Yes with ActivityPub there's always failed federation. But Lemmy will send the delete request out when you delete your account. Other software or instances might not honour it, but the intent is there.

As opposed to reddit who do not remove comments when an account is deleted, only mark it as a comment from a deleted account.

I'm not against Lemmy's implementation, but it does require you to collect information you need at the time not assume it will always be there.

You didn't know it existed? Your account is here at lemmy.nz, it would show any posts in the local feed so you might still see them.

Bookmarks won't help if the content gets removed. You've got to copy the important information elsewhere.

I tend to use either a note app (Joplin) or a self-hosted wiki for that.

Ah nice! It's only a month old but looks really good. It has a warning not to run it in production and not to trust it with your data but I'm definitely going to have a play.

Are you literally just wanting to see the location of family members?

If you're a self-hoster there are options, and that's pretty much the only way you can know it's private.

Two that come to mind are:

The PhoneTrack NextCloud app. If you run Nextcloud you can install this in nextcloud, then install a location logger on the phones. I'm more familiar with Android which has options but from a search I think OwnTracks can send to Nextcloud and supports iOS and Android (someone reported their iOS success here).

Home Assistant let's you see locations of people on a map that is tracked with the Home Assistant mobile app on Android/iOS.

I have found uLogger or the old PhoneTrack app (that connect to GPS on a schedule) to be more accurate than apps that rely on Google telling them when the location has changed (Home Assistant and I think Owntracks). But also much more of a battery drain.

So it depends how often you want the location to be updated. I find running uLogger or PhoneTrack on the phone actually makes Home Assistant get location updates much quicker(I run both for different reasons).

We try to keep politics in a separate community, it was by request of the community as not everyone wants to see politics and also it can quickly take over the community since there is so much politically happening at the moment.

If it's directly about the government (a government department, government decision, or a member of the parliament such as this Justice Minister, then it should go in !politics@lemmy.nz

Thanks for understanding 🙂

Deleting your account deletes your content, unlike deleting your Reddit account. Hence the linkrot.

I learnt pretty early on that saving posts using the save button was not a good way to save the information 😮‍💨

Can you please put politics posts in !politics@lemmy.nz?

I've messaged you a couple of times over the last week or so but you don't seem to have seen this.

IONOS are a cloud hosting provider, so isn't this just Nextcloud (who make the software) and IONOS (who provide hosting) joining up to create an off the shelf replacement for OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc?

If you're self-hosting Nextcloud AIO it doesn't sound like this is a replacement.

So, the good thing is, your emails are showing up and not disappearing into the ether like Microsoft.

We had this at work. B2B emails, going from paid Exchange customer to paid Exchange customer. Emails just disappeared without even showing up in junk. Sending email logs showed the email was accepted.

Yeah it does seem to imply they were already here when the article says otherwise. But I wonder if they meant that their ancestors were previously part of the ecosystem so they aren't as disruptive as we might assume (unlike, say, possums, that devastate forests in a way not seen in Australia).

Yeah fair enough. Well you'll get good stories anyway!

😮

Why did you pick winter for your holiday, anyway?

Huh. Here in NZ tea, (instant) coffee, milk (and usually Milo as well) are virtually always provided by an employer (only by social convention, as far as I can tell, not a legal requirement). I kinda assumed Britain would be the same since we must have got the custom from somewhere.

I've heard social media where you interact with strangers instead of "friends" referred to as "antisocial media".

Well Wikipedia says:

Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured or fresh leaves of Camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to East Asia which probably originated in the borderlands of south-western China and northern Myanmar.[3][4][5] Tea is also made, but rarely, from the leaves of Camellia taliensis.

As in, to be considered "tea", it has to be made from the tea plant.

However, it goes on to say:

The term herbal tea refers to drinks not made from Camellia sinensis. They are the infusions of fruit, leaves, or other plant parts, such as steeps of rosehip, chamomile, or rooibos.

I think you know where I'm going with this. Coffee is made from the seeds of the coffee plant (technically the coffea plant). Seeds are "other plant parts". Coffee might not be "tea" but it very clearly is "herbal tea" 😀

Ah interesting!

I never would have considered them snails. But I guess they kind of are. Are all shellfish considered snails 🤔

I'm not much of a tea drinker. Not peppermint or english breakfast or green tea. I don't know why. Though I think peppermint is probably the one I'm most likely to warm up to (pun intended 😋).

If there's peppermint tea and camomile tea, etc. Then why isn't coffee a kind of tea? 😆

Good job! Must be hard to do in the middle of winter. Sometimes I have a coffee because I want a hot drink, not because I need caffeine.
