Dear #LazyFedi

I run a "minimal" #Debian system based on #i3wm, but I'd like my laptop to suspend or shutdown when the battery power gets too low, to avoid running the battery right to zero. What is a reasonable to do this? #upower seems like it might be part of the answer, but it seems like it is mainly glue to provide non-root users the ability to suspend etc...

Need more books to read. #lazyfedi please send suggestions. #SF or other off-kilter fiction plz.

Let's try this: Dear #lazyweb / #lazyfedi, what is the current go-to if I have to/want to write application #documentation for #endusers?
It is a #rust application, that does contain a lot of #rustdoc already, but that is very specific to the code, like api/developers doc. It is not end user stuff.

So, what to do? Own branch and something in it, that then gets rendered on a Github-or-similar page? A .md file used with #mkdocs? Using #readthedocs and their #sphinx based setup (also their examples are pretty python related).

I would like to stay as near to the code as I can. *Ideally* it would be rustdoc comments, but that can't be, as that is used for the developers doc already. "Just" a file besides, maybe in doc/ sounds better than whole new branch?

Any #suggestions?

I would like to promote my #xmpp address to a first class way of reaching me, but I don't want to impose a lot of hassle on my correspondents. Is there a guide somewhere I can point people to? I know about #quicksie, not e.g. if it works on iPhone.

#LazyFedi #Bookwyrm #Fediverse does anybody know if it's easy to extract a book-list from #Goodreads?

I'm not a heavy user of Goodreads but occasionally somebody will suggest a reading list and I'd love to import it into Bookwyrm or something similar

Anyone got handy references on air pollution caused by airports? #LazyFedi #AirPollution

Szukam narzędzia, które pozwoli mi na wyznaczenie trasy na OpenStreetMap, zaznaczenie na niej atrakcji turystycznych/ciekawostek oraz miejsc, w których można odpocząć i kupić coś do jedzenia.

Najlepiej by było, gdybym potem mógł taką mapę osadzić na swojej stronie, ale w ostateczności wystarczy możliwość linkowania do niej.

Możecie coś podpowiedzieć?

#lazyfedi somebody posted an article about "it's very easy to do _cool_ things with LLMs but very hard to productionize them well" (I paraphrase)

I should have bookmarked it -- I want to read it now -- but I didn't

did you happen to see it come by? I think it was an article by Huy Chen or Chen Huy.

I know I've seen polls that say 60%+ of USians support universal health care; abortion rights; gun control; free college... but has anyone seen those numbers all presented together? I was hoping to show to someone who maybe doesn't realize how profound the democracy problem is here. Thx! #LazyFedi

Dear #LazyFedi
I am thinking up upgrading an aging dedicated server I rent from OVH. I'm currently paying CAD26 a month, but I'm willing to spend a bit more to get an IPv6 /64 and more than 8G RAM. I need at least 1T of disk space (currently using about 600G) so I think a dedicated server still makes sense. I guess I could move the bulk of my storage to rsync.net since they apparently support git-annex, but I'm already using them for backups, so its a bit too many eggs too few baskets. There is also some comfort in self-hosting that unencrypted storage. Generally I like Hetzner customer service more than OVH, but the cheapest Hetzner offering seems about twice as expensive as my current. I guess I also like having the server hosted in Canada, but I don't think that's a deal breaker. What other options should I be thinking about?

#lazyfedi Can anyone point me to prior art or research on privacy-preserving search indices such that the index doesn't even necessarily know what it contains?

Here's a question for you, #LazyFedi: I have two appliances, each of which draws 15A, that need to plug into one outlet, but are never turned on at the same time. I'm tiring of swapping which one is plugged in every time I use them. I know it'd be unsafe to use a regular wall tap (since someone could turn them both on and try to draw 30A); is there something that has one plug, two sockets, and a switch/relay between them? My google-fu is failing me.

I guess I should get out of bed and make a start on this #NewYear

#lazyfedi: what mapping tools and services can you recommend for community mapping? ideally, the participants should not need to register or acquire any special training to be able to contribute. thank you

#LazyFedi I'm remembering a blog post / thread about #contracting issues when a vendor is hired to do work and a similar vendor is hired to review that work. Since vendors are involved in the same projects, so there's no incentive for the reviewing vendor to be strict: they're getting reviewed on another project too.

Does this ring a bell for anyone else?

I could be a professional procrastinator, but I haven't gotten around to submitting the application. #procrastination #lazyfedi

Is it possible for anyone else to install/update apps from flathub right now? For me it isn't, but I can't find anyone else complaining about it (I checked the discourse and github).

Should I choose rsync.net hosting in USA or Switzerland? At some point in my life I was determined to locate all of my servers outside the USA, but maybe is just privacy theater. Backups will be encrypted, probably initially with duplicity, because that is what I know. #LazyFedi

Anyone have any recommendations for building a resource-oriented REST API in Python (preferably) or JS?

I'm not looking for something like Flask or FastAPI to build a REST-like API, I'm looking for actual REST - you know, where you do a `GET HTTP/1.1 /` and you get a list of links to valid sub-resources, and follow the links from there.

OK hey #lazyfedi is there a stylesheet that will take an HTML file and present it as though it is were a D&D character sheet?

I'm thinking of CSS that you could apply to an appropriately marked up document. I am happy to generate the structured info but need a hand with styling
