That’s an expensive throw…

Not to mention the fact that, Google being Google, this is going to be shitcanned in a couple of years, anyway.

It might work better if the train was really blurred, but that probably requires an ND filter to bring the shutter speed down without overexposing.

Dog-fooding, but instead of food, it’s a dog eating its own vomit.

These people don’t get it, do they?

Oh, they get it, alright. They’re making more money than God, which is entirely the goal.

I’ve had that Rwanda from Sprout too, in fact, I currently have it in my cupboard. Truly wonderful beans!

I live in the Netherlands, so shipping isn’t an issue. I grab my beans from Fer in my home town. They tend to stock up on coffees from Dutch roasters like Sprout, Five Ways, DAK and some others too. Always nice to let myself be surprised by a bean I hadn’t tried yet.

They’re currently doing a thing with Kolibri, resulting in a really nice Brazilian roast under the Fer label.

When I’m in Groningen, I sometimes pick up a bag at Koffiestation — it’s what we typically will have a bag from at the office, as well.

Wait, what? Can you elaborate a bit?

Edit: I thought Revolt wasn’t open source, not sure what I had it mixed up with.

Well, that’s Plex gone from my server, then. I had switched to Jellyfin, anyway, but it was mostly “still there”.

No more.

Running the stuff on someone else’s computer still requires a dedicated team for “something serious”, unless you stuff everything in specific “serverless” platforms, in which case you’re still paying for admins, just not yours.

I don’t think “they should”, but if you’re willing / able to at least make a decent description of what it would entail, how it would work, and how it would benefit users, and possibly contribute in some other way, it might happen!

(It’ll take more than a sentence and a half from the sidelines, I think)

Exactly! As far as I’m concerned, robots.txt should be enough: I tell your bot to stay the hell away, or not, and your bot obeys. What it scrapes for doesn’t matter, IMO.

We don’t need more standards and rules for assholes to ignore, we need assholes to adhere to the rules.

And then there’s Discourse as well, to make it even more confusing. 🤣

I’ve heard of that, yeah, but I’m still not convinced a web page and chat mix well. They’re different in pace. That might just be me, though. 😁

I don’t know about decentralized, nor am I convinced that it should be, you’re responding to something on one page, I don’t think “decentralized” adds value here.

If you really insist on that, there’s several people who tack a fediverse thread onto a post. Mastodon, is seen often, I personally added a GoToSocial thread fetcher to my blog, I assume Lemmy could work as well.

As for non-decentralized but open, there’s Comments as someone already mentioned, and I’m personally using Isso, which presents itself as a drop-in replacement for Disqus.

Matrix is a chat protocol, not a comment system. You might shoehorn it into that role, but it’s never going to fit well, IMO.

Neil doesn’t need a chatbot with sparkles for that, he’s plenty capable to take absolute piss himself. 😁

A fair amount of drama is exactly their fault. Mozilla chose to increase management pay and fire people, Mozilla chose to flirt with ai, Mozilla bought an ad firm, and so on. It’s not like someone was holding a knife to their throat.

Yep, the M is for mb, that’s for RAM in this case.

As for levels… That’s not really that black and white, IMO, there’s no “best” platform, it’s always “it depends”. I think you’re fine with a pi, certainly for a while, and especially at the price point. Plenty of folks running fedi instances and Matrix off of 'em.

The only thing that comes close and has good software support would be a second hand small form factor office PCs, like HP mini PCs or the Lenovo ThinkCentre. Might buy you some expandability down the road, but it’s slightly bigger, uses a bit more energy, choices. It depends.
