Can lemmy be used as a blog (with comment section)?
  • There was a guy on GitHub that added a Lemmy comment section to his blog hosted on his website. So it's already an accepted although niche usecase.

    I feel like a single user instance of Pleroma would be more appropriate (and easier to host) but even though the character limit can be increased the remote limit of other instances might reduce your visibility, I am not sure.

  • Making a USB desk fan from spare CPU fan
  • That's not what I was saying, PD included 12v up to 2.0 (I am going from memory) so it's not multi standard support but retrocompatibility from modern PD to the older version

    Edit: I checked and the requirement was removed from rev 1 to rev 2 so now it's optional

  • Making a USB desk fan from spare CPU fan
  • 12v is not mandatory in the latest PD standard but it is still allowed and many PSUs implement it. I got a few inexpensive USB C connectors wich negotiate 12V out of compatible blocks specifically to convert to PD 12v devices like my shaver.

  • how does my "neighbor" hear my private telephone conversations.
  • Go by elimination, the first thing I would do is reset the phone and don't pair it to any bluetooth device. Also change the WiFi password and the router admin password with strong randomly generated passwords.

    Then keep going as usual and see if something changes.

    When you said you used a bug detector, was it a radio frequency analizer? Did you check while doing a phone call, a bug that is not transmitting wouldn't be detected.

    Do the people you talk with or someone living with them know your neighbour? Maybe the leak is on the other end.

    If the houses share an air conditioning system maybe try closing off the vents.

    I know you are sure of your experiences but have you checked your physical and mental health? A few mental conditions could make coincidences turn into paranoia, but even a few simple physical conditions like carbon monoxide poisoning and maybe even vitamin deficiency could loosen your grip on reality . Has someone else witnessed first hand these events?

  • Excited by the good news? If you haven't yet bought Ultra Lifetime, nows the time to do it
  • Sync has always meant Sync for reddit so I would interpret the lifetime Sync Ultra subscription as the lifetime of the project which is indeed shutting down. The new app will probably have similar monetization and may grandfather in the subscriber of the old program but I would not consider it obvious. The fact that there are no direct donations options changes my perspective and I agree with you that in that case it would be a good way to show support. I think I will wait and buy the new app as soon as it is out, this way I will still contribute financially, I will boost sales and so visibility of the new project and I will not have to worry about having the perks from the old subscription hereditated to the new one. If Sync for Lemmy takes off it could be interesting to set up an official instance with associated something like liberapay for donations, but right now I wouldn't take the focus away from the Android client.

  • Weird cable with USB A connector with 5 pins
  • Type C 2.0 exists and is widespread and that is what I wanted, the issue is that it doesn't work as a 2.0 cable either. I like the liquid silicone exterior and I have a few connectors ready so if I like what's inside I may upgrade it. Otherwise I will recycle it and I already have better cables.

  • Weird cable with USB A connector with 5 pins
  • I only need a USB 2.0 cable mostly for charging, I have better cables, I chose this one for the liquid silicone outer layer. Of course if the wires inside are less than four or too thin I won't waste USB connectors (that I already have, I would not order them for this) and I will recycle it.

  • Weird cable with USB A connector with 5 pins

    Hello, I recently bought a USB A to C cable and it is pretty weird. It is a USB A to USB C cable, seemingly USB 2.0 but the A connector has 5 pins, the 4 pins of USB 2 and what looks like pin 7 of USB 3.0 so in the middle of the back row, the other pins of USB 3.0 are not there and the plasting moulding only allows for that one pin (moreover the USB type C end looks like it only has the few middle pins so it's probably 2.0). The weirdness continues because when connected to a USB power supply the led on the USB C connector lights up but it can only charge simple devices like flashlights or things that generally just accept 5V, anything with fast charging capabilities gets no output. I am probably going to test it with breakout boards and eventually even disassembly it and maybe replace the connectors but in the meantime does anyone have any explanation?

    P.S. I will make a follow up post (or an update here) when I open it up, with photos of course.
