linuxusers.in is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Curious what others think:
Miniflux has an option to share a link to an article in my feed. Instead of linking to the source, it links to a special URL that's public to my reader. Other RSS readers, like TinyTiny RSS do something similar.
It feels a little like hijacking a page view...? I'm not commenting or adding a note, it's really just a view of the article through my portal. Is there a norm for this kind of link sharing?
Substack or Beehiv?
No money, don't expect high readership, plan to move to a proper website if project sustains for more than 6 months.
Would have used Buttondown but want to be able to integrate other elements as it will be multimedia project.
Will be starting with writing only tho.
Please #Boost and help a friend 🙏
I could use some ideas on what the next #webdev project should be. These are first year students who have done HTML and CSS since August and have been building some apps recently using JS:
- Product search page (filtering arrays, manipulating the DOM
- Rock/paper/scissors (randomness, conditionals)
- Basic fetch app (using APIs, reading docs, DOM updates)
- More complex fetch (query params, saving to localStorage)
Need a next project they can tackle more independently.
Some colleagues and I are working on some lab procedures for high schoolers on the topic of climate change. In particular, comparing methane vs CO2 as greenhouse gases.
I was going to have an advanced class prep CH4 with sodium acetate + soda lime, but I don't have CaO. Can MgO be replaced for that preparation?
Boosts appreciated, thanks in advance.
Thoughts on and ways to make notes while reading /listening to a podcast
Especially for those with adhd
My codeberg pages site is down very frequently. Does anyone have recommendations for where else I could go for web hosting? I don't need much, it's just a simple static site, that's all.

Gonna do a poll because why not.
If you're a #webdev or webdev #teacher, I need input on what to do next with a first year web development class.
We're working on JS. Just finishing up a simple rock/paper/scissors game to learn about conditionals and flow control & more DOM practice, etc. I need a next project that will push them a little and add some new concepts.
Thanks in advance, boosts appreciated.

#Chemistry fediverse, looking for some help:
I have a spreadsheet with rate data from testing a new lab [1]. The iodate showed a nice 2nd order result, but the bisulfite is throwing me off.
HSO3- is confusing me. Warm had wide variations, cold did better. I didn't think temp would change the rate order, but I'm not sure what to do with it. Calculated cold ~ [HSO3-]^2, calculated hot ~ [HSO3-]^3.5.
My math works, but feeling stuck on why.

Does anyone have an iodine clock reaction procedure they like for AP/IB chemistry?
I've looked at a dozen or so that are a little too advanced. I'd rather not retype one if I can avoid it.
I had my #chemistry students do an enthalpy of solution lab today that had some _weird_ results - like, way off.
Our calculated dH for MgSO4 was -2.56 kJ/mol compared to the known -91.2 kJ/mol.
The bottle was anhydrous, but my guess is that the age of the bottle had some hydrate mixed in with it which reduced the energy change significantly? I'm at a loss for this one.
Any other ideas?
I'm getting the distinct feeling that my preferred #SimpleNote client, sncli has been abandoned.
That is very not good for me. I must seek to find a replacement for Simplenote that has a solid TUI/CLI, and cross-platform support.
I do not know of any others.
#AskFedi, any tips? I can always just sync plain .md notes with syncthing, but that has a couple pain points: phone battery life, and the loss of the ability to easily share a note with someone else collaboratively
Update: issue solved / question answered thanks to ✨ the magic of the #Fediverse ✨

#AskFedi: is there a hashtag on here about technical questions that a newbie could ask – without judgement?
Because I have SO MANY QUESTIONS (especially since I started my #selfhosting journey), I cannot find the right answers through online searches and I'm certain Fedi people could offer good advice... I'm just too embarrassed to ask most of the time.
I wish there was a "hire a nice, trusted dev for 30 minutes" service, LOL 😅
If you can even attempt to pare down a favourite or three release, track, or artist you heard or discovered on RFF this year, let's hear it! Totally cool if you can't declare a fav, just share something awesome you loved from the RFF contributing artists: music, writing, spoken word, live event, all good.
Give us an one liner why it resonated.
Bonus for tagging the artists as a nice motivational boost!

I've realized that I don't know what "good character development" means in novels. So, I'm looking for suggestions for novels which offer good character development.
Any and all genres, boosts appreciated.
#AskFedi: are there any #Sharkey power users out there, willing to speak to me for a piece I’m writing about the software?
Spoiler alert: I have been using #Sharkey for two months now and I am totally smitten with it, especially its gorgeous UX/UI.
Bonus points if you also use / are familiar with #MissKey, so we could compare/contrast features.
Boosts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🙏
I need to get my wife a new phone. Her old iPhone 6S has finished it's second battery and is not receiving updates anymore and now apps are starting to not even work on it. I hate to give up on it because I can replace a battery and it still works, but the iOS update makes it not worth the effort..
What's the next iPhone version still getting updates that isn't the size of an aircraft carrier?
Chemistry teachers of the fediverse - how do you produce or procure distilled water?
We have a countertop still that I run for about a week each month to top off a carboy. I'm sparing when washing dishes because of this, so I have stray ions.
Does anyone have a plumbed-in still they like? We may be able to upgrade next year and I'm looking for recs.
I'm trying to revive a piece of lab equipment. It has a 250V glass line fuse that blows when switched on.
The sticker says it runs 200W, 120V, and 2.5 amps. Is this either because the fuse is too small for the power use or an indicator that there's a short somewhere in the controls?
I'm asking a lot these days, but another #webdev question for the masses:
My HS web dev class is ready for a Javascript intro. I'm torn between:
- teaching the DOM and scaffolding off their HTML and CSS experience, or
- starting from the basics with variables, loops, and conditionals and work up to DOM interaction.
Any thoughts on pros/cons of each? Thanks in advance and feel free to boost for reach.
