Two out of three. I read the post and that’s exactly what the admins of F.O say will do. It’s them who are stirring up shit.

You don’t, or you wouldn’t have asked that. If your excuse to not eat food is that “it’s not digested yet”, that’s the problem eating the food helps solve in the first place.

Or go be a chick of bird. You get pre-digested food for free.

static personal site hosting

name the thing “inline style”

Pretty good catch there!

Other than that while the overall idea sounds good, there are a few concerns, I’d like to have your feedback on these even if it’s not a definitive word - sometimes, “I don’t know” is the correct answer!

.it

that .it domain is kinda worrying given their recent stance on blocking or deleting parts of the internet to support the shareholders. Well, at least it’s not Spain, but do keep an eye on that.

The idea is to keep it sustainable with a simple support plan (€1.90/month)

Are there any considerations towards a one-time life payment on the horizon? It’s what ultimately drew me to SDF compared to the rest of the enshittifying internet, and they do provide similar services to what your roster seems to be so far.

May I recommend also Cryptpad? From my understanding NC+Collabora is a PITA to set up and prone to random failures (tho I would disclose the last time I tried the combo myself was on 2022). Cryptpad, while a lot simpler and less-featured, provides a leaner experience that approaches that of eg.: a pastebin.

Some comments have mentioned chat. A XMPP server, like Prosody or ejabberd, is quite cheap and simple to run compared to “nu-protocols” like Matrix, and without having to go too far back into the 90s with something like IRC. Has good support for clients across the board as well, on Linux, Android, web, etc.

Other than that the only differentiating factor I could think of offering that I have seem almost no one else do, is some sort of “math service”, something like an Octave or Maxima online if such thing exists, or like what Wolfram Alpha has online, where people can run calculations, plot function graphs, perhaps with support for spreadsheets and charts too, which would also function as an alternative to google charts and the like.

Then again, maybe there are ways to make that burden smaller.

Yes: encode on lower resolutions.

Most of the videos on Youtube don’t ever need to be 4K. They don’t even need to be 1080p. Heck, most don’t even need 720p! Things like music videos, where what’s important is the music, orthings like old TV broadcasts or play rips of old consoles, where the source barely gets to 360p, can be encoded to 360p or even 244p without any suffering (I played Monster Hunter on the 3DS for years and I can attest 244p can do great works of magic).

This mixes wonderfully with Peertube’s idea about hosting your own instance. If you are hosting your own video storage, you’ll want to maximize the amount of stuff you can throw into it. If someone complains that your videos aren’t 1080p, tell them to go to /donate.php and do their part.

As an ESL, I thought that was “narcs”?

Lembipie. What else?

(And why does this particular subset need a name, anyway? The plus combo is easier to get the point across with)

This meme from the late 90s is still going? It’s honestly an impressive record.

if you have to list more than one thing per thing the landscape may not be there for a full replacement

And it would be even less if there had to be only one thing per thing.

One of the strengths of the FOSS metacommunity is the variety in designs and results. Big Corpo abuses economies of scale and locks you in with a “one shoe fits all solution” because they under the table also chisel and file your feet; FOSS has (largely) no such restrictions so they can afford to try things and see what results and, more importantly, what evolves. Not everything has to be a copy of corporate, and we shouldn’t act as if it had to be.

, and my rebuttal is “should we ban mute, or speech-impared people from getting a CDL”?

Well those people are already Undesirables under the rule of el trumpo, so their answer is… yeah?

In this economy???

I understand the concern to be honest. The problem here is that when someone is a bigot and they are at least reasonable enough to walk themselves out, the response of the community is to stain everyone else by association.

Trust is not associative, and tbh distrust probably should also not be.

Good try, but I don’t read MBA hallucinations or AI slop.

Is this even true or just a myth? From what I know, law doesn’t actually mandate people to be jerkasses. Also at least in sane countries, you can’t trademark words that are in the dictionary like “hoard” or “hoarder”, since by definition they have prior art.

Hey at least you’ll never run out of ich_iel!

Everyone gets signed up to that initially and those who want to transfer to another instance afterwards can.

That’s the second big problem hidden in this model: account migration doesn’t currently work (nor do I know of an ETA for feature release).

Not to mention the first problem: this heavily promotes centralization which is what caused this whole mess in the first place.

I don’t get how people get hung on choosing a server when people have been chosing a starter Pokémon since 1998 without any major issues. And you get just about the “same” amount of practical info.

Really, what tiktok does to a generation…
