No I mean even if you’re not supposed to bring a phone, how is the school going to know if it stays in a closed backpack, turned off.

The spirit of the rule is that kids shouldn’t use the phone at school or let it distract others, but that is nebulous to interpret and enforce whereas “don’t bring it” is easier to enforce.

Is it safe to use IPFS without a VPN ?

You can have it you just can’t take it out and use it

I’ve had Ubuntu and the graphics, Wi-Fi, and resume from sleep drivers have all been sticking points

What does it mean to be technically run over as opposed to actually run over?

The best guide isn’t written down: don’t be afraid to try a few instances until you find one you like!

Once you’re on Mastodon and following people, you’ll start to notice the servers and gravitate towards the ones you like.

I would advise against mastodon.social since it is the biggest and also has some problems with moderation. But some people like it, so maybe it is good enough also.

To choose a server, check out https://fedi.tips/which-server-should-i-join-how-do-i-find-out-more-about-a-server/

The fedi.tips account also posts a lot of helpful tips and themed lists of accounts to follow/discover so I recommend following them too!

For some reason I thought Nostr was started up by someone else and Dorsey just liked it

There’s a lot of artists selling stuff on Mastodon but I don’t think you can have a job as a mastodon influencer

What’s good for freedom is bad for ease of use.

I do it too. I guess I trust cloudflare more than the public Internet but when I have more money I’ll do it right

Mentour will get to this eventually

Politics is so weird

Thanks for the recommendation! Are there eBay search terms I should know? Used PC workstation?

I’m not sure if matrix will ever be able to overcome this hurdle

In an ideal world I’d host on an Intel nuc or similar, but for the time being a raspberry pi 4 is all I can afford.

I think you’re right, it was running out of ram before. It hasn’t done that since I’ve moved to nextcloudpi, thankfully.

I have a separate raspi 4 with yunohost that was slated for other experimental purposes, like Jitsi, but I’m still early in that process.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions, I learned a lot and I’ll continue to check back also.

My nextcloud raspberry pi server used to crash when it tried to do anything difficult, like open too many photos in a row. I adjusted some settings to try and keep it from running out of memory, but I’m not a very skilled sysadmin, and I’m using nextcloudpi now which adds another later of abstraction in an attempt to have saner defaults.

In a perfect world I would do this, but for nextcloud at least, I have to be able to access it from public computers where I cannot install and configure tailscale.

Sometimes I want to share services with friends and family too.

And Synology support for tailscale sounds like it’s finicky unfortunately.

Without a profit motive, where is the incentive to work efficiently? The cost to get goods to market will include the cost of the inefficiencies in the market? The fact that the tobacco is being grown on a small plot instead of huge monocrop, etc.

How could this compete against a black market that has a profit motive to get costs low so they can take more for themselves

Interesting, I already use cloudflare DNS and had “proxy” turned on for nextcloud, but I still had to open 80 and 443 on my router, so I’ll look up how to set up the free tunnel sometime
