Currently, Lemmy communities appear as group accounts on mastodon which boost every post or comment posted to/in a community. This is effectively useless except for extremely low traffic communities maybe.
It's not clear to me whether this is a Lemmy or Mastodon issue.
The other replies answered your question already, but this may solve your little "problem" here: Apple offers free in-person training sessions on how to use their products. They're intended precisely for non-technical people like your mother.
So, if you don't want to be the person teaching her how to use iOS, you could look into getting her to attend these sessions instead.
You can fault Apple for many things but this offer of theirs is just great on every level IMHO.
The best info you can get on "battery capacity" is what the battery controller exposes and even that's just an educated guess on its side. It's no different on macOS but at least there you have a somewhat standardised interface for this kind of information; allowing apps to access it in a generic way.
If your controller firmware doesn't expose the info to the kernel, you won't be getting it, sorry.
I doubt this is a hardware issue though. Even a battery at 80% capacity won't lose it all overnight when the device is actually in deep sleep.
With this many services each doing their own power management, I would not be surprised if it never got there. Do a bug report and analyse it using battery historian to get an idea of where the power draw comes from.
An easier test would be to simply shut all of those services down for a given time frame, measure power draw (%/h) and compare to when all of them are running. Safe mode might come in handy here as you can be sure there's no user app running in that state. If it's many % per hour in that state, there's either an issue with the OS or indeed the HW.
What sound signature and other qualities of headphones do you prefer?
Everyone has a different taste: Some like bass heavy ones, others like heavy v-shapes and others still like something more well rounded. Additionally, there are other tonal qualities such as sound stage and imaging or even non-tonal ones such as comfort or even just looks.
Most of the popular open back Sennheiser headphones are pretty much the definition of a "well rounded" sound signature and have fairly tight sound stage with precise imaging.
Certainly not a bad pick but, for myself, I've found their sound stage to not be my preference for gaming; preferring larger sound stage even at the cost of accuracy. It might be totally different for you though.
Additionally, I'd recommend you to not skip on budget headphones until you really know what you like. I started out with 30€ Superlux 668b extra-cheapo headphones that I modded with 30€ velour pads and I've only looked into replacing them now 5-6 years later. What I'm getting myself now is certainly better but not quite as much of an improvement as you might expect.
Better buy something decent but not quite very good for little money initially and then buy something more premium that is truly fit for you a few years down the line when you know your taste better.
There's also nothing wrong with buying one of the rare decent "gaming" headphones when starting out. For most people, these are more than good enough.
When I started out years ago, I would have likely been perfectly happy with the O.G. HyperX Cloud gaming headphones which would have saved me a lot of trouble with the mic in the beginning. Don't sweat open vs. closed when it comes to sound stage; it's by far not the only determinator for sound stage; there are very wide closed cans and very tight open ones (past a certain point, open is of course better though).
(I don't know whether this particular model is still this decent or whether there is a better alternative these days; I haven't kept up with the !budgetaudiophile@lemmy.world market for years.)
You can still pursue upgrades after that; then get yourself a decent stand-alone mic setup and only then would I get proper standalone cans for "big money". I'd do it in this order because because mics and, more importantly, mic interfaces are a whole other rabbit hole to get lost in.
On the amp question: You will know when you need a dedicated headphone amp. If you don't know right now, you don't need one yet. You'll likely know after you've got yourself a decent mic setup.
If your TP looks like the flag of Japan after wiping your ass, you should go see a doctor.
There are normally usable bicycles which can be folded into ~suitcase size in <20s and then be taken onto most transit as luggage. Usually quite a lot more expensive than a regular commuter bike but extremely practical.
I don't see how being home-assistant excludes it from working on your phone. The only difference is that your phone acts as the "satellite" rather than a stationary device.
How do you compose Guix projects?
There's the WIP NixOS-based SnowflakeOS that aims to make NixOS approachable for mere mortals but that's still declarative configuration and of course still NixOS under the hood.
There's a bunch of immutable distros out there that use OStree or some other imperatively managed snapshotting mechanism such as Fedora Silverblue or VanillaOS.
Why does it need to be public-facing? There may be solutions that don't require exposing it to billions of people.
Security is always about layers. The more independent layers there are, the fewer the chances someone will break through all of them. There is no one technology that will make your hosting reasonably secure, it's the combination of multiple.
You've already mentioned software ran inside an unprivileged sandbox.
