Yeah, both with Mastodon, PeerTube and Lemmy I started on my own instances. Actually not quite, I had an Mastadon account for a day somewhere before I decided that I want to use it for real and installed my own instance.

Probably any of the ThinkPads I had. They were sturdy and just ran everything I put on them. Second place would be the Dell XPS 13, I like it because it is very small and light, but in the one I have now they already had to replace the motherboard after a month and when holding it with one hand it bends and sometimes does a click on the trackpad, but I don’t want to send it in a second time because I normally don’t use it like that.

It’s like 8 years ago or so, I had the InfinityBook with a skylake processor.

Bluetooth stopped working, send it in then it worked and stopped again, then send it in and it worked and stopped again.

The microphone had broken noises, tested it even under windows to be sure it’s a hardware problem.

Discoloration where the hands are left and right of the trackpad.

Plastic bezel around the screen fell off, the tape was bad quality.

Ah I wrote it down last year here:

I really wonder if they got any better, I had such a bad time with my tuxodo computer, had to send it for repair twice and replaced it with a used ThinkPad after less than a year.

Yeah something like the CX22 https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/ which is € 4.51 / month is enough for lemmy.

What I do instead is I host a series of services on my VPS and I pay about 20 EUR/month

• Lemmy
• Mastodon
• PeerTube
• my ruby on rails website + blog
• my old PHP website + blog
• another old PHP blog
• my sisters PHP website
• my sisters static website
• Firefox Sync server
• my bands static website
• a matrix server with some bridges
• a syncthing instance
• a TTRSS instance
• another static website

and I probably forgot some things.

I’m paying for the hosting of my single user instance.

I edited the post and added what our doughter wrote about her experience too. She gad a very different view on it compared to me.

“He is a witch!”

Pro tip: delete the app on your phone. Needing to put in the website into the browser breaks the misscle memory and you can then easier replace it with something else.

Ah I was searching wrong, now that you mention it I found a very simila.r one [email protected]

Then I guess it’s better to delete it to nog fragment it in unecessarily.

Where?

Then I have a great nostalgia tip for you, watch the K-drama called Replay 1988: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5182866/

My thinking was in the lines why they are doing in Germany too. They say look what the fashists did, never again! Same message would make sense in today’s Israel too.

I remember the IDF didn’t let me in to the Muslim part of the old city, even though I’m an atheist, grown up as catholic.

Are you saying German holocaust survivers should only protest German fashists and not Israeli fashists because if they do then they associate the Holocaust with Israel and thus help Netanjahu with it?

I have a hard time understanding your position.

That’s good, I’m just hoping they could go together with the holocaust survivers who live in Israel and be role models there too, god knows we need them there too.

The persons great grandfather died in Auschwitz because he was fighting for a independent Silesia.

But yeah, …

Once the US and Russia march in in South Africa, that annoying voice talking about the annoying human rights will be quiet very fast.

Did South Africa forget what they together accomplished against Germany? /s
