If I worked on a way for people to Self-Host there own instance by resetting it up like I'd self-host at mine but then give them the device so they don't have to pay monthly fees, Do you think people would pay for that?
#Fediverse #FediverseInstance #FediverseHosting #SelfHosting
I'm not sure how much work it would be fully but might get a Raspberry Pi or something to test the theory out but I think I could create a Mastodon Instance that can be 'portable' / be sold to people to self-host in there own home.
I want to make it easy for people to self-host, especially for those who know nothing about coding and don't have time / want to learn. The goal would be to have a 100% functional instance that would be plug-n-go no worries about typing in commands, illegal instances / users ext.
I want to be able to easily give the update code to users when it comes to update time, I think the only thing they'll have to worry about if they don't manage there own DNS is paying for the domain, but other than that it should be 100% free from my hands if they wish to run it on there own.
Who knows if I can do it but I'm thinking about testing this as I really want to help bring people to the Fediverse, and why not help people run there own servers.

The image shows a screenshot of a Mastodon server's live feed. The top section displays the time as 18:03 and the network status icons. Below, the "Live feeds" section is selected, with tabs for "This server," "Other servers," and "All." The first post by user "Tom" ([@]thomas) is timestamped 1 minute ago, mentioning a database migration task named "Migrating to AddNewPublicIndexToStatuses." It humorously notes that adding an index to a Mastodon database with posts since 2027 might take a while, followed by a laughing emoji and an hourglass emoji. The post concludes with "(Oh LOL, it's done. But took about 5 minutes)." The second post by the same user, timestamped 6 minutes ago, announces that metalhead.club is now running Mastodon v4.4.0, accompanied by a crying-laughing emoji and a hand gesture emoji. It mentions minor database migration and indexing tasks are still running but unlikely to be noticed. Links to more information are provided, including techcrunch.com and blog.joinmastodon.org. The bottom of the screen shows a navigation bar with icons for home, search, new post, and notifications.

Good scoop by reporters with the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), who confirmed that Sergio Gor, the director of the White House Office of Presidential Personnel, was born in the former Soviet Union, specifically in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Gor prompted speculation about his origins when he declined to say where he was born, saying only that it was not in Russia.

This is really important for England where the Westminster government thinks it’s ok to stop labelling GMOs, but they’re forcing it onto Wales and Scotland who have said they don’t want GMOs

Good luck with this campaign! I really do hope Scotland and Wales win this fight. This roll out of relaxations around GMOs is horrific.
There’s been a lot of opposition to GMOs in England too, to no avail, it’s been soul destroying. 😔

I bet they can. They're very good at it--as are those urging them to drink.
How many times we got to watch them get worked up about something only to slowly shift the narrative until they're for it?
They'll swallow it eventually and ask for more. It's a cult.
8 July 1942 | Probably the first time a public execution by hanging took place in #Auschwitz.
Two Polish prisoners: Tadeusz Pejsik (12549) and Henryk Pajączkowski (22867) were murdered. They had been captured after the escape from the penal company on 10 June 1942.

How do you clean a MAME romset on Linux?
On Windows, I used to load the whole set of splits on Launchbox, filter out clones, mahjongs and that kind of thing, then export the thousands of remaining ROMs that are essential to life itself (If you don't need sprites like these, I don't understand you)
But I'm not seeing anything like that on Linux. Please point me in the general direction of the answer 🙏

Una volta ero da un orologiaio di Imperia.
Arrivò un collega milanese e gli disse che era stato a una fiera a Basilea, ma era pieno di "baluba".
L'imperiese gli fece la faccia "il signore non è nel nostro giro, quindi non capisce il nostro gergo", ma intervenni dicendo che la nobile tribù dei Baluba¹ ha troppa classe per abbassarsi a girare con un Daytona tutto d'oro.
E fui considerato orologiaio onorario 😄
The image depicts a futuristic spacecraft flying above a planet with a large moon in the background. The spacecraft is primarily gray with brown and white accents, featuring a complex design with multiple engines and a cockpit. It is positioned in the foreground, angled slightly towards the viewer, with its underside visible. The planet's surface is a mix of snow-covered mountains and reddish-brown plains, suggesting a cold, possibly arid environment. The atmosphere is thin, as indicated by the visible curvature of the planet and the thin blue line of the atmosphere. The moon is large and detailed, with visible craters and a reddish-brown surface, dominating the upper left portion of the image. The background is a gradient of dark space to a lighter blue near the planet's horizon, with stars visible in the distance.

Yes, if only there were some law requiring data breaches to be reported to the UK regulator within a certain timeframe eh? Something like, maybe, THIS?
“In the case of a personal data breach, the controller shall without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the personal data breach to the Commissioner, unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.“ - Art 33(1) UK GDPR
