Sebastian Lauwers: "What Lemm.ee’s shutdown means (and doesn’t) for the Fediverse" - Mastodon
Yeeeeaaaaahhhh that show had a disproportionate influence on me growing up.
We got like 220k years to spare. We're good.
I haven't used that, but I did rent a pocket wifi while on a trip once. It worked really well.
I meant trying to use it for flights that are outside of the US as there aren't as many options

Chase is needing the CSP
For Chase Travel purchases not eligible for Points Boost offers, starting October 26, 2025, all new points earned can be redeemed at a 1:1 rate on Chase Travel (replacing 1.25x on all Chase Travel purchases).
For points earned prior to October 26, 2025, you will automatically get the best offer available, whether it’s Points Boost or 1.25x on Chase Travel - maximizing the value of your rewards for the next two years.
New offers will be available on a rotating basis, so make Chase Travel the first stop for your next adventure
Pretty much you'll get the bonus on only when they decide you can. I'm thinking of cancelling my renewal and switching the Capital One Venture X, as I was considering the CSR.
I also found the chase portal to not be very satisfactory out of the US
One thing I recently found out is that ceph wants whole drives. I could not get it to work with partitions. I got it to work with longhorn, though I'm still setting things up.
Lemmy, piefed, mastodon, sometimes pixelated. No reddit.
I probably should have said that haha
Elena is a journalist who is big in the Fediverse. She just put out a video about it. You should be able to find it on her posts.
Westenberg is another writer who moved to the fediverse

Are a few that I like
Hetzner has VPSs and YunoHost as an option. You could do that for Uber $10/month. But, otherwise, anything used with an SSD. You'll need ddns with port forwarding and likely a reverse proxy as well.
Piefed has an option for gallery layout for photo groups. https://join.piefed.social/2024/01/21/optimizing-image-communities-introducing-grid-view-masonry-for-improved-image-display/
Piefed is like Lemmy and can federate with it
I've run a few models that I could on my GPU. I don't think the smaller models are really good enough. They can do stuff, sure, but to get anything out of it, I think you need the larger models.
They can be used for basic things, though. There are coder specific models you can look at. Deepseek and qwen coder are some popular ones

Reverse culture shock is when you return to your own country after going abroad and have the feelings of strangeness and bewilderment that you had when you arrived in other countries.

If the CIA wanted to put a keylogger on your phone, it would be customs, the CIA would intercept it at some point, possibly in customs, then put it in the boot loader or on the SSD firmware or something so you'd never know it was there and wouldn't reasonably be able to overwrite it no matter what.
That probably doesn't help you though. If you want to be sure you'd have to reflash every bit of the phone, not just the OS.
I don't want to ask about the chocolate
I didn't move shit haha. Dumped OneDrive onto the Nas and mounted it for next cloud, I didn't even clean out the photos, which I copied into immich. I did move some ebooks, but that was very few things that I have
Considering to join a lemmy instance not the least because it says "you can also blog on lemmy" (https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/06-other-features.html?highlight=blog#lemmy-as-a-blog) I have one
This guy made a FE for a blog using lemmy as the BE https://martijn.sh/
I just realized that there's the #blog hashtag on mastodon. There looks to be a lot over there.
Yaaaaay more Car Talk!
You'd probably be better following the hashtag on mastodon
Overall though, blogs have actually been harder to find, so I'm open to anything people have that they'd suggest!
