Do you think this potential list is appropriate? Other people suggested a minimum of 16 GB RAM.
Heyo! Just another random who’s moving over from centralized social media to the Fediverse. Mastodon wasn’t too bad but I love anything like Reddit!
Games, anime, Japanese, food, and music are my loves. Fanfic beats food tho, I can read for hours instead!

So one pihole would be on the router, while the other runs on another piece of dedicated hardware?
Sorry, corrected my post as I have confused several people lol. Proton has killswitch on mobile and PC, just not Fire TVs.
Yeah, definitely could be making faster improvements, and it’s disheartening considering Pixelfed hasn’t had major improvements either. But I’m not a coder, so other than the fact that I donated to the spring Kickstarter, I can’t complain much.
Didn’t realize you just wanted to scroll. Yeah, almost no instance requires registration to scroll. Once again, I think Loops is just requiring registrations now because the project is unfinished, and probably can’t handle a large amount of users. They also need easy feedback from users.
But the virus will be removed when you install proxmox Oh yeah, if I do use it I was gonna fully wipe windows into oblivion
I currently have 3 laptops in various degrees of old and broken being used as a proxmox cluster.
Oh so you can cluster multiple devices? I’ll have to check that out.
I definitely plan to used RAID for my drives.
To follow 3-2-1, have the working copy, a copy on a SD, and a copy on cloud (encrypted of course). Depending on the size of the snapshot it will go to Proton or Google Drive (Sticking to Google is silly, I know, but I don’t have a second location to have secure my data lol). 2 is met by having it on SD and Cloud. 1 is met by saving encrypted snapshot on cloud.
Loops is still in beta, so there’s no other instances yet, but it’s gonna use ActivityPub like everyone else does so it can federate with Pixelfed (and probs mastodon). Also, like 90% of Fediverse instances require registration, usually to prevent spam and other crazy shit (CSAM, literal gore, etc.) from being posted. Just gonna have to wait a bit.
I think we’ve got an old MacBook with a broken screen, and a Windows laptop that slowed down because got a virus on it. Didn’t think I could use something with a broken screen, but I’ll try it maybe.
Edit: Not sure if I have their chargers though…
Specifically talking about the FireTV, 99% sure the app doesn’t have a Killswitch, I’ve checked. I use it all the time on PC and Mobile though :)
Setting up the VPN on the router sounds great, but can home routers (I have Cox) flash VPN software on them (thought they couldn’t)? Also is it MAC or IP filtering (would I have to set a device to static IP) for deciding which devices use the VPN tunnel? How good is it about switching servers (like if a server I’m connected to is on maintenance or is overloaded)? Not too worried about the web issues, can always hop back on the regular Wi-Fi and use the app.
Exciting! I’ve made an effort to let go of Insta for both privacy and hatred of Zuck’s policies, which left me stuck on Tumblr to look at any fanart/fandom content. Hopefully this could replace people’s need for Tumblr in a few years, especially since they also do a shit job of caring about their users.
I gotta find the link but a woman’s American-born son was detained at the airport for 8 hours and asked about his loyalty to the US because he’s asian looking and was heading to some middle-eastern country or some shit. So literal citizens are being stopped and questioned.
So glad I clicked on the post, would’ve missed the absolute ride in the cutoff.
As someone who was definitely born with internet being a standard in my house and school as a child, this is sad. I loved going to the library every week with my dad and older sister, and we both loved encyclopedias and non-fiction books about animals and stuff. Recently I had to use my college library for a practice exercise for my Eng class and once we learned the system they use (it’s not Dewey Decimal), my partner and I had a blast looking for books for our papers. It was fun, honestly. It really made me realize that sometimes the internet is less efficient for finding quality and trusted information rather than perusing the library catalogue (which I can do online too obvs).
