It's an mSATA SSD that I've been using as the boot drive in my 10-year-old laptop running Ubuntu. Recently I got my hands on a 256GB SATA SSD for upgrade and a USB enclosure for the old drive.

I'm not sure what I can use it for since I already have two 64GB USB thumb drives that only get used sporadically. The best I could come up with is to make it into a portable Linux boot drive for my Windows PC, but given the size was already struggling with my laptop, I don't think it would work too well with a full-on desktop computer. Any thoughts?

Just a heads-up for anyone looking to max out the elemental bonus.

It seems that a lot of people suggest the best way to use Lemmy or anything from the Fediverse, for that matter, is to host my own instance, so I looked it up and landed on the lemmy-ansible github page.

I looked though some of the procedures and it appears to require a domain which I don't have. By my understanding, after acquiring a domain, I will have to point it to some hosting service as well. So does that mean I'll have to buy a domain and rent a hosting service before I can get things going? Is this comparable to, say, hosting a Wordpress website of my own?
