overview for JASN

Overall it was fine, took a moment to find the proper Traefik settings, but after that it ran basically fine. It's just too "unstable" for me at the moment from a development standpoint, moving too rapidly. Maybe I'll do another one once it has matured and slowed down a bit.

That would have been plan C, yes. But it's not a proper solution, it's a hacky workaround which puts unneccessary load on the federating instances.

I did. Unsubscribed, then purged from the local DB. I'll work through the logs, see what the other instances are trying to push.

While it was an interesting and sometimes confusing experience setting up and running my own Lemmy instance (looking at you, 20 character limit on federation URL), I think it's not worth it.

Now the time has come to decommission the service, is there a proper way to do that? I don't mean the local part, that's on docker and gone with 3 lines of bash input. I mean the overall process. How do I tell other instances that mine won't be available any longer? I noticed a constant stream of federation pushes, even with everything deleted and purged. Shutting down the instance won't help either, the requests will simply 404 then, but won't stop, which in itself is only logical. Has anyone done this before and could shed some light on this situation?

Edit: So I played around with the logs some more, there seemed to be an issue with communities that are on "subscription pending". I restored an older database which had all the entries, removed any federation restrictions and tried again from scratch, leaving and joining again until all communities were properly subscribed to.

Then:

Unsubscribe
Remove
Purge

Just to be sure the entries are gone. As of 15 minutes ago, Traefik hasn't logged a single connection to my instance.

Edit2:

Turns out that wasn't it. My instance is on 0.17.4, and even with every community unsubscribed and purged, I'm being hammered by lemmy.world activity_pub events. The formatting is also different, I think that's because they moved to the 0.18 RC stage. So it looks like something somewhere didn't get the unsubscribe announcement.

Edit 3:

So I tried moving to 0.18-RC. Which now means lemmy.world is trying to push the inbox to the frontend? WTH...

The only manned submersible that could reach the missing Titan is owned by Steam's Gabe Newell by JASN_DE in c/world@lemmy.world

But the real question is: is it steered by a Steam Controller?

Looking for temp/humidity sensors that can be wall-powered (feddit.de)

After running HA for 2 years and tinkering with the stuff I already had, it was time to extend the little machine via Zigbee. I got an Aqara Temp/Humidity/Pressure sensor, which in itself works fine. It just chewed through 30% of battery in 4 days. Now that might be an issue with placement and signal strength (basement through 2 floors), but it doesn't bode well unless it "levels out" at some point.

Which brings me to my actual question: does anyone know any such sensors that are wall-powered in any way? Something that can be plugged in and "forgotten" about?
