I think one reason is the large number of German users on the Internet. With around 100 million speakers, German is the second most spoken native language in the West after English.
According to the application texts, many users seem to come from various podcasts. We are also "endorsed" by one of the largest German-language subreddits on its front page (r/ichiel). Our users have also started to watermark their memes, which occasionally attracts new users. Feddit also made it into an article in a popular IT magazine (heise).
Yes they do. Microcontrollers contain a microprocessor that is optimized for branching instructions and already include memory and peripheral interfaces which are connected directly to the processor bus (opposed to general purpose CPUs).
Gnome Boxes is also great for simple stuff on Linux. Besides there is virt-manager as GUI for libvirt. On macOS UTM is a good free and open source tool.
catbox.moe is quite popular as host. If you want to upload animated images directly to lemmy, they have to be in webp format (you can convert videos for example using this tool, depending on the size this will take quite some time).
Fedora is a great distro for development (used by Torvalds himself ;-).
If RAM is a problem you could try using ZRAM. Unlike the name suggests, this compresses data in RAM instead of swapping to disk, so that more data fits in there than normally available. Fedora for example uses zswapzram by default with a value of max(0.5*RAM, 4GB) but can be configured to utilise more.
Maybe memmy does not support this functionality yet. In that case you have to login to the web interface. You can find it in the menu at the top on desktop and in the expanded menu on mobile.
Such signatures are so annoying. Who in the history ever read this and thought “yeah, you know what I’ll get an iPhone for email”? Stupid preset.
