6a is pretty good and will be supported for a bit. Wish they were more repairable though…

It’s been my daily driver for years now. The two computers os have literally never failed, no software issues other than some bugs I myself introduced.

Nice!

FreshRSS is nice. You can hook into any client you want on android/ios/etc… or use theirs. Reminds me of google reader and some others. This is what it looks like:

I have mine selfhosted. Pretty easy on yunohost, docker, or other sites. Looks like they have a couple of servers out there if you dont want to self host: https://freshrss.org/cloud-providers.html

Imagine getting a job like this and now half the nation knows your name…thats terrifying. being an intern may mean you have no idea of the true scope of what they are asking you to do.

I’ve always liked riscv. Just the idea of literally everything on the device being open source is a fun idea. Manuals to everything.

With Linux any old computer from yesteryear can become a quick server. That’s what I do, just make sure you got backups.

I can see that!

I dont :) Mostly.

Honestly I have an auto backup system. And then set it up to auto update periodically. Then use Debian Server as it almost never breaks as a server distro.

Woops I always get those mixed up in my head. Which is silly.

I need to find time and look at all the amazing zines that are out there. ctrl-zine looks fun.

Nice gopher site! I recently(?)made one as well. Its kinda fun and easy to do. That CSS is awesome!

Cool. Is there anything like this on android? Or desktop?

That sounds like a hilarious idea. GL!

No joke my neighbor has chickens. This is how I feel haha

Reminds me of the Bitcoin mining and how askii miners overtook graphic card mining practically overnight. It would not surprise me if this goes the same way.

Nice!!

Man I would love that contact :)

I’m personally going to keep my old Casio running til the end of time. But I hope the new watches are repairable, cause I don’t fully trust Google (but rebbel is solid).

I have a similar setup with around 5 federated services (Lemmy/bookwyrm/mastodon(GoToSocial)/pixelfed/Peertube/etc… and it works well. The slowest component is the internet connection by far. Yunohost makes it easy but a couple of the more niche services are on docker. All self hosted on an old PC and a pi.

Just a note, these are all less than 5 users and my setup is not designed for anything more than the family. Also of all the services, Mastodon base install was by far the most resource intensive of all of them. It’s definitely made for more than 100+ users and quite quickly used up all my hard drive. Their caching system needs some work if I’m honest. After self hosting for about half a year, I went with GoToSocial, which saved me 100s of gigabytes. It’s no faster or slower but the same clients work with it. It’s basically designed for less than 10 users which is nice. No issues after about a year.

Same. I bought one of those ifixit kits and tried to repair mine, but it turns out the wires are very small and I couldnt get everything hooked back in.

Yep it would have been best if federal government were to be the ones because they can work across arbitrary state lines for collab. But something is better than nothing.
