The rest of the page? Probably. I stopped reading after the comic.

I have a single Raspberry Pi 3b as a local file/media server running Jellyfin. I'm also running BOINC and seeding torrents of various Linux distributions. External HDD for storage, plus a thumb drive for the local media and another for the torrents so it only has to spin up when someone's actually using it.
It's not super-fast by any means, but it's fast enough to listen to music over my LAN, which is the main thing I need it to do quickly. Though eventually I plan on setting up a better NAS on something with faster I/O.
So the $140/year subscription they're already collecting isn't enough for them?
I guess this is as good a reminder as any to look at what I'm actually using Prime for these days.
GoToSocial (more polished) and Snac2 (minimalist) are both low in resource requirements and work well in my experience.
If I was only using it for file sync, maybe. Though as it happens, the Linux desktop file sync client works fine on here, and I can work on files locally.
But that doesn't help for things like, say, account settings, or tasks, or getting the right caldav URL to be able to plug it into a local client.
I'm using it for multiple services, not just one, and while some have apps available, not all do, and some features aren't supported in the corresponding app.
I'm using Nextcloud for a lot more than just file sharing. Calendar, contacts, tasks, RSS reader sync, etc.
Same. Thunderbird now has native support for CalDAV and I use DAVx5 to sync it with my Android devices.
Examples of this might include prioritizing mutual followers on Mastodon, or prioritizing low-traffic subscribed communities on Lemmy so that they don't get lost in the 50 posts from the busier communities.
Also:
- A open, customizable algorithm that lets the user set their own priorities, and if it does any "learning" based on user actions, it's geared toward the user's priorities and easy for the user to see and correct what it's learned.
Again, key factors being: open, customizable, correctable, and serving the user, not serving the platform.
They don't really use the major.minor.bugfix scheme anymore. If they did, they wouldn't be at version 117.
I tend to think of them all as minor updates that add up over time, like a rolling release with numbers.
I learned the term "glass cliff" when she was hired.
