AI data centers need RAM. HDDs are used for “the cloud”. 1 terabyte per user need to be stored somewhere.

If you want to open Edge without actually wanting to open it, just accidentally click on one of the advertisements in the main menu or any info area widget. Those ignore the default browser and always open Edge.

Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation 👍

Thank you! 2FAuth looks very promising. Especially with the Android app! I need to check out the repo and history when I’m back home, though. It seems to be a one-man show.

We should make it more clear, that it is not “Mastodon is the thing” but “ActivityPub is the thing, and Mastodon is just one of many implementations”

Aegis seems to be just an app. The thing is, that I see an app as second option for accessing the data. I’d like to have a selfhosted service that is accessible independent from a device and – for convenience – has an app, too.

This a good idea?

This sounds like a fun project that needs some customization, like styling and templating everything to make it look like a blog with federation and comments and not like a Lemmy instance.

Edit: You could also setup GoToSocial for example and set maximum character size to 5000 or so.

This will give you a place to blog and get comments. Readers need a front-end and for them it just looks like a Mastodon account, but you could use styling and template magic to convert the back-end into a nice looking blog front-end.

It’s easy to setup, host, and maintain and runs on fairly low resources.

Lemmy or Piefed? Which is easier to host

Can’t say anything about Piefed, but from what I tried quite some time ago, Lemmy is absurdly annoying to properly set up in an already existing Docker environment with an already existing reverse proxy, because it wants to basically handle everything on it’s own.

It might be actually easier to use another machine or a VM and install Docker there and let Lemmy do whatever it wants to do und just proxy from your main setup to the Lemmy setup.

I gave up.

Google decided we need to be fed more algorithm crap instead of actually useful (i.e. most recent) results.

Oh, cool. I have both installed for different reasons and discovered it by accident.

My largest issue right now is that you cannot order search results by date anymore.

You can give mpv an URL from YouTube and it will play that video.

Not-wired connections are always and without exception a workaround for devises where it is impossible or impractical to use a wired connection with.

Malicious compliance is the best form of compliance.

Sounds like you have an awesome dad!

how is a 36-year-old supposed to act?

How ever they want!

selfhost.eu offers dynamic DNS which works perfectly fine with my router, using their API access as documented by them. It also works perfectly well with Let’s Encrypt integrated in Nginx Proxy Manager.

• can handle .at domains
• is not Cloudflare
• is registrar and name server
• is European (Germany)
• supports Nginx Proxy Manager

They’re in the market since 2001, I use them since ca. 2010 and never had any issues. Their website looks ancient, almost historic. But it’s functional.

You can easily remap it to something useful.

At this point I wonder if the last few months of systematically destructing the rest of Microsoft’s reputation is a false-flag action by Linux users who infiltrated the company.

AI bro’s “won” again.

My server’s uptime is roughly the time between two kernel updates. On my desktop PC it’s mostly 4-10 hours depending on what I do during the day.

Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation! 🔍
