We’re DECSystem10, though sinza is a convenient singular entity that we tend to use I as. We are a plural collective!
I enjoy retrocomputing and find that NetBSD is awesome! In general I prefer BSD to Linux actually.
I enjoy getting old computers to talk to each other, as well as alternatives to the web where possible like Gopher, Gemini, and Spartan!

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
A quick look at the sidebar and hovering over, one of the moderators of this community appears to be a lemmy.world admin if that’s what you mean.
Considering how big lemmy.world is, I’d guess it’s more a bit of overlap than it being the same people.
For VPN I do like AirVPN a lot.
I do currently use Bitwarden for my 2FA as well as my passwords, though I should look into Ente Auth.
3·3 天前Well now I want to see a benchmark that pits the Wii U against a PowerMac G5 👀
I’ll be honest, I forget that NodeBB has become federated. Despite having run into an actual incompatibility problem between Piefed and NodeBB. 😅
Incompatibility details
So if you create a link post Piefed onto a NodeBB section, which looks like a community from my end, the link doesn’t show up.
I personally use Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin/etc. for social news rather than bolted on forum-like features. That’s where I think this software shines.
If you want a decentralized forum, I’d seriously recommend you look at Usenet and NNTP. Then again, I promote the usage of network protocols for what they are good at over forcing everything through the web. 😂
Definitely a very good post.
It reminds me of Chimera Linux’s stance on systemd, which I found to be the best explanation on systemd before these blog posts.
5·10 天前Not my instance (I’m posting from PieFed lol), but I noticed that lemmy.blahaj.zone has five UIs, including mlmym, set up.
7·10 天前I can second AirVPN. I’ve never had an issue with it, at least one that wasn’t ultimately user error.
3·1 个月前If you’re willing to use OpenBSD, there’s OpenBSD.amsterdam as far as cloud providers go :^)
In all seriousness, they donate about 15-20% of what they charge you to the OpenBSD Foundation. I also like their service. Though again, they are OpenBSD-exclusive, so I can’t say I recommend the service for your use case (which seems Linux-focused) unless you really want to switch to OpenBSD.
SQLite also has licenses you can pay for as well as support contracts you can get, though not a cloud provider.
Unfortunately, I don’t really know of anything similar in the Linux world or in regards to other databases and cloud providers nowadays. I know DigitalOcean in particular decided to abandon all of their FOSS donations except towards Omarchy for some reason.
I dunno, I remember learning about the SNES vs Genesis when I was in middle school.
Of course...
…I did learn of it through YouTube videos and not in a classroom 😂
