They also allow ICE to recruitment ads on their platform.

Amazon web services. They are one of the biggest providers for hosting things. A lot of the internet infrastructure uses aws.

You’re absolutely right. We need to have many different options for many different people.

Woah, thank you for this. I’ve wanted to learn more about torrenting and how music files work anyway so actually sitting down and needing to study for this is a big plus.

Potash…potash is forever. I can never escape my dark past.

I’ve seen both. Paprika was cool but I definitely preferred perfect blue. Paprika being more trippy than perfect blue was its weak point, IMO. It was a lot harder to follow the story and feel an emotional impact from Paprika because they leaned too hard into it being trippy. Perfect blue had a good balance of story and trippiness.

Most definitely prefer winter. I moved from the south to the north US and I adore all of the snow, cold, and lack of sun. Don’t have to apply sunscreen and can go sledding. Summer in the north sucks cuz there’s not as much AC as there is down south.

One thing I miss are the cicadas and frogs. There’s some up here, but they don’t get in a chorus nearly as much as back home. The summer storms I miss a lot too. Apparently the closer you get to the equator, the more thunderstorms happen. I do not miss the temps getting into the 100Fs WITH 100% humidity.

Do I need to have elevated network permissions to do that? I don’t have admin access on my WiFi network and it is shared with a lot of people.

The hardware switch looks promising. Are there any decent ones for under $50 out there or are they usually a big investment?

I’m thinking use it to host a Minecraft or matrix server. I’m not expierenced with networking so nothing super advanced.

Might change if you get a VPN and change servers. I’m assuming that the suggested accounts are based on location.

I completely forgot about repositories in F-Droid. This is very helpful, thank you.

I’m curious, why do you use that over a VPN?

Same. Seems like YouTube is back on their anti VPN and frontend spree which will inevitability have a workaround and then they’ll be at it again. It’s cyclical at this point.

I’ll look into it. Thanks.

Edit: it’s not on f-droid :/

Wait, what? How does that work?

You don’t actually have to have a beefy computer to self host. I know with deepseek there’s a 1.5b model which is optimized for low end hardware. I self hosted it on a desktop from 2012 and it worked alright. 8gb RAM, i5 processer, quad core. Was the GPU usage high? Yep. Still worked tho.

LMDE is rock solid. I’ve been using it for a while and It Just Works.

Do you know if there’s a difference in the frequency of releases of the f-droid version and the play store version?
