  • The difference is twitter is just another big social media platform. Elon Musk isn’t potentially trying to ruin an open source federated alternative that fixes a lot of the problems with social media. He’s just messing around with and tanking a big corpo social media site.

    So I honesty don’t really care about twitter as it will get us more users if he burns it down, if the Zuck doesn’t ruin us first.

    Basically twitter isn’t a threat to us and could actually be a big help.

    Threads could ruin everything we’ve worked for.




  • As someone who lives in the UK where only farmers can get a gun to protect livestock from dangerous wildlife( which hate on me all you want is a valid reason to own a firearm and not just as a fancy toy to show off like Americans). Statistics show that men tend to use more brutal methods of suicide so not having guns makes no difference because they will simply use a different fatal method. So as someone who lives in a country that has a lot of suicides and no guns for the average joe. Removing guns has solved nothing in terms of suicide.

    So please draw info from other countries before making assumptions about how a law would change your country, because otherwise it’s very narrow minded, and you will waste time and lives trying to make a solution that already has no effect abroad.

  • As someone who is also looking at building a server for different things then you( mainly nextcloud and a few other self hosted services). if you don’t need more then 2tb of storage look into a used HP mini office PC.

    • They are cheap at less then £200 for an older model or even sub £100

    • They are a lot more powerful then an SBC like a raspberry pi but without being an electricity consumption monster like a lot of servers

    • Some have a 60W PSU so they are dirt cheap to run

    • Newer ones have a 2.5 SATA slot and a M.2 slot( including the 60W model I’m looking at getting used). So you can have dual drives for a fast main drive and a backup drive or RAID depending on how you set it up

    • They are small and don’t take up much room in your house like a raspberry pi

    • If you need more space and it doesn’t have to be super fast you could get a USB NAS for it

    So overall they are a really good option if you want something small and you don’t have a ton of money for hardware or electricity but a raspberry pi doesn’t fulfil your performance needs.
