“no” followed by 28 null characters and a small code payload that’ll crash their server (ok won’t work but it’d be funny)
I run the FBXL Network including FBXL Search, FBXL Social, FBXL Lemmy, FBXL Lotide, and FBXL Video. Mostly for my own use because after having my heart broken by too many companies I want to be in control of my own world.
I also wrote The Graysonian Ethic: Lessons for my unborn son, now on Amazon

Man, that sucks. One of the other things for me is that you can buy decent headphones for like seven bucks with a 3.5mm jack. Most USB headsets are going to be a lot more expensive.
Does your phone support qi charging? That could be a solution if it does.
I’ve got jerboa, but typically I just use a web browser since the mobile experience is really good for most fediverse platforms, and when they’re not it’s an opportunity to improve them – lotide had a terrible experience on mobile until I improved it on my site which then the dev used to create a whole new theme that worked way better on mobile.
My YouTube premium downloads are on my sd card, which works out nicely.
I listen to certain YouTube videos to get to sleep and have for years and years. Wireless ear buds just aren’t in the cards for something like that.
Imaging software is a godsend for that sort of thing. I ended up using BartPE for something like that, and it worked great – it has a free imaging program on it. You only need a removable drive large enough for all your files since it’ll compress everything.
I have a feeling you’d end up with a bunch of big drives with small volumes on them if it did work.
Warning you, I’ve had issues with RAID combining SSD and HDD. Basically I was on an older dell server and I wanted to do mirroring and the bios straight up refused to do it because it didn’t want to mix ssds and hdds.
Is it bad that I saw a new domain name and was like “ooh, a new instance to federate with!”?
Had bad luck with China phones being open before, but when the time comes I’ll have to take a look.
Now we just need headphone jacks and SD cards and lineageos support and my dream phone will be mandated.
Til about mobile extensions on Firefox mobile
Brave is one of the only browsers on android that does decent ad blocking, but it’s chrome based so it also works reasonably well on mobile sites expecting chrome.
Seems to me that monetizing karma would bring what is already sort of an echo chamber to the next level. Suddenly an unpopular take can cost you dollars and cents.
I’ve bought a few dozen of these things, shame to see them go.
I’ve been self-hosting a wide variety of things including nextcloud (which is one open source project I advocate everyone look at, especially on a web domain so they can access it from anywhere)
Go linux for hosting your open source projects. Just do it. I’m not saying that because windows is inherently worse than linux, but because everything out there is documented as if you’re hosting off of linux. In fact, you should really consider using Ubuntu-server, because most things have documentation specifically for ubuntu.
Going with windows server as mostly just s hyper-v box with your linux installations inside, that might be worthwhile.
If your IP address appears static, then you can probably just directly configure dns through the web interface of your domain provider. There’s a great script out there for doing dynamic dns using different providers such as godaddy, that could be some insurance to make sure you don’t end up with a non-working social media network.
One thing you should consider is running one virtual host as your reverse proxy that redirects different subdomains to the different individual servers running your services. The reverse proxy server running something like nginx would then deal with all your subdomains, and if you work on say your nextcloud and need to reboot it won’t take all your services down at once because your reverse proxy continues to function for all your other services.
A self-hosted ebook solution would be nice. It’s surprising the holes in kindle even tbh
I believe it can be, but what I’ve found in general with respect to my fediverse journey is that pretty much everything is built for Linux. If you want to use windows, you’ll likely have to blaze a trail for yourself.
I had one windows PC in my server farm initially, but installed Linux after I realized most things I wanted to run really wanted me to be running Linux.
I found mxroute, it works very well for me. I can’t say much about specific features since I just wanted a simple email host.
I think I set that up successfully on a vm under windows.
It’s obviously a level worse than chatgpt but it worked surprisingly well otherwise. Poorer answers but still not bad.
Perforated galvanized plumbers strapping. While most of my equipment is wall mountable, I used exactly this sort of thing for all the power supplies.
Likely similar to whatever you’re planning to use with the plastic strap, but more metal is more betterer
