Thanks anyway. I will keep trying, I hope somebody else tries it and it works.

Thanks for writing this! I’ve been trying to use my old samsung as a server. Have you trying using it to host a fediverse server? Do you think thats possible?

In Amharic, spoken in Ethiopia, you use the the formal you in formal settings (mostly work or legal related matters) or when speaking to an elderly person. The informal you has variations for women and men but the formal you is gender neutral.

As others have said, if its fun to do, then why not?

It doesnt make sense to put in free labor (posting, commenting, sharing etc) for a commercial organization (reddit, instagram, etc). Using the fediverse makes more sense to me

I think it would be good if you offered a definition of communism, bc it can mean different things to different people.

Harvey Epstein is crazy bad luck for a name.

For me, it depends on the crime and how common or uncommon the name is but still probably not.

Thanks for sharing the links!

Okay, I didn’t know ATproto had many parts that can be independent or dependent on each other. It would be nice if there was an easy way to check the level of independence of an instance

I don’t use it much, but from what I understand ATproto used to super expensive to self host but now costs have fallen significantly and other instances outside of the main Bluesky instance have emerged. I think now the problem they have to solve is getting the users (who are something like 99 per cent on the main Bluesky instance) over to the other instances.

If they lock bootloaders, whats the best way to force it work even the vendors don’t want it to?

fuck google!

Who can I donate to that is working on making alternative OS accessible on android or iphones?

I know there are alternative OS already out there but they aren’t as universally accessible compared to how Linux can run on any PC.

As a non technical person, I think any tool that would make local hosting easier for laypeople like myself is great! I hope everything works out for you and localhostinger becomes a thing. I particularly like the “The app store idea” version a lot!

If I can share a few books I’ve really enjoyed:

So Long a Letter (1979) - Mariama Ba

The Old Drift (2019) - Namwali Serpell

Tekusat (ትኩሳት) (1997) - Sebhat Gebre-Egzhiaber

Things Fall Apart (1958) - Chinua Achebe

Patchwork (2011) - Ellen Banda-Aaku

The Wedding of Zein (1966) - Tayeb Salih

Is Zohran back in NYC or is this recorded before he left for Uganda?

I would extent this to billboards in general. Its annoying and nonsensical to advertise private products in public spaces

Alot of people are really helpful for any questions you might ask, as long as you are respectful

Thanks for the answer. I suppose getaround is like uber in that the organization doesn’t own the cars. That’s an interesting model to have a lot of cars quickly.
