It has a button to proceed though, it just does nothing when you click on it...

I did some testing for domain redirects, I think the best way to do a redirect (so you can use https) is using your own server (there might be some places that offer free cloud servers too tho)

first set up a dns record, with a name of @ (the root domain), type of A, and 'data' with the server's public ip address. (there might be an easier way to do this on your domain provider, it just needs to direct the domain to your server with a standard webpage configuration, you might also want to set up www to redirect to the root using a CNAME type record, or for this I guess it would probably be faster just to add another type A record to the same server and put server_name xn-blk.gay, www.xn-blk.gay; in the config)

then install nginx, put the following in the http section in /etc/nginx.conf:

include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;

I have the following config for an example redirect server (/etc/nginx/conf.d/test.conf):

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name test.adrian.place;

    # Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
    return 301 https://xkcd.com$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name test.adrian.place;
    http2 on;

    # Redirect all requests to the target URL
    return 301 https://xkcd.com$request_uri;
}

and then enable and start the nginx systemd service, run certbot to set up https, and then reload the service

Edit: If it's a home server you'll need to set up port forwarding for 443 and 80 ofc

works in Firefox and Chrome on Windows, although it is very slow

in Chrome it seems to work when clicking, when opening in a new tab, when opening in a new window, but when opening in an incognito window it gives an "insecure" warning and doesn't let you proceed to the site

I got a $40 used chromebook (this model), installed arch + xfce and had a great experience using it as a travel laptop. Some things that have worked well on it:

  • steam
  • portal 1
  • half life 1 and 2
  • celeste
  • minecraft with optimization mods (60 fps!)
  • trackmania nations forever (only on the smaller maps - it was running through proton so it was slow)
  • blender (even with editing fairly complex models actually, but rendering outside of workbench was slow)
  • freecad
  • musescore

its kinda fallen apart now, idk if its the os or the hardware, probably the os but it fails to boot 3/4 of the time and the headphone jack doesn't really work, imma try to reinstall soon

Also see Hitachi if you want to clear some mines, shoot mortars, or support artillery.

See Hyundai if you want a navy though http://naval-special.hhi.co.kr/en

If you want to be environmentally friendly or don't have much money, get a used laptop. If you want the best performance, get a gaming laptop. If you want Linux but don't enjoy messing with computers, or want a decently repairable laptop for a decent price, or just want to support them, get a system76 laptop. If you want very easy repairability or to support the general right to repair, get a framework laptop.

They all have their own niche, even when you want to install Linux.

IDK if Mastodon has a good way to port accounts but I think its good to have people first join a basic instance and then move to something more specialized once they get used to the platform

edit: on a more serious note, yes, when studying the biology of humans or similar organisms probably 99% of the time you can pretend there are only two genders/sexes, but

  1. that doesn't make it true
  2. even just 1.7% of the U.S. population is still a pretty big number (~580k people)

if communities don't have a home instance, how do they leave the instances with bad mods? would this mean that different communities can federate independently, as determined by community moderators?
