Why would I follow a feed of what appears to be made of pictures that are mostly AI slop?

There is apparently an incredible amount of manipulation and legal fights happening around these reviews on Google maps, so that is probably a minefield any independent open-source developer should avoid.

Sure, but the point of getting a mini-pc is usually not that you have an open case with a second ATX PSU sitting on top to power some extra hardrives.

How will you power the drives?

And from what I have heard, these m2 to SATA adapters have over-heating issues.

Optiplex etc. with an Intel 8th gen “T” chips seem to offer the best bang for the buck + energy efficiency on the second hand market right now.

The main issue with these thin clients is the lack of SATA ports and power connections for them if you want to add some larger 2.5” SSD/HDD storage. Usually it is only one, but you can also use the DVD drive slot with an adapter in the mid sized versions.

That’s for instances, not accounts, no?

What is probably needed is a 3rd party vouching account system. A bit like how email accounts are used today, but with a back-channel that allow you to get reputation from the places you join with that account and that in turn makes it easier to join other places.

The 80% LLM applications doesn’t seem to have reached Lemmy yet. For us it is more like 10% or so. But yeah, it is getting harder to distinguish these.

I know someone that runs Ubuntu Touch as his daily driver on a FP5 and seems to be happy with it.

Out instance on https://movim.slrpnk.net/ will be of course updated when time allows, but I am currently busy with another project and want to switch to a better container image for Movim as well (sorry for the current image preview issues).

There used to be a women’s space on slrpnk.net (although a bit unfortunately named after a controversial Reddit community), but we could never really find women willing to moderate it longer term and the amount of dudes showing up with trollish comments became a bit too much for us admins to handle.

Thanks for sharing the details 👍

Not only wikis sadly. Anything that has public facing deep links that trigger extensive database operations are being hammered by these bots and few servers can take the load.

Ergochat in combination with Goguma, Halloy and maybe ObsidianIRC. But I would also recommend you look into other options than IRC for a family chat.

My recommendation would be XMPP with https://snikket.org/

No, but afaik they also host a Movim instance.

https://disroot.org/

Mailbox.org also does it, but their Ejabberd server is currently very outdated, so I really can’t recommend them for the Jabber part.

There are probably some more, but this combination is sadly not anywhere near as popular as it used to be. The main problem is that hosting email is such a shitshow, so very few people that host a XMPP server want to deal with that.

Yes, as those are two entirely different things.

It’s not a big deal, but a single user instance has some issues with discoverability as it will only show communities you personally have subscribed to.

The best place to start is https://joinjabber.org/ (Jabber is another name for XMPP).

The apps for Android are free on F-Droid.

A fediverse instance obviously.
