I adore VLC.
I’ve been using Linux Mint for almost a year and a half now: would recommend it to anyone ready to make a jump into Linux and away from Windows. It’s quite friendly.
I’m also quite enjoying Sonarr to keep track of some older television shows that I enjoy.
I enjoy that Mr. Torvalds is referred to as an “emperor penguin.”
That is all.
Followed!
Echoing the need to create and seed (posting some example posts) for communities. On my end, the wiki resources of subreddits were some of my favourite content items, so new communities working on recreating shared pages and resources is right at the top of the list of things that excite me about Lemmy communities. ♥️
Alright! I picked up a pack, and two extra “Logo World Circles”. I’m looking forward to seeing the graphics I assisted with as stickers, @cheeseblintzes@lemmy.world! Not 100% where I’ll be putting them, but they’ll be placed somewhere…
Oh yeah.
This is going on the fridge…
Exciting to see! Hopefully we start to get some network effects, and start seeing communities pop up from the different parts of the internet.
One of the things I quite like about Lemmy is that a group can host their own community, and for folks who are concerned about what happened at Reddit or otherwise, the fediverse/decentralized model allows them a high degree of control, while at the same time connecting them through an entire network of people to discover them. It’s pretty exciting to see this.
My home server is a Ubuntu install on a 2017 laptop. A lot of guides have been very useful.
I installed several other tools, with Portainer, for a variety of imaged applications. With various containers I installed Jellyfin (for hosting old videos and converted media of mine), Calibre (for a digital library of textbooks from my history degree) and a few other tools. I’ve been half-tempted to host some WordPress sites, but I have yet to figure out nginx…
There is this guy who killed 40,000 elephants because he thought it’d improve the environment.
Anyways, it was a poor decision, which harmed the natural regrowth of grasses in Africa. And probably contributed to drought and poor soil conditions there. Sadly, he has been regarded as an expert and heralded as an environmentalist par excellance. So, less of a stupid prize for him than a poor prize for humanity writ-large.
Ah, it feels like home already.
Ah!
You have two options:
I go through Patreon, as I also contribute to a local news site and to the Mastodon developer team (… and so I can snoop in their Discord, which is Patreon only). I believe there is a preference for OpenCollective as a platform of choice.
History, my friend.
History.
Calckey has that. And so do other Fediverse alternatives.
It’d be nice to have some flair or a shiny object to showcase contributions to the funding effort. And something really simple would be excellent.
I’m already giving monthly through the Patreon for Lemmy.world / Mastodon.world. So, I’m fairly comfortable!
Ah! I’m on Mastodon.world!
EDIT: You also asked for why. Well, I wrote a blog post about it, actually…
Agreed! :lw: It’s such a cute critter!
