Im guilty of this. As long as they are using Linux though it makes me happy.

Woo we staying!

Also anyone know how to use their API? https://api.fediverse.observer/

I would love to make a “treadiverse” combo line. Cause its hard to look at when piefed is slowly going up, lemmy is slowly going down, and m/k bin is going all over.

EDIT: Never mind, found it. Theres an icon on the right hand side.

Might be “Automatically add new remote communities” toggle on the admin side.

I used to do a ton of seeding on isos but it really took its tool on the old harddrive I did it on. I kinda stopped for a long time. I used to do it for the origonal Ubuntu isos like 8.04 or something like that. And puppy linux :)…

Ive never heard of apt-mirror, thats interesting. Ill have to take a look. thanks!

I made mine into a laptop. Its decent at doing most things.

Im having a heck of a time finding material. Any recommendations?

Im downloading this version of wikipedia: https://browse.library.kiwix.org/viewer#wikipedia_en_all_mini_2025-12

I only have about 100GB left-ish so I dont want to get a huge amount. I might just get ebooks and throw those on there.

Oh neat, its on yuno https://apps.yunohost.org/app/kiwix

I think a good test is to shut off your house internet and see what things you still need. Like actually disconnect the router and only go off your own infa. What can you get done, what things do you still need?

For me I found out:

1. All my software development packages, linux isos, etc… are ALL online. If I was unable to get on certain websites, I would be SOL in doing most of my software development. Even simple stuff like installing via apt would be VERY hard.
2. While I have OSM (open street maps), I dont have address info saved anywhere.
3. Most of my mesh stuff (meshtastic) has online tools for all the builds and deploys. Meaning if the website goes down im SOL getting new nodes out in the wild.
4. Entertainment is pretty much covered, since we dont have anything streaming anyways. We try to keep things DRM free to begin with so books/audio/movies can go to different places without worry.
5. Radio still works, so news isnt really a big deal.
6. I need to get a backup of some encyclopedias and/or get wikipedia somewhere hosted. That would be fun and informative.

Yes join the dosins of us 🥧

huh TIL. Discord is a strange place.

Can you host your own server? Or is it just their way of saying “this is on our infastructure, pay for it”?

It still feels weird to have to pay for an emoji. One that is open source to boot. I just ended up copy/pasting an actual image file from https://slackmojis.com/

Nice! lynx is fun.

I like using links2 + piefed cause theres a Low bandwidth mode that works well with it. You can actually see posts and stuff.

I want my fat boy Always liked the mascot.

fixed.

What I wouldn’t give for a Linux phone (not android).

Ah gotcha! Ive been defaulting to dark or default myself. But anything that makes it easy on the eyes im all about it. GL!

Quick Q, how did you get the Green style thats on your instance?

Yep, we are doing it now ;)

Used to use travis or clicleci and they both worked really well. Theres some issues with travis being old/expensive and circle got in touble for a few security issues though. gitlab has some nice tools from my experience.

Im interested as well. Ive got a forgjo that I would love to hook into at some point.
