google dont like my solution. Everything else works :D Even the spam filter.

Its just not something I want to keep doing myself.

Our local library gives a fixed amount for publications. In exchange, everyone in my city gets access to the publications (like our local newspaper) for free as long as we have a library card.

No ads and its been widely successful for everyone involved.

Dang didnt see that! Thanks! Ill take a look.

Remember your local community is one of the most valuable resources. Get to know your neighbors, invest in your social capital.

I remember coming across post in a /r/collapse on reddit that poked fun at a lot of peoples plans. He stated he was in a war torn country and found a lot of plans revolve around personal survivorship instead of community based. And the immediate local community is the one that most people fall back on and the one that often times helps out the most.

Same, someone also added a new battery at some point so I have an awesome weeklong working device. And after rockbox, its even better.

Yeah you don’t want spicy pillows!

I’ve always thought that argument only works as long as data is free or close to free. Once it incurs a cost, I think copies end up getting removed. I think it’s fundamentally flawed to say the internet will never forget.

I’ve never heard of femtolisp.

Thanks for all the work you do! Piefed I believe has the potential to greatly expand the fediverse.

Downloading your music is best! Love Bandcamp.

It’s not perfect but https://fediverse.party/en/funkwhale/ is pretty awesome. I found some localish music and creative commons streamable music.

My suggestion which you seem to be doing is just to continue making things that are useful for yourself and others. Helped me a bunch in my early career. I could tell you so many stories …

It works with micro blogging if I recall. It also does quite a few things that work with the fediverse as a whole. You can for example see all Peertube videos on it whereas on Lemmy it’s a hit and miss.

Tell them about Peertube ;) awesome glad to hear it.

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!!

👍

I’m about 600 hours in on https://wanderinginn.com/. Just started book 8. Really enjoying the series. I still have hundreds of hours left in the series. I started reading it years ago and went to the audiobook. Feels pretty good.

Now I know how people feel like with their soap operas 😆.

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.
