To me, the Mastodon software that runs on a server is an ActivityPub client. The "API" I as a user use to use it is the web frontend it provides. Maybe we could call the Mastodon server software an "ActivitPub node" to m

I was not so much talking about the admin panel. My question is rather if the codebase has a template directory, where one could change the templates. And if the template format will stay stable, so that custom templates won't break in

I don't understand how something can be a frontent for Mastodon. Mastodon is an ActivityPub client. If you write a new application from scratch that also uses the ActivityPub protocol, like Pinafore, it is not a frontend for Mastodon.

Super cool, thanks!

Monthly active users seems to be reported: https://mastodon.social/nodeinfo/2.0

I'm not sure how to read your comment. "there are quite a few frontend compatible with Mastodon API"? Isn't the Mastodon API the ActivityPub API? Of course one could write a new ActivityPub application from scratch. But

I wish this had a "monthly users" column. It still has joindiaspora.com at #4 which is not even active anymore.

Does Mastodon have themes? I tried a few instances and none of the UIs clicked with me very much. With themes, I not only mean custom colors and fonts. I mean custom templates, so I can rearrange the position of elements and leave out some

How is my post rude?

Try `cat /sys/power/mem_sleep` to see what states you have available. What does it output for you?

by Timja 4y ago
Yes, if everybody would run their own instance, that would make it decentralized. But that is not going to happen. We need a protocol that allows ownership of your social graph without having to host your own server.

The problem with Mastodon is that it solves nothing. You are at the mercy of whoever runs the instance you join. What we need is a protocol. Maybe the upcoming NOSTR is a good approach: https://github.com/nostr-protocol&#x2F

It says 3 users on the front page, but then it shows nothing here: https://indiehackers.social/explore

Nice, the T14s also looks good. Does it support S3 sleep state? One downside I see is that it seems to be 130g heavier than the X1 Carbon series.

Tried the dim thing. Suuuper annoying. When I switch from a fullscreen Firefox to a tiny terminal and the whole screen dims down. Also it makes it hard to work with multiple windows, because some of them are dimmed then.

If this works already, why did the author of this article write new code for it?

Yeah, only s2 here. Would switching to an AMD laptop fix it? Strange, that KDE still writes "Suspend to RAM" under the "Sleept" button when it cannot do that.

Would superglue also work?

The lower I set scaling_max_freq, the lower is the noise. The lowest I can set it to seems to be 40000. I can still hear noise, depending on what the laptop does. As simple command to create noise is: while true; do echo -n $RANDOM; d

Epoxy? I have read that opening the laptop and putting superglue on the right parts might reduce the noise.

Which generation of the X1 Carbon?

by Timja 4y ago
A little update: This makes the noise even louder: echo performance | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]*/cpufreq/scaling_governor This brings it back to the original, already too annoying, leve

Crazy. I have my laptop in "Suspend to Ram" all the time when I don't use it. And I don't want it to be able to wake up from this or do anything unless I press a button.

by Timja 4y ago
What? This is disastrous! How do I check (from Linux) if the laptop can go into suspend to memory or not?
57.
by Timja 4y ago
You mean "Disable CPU Power Management in BIOS"? I tried that. Not sure if it made any change at all. The noise is still too much to make the laptop useful. Strangely, putting the laptop under load makes the coil whine go away. So

Which model of XPS 13? There have been so many different ones over the years. And what is real sleep mode? Suspend to disk?

by Timja 4y ago
Mine is Gen9. I could go for Gen10, but that would be a good bit more expensive, and I don't need the additional performance. I think I'd rather go for a Dell XPS then, which would be like one third of the price. It is not Linux r

Unfortunatley, the E series is way too heavy for my liking. At over 3.5 pounds, they are 50% more heavy than the X1.
