lemmyreader,

Thanks for pointing to documentation. The Arch Linux wiki just saved the day.

lemmyreader,

lemmyreader,

🙂 👍

lemmyreader,

Off the top of my head some components I’ve had problems with: touchpads, touch screens, wifi, ethernet, bluetooth, audio in, audio out, media keys. I have suspected others also like (onboard intel) GPUs but it’s a little harder for me to even pin those problems down to the hardware.

That is a long list. I would have expected no problems with Ethernet cards, and not so much with WiFi but that is just a thought. Is this is pretty new computer ? Can you share which Linux distributions you tried ?

lemmyreader,

Linux distros I have tried include: ubuntus, debians, fedoras, opensuse, manjaro, endeavour, mint. No slackware, redhat, centos, gentoo, nix, kali, steam.

Good. Some light weight suggestions for your devices to try :

like netbooks I picked up only because they were cheap

Netbooks as in for example Asus EEE models ? I think some of these models had really slow hard disks and also needed some tweaks for some part of the hardware. The difference in your hardware success / failure is perhaps mainly because of the different kernels and the hardware support of a Linux distribution release (btw, Debian 12 aka Bookworm had for the first time non-free firmware bundled with the installer). In general I think refurbished old Thinkpads should be fine with Linux. Here’s two dedicated wikis for that :

lemmyreader,

Nice to hear this 🙂 I love reading. Almost never watch videos, and I usually prefer listening to music audio only.

lemmyreader,

You tagged a Mastodon account and here on Planet Lemmy that Fedi language from the little elephants is still in consideration.

lemmyreader,

The grandfather of the fediverse @evan wants TikTok Notes to join the fediverse

That part.

lemmyreader,

You did tag indeed, in the sense of just looking at the plain text of your post but it appears that Lemmy has not fully implemented all. Maybe indeed different front-ends having different implementations.

lemmyreader,

Glad it is not 99% :-)

lemmyreader,

I’ve only used Nitter in the past to read the status of a page of someone on Twitter. Sadly lots of people and organizations are still sitting on their Twitter account :( Some open source projects still use their Twitter account as their main communication tool (VLC being a recent example) to the rest of the world. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39789300With this Userstyle I could see the timeline of an account today, without needing a Twitter account and it being clutter free.

lemmyreader,

I watched a few statuses on Twitter with this Userstyle using Tor and then added blocking of the Google and Apple login scripts and without having to use a Twitter login. Never got asked by Twitter to login. Nitter was for sure much nicer when it still worked but this is good enough for me when I would really want to look up a Twitter page (which rarely happens).

lemmyreader,

Were Flatpaks, Snaps or AppImages involved ?

lemmyreader,

Quite a story.Respect.And worthy of turning it into a blog post!

lemmyreader,

Looks like PeerTube can do p2p and torrents. And your idea makes me think of ipfs.

lemmyreader,

I almost did not care about replying to your comment but let me just share this with all of you. Mastodon can be called a success but quite a few people have not been too happy about the behavior of the Mastodon developer Gargron since years. Not defederating the flagship Mastodon instance which has right now apparently 242K active users from Mark Zuckerberg’s product is another nuisance for some. Maybe not for you, but for me it is.

lemmyreader,

But it’s his instance. The whole point is that you run your own if you want a different approach to administration.

You seem to keep looking at this as the admin of your self hosted instance with only you as the only user. With large instances there comes the responsibility of moderation and that is a thing that Gargron has been lacking with years ago. And keeping the door open for new sign-ups while the idea of Federation is to decentralize, and people repeatedly asking you to show new users to other instances but not doing so is just plain horrible imho.

lemmyreader,

Yes. But Proton wants users to pay for their bridge to use IMAP with Thunderbird. Not sure if their bridge works with K9-mail and FairEmail.

lemmyreader,

This is why when you update a record for your domain it’s updated globally in near real time with multiple providers.

Depending on the TTL, right ?

lemmyreader,

IRC is still in use by several open source projects, and it can be nice for quick and open public chatting for meeting people,and to ask questions.
