Its all good, as long as people watch. Upvotes/downvotes are just funny money/whose line is it anyways of internet points. AS long as people have a good time on lemmy im all good.

I have an old mac mini that was a server for a good 4-ish years.

The good:

1. They are pretty good at sticking in a closet and forgetting about them.
2. Specs are always on the decent side and some of the older models are easy to upgrade.
3. Power is ok. It sips power
4. It can run for years without issues. I still have two mac minis I used for CI/CD jobs, thin clients, etc…
5. Its a cheap mac. If you need mac for something, like building custom mac specific applications, then its a decent little machine.

The bad:

1. CPU is usually lacking compared to any computer of the same price range.
2. MAC OS. Its good at desktop but as a server, it just doesn’t have the same options/ease of use as a good linux box. You can get around that by dual booting, but its just another headache. Docker/VMs are also an option, but the RAM/CPU usage would take a hit.
3. The newer the model, the harder it is to upgrade.

I would use it as a specialty server if you have something you do automatically only macs can do. Or as a thin client/vm box.

I used to use it as a CI/CD box before github actions was a thing. If you happen to have one, sure set it up for fun. If you dont and are looking at buying one, I would suggest a cheap dell desktop or (depending on what you want to host) a pi 5 or thin client and throw linux on it.

Get a new number. No really, it helped me in the same situation.

I tried that but it got downvoted. Hackaday had a great article but people don’t like it for some reason.

Lol so what happens if all your online stuff is automated?

That means no mare ads.

Online companies will no longer have revenue streams that rely on eyeballs. Probably another subscription service…

In my area:

1. My area is a relatively Low cost of living area surrounded by people that have money. When they want to work remote but still stay in the same state, some % come east for cheap housing. They can pay cash for houses.
2. Corporations are buying houses, then renting. Less houses on the market. They also pay cash for houses.
3. People with multiple houses can use the aforementioned houses to buy up more housing to rent, creating a investment loop. Its in their best interest to keep the houses as small businesses/revenue streams.
4. There are apps that hook into MLS (example: https://www.mlslistings.com/more/mobile-app/) which means investors can make an offer faster than the general public or set up alerts (think stock market) that hook into the API. Ever wonder why some houses get multiple offers before or right after they are listed? This only works if the company/entity selling the property decides to add in the info into MLS and not just go with the defaults.
5. More people are alive today than yesterday. They need housing. There are less houses getting built, or being built for owning. For renting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrxZqPVFTag

If you find out, let me know…or post? Cause ive been looking for something like that for years in the software development side. The most consistent has been google translate…but its not the greatest API and expensive for anything other than corps. Most sites are just looking to make sure they meet requirements, thats it.

True. I modified my comment.

Theres a mix of tools that look like they are useful in someway. Or just neat and ive never head of them.

I mean software development as a whole, probably. Just knowing how to code in a somewhat larger org can open up job opportunities later on.

Fediverse specific…probably not. My cynical side thinks that most lose money/spend much more than we take in from the fediverse. Most projects are just passion projects with very little budget. But dont believe me, try it out! I want to be wrong on this.

Its interesting, theres a lot of links she references that I was not aware of in the fediverse (and otherwise).

• https://calckey.world/ looks like a microblogging platform.
• https://www.deepl.com/en/translator translation service.
• https://loops.video - still not sure 100%. Ticktock fedi? Is it any good?
• https://clubb.cymru/2024/04/25/linux-mobile-safer-phone-for-childern/ - I want this really bad. A linux phone that doesn’t suck would be nice.

Love that channel. If anyone wants to contribute: https://radiofreefedi.net/#contribute

They always need more music/voice/etc…content! Ive found and followed quite a few artists from Radio Free Fedi.

Yep. And to add to your statement, its probably to make torrenters/massive downloaders pay or curtail their activities. Then streaming came along, voice chat, etc… that both helped us entertain ourselves and work within the home from the pandemic. If people didn’t have unlimited plans, they would switch ASAP because it was no longer a want, it became a need.

Home internet did happen to have a limit in most places prior to the pandemic (at least in California). It was one of the big quiet changes that occurred. For example, ATT used to have 150GB limit about 5 years ago but it kept getting bumped up.

Yep. Kobo is much better nowadays.

Already has one.

Nice!

I told LinkedIn to opt me out. They told me to send a message to another department. Did it and it still says I’m in on the program. So I went and removed most of my data. I’m planning on getting rid of the account soon. I’ve never reviewed a job from LinkedIn in the entire time I was on the platform. What am I even doing on it? I can manage my own network much better than they can. And their jobs are all AI mining operations it feels like.

Thanks followed.
