Seconded for that. Parted Magic is so nice that when they went paid, I ponied up immediately, which is saying something from my cheap ass.

That's because of discrimination and toxicity, neither of which are helped by banning trans women.

Honestly I've got like 7 different addresses spread across 3 different providers. Email isn't important enough for me to worry too much about privacy and control. It's mostly just a place to collect spam for me these days.

I think that's what's kept me at KeePass rather than moving to something like Bitwarden. Since it's file-level encryption, anything that can serve files can also serve my KeePass database. When I upgrade servers or change to different services, restoring my database is as simple as throwing the file into that new service and going on with my life.

Nah. Every time I buy a new roll I print a calicat with it to make sure my current settings are good, but that's about it.

Add on user purge behavior and the headaches that causes. Can't count the number of times I've been looking into an issue and came across a two year old reddit thread where the solution had been deleted. Much less likely to happen on a dedicated forum.

I'm guessing you don't have much experience with FOSS software. It's volunteer driven, with a set of passionate maintainors at the helm. Much like Linux.

That depends on what you're wanting to do with it. If you're just playing around rn I'd almost recommend seeing if you can get an older desktop and mess around with virtualization/containers that way.

Advantage: a desktop machine is gonna be more expandable than a single board computer and easier to migrate when you have the money for something with more power.

Yeah, this is it. The only exception would be if you're running everything off a single non-virtualized, non-containerized server, which is a bad idea for a whole host of reasons.

Nah that makes sense. Learn from the mistakes of early mastodon. Defederate only in extreme cases else you end up with a bunch of accts for no reason and it becomes unusable.

Just found out about Lemmy. Hoping to see some Reddit refugees as time goes on

Woot! Congrats!
