Lemmy.world starting guide

Is there a way to turn off auto-refresh on the homepage's posts? Sometimes its cool to drink from the firehose, but other times you're trying to read titles of posts and they refresh and scroll off faster than you can keep up with. Would be great to have a auto/manual toggle for refreshing.

Republican Senator tells House not to vote on bill she just voted for

While I understand you may have meant that as a figure of speech, I also don't want to shrug what you typed off either. Politics can be very stressful, and the challenges in our life can feel completely overwhelming at times. If you are truly feeling hopeless, please reach out for help. If you're in the US you can call 988. If you're elsewhere please reach out to a friend, emergency services, or even a stranger. The world is a better place with you than without you.

good alternatives to raspberry pi which are cheap and efficient?

Thin clients off eBay. I picked up a Dell Wyse with 8gb memory, 4 cores, 16g emmc, and a 256G M.2 SSD for about $40. Includes the case, power supply, power button, etc. Still uses very little power. Install the x86_64 version of dietPi on that and it's been Rock solid running my docker projects.

Also picked up and HP T620 with similar specs. Haven't started using it yet but I expect similar results.

Much better deal than RPi and for most use cases equal or better able to do the job.

Google -> SquareSpace?

I switched all my donations to cloudflare. Tried out pork bun and did like it but cloudflare is so good. I do hate in principal that they force you to use their dns, but in practice I want to use them for DNS anyhow. Their ZeroTrust tunnel is pretty slick too.

Thoughts on Lemmy sorting options?

Hopefully the algorithm will improve over time - compared to the site which shall not be mentioned, I find that Hot or Active tend to show the same articles for days (despite there being plenty of newer content). Top Day works well the first time I log in for the day, but then that gets stale too. On the front page I feel like I need more like a "Top Hour" option ... so I can see what is new without the "drinking from the fire hose" that is "new".

These are the early days, Im not unhappy with where we are, I just hope this remains a work in progress and improves.
