  • You'd be better off with something that has an EMMC slot (or ideally SATA connection). Running the OS off of an SD card is painfully slow. I've also found USB storage to be way more reliable than SD cards, in general. I used an external 4-bay drive connected via usb3 for years and never had issues. Burned through many SD cards over the same period.

  • No, not really. My VFT catches gnats but I don't think it would effectively reduce them overall.

  • Once the new season drops I think things will pick up.

  • Piracy. I couldn't live with 25%+ of my TV watching time being advertisements. Manually downloading episodes became too much trouble so I setup a Plex/sab/sonars/radarr config on a pi connected to a 4-bay external drive enclosure featuring refurbished HGST 2tb HDDs in an lvm raid-5 config.

    Eventually I also substituted my radio with paid Spotify so about the only ads im served are product placements and billboards. Its amazing how much less you'll spend without ads!

  • Yea I'm confused... The private prison officials sanctioned themselves to defraud Texas?

  • You can use any subdomain for any type of instance but if you see it on lemmy then its federated.

  • This is what's up. You really don't notice that any other instances are having issues unless you look for it. Your feed just fills up with the instances that are working.

  • FWIW sh.itjust.works was not searchable from kbin instances for the last 2-3 weeks until today. So things may improve soon.

  • Yea, good call. I wonder if kbin makes them viewable because the activity pub protocol does not allow them to be easily hidden.

  • Activities are public and easily viewable on kbin. It's been interesting. Seems mostly positive other than people harassing those who down-vote them demanding explanations.
