Difference Between Nerd and Geek

Has anyone written a scientific treatise on the differences between nerd and geek?

On the one hand, I could instigate endless debate about the finer points of nerds.

On the other hand I could construct nerds with a 3-D meat printer.

I am thinking about hosting my own Mastodon server from home on a Raspberry Pi (Pi4 8GB)?

1. Are there good tutorials out there?
2. What's the annual cost just to host yourself?

@linux @nixCraft @raspberrypi

Check out masto.host for managed hosting.

You can migrate away from them if you ever want to.

If you self host instead, make sure your server is on its own vlan. Servers are a target for exploitation, and you don’t want the rest of your home devices exposed if your server is compromised.

Note: A Pi probably has the CPU power, but the caching from the server may be more space than an SD card will hold.

Yeah, I meant: isolated vlan

Why does @firefox have to keep profiles hidden in "about:profiles" like they're illegal to have. It's quite literally the 1 feature stopping me from using it over Vivaldi. That and vertical tabs, of course

If you add -no-remote to the command, you can launch multiple profiles simultaneously. You don’t need that parameter on your main profile.

Example:

“C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe” -P [profile’s name] -no-remote

You can even make a shortcut to Firefox and put the command in. I have several icons launch profiles when I need them.

I recommend the Container Tabs extension. It’s similar yo having profiles, but more accessible.
