Well, the title was mostly a take from this post:

• Help designing a tiny solar system

But I guess I should have said a “PV system”? Or do you have a better name?

We’re not looking to be tied to a grid outside the community. Do you have any links to recommended resources to learn more about microgrids and/or community grids?

If it were me and I understand correctly I would probably not tie the systems together.

Well, the loads of the buildings are different, so tieing them together would be very beneficial. For example, one building is a workshop with lots of power tools and heavy machinery and some other buildings (with equal sq meter rooftops) are residential (with less energy requirements)

Can you mention this in your article?

Personally I wouldn’t run a lemmy instance because of this (and also many other concerns)

I recommend [a] letting the lemmy devs know (eg on GitHub) that this issue is preventing you from running a lemmy instance and [b] donating to alternative projects that actually care about data privacy rights.

The fines usually are a percent of revenue or millions of Euros, whichever is higher.

So if your revenue is 0 EUR then they can fine you the millions of Euros instead. The point of the “percent of revenue” alternative was for larger corporations that can get fined tens or hundreds of millions of Euros (or, as it happened to Meta, in some cases – billions of Euros for a single GDPR violation).

That would be true if their instance wasn’t federating. If the instance is federating, then it’s downloading content from other users, even if the user isn’t registered on the instance. And that content is publicly available.

So if someone discovers their content on their instance and sends them a GDPR request (eg Erasure), then they are legally required to process it.

It’s definitely not impossible to contact all instances; it’s a finite list. But we should have a tool to make this easier. Something that can take a given username or post, do a search, find out all the instances that it federated-to, get the contact for all of those instances, and then send-out a formal “GDPR Erasure Request” to all of the relevant admins.

Did you read the article and the feedback that you’ve received from your other users?

Any FOSS platform has capacity issues. I run my own FOSS projects with zero grant funds and where I’m the only developer. I understand this issue.

What we’re talking about here is prioritization. My point is that you should not prioritize “new features” when existing features are a legal, moral, and grave financial risk to your community. And this isn’t just “my priority” – it’s clearly been shown that this is the desired priority of your community.

Please prioritize your GDPR issues.

Very nice. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like Boost is available on F-Droid.

Fortunately, in my case, my image was “orphaned” and never actually attached to a post or comment, so it wouldn’t have federated.

If the image has already federated then that’s a whole next level problem :(

Unfortunately, the Lemmy devs literally said it would take years to fix this issue. If you think this should be a priority for them, please advocate for them to prioritize it on GitHub:

Hi, unfortunate author here 😅

The issue happened in Jerboa. I opened a few tickets in the Jerboa app’s GitHub to address this:

• jerboa #1361: UI for deleting uploaded files
• jerboa #1362: Setting to hide "upload media" button
• jerboa #1363: Add "confirm upload" step to UX

Can you please tell us which Lemmy client apps you use that store the delete token and have a UI to delete uploaded images?

It’s run by the folks at dys2p.

Besides running ProxyStore in Leipzig, they have published some pretty great articles:

• Random Mosaic – Detecting unauthorized physical access with beans, lentils and colored rice
• Revealing Traces in printouts and scans
• On the security of the Linux disk encryption LUKS

You can follow them on Mastodon here https://chaos.social/@dys2p

Yes BusKill works similarly – any USB drive can use the BusKill software

• https://github.com/buskill/buskill-app

The BusKill cable is just nice because it includes a magnetic breakaway, so it works when the laptop is snatched-away at any angle. There’s actually a ton of anti-forensics software like usbkill and BusKill; we enumerate them all on our documentation’s Similar Projects section

• https://docs.buskill.in/buskill-app/en/stable/attribution.html#similar-projects

You may want to check ^ it out :)

I made a video of this (demo in Windows, MacOS, Linux, TAILS, and QubesOS) with the old DIY model here (sorry for the terrible audio quality)

• https://www.buskill.in/demo-2/

We’re currently working on an updated video with someone who is much better at video production than me; it should be finished in early 2024.

You’d need magnets, pogo pins, wire, glue, solder, etc. The list of materials needed is listed in the “Materials” section of this article.
