Almost wish I’d waited to switch, just to say this was the video that sold me xD

Seems to be back up. If something’s down, I usually throw it into Down for Everyone or Just Me, or just wait for a day. Stuff goes down sometimes

Every 1-2 weeks, depends on how often I remember

Yeah I just have an alias called update that runs all of the update commands, as well as a few other things

I’ve used PeerTube for streaming personally, it works well. I haven’t used OwnCast, but I’ve been on OwnCast streams, and it also seems to work well. PT also has the benefit of being fedi, but that’s only if you want it, OwnCast just has a central website it posts all of the streams to I think? At least all of them that want to be there

Yeah, I used to do more WM stuff, but GNOME is like… Halfway there, anyway, and I just haven’t felt like customizing the look of my PC in a while, which is where WMs really shine for me in comparison to GNOME

Mine was a meme machine for a while. Old thinkpad with Arch and i3 gaps, switched to Sway, then GNOME

I mean… It’s been a thing in transfem circles since ~2015, where femboy didn’t gain much mainstream relevance until ~2021. So yeah, it likely did stick because of transfems in IT as a profession/hobby

Rookie numbers. My main one is 14, my older one is almost 25.

My advice for running the software on a work PC: Don’t. You can buy an old used laptop off of eBay for $50 in working condition that works fine as a media center. $50+the convenience usually isn’t worth your job, but YMMV.

My advice for discovery: Idk what spotube is, but panoscrobbler+listenbrainz works great for me

Yeah, it’s definitely one of those that’s also just… Useful. I usually don’t go for software that’s trying to do too much, but for some reason I don’t mind having nextcloud as 10 different things xD Sync files, sync podcast listens, sync my RSS feeds… A lot of things all in one

Oh, there definitely are other UIs available. I’ve used a lot of them, and I do have a mastodon account. It just doesn’t have a lot of base features I like, plus Friendica let’s you do weird things like following RSS feeds, and posting from RSS feeds, natively, also I prefer the way replies are shown there, and I haven’t seen any mastodon clients that show them that way

I doubt anyone else will know how to deal with the server tbh. Nobody else really uses it, either. Inertia’s a pain, and while I do technically have other users here, I think the most recent login aside me was 6 months ago. They’ll have access to the password to get into stuff to handle whatever accounts they need to, and I may include instructions on how to turn my blog into an epub file if they want to do that, but the server itself likely won’t last more than a month after I die.

It’s will, as in “strength of will.” Basically meaning “Where there’s someone willing to do something, there will be a way to do it”

This. I self host some things because it’s just fun, other things because of censorship, other things because of privacy. I probably wouldn’t have Nextcloud if Google wasn’t collecting so much data. Probably wouldn’t be self-hosting my blog if content weren’t as censored everywhere. I probably would still be self-hosting a Minecraft server with a small website for said server that the members of the server can contribute to when they find/do something cool.

Bsky is owned by a transphobe, and funded by venture capital. Also from what I’ve heard they have the ability to ban anyone on any instance of bsky, not just the flagship one, I might be wrong on that one though.

Mastodon has its problems, but there’s a scale to it. I personally don’t care for the Mastodon software much, my own non-lemmy fedi account is on Friendica, but still.

Publii is probably what you want. It’s a GUI similar to WP/SquareSpace, but it spits out static pages.

• Boot computer
• Steam, emacs, evolution, newsflash, and web browser auto open
• Check email
• Check news
• Cry
• Go to dropout or nebula
• Log onto Wurm Online/FFXIV/Whatever
• Do something obnoxious in emacs that could probably be done elsewhere
• Maybe tweak a config if it needs it. Haven’t needed to in a year tbh.
• Shut down
• Realize I forgot to update
• Say I’ll do it tomorrow Like I’m on Arch but it’s a computer. I do computery things on it. Write my silly little stories that would traumatize a therapist. Do obscene things in video games.

I got really into customizing my system for a while, but now that it works I just leave it be, mostly. Most recent major change was my update command now spits out a list of packages, so if I need to reinstall I can just shove that into pacman

Could be a more recent change? I tried this about 6 months ago. I got around it using a temp email, though. Admittedly I don’t use that account for much, and should probably delete it xD

There are several that do, namely protonmail. You can get an email address without having a previous one, but if you sign up to any website using a free protonmail account they require you to either pay, or give them another email account to verify you. Doesn’t stop you from using disposable emails from what I remember though.
