Like Lemmy or any social media really, you get out what you put in. If you just follow the generic feed without following anyone, yeah it’s going to suck.
You can make lists, so one for your friends, one for news, one for a hobby. Or you can filter hash tags to really narrow in on a topic. People also make “starter packs” of who to follow for any topic you can think of.
This format is also unbeatable for breaking events.
I don’t do anything too sophisticated, just something like:
Scan this image of a recipe and format it as JSON that conforms to the schema defined at https://schema.org/Recipe.
Sometimes it puts placeholders in that aren’t valid JSON, so I don’t have it fully automated… But it’s good enough for my needs.
I’ve thought that the various Nextcloud cookbook apps should do this for sites that don’t have the recipe object… But I don’t feel motivated to implement this myself.
I take pictures of my recipe books and ask ChatGPT to scan and convert them to the schema.org recipe format so I can import them into my Nextcloud cookbook.
I think we’re about 8ft? I’ve heard there’s no minimum really. Basically you don’t want to have to physically turn your head to see either side… But beyond that the closer you are the better you see the picture.
Aiui the distance thing was more back in the day where if you sat too close you’d notice pixels. But with modern resolutions that’s not a problem anymore.
I’m currently using Unraid for pretty much every thing you listed, and I love it so much. I really appreciate being able to set up almost everything through the web interface. It makes my hobbies feel fun rather than just an extension of my day job.
That said, I bought the licence before they switched to a subscription model. So if I were starting over I might look into free alternatives.
Lots of people mentioning collaboration / multiple users, yet all your replies seem to completely ignore this aspect. I’m guessing you might live alone and are struggling to imagine some very common use cases here.
