  • If it was a certificate issue I’d expect youd just get an error from your browser saying the cert is invalid or expired.

    If I had to guess though you’re running into a nat reflection issue: https://nordvpn.com/cybersecurity/glossary/nat-loopback/

    Read up on that. But you may need to provide different DNS entries if you’re inside or outside your LAN or add a NAT hairpin rule to your router. But this is only applicable if you’re exposing the same service to the WWW.

    Some other things to try though:

    • Have you tried just pinging the address? Is the DNS resolution returning the address you expect?
    • Whats in your nginx logs? Do you see anything when you try and connect?
    • Within your nginx container can you ping your service directly? Is something blocking nginx from accessing the site?


  • Can you share the Home Assistant automation / setup that you have for Uptime Kuma notifications? As I’m in the same boat as you. I just got a webhook setup but I’m getting flooded with notifications, especially after services update.

    My hope is I just want to be notified when a particular service is down for say 5 minutes but all I care about is knowing the node name. I don’t necessarily care to get notified if the service comes back up.


  • Deflation just doesn’t happen in a bubble though.

    From my understanding the primary lever that can be pulled for this is the Fed interest rate. With a high interest rates you’re trying to decrease the amount of money institutions spend and rather increase the amount that they invest/save. As it becomes easier to make money by buying bonds than by reinvesting into your business. This in effect removes money from the economy.

    The problem here is this means businesses also spend less on salaries, thus triggering layoffs. This then also has a downward pressure on inflation as the working class ends of being layed off as unemployment rises. This puts more and more pressure on businesses to cut costs as more and more people have less disposable income to spend.

    This is the downward spiral that’s being referred to here.

    In effect you can’t create defationary policies without causing high unemployment, at least in a capitalist society.

    Take a look at the history of the Great Depression and the New Deal that helped the U.S. get out of it. Effectively the government had to create jobs to stimulate the economy as businesses couldn’t or wouldn’t shoulder that cost but the government could. As disposable income rose, so did spending and in turn inflation turned positive again as unemployment fell.

    Missing features are fine. Even then, and maybe it’s just me, but Push Notifications + User Highlight/Tagging doesn’t seem like $2 worth of value to me. Just trying to call out that the current value-to-cost ratio seems off. And sure there are other features and maybe other users will get $2 worth of value out of those, but in my opinion that’s why I won’t be buying a subscription, even if I want to support the developer.

    Totally understand that. And personally, $20 to remove ads forever, seems reasonable. But the other features under Ultra currently don’t add up to the price tag for those features at the moment.

    None of the current Ultra features really stand out to me except tagging/highlighting users. Push Notifications will be a game changer but they aren’t in the app yet.

    First I want to preface that I actually never used Sync for Reddit, I always used RIF but I wanted to give Sync for Lemmy a shot and see what it was all about.

    A few things from my perspective:

    1. So I’m using the combined BottomNavigation style, but finding settings or other options doesn’t seem all that intuitive. Some of the things, like how to switch from Everything to Subscribed for my feed, I found by accident. Where to buy the Ad removal was also rather hidden, etc…
    2. The elephant in the room… Pricing… as a developer myself I get needing to make enough money to sustain your projects, and I get that there’s a lot less users on Lemmy than Reddit, but the prices for the subscriptions just seem outrageous. The problem as I see it, is that there’s already a healthy competition for Lemmy Apps out there today and most are completely free and have no ads as-is. Some may even be operating in the red, but still $2/mo, $17/yr, $100/lifetime still seems a bit much for essentially:
    • No Ads (I’ve got a PiHole, so honestly I don’t see any ads at the moment anyway)
    • Cloud Backup – backup of what? My login? My app settings? The former seems concerning, the later I don’t see much value as I only have a single Phone. If I get a new phone, sure it might save me a few minutes re setting it back up. There’s not that many settings at the moment that needed customizing. And adding too many makes the app too confusing.
    • Highlight / Tag users – Ok this seems interesting but not quite worth $2/mo IMO.
    • Translate text – I can do this in the web app already just by highlighting a comment. But to be critical here, /most/ of the content is already in English, and I don’t subscribe to any foreign language communities at the moment, so this at least doesn’t have any value to me.
    • Select text from image – Ok, another interesting feature but still not quite at $2/mo
    • Push notifications (coming soon) – I’m really wondering how this is going to work personally, but this is a much needed feature, at least just for private messages. Probably the feature I’m most excited about.
    • Import / export subscriptions – This honestly needs to be built into Lemmy itself, but there’s also a handful of user scripts and other tools other developers have already written that can do this.

    Keep in mind I don’t have a frame of reference for what the prices were in Sync for Reddit, but cut the prices to about a 1/3rd or 1/4th of what they are now and they seem to be more inline with the value that the app provides over the other apps.

    1. The privacy policy. It’s a lot longer than I’d hope for a Lemmy app. I’m assuming most of the data being collected is for advertising, but it’s still concerning to me.

    I don’t mean to sounds critical in all of this. The app is probably one of the smoothest and best looking out there so far, but the value to money ratio just isn’t there.




  • Playing devil’s advocate for a bit… So these are just cross-posts. Which existed even on Reddit. …I assume they weren’t handled in any way in Sync or Reddit?

    But let’s say this is fixed… What to do about the multiple comments threads? How would you reconcile them with each other? Especially since the user can choose different ways to sort the comments as well. Would all of this logic normally handled by the Lemmy back-end now need to run on your phone? Also how do you choose which post / instance to actually display and which ones to hide?

    Btw, I’m not trying to dismiss the idea. Just want to call out some of the technical problems that might come up trying to implement such a feature. As well as ask questions to try and determine exactly how such a feature is expected to work.



  • So the builder pattern is supposed to solve the problem of: if you have a large number of optional fields that may or may not need to be set to construct your object. Then once the dev has called all of the setters that they require, they call build to fully realize that object.

    Some rules that all builders should follow:

    • All setters SHOULD represent optional parameters. (Or ones that have a default value). If a parameter is required for all instances, include it in the constructor of the Builder itself.
    • All setters SHOULD return a copy of the Builder. This way you can chain calls off of each other.
    • Setters SHOULD do nothing more than store the provided value in a field local to the builder itself and then return itself (or a copy of itself).
    • You MUST expose a .build() method that will return the fully realized object. This method should essentially call the constructor for your target object using all of the parameters, regardless if a setter was called or not. Obviously any value where the setter wasn’t called will be null or some default value.

  • Yes but what if you search and find a post that doesn’t exist on your home instance? You’d be taken to a 404 page and can’t do anything.

    But I’ve got an issue on GitHub for this. And just raised a PR on Lemmy to support the changes I need for this. But a reminder, once you can search all instances you may encounter 404s opening the posts that you find.
