Yeah, both with Mastodon, PeerTube and Lemmy I started on my own instances. Actually not quite, I had an Mastadon account for a day somewhere before I decided that I want to use it for real and installed my own instance.

Probably any of the ThinkPads I had. They were sturdy and just ran everything I put on them. Second place would be the Dell XPS 13, I like it because it is very small and light, but in the one I have now they already had to replace the motherboard after a month and when holding it with one hand it bends and sometimes does a click on the trackpad, but I don’t want to send it in a second time because I normally don’t use it like that.

It’s like 8 years ago or so, I had the InfinityBook with a skylake processor.

Bluetooth stopped working, send it in then it worked and stopped again, then send it in and it worked and stopped again.

The microphone had broken noises, tested it even under windows to be sure it’s a hardware problem.

Discoloration where the hands are left and right of the trackpad.

Plastic bezel around the screen fell off, the tape was bad quality.

Ah I wrote it down last year here:

I really wonder if they got any better, I had such a bad time with my tuxodo computer, had to send it for repair twice and replaced it with a used ThinkPad after less than a year.

Yeah something like the CX22 https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/ which is € 4.51 / month is enough for lemmy.

What I do instead is I host a series of services on my VPS and I pay about 20 EUR/month

• Lemmy
• Mastodon
• PeerTube
• my ruby on rails website + blog
• my old PHP website + blog
• another old PHP blog
• my sisters PHP website
• my sisters static website
• Firefox Sync server
• my bands static website
• a matrix server with some bridges
• a syncthing instance
• a TTRSS instance
• another static website

and I probably forgot some things.

I’m paying for the hosting of my single user instance.

Pro tip: delete the app on your phone. Needing to put in the website into the browser breaks the misscle memory and you can then easier replace it with something else.

Ah I was searching wrong, now that you mention it I found a very simila.r one !stick@sh.itjust.works

Then I guess it’s better to delete it to nog fragment it in unecessarily.

Where?

I’m using https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/met/

For me it’s similar, but I don’t have D.

Yeah I agree. I wonder how people make it real 2FA when the 2FA app is on the phone and they also log in in the phone.

I save them in my keepassxc, actually I save the 2fA also there. Once someone gets to my password manager all bets are off.

You can do that already, I’m doing it very often.

On the Desktop go to reader mode and click the play button.

On Android I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hyperionics.avar just share any website with it and it starts reading it.

We are approaching the use of AI in Firefox — which many, many of you have been asking about

Which one of you was it, who asked for AI in Firefox???

Because he needs to be able to jump in the washing machine!

That inspired me to try it too, and it’s really cool! In just 2 hours I got my player running around, jumping, etc. I didn’t expect it would be quite so easy:

I have the assets from a previous attempt to write it in JavaScript from scratch https://chuck-game.tumblr.com/about which failed because of something in the physics engine crashing the whole browser for the players.

I know, but NK politically isn’t that far away from PRC.

After the Covid lockdowns there is a saying in China:

We thought that North Korea is our past, but now we know it’s our future.

Soon it’ll be safer to use a Chinese Linux distribution than Windows.

Here is my attempt:

A man and a goat are on one side of the river. They have a boat which can carry both of them at the same time. How do they get to the other side?

The man and the goat can both get to the other side of the river together using the boat since the boat can carry both of them at the same time. Here’s how they can do it:

1. The man and the goat both get into the boat.
2. The man rows the boat, carrying himself and the goat across the river.
3. They both disembark on the other side.

Since the boat can carry both the man and the goat simultaneously, there are no restrictions preventing them from crossing together in one trip.
