Yeah I’ve been trying to convince an acquaintance to use mastodon instead of Twitter for a while then yesterday he mentioned he created a bluesky account and I had to look it up, not great but better I guess

I was just reading up on bluesky yesterday and you can self host and also have a bridge to link with the fediverse so maybe there is some hope to communicate

I dont believe he was wearing a hat

What is the good thing about a phone rebooting?

Host steam-headless and use the GPU for that so you can have remote gaming on your phone anywhere you have 5G

are there people that only play FPS?

probably they just dont want to make new games and just want to keep expanding switch online, but still want to sell consoles as well

You can also run a free cloudflare tunnel. It’s what I us3 so I don’t have to open a port for my nextcloud but still want it to be able to sync to my phone while not on vpn

How many large gift cards do you use to pay for your irs fines a month?

Adobe still has lifetime purchases?

farm animals too

For email and calendar I’D probably look into proton. For other software tools i would start with services people like that you don’t have to manage other than be like the admin and as you go try and find alternatives and self host your own and teat it out. Maybe even something like digital ocean where you can just spin up a droplet that’s presetup for you and learn more and more until you’re comfortable to transition other people to it

I was just thinking about my free oracle server if it would be good for my own lemmy instance?

Have you checked out grav https://learn.getgrav.org/17/basics/what-is-grav

https://github.com/getgrav/grav

I use it just to make simple markdown sites for info like my gaming servers or if I feel like making a random blog post

I setup nextcloud and just use that to backup my Obsidian notes. But I also use next cloud deck depending on the type of notes or list I’m making

I’ve been using it for almost a year now and it works great. I used to just use a spread sheet to track my bills paychecks and due dates but this made it much nicer

I think a lot of people have switched to Linux and realized it was just a lot better, myself included. It took me a bit to let the differences soak in, just like when I got my first smart phone but after a bit of using it and trying things out you realize you should have done it a long time ago

I’m still mad we print so much stuff at work, it’s 2024 just update a spread sheet. I don’t need an email much less a physical copy of something I saw the update for an hour ago

Well with email if you want emails to come to you you also have to search for it and sign up your email to a list to receive them or give your email to people for them to send you stuff.

In lemmy you need to go to a community finder and find communities you want then you copy their link and paste it in your home instance search bar and hit follow. With email you need to search the web for a sites email list then paste your email in their and say you want to receive their email

Lidarr might help, like other said you need to start by organizing your library first then look at hosting.
