Seems to be back up. If something’s down, I usually throw it into Down for Everyone or Just Me, or just wait for a day. Stuff goes down sometimes

Every 1-2 weeks, depends on how often I remember

I’ve used PeerTube for streaming personally, it works well. I haven’t used OwnCast, but I’ve been on OwnCast streams, and it also seems to work well. PT also has the benefit of being fedi, but that’s only if you want it, OwnCast just has a central website it posts all of the streams to I think? At least all of them that want to be there

Yeah, I used to do more WM stuff, but GNOME is like… Halfway there, anyway, and I just haven’t felt like customizing the look of my PC in a while, which is where WMs really shine for me in comparison to GNOME

Mine was a meme machine for a while. Old thinkpad with Arch and i3 gaps, switched to Sway, then GNOME

Rookie numbers. My main one is 14, my older one is almost 25.

It would be, I forgot to mention an important piece: Cellular data is typically metered relatively strictly (most plans I’ve seen allow “unlimited”, but it’s usually slowed way down if you use more than 10-15gb in a month) where most home internet connections aren’t, and with something like TikTok the expected use is mobile. If we’re going with the like = seed option, that does imply the seeding is happening from the device that liked the video.

With the Odysee model, I could set up my home PC (on an unmetered* connection) to have, say, 250gb set aside for videos to be shared from. It would be an intentional act that is unambiguously using up some bandwidth/data, and can’t be as easily misunderstood by the end user. Maybe find some way to incentivise it (preferably not crypto, but I do dislike this implementation of crypto less than most), but largely I think helping the community would be incentive for enough people to keep the network going, at least for a while.

*They’re technically metered, but every internet plan I’ve seen limits you to terabytes of data up/down, not gigabytes

At what point do they just… Pull the app from stores. Like seriously. All it is is a portal to patron+push motifs, which mobile browsers can do

Honestly the best way I’ve seen this handled is how Odysee did it. There’s crypto involved, but ignoring that, they essentially just asked users to choose to allocate an amount of their hard drive/bandwith to be used for storing, and sharing videos.

That would work better from an end user perspective, rather than running their data usage up, and using storage on a storage-limited device like a phone, and I’m sure there’s a way to incentivize it that isn’t crypto

Oh, there definitely are other UIs available. I’ve used a lot of them, and I do have a mastodon account. It just doesn’t have a lot of base features I like, plus Friendica let’s you do weird things like following RSS feeds, and posting from RSS feeds, natively, also I prefer the way replies are shown there, and I haven’t seen any mastodon clients that show them that way

I doubt anyone else will know how to deal with the server tbh. Nobody else really uses it, either. Inertia’s a pain, and while I do technically have other users here, I think the most recent login aside me was 6 months ago. They’ll have access to the password to get into stuff to handle whatever accounts they need to, and I may include instructions on how to turn my blog into an epub file if they want to do that, but the server itself likely won’t last more than a month after I die.

Bsky is owned by a transphobe, and funded by venture capital. Also from what I’ve heard they have the ability to ban anyone on any instance of bsky, not just the flagship one, I might be wrong on that one though.

Mastodon has its problems, but there’s a scale to it. I personally don’t care for the Mastodon software much, my own non-lemmy fedi account is on Friendica, but still.

Publii is probably what you want. It’s a GUI similar to WP/SquareSpace, but it spits out static pages.

• Boot computer
• Steam, emacs, evolution, newsflash, and web browser auto open
• Check email
• Check news
• Cry
• Go to dropout or nebula
• Log onto Wurm Online/FFXIV/Whatever
• Do something obnoxious in emacs that could probably be done elsewhere
• Maybe tweak a config if it needs it. Haven’t needed to in a year tbh.
• Shut down
• Realize I forgot to update
• Say I’ll do it tomorrow Like I’m on Arch but it’s a computer. I do computery things on it. Write my silly little stories that would traumatize a therapist. Do obscene things in video games.

I got really into customizing my system for a while, but now that it works I just leave it be, mostly. Most recent major change was my update command now spits out a list of packages, so if I need to reinstall I can just shove that into pacman

Could be a more recent change? I tried this about 6 months ago. I got around it using a temp email, though. Admittedly I don’t use that account for much, and should probably delete it xD

There are several that do, namely protonmail. You can get an email address without having a previous one, but if you sign up to any website using a free protonmail account they require you to either pay, or give them another email account to verify you. Doesn’t stop you from using disposable emails from what I remember though.

To be fair, part of this is my own experience. I’ve owned a Chromebook (still have it… Somewhere?), and know how it works. I’ve never once touched a Mac xD

It’s funny how my opinion of this really is:

Linux > Only using a smartphone (GrapheneOS) > Only using a smartphone (LineageOS) > Only using a smartphone (ARM Linux) > Literally not having a computer at all > Returning to the woods and living completely off-grid for the rest of my sorry days > Screaming into the void hoping it claims me > Chromebook > Mac > Windows

I just did Linux/Chromebook(derogatory)/Mac/Windows but it really didn’t capture my disdain for the last 3 enough

It’s very wrong about my entire setup, but it’ll be because it can tell you didn’t download some things

I use two: Namecheap and omg.lol.

Admittedly omg.lol isn’t a traditional registrar, but they do give you a domain name and other stuff (I don’t use most of it), but it’s $20/yr

Namecheap varies, but last I checked it was a bit cheaper. Not by much, maybe $15/yr for my .monster domain?
