  • I'd love a younger Bernie style guy to run, but he's one of a kind.

    Many of the younger progressives don't seem to have the conviction and/or authenticity it seems, though it could also be due to everyone being afraid too to run against an incumbent.

    It's really depressing to think there's no good options, and we're just voting for least awful.

  • Depending on whether it's college or NFL, and how local your team is, you could try an over the air television antenna.

    I get every NFL game I need with mine.

  • People looking for content outside of news, tech, memes and politics, do you know where to find communities?

  • Lemmy has been growing alot lately, so there's certainly reason to have optimism. It's really just a numbers game to get more niche communities here.

  • People looking for content outside of news, tech, memes and politics, do you know where to find communities?

    Jump

  • The biggest problem people run into is a lack of thier niche communities here, and that's mostly due to a lack of overall numbers. Reddit, while a festering hellhole, still has that. I'd be thrilled to see that change one day, but it's definitely gonna be a while.

  • When will all cable companies Only provide internet access?

    Jump

  • This honestly is dependent on alot of different factors, including the type of your ISP, thier national footprint, and what other lines of business they have.

    Let's first start with what type of ISP you have. The main 2 today are cable and fiber. If you have DSL/Satellite/Fixed wireless, they don't really carry cable tv as part of thier infrastructure. Anyways, Fiber has a serious edge over traditional coax cable in bandwidth. Light has a much higher bandwidth limitation, whereas copper wire is very limited in comparison. So far, cable has been able to keep up with Fiber's download speeds, and with DOCSYS 4 rolling out, hopefully they'll get closer to symmetrical uploads speeds. This will allow them more bandwidth to keep up with the fiber companies, though I suspect one day, the limits of copper coax wiring will catch up to them. Consider too, some companies like Comcast are putting in fiber to the premises in select areas, though it seems pretty limited at this point.

    Another thing to consider is thier national footprint. Larger ISPs are probably going to be the last ones to get rid of traditional cable, simply because they'll have enough customers to keep it viable longer. We're already seeing smaller ISPs drop them and bundle a streaming service instead (more on that later).

    The other factor to consider here is what other lines of business they own. One I'm thinking of in particular is Comcast. They own NBC/Universal. They've been pushing Peacock hard, though it's not really profitable yet. I suspect the day they get rid of cable is the day they require you to pay for Peacock instead, and Peacock will probably cost more so it isn't hemorrhaging money. Other ISPs are also partnering with streaming services, and it wouldn't surprise me if they start buying up streaming services too to complete with Comcast. We already saw AT&T try to buy Time Warner back in 2016.

    So, it's really anyone's guess, but the death of cable is really just going to be replaced by forced subscriptions to streaming services. When they drop the actual cable tv is largely dependent on how fast they get outpaced by Fiber internet providers.

  • 3.2-3.5 is also on a good day. It might not be as efficient when the outside temperature differences are further away from your thermostat setting inside, though if you have a geothermal setup, then you've got peak efficiency year round.

  • I like the idea on paper. This feels like what the Fediverse needs. I'll have to tinker around with it.

  • SSO and nomadic federated identities

    Jump

  • I've been wondering how to accomplish this lately. I'm looking to host a few Fediverse instances for me and my friends to use. It'd be really nice for everything I run on those to have an SSO via the main domain or a login domain.

    My idea was:

    • Lemmy.example.social
    • Mastodon.example.social
    • Pixelfed.example.social
    • Matrix.example.social

    Login via

    • accounts.example.social

    Is this possible, or in the realm of possible?

  • [Need advice] My first home server

    Jump

  • Happy to help, though might I suggest you get 4 bay version of the NAS instead of the 2 bay version (if your budget allows it). I speak from experience in this where storage space required tends to grow quicker than anything else, and you may outgrow a 2 bay NAS quickly. This is especially true if you're running any type of raid array.

    You'll also want to get a UPS to help avoid data corruption on power failures. Even if your power goes out indefinitely, doing a proper shutdown can help prevent data failure. You can see the responses I recieved asking for help on this topic here: https://lemmy.world/post/158974

    I wish you luck in this endeavor.

    You should have a general idea on what you wish to accomplish to determine which solution is better.
