nothing that a pair of rain trousers and coat can't handle ;) Biking infrastructure is something else though... It's far from perfect over here.
