My dude, it’s written down. There’s an actual book. But this is America, so he very likely can’t read.

Also note my surprised face that the entire account is vaguely homoerotic. Yet again, repressed sexuality seems to be at play here.

This is a great point and it does speak to the Fediverse being more resilient for sure. I still do not wish for numbers like Reddit has, somehow life uh… finds a way (to make everything shit).

This is the thing right here. Enjoy Lemmy as it is. There’s plenty of people here. The more people there are, the more it’s going to suck. Be glad Lemmy isn’t Reddit. I sure as fuck am. Lemmy is exactly the right size. Well, maybe it could double or triple and there would be more content and that would be a net positive, but anything more than that and it’s going to start devolving into the same cesspool that Reddit has become.

My place. First, the food is fabulous. Second, the food is cheap.

Edit: This pizza cost about $3 to make and it’s a really great, authentic sourdough Neapolitan.

I can confirm. Astrid is, in fact, pretty in the sunlight.

Well I’d like to but I’m on the waitlist. >:(

You’ve really got a gift.

You run a server on a machine inside your house, it can be any computer on your local LAN/wifi, but it’s obviously best if it’s a machine that’s always on. I use a Raspberry Pi 3B+ (these can be had for about $50) that I have plugged into my wifi router and it’s running a little program called Kiwix-Server (free and open source). You download the WP file (it’s a huge single file with a .zim extension) and point the server to it and boom.

I have my Pi-Hole doing DNS for me so I just set up an easy to remember redirect, wikipedia.local. I did it more for independence. I got Home Assistant and Voice PE so I could have a local smart speaker to get big tech out of my house. I don’t do anything on the cloud, so it stands to reason that if I want to make sure I always have access to rudimentary information, having my own version of WP is nice. I also just think it’s kind of cool and it never begs me for money.

No, that’s exactly what I did, I’m running kiwix-serve, but I’m not going to bother updating it because I’m really worried about information degrading now that fascists are basically calling the shots on everything (and WP’s jackboot co-founder has a hard on for it). If I feel enough time has gone by to warrant an update I’ll just do it manually.

I now browse Wikipedia. Please don’t screw me over Wikipedia, I donated five bucks to one of your nags once.

For anyone who doesn’t know, you can download Wikipedia and host it yourself! I got the top 50k version (~7G) on my RPI3 and now no matter what fuckery they pull or the government pulls, I’ve got a pretty decent source of general information.

Leftist Linux user here. I know who he is. He’s the guy who had the awesome video of tearing his muscles off while roller skating and throwing the raw meat at supermodels (Rock DJ).

Also Milllenium really captures the vibe of the 90s.

Edit: I am USian. But I guess his popularity peaked here in the 90s and so a lot don’t know him.
