I’ve used mailbox.org for the last few years. They are a privacy-focused provider out of Germany. They aren’t restrictive on the app you use, like proton, and offer an integrated PGP-signing solution.

The silent “majority” who haven’t won a popular vote for president since George W. Bush in 2004 despite intentionally disenfranchising millions of voters in liberal areas every election! How’s that work?

I think I’m overly sensitive because my power is very expensive and my home is getting pretty warm right now!

That’s so much electricity though! That equipment is typically so cheap bc the power draw is nuts. I agree the pi isnt the right move but why burn up so much power when they won’t be using practically any of it, to learn?

I’d suggest a small, used x86-64 mini-pc, throw in 16gb of ram and a HDD. If you dont pay for electricity, like in a dorm, then the old server-grade stuff is the way to go. Plus it will keep you very toasty in the winter.

I think this is geared towards folks who are convinced counting calories doesnt work. That they are gaining weight even though they “only has 1k calories per day”.

Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction.

You posted this comment in a community that didn’t exist before the protests. On day-1 of the protest this place was a ghost town. Today I have an active feed with dozens of posts per hour and hundreds of comments. This was the best possible outcome. If the entirety of reddit migrated at once then the fediverse would still be crawling or stalled completely. Its alpha software with a a fraction of the capacity reddit has. The threadiverse seed has been successfully planted, it just needs some time to grow.

The mini PC is your best bet. I only have ARM SBCs but they have a lot of limitations. If I needed something new it would likely be a used mini PC. I dont have any suggestions unfortunately. I saw something posted a couple weeks ago that was some university surplus- $30 used mini PC’s, including the case- which will run circles around any ARM SBC. I think shipping was another $30 but still a great deal. Find something like that.

You’d be better off with something that has an EMMC slot (or ideally SATA connection). Running the OS off of an SD card is painfully slow. I’ve also found USB storage to be way more reliable than SD cards, in general. I used an external 4-bay drive connected via usb3 for years and never had issues. Burned through many SD cards over the same period.

Piracy. I couldn’t live with 25%+ of my TV watching time being advertisements. Manually downloading episodes became too much trouble so I setup a Plex/sab/sonars/radarr config on a pi connected to a 4-bay external drive enclosure featuring refurbished HGST 2tb HDDs in an lvm raid-5 config.

Eventually I also substituted my radio with paid Spotify so about the only ads im served are product placements and billboards. Its amazing how much less you’ll spend without ads!

This is what’s up. You really don’t notice that any other instances are having issues unless you look for it. Your feed just fills up with the instances that are working.

Yea, good call. I wonder if kbin makes them viewable because the activity pub protocol does not allow them to be easily hidden.

Activities are public and easily viewable on kbin. It’s been interesting. Seems mostly positive other than people harassing those who down-vote them demanding explanations.
