joining the fediverse to bitch about reddit is the same as going on a date, and spending the whole night talking about your ex

Reply in thread

It reminds me of the occasional times where a corporate email would be sent out improperly to "all" in our company. A few people would reply all: "take me off this list". Then someone would reply all to those guys: "don't reply all". Then other people would reply all:"you are spamming the whole company!", etc.

It would take an hour or so to die off, but It was kind of amusing to see people react to the chaos. I assume the bitching about Reddit will die off naturally.

What Are Your Favorite SBCs (Single Board Computers), Why, and How Did You Get Into Them?

I've had an Odroid running for many years, just as a Linux server to play with and automate some stuff on my home LAN. I was looking to upgrade to something with more RAM and found that the SBCs with more RAM get expensive pretty quick. Plus, there is the limitation of depending on a custom Linux build from the manufacturer that runs on the device. So I ended up buying a mini PC for not much more than an SBC with lots of RAM. There's this one, as an example for $150

I ended going higher in price with this one

But for just playing with Linux, these are much more useful because you can run any normal Linux distro.

How do I deal with "fractured" communities?

I found that the app Connect for Lemmy has the best implementation so far to deal with this. The common community names aren't aggregated into single feed, but when you look at your subscriptions, they are listed and grouped by the community name, rather than the instance. So, for example, I see all the "technology" communities next to each other in the list.
